ROCKPORT means the hesl in

Good lr-rmber starts rvith good logs. Rockport selects tl-re very best, and manllfactLrres Redr,l'ood lumber noted for consistently high quality, in every grade. You can aln'ays rely on Rockport to please your trade. Our Certiliecl Dry Redr,r'ood Bevel Siding and Irinish is unsurpassed.

Now . . . Noyo brand Redwood Siding is factory stain-primed with P.A.R. Vater Repellent Finish to assure on-the-iob dependability

If you've been hesitant about using mill stained siding because of uncertain results, your problems are over. Union delivers more than ordinary stain priming.

First, you get P.A.R., the penetrating water repellent made by the manufacturers of famous Woodlife. Thoroughly tested, P.A.R. both tones and proteets against checking:and grain raising. Can't peel, blister or crack. Instead of masking like opaque paints, it enhances the natural beauty of grain and pattern. Just one more coat by the painter of widely distributed P.A.R. and the job's done.

Second, you get automatic finishing on all four sides, so either the rough or smooth face can show. IJnion's new finishing line assures complete uniform application, unexcelled quality control and considerable economy. So for "redwood magic" be sure to specify Noyo brand Siding in the two popular P.A.R. colors: Redwood and driftwood Gray.

The Movies

Sam Goldwyn has been quoted as saying, "Why should people go out and see bad movies, when they can stay home and see bad television?"

The trouble with the moving picture business is at the top. The average American is much like he has always been, a woishipper of Horatio Alger, of Cinderella, of nice boy meets nice girl, of clean talk and clean living, of the triumph of right over wrong, of home, of country, of flag, of patriotism.

Only the occasional movie-goer likes the obscene, the neurotic, the degenerate, the cruel, the savage, the sickening side of

life, and no movies should be made to cater to that particular human delinquent.

The advice of that master showman, George M. Cohan, is iust as true todav as when he wrote it. Let the test of everv movie be this: ';Does the audience leave the theatre feelin! happier, better, nobler, more patriotic, more inspired than when it came in ? If not, throw it out the window. There is enough poverty, and cruelty, and sadness and sin in the world, without going to a movie and paying to see it."

Wrote Cohan: "Always leave them laughing when you say goodby." And the philosophy still goes.

National Foresf Products Week Gains Greaf Attention

TT IS NATIONAL Forest Products Week (Oct. 15-21) I all over the country. And by special resoiution, it is being given extra special attention in Los Angeles County. _ Burton,W. Chace, member of the Board of Supervisors, Cgunty of Los Angeles, introduced the following iesolution which was passed by the board on September 29:

"Whereas, we have ga'lned great strength as a Nation because of the wise use of valuable forest land areas in the United States, one of the most lucrative resource deposits in the World; and

"Wheras, these 786 million acres of rich and fertile woodlands should be carefully guarded and revitalized annually; and

"Whereas, the cooperation of government officials and educated business investors have made it possible for this industry to maintain a much needed and consistent and increased rate of growth; and

"Whereas, we are fastly obtaining more advanced management techniques and conservation methods that enable us to expand timber reserves, and thus meet the demands of the population for the new and wide variety of outstanding forest products; and

"Whereas, future generations will be assured of an abundant sup- ply of these fine goods because of the foresight of many leaders interested in sponsoring reforestation programs, that automatically insure continued success in forest production; and

"Whereas, the processing and handling of forest products and the manufacturing of lumber, paper, and chemical products depends heavily on long-range forest fire prevention and supervision programs; and

"Whereas, thousands of local residents are provided with employ- ment and recreation from California wildlife and forest areas, whose existence depends most heavily on visitors and passers-by observing simple precautions:

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles designate the week of October 15 through 21, 1961 as Forest Products Week, on behalf of all the residents of this great metropolitan area."

An embossed copy of the resolution will be presented to the Los Angeles Committee for National Forest Products Week at a luncheon on Monday, October 16 in the banouet

Dealer's store showcases plyrvood construction

Pine Lumber & Supply's new store in Detroit is a profitable demonstration of new, logical ways to use plywood and plywood components. The eye-catching roof is a series of vaults, made of curved stressed-skin plywood panels. Ttrey're supported by plywood box beams, spanning 40 ft.-dramatic proof of pl5rwood's strength and stability. Coowners Chester Koppy and Reynold Berti say the store design is a real business-getter. "Builders and architects are espeeially interested in the vaults and beams, and they've been responsible for a lot of plywood sales."

Massachusetts dealer finds profits in packaged homes

When O'Connor Lumber Co., West' field, Mass., shifted market sights from individual home buyers to builders, profits started rising. Now O'Connor does business with about 50 builders, assembling and selling packaged plywood homes. Customers get a choice of about 30 different models. Alfred La Londe, who heads up thisi end of the business, says the system cuts a third off normal building time, and it.s additional cost to the builder is absorbed by lower labor costs and absence of waste on the job. He uses standardized materials: for instance, all plywood (for roof sheathing, walls, floors) is l/2" PlyScord, though this exceeds local code and FHA requirements. This is a quality talking point for home buyers. O'Connor supports builders' open houses with newspaper, radio and television advertising.

Prefabbed tool houses sell fast...yield N% profit

Lehigh Lumber Co., Allentown, Pa., started prefabbing garden tool houses for customers who balked at "doing-ityourself." Result: a booming little business that returns a 40 percent profit to Lehigh on each $169.50 toolhouse. The yard crew pre-cuts side, door and roof panels from s/e" and r/2" DFPA grade trademarked Exterior fir plywood. Panels are then nailed to 2 x 4 framing. With a simple instruction sheet from Lehigh, the customer can put the house together in three hours. Sales have been so good that Lehigh has started prefabbing sandboxes and playhouses.

