Advertising ls Like Religion An Ediforial "

lUf ERCHANDISING is like religion.

rvr If you once get it, you never lose it.

And if you ever lose it, you never had it.

You can hear and read the merchandising idea from many angles, and based on a multitude of opinions. But the fundamental thought in merchandising is to point out to people interesting and attractive things they can do with your goods, materials, stocks, services or whatever it is you are selling.

There is interest, attraction and excitement in looking over what you have to offer, and using your best wits to

apply it to the other fellow's needs.

Perhaps the highest type of salesmanship is to have a man so thoroughly sold on you and your ability to serve him that he naturally turns in your direction when he needs anything in your line.

And when the other fellow is unconscious of certaiu needs, and you approach him with plans for supplying those needs, you should get the business before it even reaches the stage of competition. It's the old story of the salesman vrho said to his prospect, "Are you going to buy this stuff from me, or am I going to have to sell it to you?"

We have told this one before, but it seems doubly pertinent right now. It was at the close of a .r,vorld's seriei ir-r baseball, and one man remarked: "It wasn't much of a world's series." And his friend replied: "What do you expect? It isn't much of a world."

And everything we r"; .; nJ.. u.i,.,g. home tl-re truth of that caustic observation. The nation we love seemed to be getting along pretty well back in the year 1933, and then an egotistical gent by the name of Roosevelt went out and "recognized" Soviet Russia. And the world has been in deep trouble ever since, and getting steadily worse.

Russia was no more fit to be welcomed into the brotherhood of civilized nations than hell is fit for an ammunition dump. Knowing and believing nothing about the Fatherhood of God or the Brotherhood of man, she began her drive for the taking over of the world by the fear and force of Red Communism. And wherever men love freedonr. she strikes'

,< *

It has been said by philosophers that no Godless nation could ever possibly build a great governmental structure. But the Commies have been doing a frightening job of it. Because of Russia we pay great taxes, we build great armies and armaments. and take our bovs from their homes and put uniforms on them. And because of Russia all over America rve are building so-called shelters where peopie may take refuge, if this anti-Christ decides to strike.

History tells us ,h", I;p";on 1"", once riding to Egypt by ship, and he sat one night on deck while a number of his lieutenants, all of them scientists but unbelievers in religion, offered their agnostic opinions. Finally Napoleon rose to go to his room but before leaving he waved his hand upwards toward the brightly star-lighted sky, and said: "That is all very well, gentlemen, but who made all that?" * * *

If that same question were asked of the Communist bosses, they would probably claim that some Russian made it all' * {< ,<

Once Winston Churchill was talking about history, and he told of the time Ghengis Khan led a great army of Mongols on horseback right into and almost through

Eurole. And, he said, just as they had won great battles and.Europe lay prostrate at his feet, the greal Khan died suddenly. And his mighty army mounted lheir horses and rode back to their homeiand. -

Historians and other thinkers used to warn the Western world against the "Yellow Peril." But today there is not only the Red Communist peril, but there is also the Yellow Communist peril from six hundred million Chinese. And there is still a third peril to the white race, where the great continent of Africa, filled with countless millions of blacks. is boiling over with threats to all those who love peace.

Certainly no historian*o, Jr" ju.t t ." ever dreamed of predicting the situation in which the people of the free world find themselves in today. Here is a fat, savage Russian peasant threatening civilization in such a pronounced fashion that people everywhere are ftlled with fear. And, as this is written, his threats grow ever more ominous.

***

The scientists of the United States created the atom bomb, and its succeeding g'reater bornbs. And, today, armed with such rveapons as bygone ages never dreamed of, evil men employ these mighty weapons of destruction to accomplish their evil designs. And civilized men wonder what to do about it, and how it will all end.

Truly, as the man at the baseball game said-"It isn't much of a world." It is a worried. harassed. fearful world. so far as decent people are concerned. Things may happen for the good, and the cloud may soon lift, but fof the present, free and honorable men stand at bay, faced by threats from mighty groups who are strangers to all things good, and fine, and honorable, and decent.

In the Continental Congress Ben Franklin advised his fellows to turn for help to a high Source; to what Robert Burdetts called the Power "that can make the wrong things right, that can turn weeping into laughter, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, joy of the morning for the woe of the night." I-ooks like the free people of the world could use such helo todav.

Senator Goldwafer Addresses Large NHLA Convenfion

Nearly 1000 members of the National Hardwood Lumber Association heard U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater speak on the second day of their recent 64th Annual Convention held in New York City.

Senator Goldwater told the attending members in his speech "The Challenge to -Freedom" thai he felt too many peoqle-today,regard profit as a word with an evil meaning. He indicated that he thought American businessmen aie falling down on the job of lnforming the public about the importance of business profits and irrged- his listeners to tell the story of the U.S. capitalistic order and to emphasize the fact that the more that manag'emellt earns, thl more everyone makes.

Touching on interr.rational affairs, the Republican Senator claimed that he has no faith in disarmiment but commended President Kennedy for proposing it as he did before the United Nations. "Based on his-iory I have no faith in disarmament," he explained, "there ij always one in the world who won't go along with it."

Six Percent Increose In Spending Nored For Privote Housing Construction

- Spending for construction of private housing in Septem- ber totaled 92.l billion, about six per cent greiter than the year earlier total.

.. Reporting this, the Census Bureau said the figure was "about the normal change between August and Sep-tember,', one per cent less than the revised August estimate.

The value of all new construction put in place in Sep- tember amounted to $5.4 billion, or slightly above the revised estimate for August. A small decrease is normally expected du{ng this period. Spending for total new construction in September tvas five per cent above the year-ago level.

A member of the Federal llome Loan Bank Board says that the construction of apartment buildings is rising b1cause of the increasing scarcity and cost of land in big city areas.

Noting that the F. W. Dodge Corporation reported that c_onstruction of apartment buildings soared 30 per cent durins tht first h-alf of 1961 whilE starts on otli-to-forl.

tions, pointing out that while the U.S. and Canada may uot always agree, both are highly proud of their individual ai111_a_nd backgrounds, and will continue to work together.