Ag-Ply: profitable new panel for farm construction

Plywood research has come up with a rugged new all-purpose farm construction panel: Ag-Ply. It gives you a new source of high-profit sales. Ag-Ply was specially researched and developed by DFPA engineers to meet farm needs. ft has been thoroughly tested in DFPA's laboratories to make sure it will stand up to hardest farm use. It has a price and performance edge over all competitive products. You can recommend it for any general-purpose farm application: barn sheathing and siding, walls, ceilings, bins, feeders, small portable buildings. It's the panel to push when your customers want strongestand simplest - construction at lowest price. Ag-Ply is made with 10O/6 waterproof glue, the same as in marine plywood. It's available in all standard sizes and thicknesses. Like all DFPA grade trademarked plywood, it's backed by DFPA's rigid quality control program.

DFPA promotion and national advertising are pushing Ag-Ply demand up fast. You can get a complete sales kit, including mailers to pre-sell your customers, mobiles, signs, displays and sales booklets. If you aren't stocking and selling Ag-Ply now, send the coupon at right for more information.

Be sure you always specify DFPA trademarked plywood

It's good business to look for the DFPA grade-trademark on every panel. It means, first, quality plywood, backed by a rigid, industry-wide quality control program. When you stock and sell only DFPA trademarked fir plywood, your customers keep coming back because they know they can depend on it. Second, the DFPA trademark stands for the Douglas Fir Plywood Association's $6-million-a-year promotion program. Through advertising, field promotion and research into new and better ways to use plywood, DFPA keeps customers coming into your store and your plywood sales on the rise. Insist on the DFPA trademark on every panel. It's always a profitable idea.

DFPA has sales aidsand information to help you build your plpvood business. Booklets-envelope stufrerscoulter displays-construction plansjust send in the coupon, and we'll see that you get complete lists and descriptions of all available material, on the subjects you're interest€d in.

Planned Tree Cutting Aids Forest Conservafion

'T'HE OLD SAYING, "You Can't I llave Your Cake and Eat It Too," does not apply to the forest industry. Wise utilization of our renewable timber resource not only serves present needs but provides for increased growth and healthy forests for the future. Years ago, when the conservation movement started in this country, utilization was a strong element in its makeup; but memories of exploitation and plundering-a logical expression of the times-lingered, and as time passed, its direction was emphasized by the scarcity, or famine concept. Too many writings have exploited this myth of the scarcity of wood. The past confusions are well stated by Dr. John Zivnuska in his "Timber Today-and Tomorrow," an independent appraisal of the recent Timber Resources Review:

"For decades two broad conceDts or generalizations appear to hive cast a shadow over the forest situation of the LI.S. Despite their apparent contradictory nature, both were widely held. The one was the fear that overcutting and uncontrolled fires were destroying the nation's forests, a concept which at one time led to the expectation of an absolute 'timber famine.' The other concept, developing under the influence of a declining per capita consumption of lumber, was that the demand for forest products was declining, thus reducing the economic incentive for productive forestry."

Dr. Zivnuska goes on to state that there are expanding srrpply possibilities

and expanding market opportunities. Without question, this confusion is beginning to clear up. Periodic surveys through the years have shown that forest practices have improved, that forest growth has increased, that today, nationally, more wood is growing than is being used. This is not to say that there are no forest problems facing us. The point is that there is no wood shortage.

A first hand view of our virgin forests clearly depicts the conditions that exist when man has not applied modern day forest practices. In these old forests, trees that have reached maturity begin to decline; and the natural inroads of pests and other destructive agencies take their toll. Such a forest has at best reached a stalemate; valuable wood is wasted through decay, and this waste cancels out the value of the growth of young trees.

Now let us compare this wasteful process to that of a managed forest. The mature, the overmature and dying trees are cut as a croD to serve our needs. In addition, conditions for new

When you think of timber-standing trees-the forests with which our State of California are so abundantlv blessed. you should picture in youf mind a "crop of trees" that is surely just as much in need of harvest at point of maturity as any other "crop" whether it be grains, fruits, vegetables or grasses, or even livestock, for that matter. When nature is left to pursue its natural course, it accomplishes a method of "harvest" which achieves its purpose; but in doing so generally employs a wasteful procedure.

growth are improved; and young trees have more light, moisture, and space for faster growth. Thus our stagnant forest, through managed harvesting, has become an awakened producer of timber and other forest products. That which rvas rotting away now becomes a dynamic living force that will con-

tinue to contribute to the wood needs of our nation, to the support of our forest industries, and to the permanent maintenance of communities largely dependent upon the activities of the forest industries.

In addition to providing wood products and improving forest growth, forest management, through good harvesting procedures, adds to the sources of water and imDroves the conditions that promote and support wildlife ; the wildlife adds to the pleasure of sportsmen, and the foresti as a whole provide greater enjoyment to the people who use them.

With all these benefits to be derived from properly managed forests, suppose we take a look at the extent of this forest resource in this great State of California:

Our State has a total land area of about 100,000,000 acres. Picture this in your mind as an area equal to the six New England States and New York and Pennsylvania. Our forests cover nearly half-about 42.5 million acres. Of this forest land some 17.3 million acres are classed as commercial forests -forests capable of producing sawtimber and other prodtlcts-and include the world-famous redwoods as well as our forests of oine and fir. The other 25.2 r'r,illion aires of forest land are reserved for parks and wilderness areas, or are occupied by non-commercial forest growth.