NHLA Secretary-Manager Pendleton gave his annual report on the second and last day of the convention. He informed the members that the Inspection Staff had graded 252 million feet of hardwoods during the past year. Inspection claims for the year amounted to $10;131.74, resulting on reinspection of 548,079 feet.

A luncheon was held that afternoon for 55 recent graduates of the Association's Training School. That morning 300 ladies attending the convention enjoyed a breakfast and s_tyle shorv provided for by NHLA and-a large New York department store.

F inal action of the convention was the election of officers and directors for the ensuing year. Those elected were Chas. Bringardner, Lawrence S. Clark, P. M. Dacus, Robert E. Hollowell, Jr., James A. McGraw, Paul D. Plumly, and W. H. Ritter.

Convention social activities included a gigantic reception and party staged by New York members. The NHLA Junior Conference held its annual cocktail party following the close of the convention and later 900 members and guests attended the annual banquet and floor show.

family structures dropped five per cent, Ira Dixon said: "The charrge is easy to explain because of the increasing cost of, and the scarcity of, land in metropolitan areas."

Ward & Harrington's New Garden Grove llome Center Jlas Got lt!

\\ZARD & HARRINGTON Lumber \ff Company in September opened its eighth Orange County retail outlet at 7707 Garden Grove Blvd., Garden Grove. This new llome Center places the expanding chain among' Southern California's largest lumber dealers, according to General Sales Manager Larry Henderson.

It is reported that it is now Orange County's largest retail lumber dealer.

The new store is another step forward in Ward & Harrington's goal of "revolutionizing the lumber business," said Henderson. In addition to all types of lumber, it carries everything for the home from plumbing, hardware and building materials, to anything necessary for the creation of a rock garden.

Future plans call for the addition of a patio furniture shop and a nursery. At present, the store also handles the

complete General E,lectric appliance une.

The grand opening-actually designated as a Six Week Grand Opening Gold Rushreceived intensive pro- motion in the newspapers and by direct mail, featured the offering of many special "Grand Opening bargains" at all of the firm's seven retail vards. and included the offering of $1ZO,OOO ;n gifts and prizes !

Ward & Harrington mailed 40,000 mailers within its trade area, inviting the public to come and see their newest lumberyard and home center and to register for the prizes offered.

First prize was a 12x20 foot patio kit-all materials; second, 100 foot redwood fence; third, paneling for 12x18 foot wall. There were 250 other prizes worth thousands of dollars.

The mailers included six coupons, one good for each week. each coupon

good for a free potted plant. In some plastic pots there were placed markers of shiny metal. The number on the marker indicated which orize the luckv finder had won.

As an indication of the interest shown in the new store and the promotion, almost 10,000 coupolls for free plants were redeemed early during the Grand Opening days.

Ted Schafer, a l5-year veteran of the lumber business, has been named manager of the new Garden Grove unit. He has been associated with the company for five years and was previously assistant manager of Ward & Harrington's Santa Ana store.

Principals of the firm are Gil Ward and Frank Harrington.

Other outlets for the firm are located at Santa Ana, Fullerton, La Habra, Brea, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach.

As you con reodily see, lhe Suparmorkel operalions of Wsrd & Horrington's new retqil outlet in Garden Grove ore plonned fo sell o wide voriety of morchondiso, fhe store carries everything for the home from rock gorden motariols to plumbing, hqrdwore supplies ond building moteriolr, ond cll types of lumler.

The lumber division, making up the eighth facility, is located at Garden Grove and serves as a distribution center for all the firm's yards and for tract orders; between 10 to 11 million feet of lumber is stored here. Two large lumber storage sheds, erected by San Antonio Pole Construction Company, house dry stock and specialty items. We understand another one is to be erected in the near future.

Larry Henderson has stated that future plans call for immediate replacement and expansion of the Laguna Beach outlet, with additional stores slated for next year.

For a look at one of the most complete and modern Home Centers in the Southern California area. why not drive down to Garden Grove r.rd ittspect Ward & Harrington's new store ? We'll bet that, impressed by the attractive, attention-getting displays, almost overwhelmed by the great variety of merchandise offered, ]ou'll grab one of the shopping carts-yes, they have them-and fill 'er uD.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Golfers Find Pqlos Verdes Course Rough

A guide is necessary to find your way into and out of Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club but 53 "rugged" mountaineers participated in the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 tournament Friday, October 20, and,75 hearty lumber-jacks stayed for cocktails and dinner. It is a cinch you couldn't find Palos Verdes with vour eves closed but the boys enjoy the challenge finding'the place and the tough competition after they arrived.

It requires the guts of a hearty sportsman, not a pampered, hitless lvonder to play the various golf courses Joe Petrash and his steering committee have selected for the First Annual 54-hole, three-meet, tournament which got underway at this opening event. It was cold, foggy and r,r'indy-but as usual no rain.

Snark of the Universe, Harvey Koll, who has handled the tournament play for many years, took over the chores again so his able assistant and chairman of the golf committee, Don Gow, could enter the contest. This is the way the top starters finished. Homer Ward, low gross ; 1st flight, Jim Jackson lst low net and Bud Daugherty 2nd low net;2nd flight, John Gordon l-st low net and Harry White 2nd low net. Chub Durnell won the 3rd flight, Fred Smith took home the low guest trophy and Jim Martindale won the low retailer prize.

The second tournament of the 54 holer will be held November 17 at Knollwood Country Club and the final match will take place at California Country Club on I)ecember 15, when the membership will celebrate the annual Christmas Darty at the Whittier location.

It was advertiseh beautiful girls would be on hand to entertain the Black Cats during the evening but instead Lee Kramer, vice president in charge of social activities, came up with exactly the opposite. He introduced Chris Gugas, director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, Holly'ivood, who for the past 18 years has been chasing disl-ronest crooks with his lie-detector all over the country. His experiences have been fantastic and judging from his information "honesty" today is hard to find. In fact. his little machine and the thousands of federal, state, county and city enforcement agents are the only reasons people are honest at all. Mr. Gugas is well informed and not one Hoo-Hoo would like to have him on his trail. He is like the FBI-he always gets his man. It was a most enlightening and entertaining evening.

The cuisine at Palos Verdes is excellent. The steaks were thick and juicy and the lobster was savory and delicious, served in an efficient manner by a crew of fine waiters. Joe Petrash, and his steering committee members, are to be commended for selecting top locations for the 196l-62 schedule and all lIoo-lloo are urged to turn-out for the Knollwood Country Club affair on November l7th.

President Kennedy Submits Progrom For Forest Development to Congress

"A Development Program for the National Forests" was presented to the Congress last month by President Kennedy. This program, expected to cost about $4 billion over the next ten-year period, is a "new frontier" revision of the 1959 National Forest Program which was estimated to cost $2 billion.

The nerv program rvould increase the proposed annual timber harvest in the National Forests from 11 to 13 billion board feet by the year 1972. The major program char-rges since 19.59, however, relate to increased recreational use. I{igher standard road construction will be required for multiple purpose-recreation-resource management.

The program calls for purchase of "key tracts" of recreational lancls and other inholdings-some 7,720,000 acres, 1.5 milliorr of which are to be purchased in the next ten years.

,Who Needs Wood?

Being qn address defivered by S.W. Antoville, Chqirmsn oi the Boord, llnited Stotes Plywood Corporalion, belore an audience of ofmosf 600 members of the Rotary CIub of Los Angeles, who devoted their weekly luncheon, October 13, 1961, to o tribute to Nqfionol Forest Prodvcts Week.

T AST YEAR, in recognition of the l-r growing importance of Forest Products to our economy and way of life, hy proclamation of The President the rveek of October 15th was proclaimed as the first National Forest Products Week which has again by Presidential Proclamation been so designated. I sincerely appreciate the honor of being invited to address this meeting of ILotary and feel it is particularly ap- propriate to discuss this subject of Forest Products here on the West Coast because of the importance of the Forest Products Industries to this area.

To explain the relative importance of the Forest Products Industiv to the cconomy of the West it is neceisary to quote some statistics. The eleven western states, the Province of British Columbia and the new State of Alaska have been defined as the Pacific Slope in which timber is one of its predominant natural resources. It is significant to note that in this territory in rvhich Forest Products plav so - important a part in its eionbmy, the population has increased between 1941 to 1958 from 15.1 million to 27.1 million, or 8O7o, as contrasted with the entire U.S. increase of 30/o and of Canada by a\/o.In the eleven western states personal income has increased between l94l and 1958 from 11.3 billion to 58.8 billion, or 420 per cent, as compared to all of the United States of 286 per cent. Likewise, per capita income of the 11 western states was $2317, according to U.S. Department of Commerce compared with U.S. average of $2057.

The Forest Products fndustry consists primarily of Iumber, pulp and paper and plywood and veneer. The value added by manufacture in the eleven western states in 1954, the latest year for which detailed census data are available, in all industries rvas 11 per cent of the national total. In lumber it was 50 per cent, in pulp and paper 13 per cent and in plywood and veneer 65 per cent.

Right here in California you have rnore than 17 million acres of commercial forest land. More than half of that tremendous acreage is on public land from which standing timber is sold only on a perpetual yield basis. The remainder is owned by ten thousand individuals and indujtries-not iust

the handful of ownerships that some of you may have believed control our Iorests,

More than 100 thousand people are employed directly in the Forest Products industries in your state producing a payroll of over 500 million dollars a year. When you add to that figure the payrolls that add value to the raw materials-by manufacture of millworkdoorsfurniturecabinetsfixttrres, etc., the total payroll approaches the important figure of one and a half billion dollars a year.

It is hard to visualize the volume that is contained in the 17 million acres of California's commercial forest land. According to the American Forest Products Industries. Inc.. it is 360 billior-r board feet of standing timberenough to build 35 million new houses -almost enough to rebuild every dwel- ling in the United States. And this does not include trees less than 11 inches in diameter-the smaller trees are not classified as saw timber. Nor does it put a yardstick on the basic resource-the land itself and its ability to grow repeated forest crops forever.

Wood is the only natural resource known to man that is inexhaustable

To Our Reoders

The publicotion of this excellent oddress by Mr. Anfoville is but our firsl coveroge of lhe mony Notionol Forest Products Week octivities of mid-October.

.;vhen properly managed. None of the mineral and oil resources of the world, from which many of other building materials derive, can be replaced within any practical period of time.

I have cited some of these figures not only to prove the importance of the Forest Products Industries to the economy-but also to indicate that we are not likely to run out of raw material as was predicted rather freely and indiscriminately in the past.

As far back as almost a hundred years ago, dire predictions were being made lhat there would be practically no lurnber industry by this time. Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior, declared in his annual report in 1875 that "Within 2O years the timber would be so far gone as to fall considerably short of our home necessities. One of the more optimistic of the early pessimists was Henry Garret, who, in an article in the October 1900 issue of Forum, estimated that the stand would last about 50 years. And in 1m8, Gifford Pinchot, one of the first and most vocal of the conservationist-alarmists, was proclaiming, "We have in store timber enough for only 2O or 30 years. In the same year, 1908, James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, stated that in less than 30 years all the remaining virgin timber would be cut. In 1922, Mr. Pinchot hedged his earlier prophecy in the foreword to one of the standard books on forestry when he rt'rote: "Our own forest resources are being depleted. Our high grade hardwoods are almost exhausted. The last great bodies of softwoods-those on Pacific Coast-will soon be gone. Lumbermen of this and other countries are thinking seriously of getting timber from the great but little known forests of Asiatic Russia."

Please und.erstancl that in recounting these mistaken predictions, I am not engaging in ridicule. I believe that these alarmists, while failing to remember that the timber supply is augmented by the simple process of tree growth, served a useful purpose in their cries of wolf. in forcing us to more sensible forestry practices without which we certainly would have despoiled a larger amount of the growth of tl-re raw material that sustains these industries which are so important to your econom)r.