We have not only large areas of commercial forest land, but these lands are of high quality as well. Conditions

of climate and soil result in timber grorving sites of high productive capacity. This high productive capacity of our forests, together with economic utilization, gives opportunity for the intensive forest management that will produce successive crops of high b;

quality products.

Even after more than 100 vears of timber harvesting for man's use, California today has 360 billion board feet of sawtimber standing in its forests. That is enough to build 35 million new h6mss-2lmost enough to rebuild every dwelling in the United States. It would require 12 million railroad box cars to hold that much timber, or six times as many box cars as there are in the country. A train of that many box cars would reach around the earth at the equator four and one-half times. These statistics are impressive, but they do not tell the real story of this basic resource-the land itself, and its remarkable ability to grow repeated forest crops torever.

Have we overlooked the extent and potentialities of our vast wood reservoir? The forest conservation problem is not one of scarcity. but of utilization. Will the future economy be such that this wondrous resource can be fully utilized and managed as a crop ? The future is difficult for anyone to predict, but it is not far away and we must prepare for it. We must overcome our ingrained fear of wood famine and replace outmoded conceptions of restricted use and preservation with the new concept oi marraged wood crops available in perpetuity.through rutilization. The public must know that by using products derived from itwhether in the form of wood, wood fiber, or the chemical products of wood -the full benefits of the forest will be

Chicago's new $34,000,000 exposition center, McCormick Place, will host the NRLDA members. The massive ten story structure will house all exhibits on just one wide floor and provide all meeting rooms.

Under the joint sponsorship of the NRLDA and the American Gas Association, a closed circuit television network will cover the four-day show. Strategically located cameras will record outstanding events on the showroom floor, relaying them via closed circuit cable to hotels housing dealers and exhibitors.

This unique attraction will allow dealers to tune in on the Exposition before leaving their hotel rooms in the morning, and after returning in the evening. The television system will also be used to announce coming attractions, and as a paging system and message center.

Some 240 exhibits will be displayed by different manufacturers, distributors, and lumber associations. Among those participating are E. L. Bruce Co., The Celotex Corp., Georgia-Pacific Corp., Hallinan Lumber Co., Long-Bell, Johns-Mansville, Johnson-Flaherty Inc., Masonite Corp., National-American Wholesale Lumber Assn., National Oak Flooring N{fg. Assn., U. S. Plywood Corp., West Coast Lumbermen's Assn., Western Pine Assn., and Wilhold Glues Inc.

Yard Planning Center

Among the featured exhibits will be the Yard Planning Center. Central attraction of this exhibit will be the "Talking Lumber Yard," a scale model illustrating every feature of a well designed yard.

Dealers are invited to bring their yard layout and operation problems to the Center for on-the-spot suggestions by the exhibit personnel staffed by the U. S. Gypsum Co. Dealers wishing advice should bring a plot layout of their

Time and cost studies will be presented to show actual field cases comparing different types of construction as an aid to dealers in determining the method of utilization which will lower the cost of housing while maintaining or exceeding quality standards of performance.

This program is designed to fulfill the Council's primary purpose which is research and education for the retail lumber industry.

Profit Parade

The "Profit Parade" will be a 9O minute presentation illustrating the individual dealer's profit picture and the whole industry's growth potential for the next decade. It will be a factual and dramatic approach to the vast remodeling market and its projected growth during the comlng years.

One of the most comprehensive exhibits of materials handling displays ever presented will be seen at the Exposition. A large open area adjacent to McCormick Place will provide the setting for a parade of work-saving equipment which will pass before dealers. A brief explanation will be given as to the abilities of each piece of equipment.

Various attachments will be demonstrated, presenting features of value to the building materials industry. Following the explanation of equipment, dealers will be permitted to roam the demonstration area to look over equipment of special interest.

The booth of the International Order of Hoo-Hoo will display the work of Stanley Kaplan. The muralist's off-beat technique combines woodcut making, conventional o,i1

State Forest Products Day-Something For All

EAUTY QUEENS, tree topping

Lt by daring Danny Sailor, log rolling by Russ and Diane Ellison-a regular three-ring circus-greeted some 10,000 tnfee-rlng' IU,uuu California State l-air go-ers on September 9, through the efforts of the

hard-working committee of Forest Products Day III. Playing to an overflow crowd in the State Fair race track grandstands, the one-hour show also brought home the importance of California's lumber industry to millions of readers and TV vie\,\'ers through excellent press and TV coverage.

Shortly after the eleventh and last race (and after we had deposited our

$2.00 Win ticket on a real beetle in the ash can), loudspeakers all over the fair grounds announced the show. The people came in droves-standing room only--and at 7:00 p.m. Wayne Hubbard opened the program with some significant facts on California's lumber industry-the second biggest industry in the state. Other speakers included

A. B. Hood, manager of Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company and president of Forest Products Day, and Warren

A. Carleton who sooke on California's great forests and the industry in general. Their messages were clear and their points well made. Together with

the show that followed the Forest Products Industry received not only valuable free advertising-but prestige as well.

The Forest Products "message" received, the crowd was then treated to a fine exhibition of log rolling by Diane Ellison of Aberdeen, Washington, the World's Woman log rolling champ, and her dad, Russ, himself a three-time winner of the Men's World Championship.