12,OOO Dealers Use DFPA Tie-ln Aids

More than 12,000 building supply dealers are taking part in the first nationwide television selling campaign to be sponsored by a segment of the timber products industry.

Douglas Fir Plywood Association has announced that 12,701 dealers have received point of sale material designed to tie in with the DFPA-sponsored David Brinkley's Journal, a new program on the NBC network.

The association announced the avail-

ability of a wide range of sales aids in a mailing to every dealer in the U.S. The response was so overwhelming that DFPA's already extensive mailing department had to add extra employees and extra overtime to get the material into dealers' hands in time for the first program, October 11. Commercials demonstrate plywood's durability and versatility in home building, in the construction of boats and in a wide range of do-it-yourself

projects, as well as industrial applications. Display materials keyed to specific commercials will reach dealers before the commercials are scheduled, along with suggestions on their use.

George Fenneman, who will deliver the plywood industry's sales messages, will tell viervers they can obtain advertised products through their local lumber dealers.

"Our commercials have two purposes," according to DFPA Advertising Director John D. Ritchie.

"First, we are aiming at a better climate of acceptance for plywood by demonstrating the value of DFPA's quality control program. The marginal material reaching the market despite

our efforts, plus unfamiliarity with the growing use of plywood in new applications has made it dififrcult to reach many buyers except through a media such as television.

"Our other purpose is to help the lumber dealer, our best distribution channel, to move his stock. Briefly, we'll be persuading people to buy plywood, and then persuading them to buy through lumber dealers."

Ritchie pointed out that the television campaign is an addition to the industry's overall promotion and is financed with a special fund built up witlr an assessment voted by DFPA members last spring.

The association's total annual adver-

tising budget is about $2.5 million, rvith another $4 million going into other forms of promotion and research.

A leading home manufacturer has warned home buyers again-st high interest "traps" in purchasing the increasingly popular unfinished "shell" homes and also urged builders to recommend "livable" and "finished" models with low prevailing interest rates.

W. Hamilton Crawford, president of Crawford Corpora- tion, Baton Rouge, La., whose ShellCraft subsidiary sells a nine-model line of shell homes in all stages of completion through franchised builders, was a featured speaker-(Sept. 22) at the National Association of Home Builders two-day Regional Conference in Fort Worth.

In the past six years, shell houses have taken over an estimated 8 per cent of the single-family housing market. The fastest growing segment of the building indu-try, with an annual volume of $75 million. shell homes are available in several stages of completion. The "basic" or "unfinished" home is completed on the outside and includes walls, floor and roof ; the livable model includes installed plumbing and heating systems, partitions and interior doors. The finished model is completed throughout.

Crawford told the NAHB builder-members that the present 6 per cent add or interest rate in six-year financing for the basic shell, a common rate in short teim installmeni buying over a several month duration, is inequitable when applied to the housing industry. It is unjust when compared to only Sr/a per cent interest on a 3O-year FHA loan on the purchase of a livable shell model, he declared.

As an example, Crawford cited the case of a shell home purchaser who pays $2,830 for the unfinished or basic model, but then needs $2,275 for materials, excluding labor costs. In order to finance the $5,105 total, the purchaser must pay $130 monthly including the 6 per cent add ott

interest, for a total of principal and interest of nearly $6,800.

In contrast, Crawford said, a livable shell home, including labor and materials, can be purchased for approximate- ly $5,900. These models, he said, include kitchen cabinets, heating, walls sheetrocked, and installed electrical wiring, doors and plumbing. At 5r/4 per ceent interest over 10 years on an FHA loan, total interest would be only $1,697 on monthly payments of $65.

Crawford added that certain livable shell homes, when raised to FHA standards, now qualify for 5rl per cent FHA loans, while the basic shell models do not. Crawford's ShellCraft llomes generally make available a 5 per cent add on interest rate for the basic shell. On this add on type of financing, only kind available for the basic shell, Crawford's 5 per cent rate is the lowest in the industry.

The home manufacturing and home finance firm executive said the nation's builders should urge the FHA to encourage home ownership in this lower priced mass housing market.

Oronge County "Wood Choppers"

The industry has its "Terrible Twenty" group in the Southland, the "Dubs, Ltd." up North, and now joining the ranks is the Orange County "Wood Choppers," a group of lumbermen golfers who get together monthly for an afternoon on one of the nearby courses,

Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana was the scene of their meeting on October 26, when low net and trophy winner Joe Sinnott "chopped" out a net of 60. Low gross honors went to Bill Meredith, Ed Terrell and Joe Petrash, each with 78's.

Others trying their skill were Dick Hoover, Jim Martindale, Leigh McWilliams, Russ Flynn, Russ Hughes, "Mac" McWhorter, Jim Nelson, Cornell Norby, Bob Gaylord and Walt Taylor.

Wood Associotions Form

A new intra-industry technical committee, made up of representatives from the west's three biggest timber industry trade associations, has been formed to handle questions of mutual interest. The announcement was made by John M. Hess, Technical Director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Other associations represented on the committee are West Coast Lumbermen's Association and Western Pine Association.

The committee's first major goal will

Joint Technicol Group

be development of valid basic stress values for all major western wood species. This function has been performed in the past by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory.

FPL has withdrawn from this field and Hess said the associations have agreed that the logical place to handle technical questions on wood strength is through a competent and objective group of industry representatives.

Current stress values will be reevaluated with data being collected in a sampling of more than 50,000 western

trees by the U.S. Forest Service and FPL, Hesse said. The present values were set up in some instances with information gathered from comparatively few trees.

Hess said the FPL has agreed to supply this information, plus any older data that will be oertinent to a reevaluation of wood- strength.

Hess has strongly recommended the closest possible liaison between the committee and FPL. which he described as "the most competent authority in the field."

Each association is represented by executives of three member firms, plus

a technical expert. The technical staff members will gather information to be acted upon by the committee, whose members will consult with the association boards of trustees before final decisions are made, Hess said.

The committee members are: WCLA-Alan Smith, Weyerhaeuser Co.; T. A. Deal, International Paper Co.; W. R. Garnett, St. Paul and Tacoma Division, St. Regis Paper Co., and T. K. M"y, WCLA Technical Director. WPA-J. D. Bronson, Boise Cascades; A. J. Agather, St. Regis Paper Co.; Herbert McKean, Potlatch Forests, Inc., and Carl Rasmussen, WPA Technical Director. DFPAL. A.

Trqde-Tech Student Wins Scholorship

William Berry Leonard, 18, of Burbank. has been awarded a $250 scholarship to help him continue his mill cabinet studies in the Building Trades l)epartment of Los Angeles TradeTechnical College by the Los Angeles Committee for National Forest Prpducts Week, October 15-21.

The scholarship was presented to the Trade-Tech student at a luncheon sponsored by the Los Angeles Com-

mittee for National Forest Products Week at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce banquet room on Monday, October 16.

William is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Leonard, 1135 North Cordova street, Burbank. He graduated from John Burroughs High School last June with a B average in his wooclshop major. During the spring semester, William participated in the construction of the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College model home, built annually for the past five years on the college's campus by students enrolled in the construction trades. He will also assist with the building of this year's model nome.

New Los Alamitos Plant for Big Ben Provides Greatly Increased Production

f| IG BtrN SASH and Door Company, L, in a recent move to a llew location, has greatly expanded its plant and rnill capacities to keep up with Southern California dealers' increasing demands for its products. Site of the new

plant is at 3311 Sausalito Street, I-os Alamitos.

The Big Ben facility covers some 40,000 sqrlare f eet. Among the new buildings are two warehouses constructed by San Antonio Pole Con-

struction Company. For fast and effrcient materials handling, the plant has its own railroad spur which accommodates three cars. The Los Alamitos Iocation in the Greater Los Angeles central industrial district provides easy eccess to all areas.

Owner Ben Slater and his son. Marvin, don't have much time to relax in their modern and comfortable offices. for they are continually on the go in the discharge of their management and production duties. Visitors and the congenial staff, however, can enjoy the pleasant working atmosphere, comfortably air conditioned and attractive with its polished redwood paneling.

Marv Slater explained the reasons for the move as being. "To provide better service to our customers, to combine our mill and manufacturing system at one central location and to increase production capacity."

The new production facilities provide for the manufacturing of a minirnum of 30,000 jambs per month. This figure does not include the capacitv fdr 15.000 door frames, sliding door frames and window frames.

The firm's specialty is the Glidetnaster Pocket sliding door frame arrd u'ardrobe unit. The Slaters have recently added the new line of fringe joint jambs and exterior pine frames.

The new plant has facilities for treating wood by-products with Houston Waterproofing. Ben Slater stated that all production will be treated with the Houston compound within the very [ear tuture.

Rig Beq operates for wholesale distribution only. Delivery is made to the job site for the dealer and also directly to the yard. Fast and efficient service is maintained with six pieces of rolling equipment.

Ben and Marv Slater have been in the lumber industry at all levels from sales to manufacturing since 1944. The firm is one of the recognized pioneers in the wood by-products business rvhich came into being after World War II, to take care of the expanding brrilding needs of the ever-growing Southern California population.

Covering the Southern California territory for Big Ben is sales manager llod Wilson. who has been in the lurnber business since he was "knee high."

Commenting on the expanded facilities, he said, "This will greatly speed up production and service."

An open house is planned for the first of the year so that customers may visit Ben, Marv, Rod, and the other rnembers of the staff. and become ac-

The Fool's Proyer

The royal.feast was done; the King Sotgfrt:some new sport to banish care, And to'his jester said: "Sir Fool, Kneel thou and make for us a prayer."

The jester doffed his cap and bells, And stood the mocking court before, They could not see the bitter smile, Beneath the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head and bent his knee Upon the monarch's silken stool, His pleading voice arose, "Oh Lord Be merciful to me, a fool.

No pity, Lord, could change the heart From red with rvrong to white as wool, The rod must heal the sin, But Lord, be merciful to me, a fool.

"'Tis not by guilt, the onward s\,\'eep Of truth and right, Oh I-ord, we stay,

These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Amid the heart strings of a friend.

"The ill-timed truth we might have kept, Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung, The word we had not sense to sarr. Who knows how grandly it had'rung?

Our faults no tenderness should ask, The chastening stripes must cleanse them all, But for our blunders-oh in shame

Before the eyes of heaven we fall.

"Earth knows no balsam for mistakesMen crown the knave, but scourge the tool That did his will; but Thou, Oh Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool."

The room was hushed, in silence rose The King, and sought his gardens cool, And walked apart, and murmured low, "Be merciful to me. a fool."

Generolly True

Even the most Puritanical man will admit the stories and reminiscenses told by a profligate, are ever so much more interesting than those told by a prude.

Robert Burns

What Raphael is to color, what Mozart is to music, that Burns is to song. With his sweet words, the mother soothes her child, the lover woos his bride, the soldier wins his victory. His biographer says his genius was so overmastering that word of his arrival at the village inn drew farmers from their fields, and at midnight arvakened travelers, who left their beds to listen delighted until morn.

One day this child of poverty and obscurity left his plow behind, and entering the drawingrooms of trdinburgh, met Scotland's most gifted scholars, her noblest lords and ladies. Mid these scholars, statesmen and philosophers he blazed "like a torch among the tapers," showing himself wiser than the scholars, wittier than the humorists, kinglier than the courtiers. And yet, in the very prime of his manhood, Burns lay down to die, a broken-hearted man. He had sinned much, suffered much, and being the victim of his own folly, he was also the victim of ingratitude and misfortune. Bewildered by his debts he seems like an untamed eagle, beating against the bars he cannot break.