Daring Danny Sailor and his spectacular tree-topping exhibition held 'em breathless as he braved high winds to do deep knee bends and a head stand

on the l2-inch top of a tree trunk more than 80 feet above the ground.

The final event was the crowning of the "Queen of the Forest," vivacious Carol Blom of State Box Company, West Sacramento. Queen Carol II was selected from a field of l0 lumbergals -all winners in any book-and she received her crown from Shari Britt. last year's Queen of the Forest.

The successful program over for another vear. members of the Forest Produits Industry and their guests gathered at the Governor's Hall on the

State Fair Grounds for a welcome libation and a little relaxation after a "job well done."

There were over 150 persons at the cocktail party and dinner honoring "Queen Carol" and concluding the observance of the d.y. Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club #5 sponsored the Queen Contest, aided by the Hoo-Hoo-Ette groups in Redding, Eureka, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Contest judges were LeRoy H. Stanton, Los Angeles; F.F. I\{omyer of Standard. Calif.: and Bernie Barber of Fresno. Bernie Barber also acted as master of ceremonies at the evening banquet.

F'orest Products Day is a non-profit organization which each year brings the Lumber Message to millions of Californians. A large number of manufacturers. wholesalers and retailers support the project (and their own weliare) by contributions of from $10 to $50 each year.

Offrcers of the non-profit organization are: A. B. Hood, general manager of Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company, president; LeRoy H. Stanton, E. J. Stauton & Sons, vice-president; C. D. I-eMaster, former owner of Western Building Review, secretary-treasurer. Other o-fficers include C. Russell Johnson, president Union Lumber Company; and Bob Nikkel, head of R. F. Nit ket Lumber Company.

Deoth of Members Sqddens Convenlion

The delegates and members assembled in Miami for the 70th Annual Convention of International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo were shocked and grieved to learn of the tragic death of two beloved brothers and their wives, as the result of the crash of the commercial airliner, enroute to the convention, Sunday morning, September 17.

You don't have to weigh 265 pounds to be a pro

And you don't have to be a "lumbering giant" in the forest products industry to do a fine, professional job!

But what makes a pro? It's the experience that comes only with actual play against fast competition. It's the ability to do the tough things right,time after time. It's coolness under

fire superior performance under adverse conditions.

Oregon-Pacific is a "pro" in the lumber marketing game. If you want professional performance in your lumber and plywood merchandising program, put Oregon-Pacific on your team!

"And have you music at the church ?" I asked the rural squire, "Well, no," said he, "can't say we have, Just singin' by the choir."

Just grin *n.. ,o,l.ol,'" i.t, And make it wide-not tight and thin, Say "Hello Bill" and "Howdy Jack," And slap the fellow on the back, Stick out your mitt, and crack a joke, If no one laughs there's no bones broke, And by and by you'll make our club, A sort of happy sunshine hub, That radiates good cheer ancl vim, Because you grin when you come in.

Speaking of merchandi.i"*, ,nO tell a story about a little old man running a little old store in a little old town in the deep South. One day he was dozing behind the counter when a small boy came in ancl in a shrill voice demanded a pound of butter. The storekeeper woke, stretched himself, and in an injured tone he asked : "Good gosh ! Ain't tl.rere nobody sells butter in this town 'cept me ?"

Robert Ingersoll wrote long ago: "If you catch one of your cl-rildren lying, don't grab a club and rush at him like an ogre. Be honest with him. Tell him the truth. Tell him you've told hundreds of them yourself. Tell l"rim that between truth and lying, truth is the best policy. Tell him you know-you've tried both."

Long ago the following appeared in this column, author unknown: "I have little sympathy for the reforrners who are concentrating their efforts on restraining people from cloing evil. My heart goes out to those workers who are trying to make this world a happy, joyous, clean place. All we need to do to overcome this so-called evil is to increase the an-rottnt of good. It is love that conquers hate; not hatred o{ l.rate. \\re gair-r nothing at all by hating evil. The hater is a prisoner of himself. Tl.re lover of goocl is the rnagician who is working in harmony with divine law."

BY JACK DIONNE

If a man talks about himself, he's space for the purpose and brag about to his heart's content, and they won't He is just a "good advertiser."

a bore. But he can buy himself and his business even call him an egotist.

A good debtor is one whose earning equipment, whether it be property, muscle, or brains, indicates sufficient income to take care of the line of credit desired, and whose known inclinations warrant that in case of temporary failure, his honor will remain intact. ,< *

Some practical man l-ras been quoted as saying that his idea of genuine preparedness is to buy a stout pair of walking shoes with every used car he buys. A visitor to a used car lot said to the salesman who came to wait on l.rin.: "I'd like to see a good used car." And the salesman answered: "Oh, boy, so wouldl!" x x

George Bernard Shaw was once a guest speaker in a London church, and with splendid audacity he said: "I like to think of my God as a young man with llis career still before Him. I hate to think of God as an o1d man who strikes bargains with His creatures about the salvation of their souls, or a God wl-ro has to be begged or bribed." * *

A country newspaper once offered a prize for tl-re best definition of a Democrat and a Republican. The prize answer was: "A Democrat is a man who thinks a Republican administration is bad for business. A Republican is a min who thinks a Democratic adn-rinistration is bad for brrsiness. And both are right."

It was a brilliant church lt"Jo,"*, ancl a daughter of the very top layer of high society was walking down the aisle. She was a charming, delicate looking girl, blushing and smiling in a filmy weclding go\A,n, walking daintily along, seeming almost to float, so feminine and grace{ul she was, her gossamer veil floating like a halo about her lovely head. She was any man's best bet {or an angel. At the very altar she stubbed her toe against a pottecl li1y resting on the floor, and the astonished preacher rvaiting there, plainly heard her say: "Now isn't that a hell of a place for a lily ?"

Strable Lumber Company's Frank Timmers was elected "Most Horrible" at the Annual Election Meeting of Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club 39 at the Claremont Hotel, the evening of September 18. In the words of Bill Chatham, who each year breaks the boys up eulogizing about the good old days when he was president of Club 39, Bill noted "Boys, I really thought you scraDed the bottom of the barrel last yeai'ivhen you elected Johnson (Bill) Dresident of this club. But I was mistaken again. This year you have reached a nerv lorv."

Chatham's funning with the incoming and outgoing presidents (and any past president who rnight be unfortuirate enough to have come to the meeting) is always a high spot in Club 39's anrrrlal electlons. This year's "eulogy" was no different.

Also "unanimously" elected to offrce for the coming fiscal year (whether they liked it or not) were Jim Henrlriik, vice-president; Tom Jacobsen, Sr., secrettry-treasurer; and Jack I(oepf, sergeatlt-at-arms.

Club 39 clirectors t'ho will serve the club during the coming year include: Earle Bender, Vic Roth, Bob Beileck, Bruce Jacobsen and Ji* Doherty.

DFPA Follout Shelters Commended By CD Chief

The Douglas Fir Plywood Association has received a letter of commendation from the Department of Defense for its two-year research project in low-cost family fallout shelters.

The association recently announced the availability of plans for three basic versions of its shelter, to be built underground, above ground and in existing basements.

The commendation came from Steuart L. Pittman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Civil Defense. In a letter to DFPA Executive Vice President W. E. Difford. Pittman wrote that the association "is to be commended for

its outstanding efforts, which we are certain will help in a signficant way to emphasize and accelerate the fallout shelter program that is such a vital part of civil defense."

Pittman also expressed appreciation for what he termed "the opportunity to assist you in the development" of fallout shelters his office described as "equal or superior to any designs presently available."

The association's shelters are made of easily-available plywood and lumber in standard sizes. The underground version is made of pressure-treated material.

In answer to questions about the durability of this type of construction,

R. M. Lindgren, chief of the division of wood oreservation for the Forest Products -Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture, wrote to the association that:

"A shelter of this type . . should remain serviceable for periods exceeding 20 to 25 years." His opinion was based on tests under the most hostile conditions to durability. In states outside the humid South, the life of treated wood is almost indefinite.

Chqrlie Whire Elected Prexy Sqn Froncisco Hoo-Hoo

Live-wire lumber merchant Charlie White was unanimously and enthusiastically elected president of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 at the club's Annual Election Nite meeting at the Iron Duke on September 26. Charlie, who is a partner in White Lumber Company with yards in San Francisco and at Daly City, succeeds outgoing prexy Gay Bradt who was highly commended by the membership for his outstanding leadership of Club 9 during the past year.

Judging from dealer White's acceptance talk it was obvious the Club 9 was not in for a purely "social" year. Several new thoughts regarding Forest Products promotion and legitimate distribution practices were outlined. Both will be expanded at future meetings. Dealer White also brings a fresh approach to Club 9 activities-f166 the retail lumber merchant's ooint of view. Because of San Francisco's heavy concentration of wholesalers and mill representatives, Club t has quite naturally been headed by representatives of the wholesale segment of the lumber industry for the past several years.

Other officers elected to serve for the coming fiscal year include: first vice-president, Dick }lo5Jan, Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company; second vice-president, Bill Carter, J. E. Hig- gins Lumber Company; secretary, Chuck Dickinson, California Redwood Association ; treasurer, Bob Nelson, Hobbs Wall Lumber Company; first sergeant-at-arms, Owen Stebbins, The Pacific Lumber Company; and second sergeant-at-arms, Frank Billings, California Pacific Sales Corporation.

The new directors slate for the coming year as follows: Lloyd Hecathom, Arcata Redwood Company; Harry Ifood, The Pacific Lumber Company; "Doc" White ; Lloyd Hickok, J. J. Moore & Company; Keith Harry, Georgia Pacific Corporation ; Ike Zafrani, Harbor Lumber Company; Max Cook, The California Lumber Merchant; Jack Pomeroy, Lumber Merchants Association; Frank E,gnell; and Ed Brush.

Western Forest Producfs €ompony Los Angeles

Bob Theetge, owner of the Western Forest Products Co., Los Angeles, announced last month the appointment of Ray McKendrick to the post of general sales manager for the wholesale lumber concern.

Ray has been identified in Southern California wholesale and retail sales for more than 12 years. He is popular and well known throughout the industry, not only in the southland but throughout the west, at all levels.

"We are showing a steady growth in our service to southwest dealers and industrials and under Ray's guidance we intend to expand our volume of sales throughout the trade area," said Bob Theetge. "We are presently doing a substantial direct car shipment business to the mid West and Eastern markets and we intend to expand this coverage to a much greater degree," he continued.

Western Forest Products Co.. Los Angeles, specializes in direct shipments of all Pacific coast lumber products via rail or truck and trailer, also L C L from a complete inventory of

yard stocks, it was said. They have been serving dealers in this area for more than six years "and we intend to grow with California", said Bob.