The last time he lifted his pen upon the page it was not to give immortal form to some exquisite lyric he had fashioned, but to beg a friend in Edinburgh the loan of ten pounds to save him from the terrors of a debtor's prison. By contrast with the lot of other worthies Robert Burns seems to have been the child of good fortune. In the last analysis the blame is with the poet himself. Not want of good fortune without, but rvant of good guidance within, wrecked his youth. Save Saul alone, history holds no sadder tragedy than that of Burns, who sang "the short and simple annals of the poor."-Nlgwell Dwight Hillis.

Porty llef for Dec. l8

Earle Bender, chairman of this year's Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club 39 Christmas Party, has announced that the annual event will be held at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley on December 18. As in recent years, the party will be for the "big boys" only and will feature an exchange of "presents" after the banquet. Although presents cannot exceed $1.50 in cost, there certainly were some real "gems" handed out last year. It's all in fun, so bring a present . or pay your fine to Santa.

On the serious side of the program, Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club 39 will donate a lump sum to either the California School for the Blind, or the California School for the Deaf and Dumb. A speaker from one of these schools will be on hand to describe how the club's donation was used to bring a little Christmas cheer into the lives of several of the more unfortunate of these handicapped children.

\/ISITORS to the 1961 National Association of }Iome Y Builder's HOMEORAMA in San Bernardino saw many thrilling uses of Union Lumber Company's Redwood. From September 30 through October 15 over one-hundred thousand persons enthusiasticzrlly examined the wide array of. beautiful neu' houses on the HOMEORAMA lot. Union Lumber's Redwood was featured in most of the new houses as wall paneling, wood sundecks and wood fencing material.

Union Lumber Company. in cooperation with its wholesale distributor, Arrourhead Lumber Company, combined efforts with tl,e N.A.H.B. to make the HOMEORAMA a living example of the exciting effects which can be achieved through the uses of redwood. A concerted advertising campaign was conducted prior to the opening of the HON{EO- RAMA by Arrowhead Lumber Company to inform the public that all stock used in the new-home show was available through retail dealers.

On Sunday, October 8, Russell Johnson, president of Union Lumber Companv, and Mark Langham, IJnion's specialty salesman, flew in the company's aircraft from Fort Bragg to San Bernardino to make a personal inspection tour of the HOMEORAMA. They were met at the airport by A. H. Jackson, Southern California sales manager of Union Lumber, George \Ai. Gibson, president of Arrowhead Lumber Company, George Loos, manager of Gibson Lumber Company, and Harry Bleile, representative of Arrowhead Lumber. After leaving the airport, the group traveled by automobile to The Mission Inn in Riverside for an informal luncheon.

Following lunch the motorcade journeyed to the HOMEORAMA site in San Bernardino where they were met by dignitaries from Citation Construction Corporation and Personalized Builders. The first model home visited was the "Fontainbleu," built by Citation Construction. Citation's president, Ed Barnett, vice-president, John Noble and secretary Dennis Martin \,vere present to conduct the visiting lumbermen on a tour showing the home's modern decor and facilities. Russell was especially impressed by the functional and decorational use of Union Lumber's Redwood Paneling in the living room.

The next model home visited was Personalized Builder's

A New Dry Felr ond Mot Forming Process

United States and Canadian Patents have recently been granted to Judd A. Brown of 101 Hilldale Drive, San Anselmo, California, covering a rather simple and unique method of basic mat formation adaotable to multiple applications

Under directional control of alternating "G" forces, organic fibers are arranged into a closely intermeshing relationship. An outstanding feature of the process is the uniformity imparted to the homogeneous mass and the soeed at which it is accomplished. Nlats^ of any thickness from fiactions to multiple inches are possible at same rate of production speed.

Low densities are accomplished without binders for such use as insulation blankets, sound deadening and packaging. With binders and press the density may be increased many times, thus eliminating the necessity of a prepress in the case of manufacture of medium to high density hardboards. It appears from preliminary experiments that the process will lend itself equally well to the shaving and particle board field.

"Futura," a gorgeous structure employing the use of IJnion's Redrvood Fencing and Siding. Frank Tuft, president of Personalized Builders, and host, quickly guided Russell Johnson and his party to the rear of the home in order that they could see the oriental sundeck. It was all wood ! The floors, railings and benches were constructed of Union Lumber's Redwood, allowing the natural grain to show through. Even the backyard fence was built of redwood, which added a spectacular rustic appearance and provided for the utmost in outdoor living.

Many other futuristic new homes were viewed before the sun finally fell over the desert horizon. As the many spectators and the visiting lurnbermen concluded their tours of the HOMEORAMA and started in the direction of their cars they were completely convinced that wood belongs in modern homes because it's beautiful.

The home office of Union Lumber Company, the manufacturer of Satinized Redrn ood Paneling, Redwood Fencing and Siding, is located in San Francisco. Their wholesale distributor, Arrowhead Lumber Company, and their retail customers, Gibson Lumber Company, are located in San Bernardino.

As Mr. Brown points out. this mav be of particular interest to those contemplating greater use of saw mill residue because of the simplicity and versatility of the unit. He states that he plans to make the patent available to firms on a licensed basis. Also, that he has the facilities for laboratory sample production and will cooperat-e with any firm wishing a demonstration.

Georgio-Pqcifi c Selects Midwest

To JVlorkel New Producf

A new Midwest building product, soon to be distributed nationwide by the country's largest plywood maker, is being marketed first in this threestate area through local retail building material and floor covering dealers. It is a new type of laminated, factoryfinished oak flooring only ){-inch thick, yet tough as heavy planks.

Full-scale production has been started at a new factory in Seymour, Ind., under license by Georgia-Pacific Corp., the developer and patent holder.

Called "Georgia-Pacific Fl ex i b I e Oak," the unusual new type of hardwood flooring is made in nine by nine inch tiles and has been extensively

tested for both commercial and residential uses. Application has been simplified with a flew adhesive that works equally well on concrete or plywood subfloors.

Actually flexible, the new oak hardwood flooring permanently covers minor subfloor contours that eventually damage many other materials. The new process also allows quality factory finished oak flooring to be installed as a budget item, he added.

A simplified new one-coat-adhesive system of laying also has been developed by G-P, it was revealed, using a new "double bond" adhesive that is poured directly onto the untiled floor from a self-sealing can with a snap-on handle. Savings in both time and adhesive are claimed for the new method.

Distribution in other parts of the U.S. by Georgia-Pacific fiom the Seymour plant's production will progress area by area during the next few months.

Grove Wholesale Lumber Company Expands Sales and Service

"Although young in years we are long on experience," said Dan Hilton, oreiident of Grove \\'holesale Lumber 'Co*prtty, 411 South Manchester Avenue, Anaheim, recently while reviewing the accomplishments of his two-yearold concern with a staff representative of The California Lumber Merchant. Grove was established just a little more than two years ago to offer the retail lumber dealer special services for special hard-to-get materials and the success of the operation was almost instantaneous, which proved the dealers needed such a procurement organization for hardwoods, softwoods and specialty milling. This the Dan Hilton olganization furnished "with a smile." This "special service" idea paid off in more ways than one. With a small start of just two emPloyees Grove Wholesale Lumber now has a staff of 10. A new large warehouse was completed last month for dry stock storage, irew mobile equipment- has been purchased for the operations department and Grove now has new units of rolling stock on the highways making fast delivery to all Southern California cities and communities.

Al Weitz, well known throughout the southland lumber industry, has joined the firm and has been named to the important post of sales manager and a member of the administrative staff. Al has been calling on dealers and industrials for the past several years and is assisted in the office by his pretty wife Dona. Don Hale covers the southern counties sales territory, iucluding Arizona and Nevada. He is always searching for those hard to obtain items for the dealers and in almost every case comes up with the product, lt .was Salo.

Since its inceotion Grove Wholesale Lumber Complny has enjoyed the services of Barbara Hilton, attractive rvife of founder Dan Hilton. Barbara is in charge of the general office detail and is assisted on various days during the work week by Dona Weitz. These two girls handle the shipping, billing and stenographic duties for both operations and sales.

The administration of the fast growing distributing firm is handled by Darr Hilton who has spent all of his adult life in lumber remauufacturing and sales. He started his career in the re-

manufacturing end of the business and gradually progressed through every phase of production, procuremlnt, ship- ping and sales. His is a well rounded experience and he, and all members of his staff, understand that quality and service go hand in hand.

"We all have a personal concern for tl-re requirements of our customers and we base our future on service to the trade," Dan declared.

Artesiq Door Exponds Stofi

Walter H. Ruth, Jr. heads the procurement division for the Artesia Door Co., Artesia, California. He has been identified in the lumber, plywood and door industry in Southern California since the close of World War II at all levels from production through sales and shipping.

"We are expanding our administrative staff to keep abreast of the demand for our finished products and Walter joined our team early last summer," said Manuel Toraya, president of the door manufacturing concern. "Walt is well known throughout the Pacific Coast area and has ideal foreign and domestic mill connections." he continued.

One Call Does lt All!

,T'Htr RtrCtrNT formation of Califor- I nia Pacific Sales Corp., with offices at 100 California Street, in San Francisco, could rnost easily be summed up irr four simule words-"Diversification but not Duplication."

With the formation of the nerv sales company, duplication of sales efforts by Cal-Pacific Redwood Company and Ostrom Lumber Company have been eliminated. At the same time, customers now may receive "one call" service by merely dialing YUkon 1-8620 -whether their needs be oonderosa pine, white fir, Douglas fir, or incense cedar from the Ostrom mill in Marysville, or old growth redwood from the Cal-Pacific mill at Arcata.

a complete inventory of dry redwood is norv maintained, as well as LCL stocks of ponderosa pine and KD white fir from the Ostrom mill. The com-

all species other than redwood, in his capable hands.

Bill Novak, who formerly ran the C)strom sales from Marvsville. has been named sales coordinaior with the big job of keeping the mighty hum of the Ostrom plant in tune with the San Francisco sales office. Novak will also handle eastern sales from his Marysville offrce.

Recognizing the need for a "beefed up" and consolidated sales force in the face of the industry's fast-changing distribution picture, William J. Pendola, president of the newly formed company, and Ted Deacy, general manager and executive vice-president, moved fast.

Their first move was the establishment of a distribution yard at 7125 Telegraph Road in Los Angeles, where

pany formerly operated an office at Long Beach, strictly a direct mill setup. Bob Halbert, former manager of the Long Beach office, continues on as manager of the new distribution yard. He is ably assisted by Burt Goebel and Bob Goetze, both of whom recently joined the firm at that point.

Back in San Francisco, and shortly after the opening of the new Los Angeles distribution plant, things began to hum at the newly completed Bethlehem Steel Building at 100 California Street. California Pacific Sales Corp. Ieased a suite of nelv offices there and began moving all accounting and sales personnel under one roof.

Former Trinity River Lumber Co. sales exec., Bud Byard, joined the new orqanization as its Bay Area and Coast Cjou-nties representative. Bud was very shortly follciwed by John Lowe, former manager of mill sales for Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Inc., at Newark. The fir and pine department, encompassing

Although Pendola will continue to live in Marysville where he also guides Ostrom Lumber Company, Deacy recently moved down from Arcata and has now become a regular commuter to the City from his ne'ivly purchased home on the Tiburon Peninsula.

F'rank Billings, assistant sales manager, and Hugo Miller, manager of the redrvood department, had the easiest move of all. They merely called the mover to their old Columbus Tower office and made a short jaunt across town to California Pacific's new offrces.

With the addition last month of Bruce Ball to its California sales force, California Pacific is ready to roll. Ball.

"The reasoning behind our new setup is to provide our customers all the advantages of specialized purchasing --backed up by our own production," Deacv points out.

Production of Cal-Pacific Redwood Co. is 35 million bf. of redwood annually; Ostrom Lumber produces 25 million bf. annually of kiln dried white fir dimension and decking, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and incense cedar.

The same Globe Coating and Fireproofing, Inc., coatings and fireproofing presently used as heat protection for the launching pads of military and NASA rocket and missile ramps are no\',/ available to commercial businesses.