Archaelogical diggings near Ankara, Turkey, three years ago uncovered massive wood beams that had remained sound for 2,700 years. These were found in the tomb of King Gordius, father of the more famed King Midas.

"Getting Around the Cash and Carry Question" will put

rHE CA1IFORNIA DOOR COMPANY

the spotlight on the future of this business and its possible effect on the building materials dealer.

A top technical program entitled "Accounting ar-rd Costing of Materials Handling" will be aimed at describing clear and concise methods for determining materials l.randling costs. This factual discussion is intended principally for managerial people responsible for the efficient operation of a yard.

Five experts will comprise the discussion panel for "Should Dealers Buy or Manufacture Components." The panel will illustrate the profits and problems encountered in component manufacturing. It is clesignecl to help the dealer to determine just rvhat part he will play in this expanding field.

"Shell Homes America's Fastest E,xpancling Market" will give the dealer a clear understancling in cletermining his entry into this fast growing and lucrative market.

"X'{aterials N'Iovement for Small Volume Dealers" will be the featured materials handling event of tl-re show. This program will be highlighted by pre-recorcled series of cluestions, answers, and discussions of various materials handling features from some of the top retail lumber and building suppl1' dealers in America.

This recorcling will contain information of value for the growing retailer who is not mechanized, as 'ivell as those retailers in the first steps of mechanization.

Aclcled to this audio demonstration will be a visual display clepicting the pitfalls, as well as the good points, of an enlarged materials hanclling program. A lively exhibition of uumechanized materials handling rvill also be shown.

He came into a baker's shoo and said to the baker:

"Tomorrow is my birthday. I want you to make me a birthday cake. I want just a medium-sized white cake, covered with *6ite icing. And bn the top of the cake I want you to put in pink icing my first name, 'Otto.' And I want the lettering of that word to be in Old English lettering."

The baker said okay, the price would be two dollars, and the cake would be ready the next morning.

The next morning the customer came into the bakery, and they showed him the cake. He said:

"It's a beautiful and delicious looking cake. And I really hate to kick about it. But I can't take it. There's been a great and serious mistake made. I told you that the name on the top must be done in Old English lettering, and you've done it in Old Roman. And I can't possibly accept it that way. It's impor- tant-in fact, it's vital-that the lettering of that name be in Old English."

"You are correct," said the baker, "and the fault is mine. I remember that you DID specify Old English, and I turned the order in wrong. But I'11 have it retopped at once, and have it done exactly as you want it. If you'll come back in two hours it will be ready, and I guarantee that it will be satsifactory."

So the customer came back at noon, and the cake was ready. "That's beautiful," he said, "and I'm very much pleased. Thit name in pink icing is .done in the most perfect Old English lettering 1ow, .and it is just exactly right. Thank you very much for doing it so well."

And he paid for the cake. Then the baker said:

"Shall we deliver it for you, or will you take it along with you ?"

"Oh, don't bother," said the customer. "I'M GOING TO EAT IT RIGHT HERE !"

Broiled ond Boiled?

A big turnout of thirsty and hungrY (in that order) lumbermen took in the Annual Santa Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Barbeque at the Palo Alto Elks Club on September 13. Knute Weidman, popular Peninsula wholesaler, chairmanned the successful outing and should be congratulated on the arrang'ements for a fine evening.

Highlight of the evening was the chow-Charcoal broiled steaks a la Roger, the chief chef at the Chez Yvonne Restaurant at nearby Mountain View. Only one problem was experienced, and that was the problem of prying Chef Roger away from the "table of chance" long enough to get the charcoal going and the steaks on the tables. Poor Roger. It definitely was not his night !

With the successful Annual Barbeque out of the way for another year, Club 170 turned to a business meeting in October, National Forest Products Nite with San Jose dealer Bill Mitchell chairman. The meeting was held on the evening of the l2th at the Chez Yvonne Restaurant, Merl Tanner presiding over his last meeting after doing an outstanding job as president of Club 170 during the past year.

New Product Introduced

The STA-WET Company of Louisville, Kentucky, has announced the introduction of the WET-BAK Instrument for positive wet bulb control. This instrument functions to automatically control the water level of the wet bulb reservoir. This assures a constant water supply of even temperature, for the wick of the wet bulb thermometer. The control is based on a positive open and a positive shut valve which tends to eliminate clogging of the valve port. This tended to occur with the "cracked" needle valve heretofore used to maintain the water level of the reservoir constant by the continuous drop by drop addition of water.

The apparatus operates by means of a special valve which responds to changes in the liquid level of the reservoir. Although

this is accomplished automatically, the instrument is sufficiently sensitive as not to appreciably change the temperature of the water in the reservoir by reason of addition of new water thereto. The entire apparatus is automatic and eliminates the possibilitv of the reservoir going dry over the weekeni or at night when the kiln may be unattended. It eliminates the necessity of periodic nightly checks in the drying chamber by a lone nightwatchman, thus eliminating the possibility of his being overcome or accidently trapped.

The first installation of the WET-BAK Control was at the Tuggle Lumber Company of Louisville, Kentucky. This installation has been satisfactory in all respects.

The instrument will be marketed bv the STA-WET Company and inquiries .o,i..rrr- ing same should be addressed to this com-

pany at 402 Republic Building, Louisville 2, Kentucky.

When I decided to build me a house I felt iust a little afraid

That plan and design were not quite in my line So I sought Architectural aid, And said: Show me, pray, something most recherche, For I'm weary of hanging my hat fn an early Victorian Pre-Montessorian Plain two-by-fourean flat.

The Architect puffed at his period pipe, As he sat in his Renaissance chair, And he gave me a smile in the pure Gothic style Though he spoke with a Romanesque air. Said he: If your taste is not wholly debased, The best, you are certain to find, Is the later colonial, Pseudo Baronial G. Washingtonial kind.

I thanked him politely and paid him his fee But sundry acquaintances cried, "That stuff you should shun, for it hasn't been done Since Benjamin Harrison died !" And they took me direct to a new Architect Who argued with logic compelling

For a Quasi Delsartian Post Bona Partean Wholly Beaux-Artean dwelling.

My downfall had started ; I groped in a maze Of traces, transitions and trends, And I labored anew over prints that were blue With the aid of my numerous friends. But I don't knit my brow about building plans now For all of my money is spent; And my home's an Arcadian Second-Crusadean Pink-Lemonadean Tent.

It is said that every well-equipped law office has three distinct and separate departments, as follows:

One for those who are in trouble, and trying to get out.

One for those who are out of trouble and trying to get in.

And the last for those who are out of trouble and want to stay out.

And the latter is where the big money comes from.

Webster's lmmortol Words to the Flog

"When my eyes shall turn to behold for the last time the sun in Heaven, m^y t not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious union; on states dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood ! Let their last feeble and lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the republic, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high advanced, its arms and trophies streaming in their original Iuster, not a.stripe erased or polluted, nor a single star obscured, a stripe nor a si bearing for its motto no such miserable inter is all this worth?' nor those other words of beartng its motto no interrogatory as, 'What worth ?' nor those of delusion and folly,

'Liberty first and union afterward'; but everywhere, spread over all in characters of living light, blazing on all its ample folds as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole }leavens that other sentiment, dear to every true American heart-Liberty and lJnion, now and forever, one and inseparable."

-Daniel Webster.

NRLDA Exposition

(Continued, from Page 27) i

The model yard will enable dealers to gather can be turned into a personalized cost savings

Although the Exposition will be officially closeJ the afternoon of November 7, a field trip planned for the 8th is expected to attract a large number of interested dealers. This trip will focus its attention on areas of permanent importance to building materials dealers, offering a better understanding of proven profit making ideas.

First stop will be the E-G }fome Center in Downers Centers which has proven an outstanding example of a "one stop" operation.

The Moser Lumber Company is the second stop on the tour. Here every aspect of modern materials handling will be available for study, allowing dealers to evaluate and compare their own materials handling system.

Last stop on the tour is the Edward Hines Lumber Company where visitors will be treated to attractive displays of products and special promotions which will awaken fresh ideas for dealers looking for new avenues of salesmanship.

Entertainment Planned

This year's Exposition will pleasantly blend important dealer business with exciting entertainment. For the ladies a program of sophisticated fun is planned, including a tour of Chicago's cultural centers and scenic beauties, a talk with nationally sydicated columnist Ann Landers, and a special guest appearance by lovely Mrs. America.

Entertainment for this glittering event will feature music for danci.g, plus the appearance of the hilarious "Pantomine Band," the group that drew rave notices during an extended stay at the Coconut Grove in Miami.

Stars of show business display their talents nightly in the intimate atmosphere of, small lounges and from the stages of legitimate theatres. Superb restaurants, famous the wbrld ovei, offer the finest in food, whether it is delicious steak from Chicago's mammoth stockyards, or fresh fish from Lake Michigan.

Redwood Production Increcrse

Redwood Production during August was higher than any month in a year, according to figures released today by the California Redwood Association. Year-to-date totals, however, still trail 1960 shipments by a substantial margin.

Reports to the CRA by 11 major producers showed that 55,860,000 board feet of redwood was produced in August, just 101,000 board feet less than August, 1960's high of 55,961,000. August figures are usually high, however, as mills make up for vacation periods in July, when the mills shut down.

Shipments in August amounted to 50,037,000 board feet, higher than the July total of 38,610,000 board feet, but lower than the 53,375,000 board feet shipped in August of 1960. New orders rose less than a million board feet during the month, to 43,381,000 board feet for August, compared to the 46,699p00 board feet ordered in August, 1960.

Outstanding orders for 6,000,000 board feet were wiped off the books, leaving orders for 62,488,000 board feet unfilled at the end of the month, 2,000,000 more than at the end of August, 1960. Stocks on hand rose slightly during the month, but remained below the 1960level. The 11 mills had 392.638.000 board feet on hand at the end of the month.

One Portland, Oregon home builder is building all wood joist floors in his new model homes. He switched from concrete slab floors when women complained they got back and leg pains from walking on concrete all day.

Andy Donovan, Los Angeles representative of the Shevlin Pine Sales Company, reports that a mammoth ponderosa pine, dubbed by Lassen County residents as Peter Lassen's Tree, has been relieved of its vigilance over its namesake's grave. In its place are two monuments erected by the Lassen

Lodge No. 149 of Masons in honor of the man whom that county was named more than l@ years ago.

The Masons removed the ancient pine for the reason that it had been declared a dangerous hazard to those visiting the grave nlonument.

IJpon measuring the pine, it was found to be 16{ feet long with the butt of tree being 27.3 feet in circumference. Lassen's Ponderrosa is believed by the University of Arizona to be the largest and oldest pine of its specie in America.

The retirement of Russell M. Held, Vice President and General Sales Manager of Tamms Industries Company, has been announced. A veteran of the paint industry for over 40 years, Held plans to move with his family to Arizona later this month.

There have been several changes made in the personnel of International Paper Company's Long-Bell Division. Claude Kinchen has been appointed supervisor of product development and cost analysis for millwork.

Walter Schlottach has been named manager of Long-Bell's wholesale distribution warehouse at Amarillo, Texas. Walter Stephan, Jr., becomes manager of the wholesale distribution warehouse at Enid, Oklahoma. James Hall is now acting manager of the wholesale distribution warehouse at Fort Smith. Arkansas.

candle wax from an oak floor. For free copies or information on quantity orders write the National Oak Flooring Nfanufacturers' Association, Dept. C, 814 Sterick Bldg., Menrphis 3, Tenn.

Other new NOFMA booklets available include a revised edition of a 32-page Home Owner's Guide, which contains information on selection, installation, finishing and care of oak floors; Floors for Today's Homes, a l?-page brochure featuring the various styles of oak floors in beautiful full color illustrations; and Tips on Hardwood Flooring, a four-page folder dealing with storage, handling and installation of hardwood flooring.

Harry Stewart, owner of San Ramon Valley Mill & Lumber, Danville, took a week off during early October for a fishing safari up in the Orleans area of the Klamath.

His many friends were delighted to see Charlie Moorehead up and around and enjoying himself at the Valley Frolics with his son and partner \illarren. The Escalon lumber merchant underwent successful surgery for varicose veins last month and enjoyed a speedy recovery.

Wendell Paquette, partner with John Prime in Sawmill Sales Co., cruised the timber situation in northern California and southern Oregon during late September.

Loyalty to the cause. We learn that Dick Reynan, in charge of Fir Milling & Plan-

ing, Ashland, has been a Giants fan since 1931. He saw his first ball game in 1918 and cherishes the days of McGraw. He makes the World Series every year, where he is presently parked. Naturally, the Giants opener at Candlestick Park in San Francisco is a yearly must.

Bob Mosby, assistant general sales manager Diamond National Lumber Co., Red Bluff, California, his wife and family were recent visitors in Southern California. While Bob called on lumber friends the wife and children visited Disneyland, Marineland and other interesting areas, including the beach cities.

Corte Madera lumberman Henry Hulett was not only outweighed, but out-horned by his 14 year old son on a recent deer hunting ,safari. Although they both bagged two bucks each, Henry ruefully admits that his two sorta' looked as if thev'd been on a Metrecal diet!

Diamond National Corporation announced the appointment of Don Winfree as manager of the company's recently remodeled Manteca branch on October 1. Don had formerly been with tfue company's Stockton branch and before that was an outside salesman working out of Diamond National's Walnut Creek yard.

Of important interest to the do-it-yourselfer is ihe ne*s in the guide of a new finish put out by U. S' Plywood that produces a blautiful Danish-type oil finish "handrubbed" effect without the "laborious rubbing normally required."

The gluing section pictures six common joints, with details on how to apply glue ind the necessary pressure. There are helpful hints on light work, load bearing joints and how to achieve waterproof joints.

Data on how to use contact cement, particularly in a special project involving decorative plastic laminates such as Micarta for counter or table tops, rounds out this informative guide.

A copy may be obtained bY writing to Dept. Pi{, U. S. Plywood, 55 West 44th St.. New York 36, New York.

A new lightweight and low-cost steel strapping reel stand, specially designed for small volume users of steel strapping, has been introduced by Stanley Steel Strapping, division of The Stanley Works, New Britain, Conn.

More economical than previous dispensers, the new Model NRE has the same coil capacity up through fi,"x.028 mill wound coils. It is ruggedly made from square steel tubing and weighs up to 10 pounds less than similar reel stands.

Features of the NRE include: a conveniently located strap guide which holds strap ready for each application and an adjustable friction brake which is designed to give smooth, easy, controlled strap feed. Tension on the friction brake bushing may be varied by loosening or tightening a wing nut.

Woodworking Industry Estoblishes

First Porticleboqrd Stqndord

Nationally recognized quality requirements lor Particleboard are described in the 500th Commodity Standard to be adopted by industry and published by the U. S. Department of Commerce, since this Government-industry cooperative program was begun tn 1921, according to the Department's Commodity Standards Division, Office of Technical Services.

Printed copies of this newly established Commercial Standard for Mat-Formed Wood Particleboard for Interior Use, CS236-61, are now available for 10 cents each from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.

The Commodity Standards Division which assistecl the National Particleboard Association in developing the standard, has worked closely with hundreds of industry organizations over the past 40 years in establishing voluntary trade standards for manufactured products through public acceptance by individual organizations. This

DIRECT

service to industry is furnished upon request.

This newest standard became effective for new production June 1, 1961, after having been widely endorsed by many manufacturers, and b)'representative distributors, builders, and architects, as well as by some furniture, plywood, and adhesive manufacturers.

It was developed in cooperation with the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, and covers performance criteria for modulus of rupture and elasticity, internal bond, linear expansion, and screw holding ability. A uniform method of grade marking each panel of Commercial Standard quality particleboard with the symbol "C5236-61," is also provided for the benefit of consumers. A Standing Committee of the industry has been formecl to keep the Standard up-to-date. Mr. Raymond C. Platow, Technical Director, lI. S. Plywood Corporation has been designated as the Chairman. Other producer representatives are Ralph G. Peinecke of Pope and Talbot, Oakridge, Oregon, Robert D. Pauley of Weyerhaeuser Co., Tacorna, Washington, and Richmond Gray of Gray Products Co., Waverly, Va.