These coatings and fireproofings were developed and testecl as pa;:t of the (lovernment's rocket program. The resultant iuccess of these materials prompted the Globe laboratory test program to develop formulated products that the commercial businessman could afford.

Colifornio Door R.eports Retoiler llems Moving Well

When we have beetr able to be of assistance to a firm, through news promotion and advertising, in the merchandising of new products, we like to follow through and find out the results.

-Thus, werecently stopped by to see Art Parkins, manager of The California Door Company of Los Angeles, to inquire as to how distribution of their new line, Houston Waterproofing Preservatives, was proceeding.

Art reports that the products are doing well, and have great appeal for the do-it-yourself trade, as well as industrial users, wherever preservatives are needed.

The two items in increasing demand are Houston No. 2 for Masonry, and }fouston No. 3 for Wood. Their basic function is to penetrate the material in such a manner as to carry into its very substance, active solids to the amount of.92/o. Upon penetration these solids react so as to become a .hard, integral, permanent part of the wood or masonry. I-ighter than water, the Houston Waterproofing Preservitives work in an expanding fashion, up and inlo the materials being treated. Only ln this manner can true waterproofing preservative conditions be achieved.

llouston products accomplish this in one simple application ; they can be used at any time before, during oi-after construction; easy to use, they can be applied by brush, spray, roller or dip.

Cal-Door's Art Parkins reports that there is good demand for their hardwood plywoods and pre-finished hardwood plywoods, along with Douglas fir interior and exterior plywoods.

"You've got to work for business these days," Art observes, "but when you have products of proven value and sales appeal, and when you offer the highest quality of service, you can find good business. At least, that's how we find it works at Cal-Door."

To learn more about Cal-Door's fast-moving items, whether it be in plywoods, Houston Waterproofing Preservatives, doors of many varieties, or any one of ttre numerous other products, give them a call in Los Angeles at LUdlow 8-2141.

The R.efort Counteous?

When the history of famous retorts is written-and what a wonderful book that would be-high on the list should be ranked the remark of a famous Frenchman to a still more famous Frenchwoman. The woman was the scintillating and much-loved George Sand. The man was one of her great loves-Jules Sandeau.

The love of Jules was growing cold, and one day she charged him with infidelity. Calmly and briefly he admitted the charge. She struck a tragic attitude, and in a voice filled with emotion, she exclaimed:

"Sir, my heart is a grave !"

"A grave, Madam," replied the suave Frenchman; "it's a cemetery !"

Home Modernizing Institwe

Esrobl,ished

in Ancrheim

To meet the growing need for trained personnel in the home modernization field, the American Home Modernizing Institute in Anaheim, California, is offering to qualified applicants, intensive courses of training in the practical, day-to-day operation of a home modernizing business.

Every important facet of the internal operation of a home modernizing business has been worked into this training program. It offers the trainee an opportunity to profit from the experience of others . . . to find out, through practical as well as theoretical training, the way to operate a home modernizing business efficiently and profitably.

"ft is apparent that too many people in the home modernization field are not reaping the full benefit from their work and effort." said Rod Dye of Nelson-Dye Construction. a director of the American Home Modernizing Institute and a successful home improvement contractor. "They are doing business in a'trial and error'fashion and lack the technical and practical knowledge that can mean the difference between success and failure."

"We, at the American lfome Modernizing Institute, believe in the future and growth of this industry. We're willing to provide the knowledge and training that has meant success and profit for us, to others. Our experience can save the newcomer to the home improvement field a lot of headaches and can be the difference between their making a profit or taking a loss," Roy Dye concluded.

The American llome Modernizing Institute offers training courses for the executive, salesman, designer, estimator, job superintendent and bookkeeper. For further information, write to the American Home Modernizing Institute, 280 North Wilshire Avenue. Anaheim. California.

Friend & Terry's Ghqrlie Shepord Gelebrotes Golden Anniversory

Charles L. Shepard-better known as just plain "Charlie" to his host of friends in northern California-celebrated his fiftieth year of service with Friend & Terry Lumber Co., Sacramento, on November 6, 196I. A remarkable Jeat in this day and age, Charlie joined Friend & Terry in 1911, working under hi.l dad, the late L. G. Shepard, who managed the yard until ill health forced him to retire during t927.

Following his dad's retirement Charlie's brother, the late Jo Shepard, took over as manager of the yard and two years later, during 1923, Charlie was named Secretary-Treasurer of the firm. During 1939, Jo Shepard left to start his own business in the East Bay and Charlie has managed the venerable concern since that date.

Besides 50 years of ardent devotion to the affairs of Friend & Terry Lumber Co., Charlie Shepard has devoted considerable time to the general rvelfare and betterment of the lumber industry. The first president of Sacramento Hoo-Hoo'Club 109, Charlie is also a past president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California.

On the fun side of the ledger, Shepard is an ardent horseman and a recognized expert in handling multiple

hitches. Charlie has driven stage coaches and other oldtime vehicles in parades and celebrations over much of California and Oregon, and he's well known throughout the Pacific Coast for his ability as a six-horse hitch expert.

Incidentally, that firm Charlie's been with for 50 years is not exactly a youngster in the lumber game either. Friend & Terry Lumber Co. will celebrate its l09th birthday this coming

January. Originally established as a shipbuilding company by Captain A. M. Simpson during 1851, the concern was renamed Friend & Terry Lumber Co. during 1853, when Captain Simpson turned over a minority interest and the key to the front door to Joseph S. Friend and W. E. Terry.

Although records have long since lost track of the Friend family tree. descendants of Terry remained with the company many years, Jo E. Terry, a son, continuing as manager after the firm was incorporated in 1879. After years of playing the seven seas, Captain Simpson returned to Sacramento in 1894, and took over the presidency of Friend & Terry. A few years later, during l%2 to be exact, Charlie's dad, L. G. Shepard was elevated to managership of the firm, continuing in that capacity until he retired in 1921.

And, come to think of it, that's where we started this little oiece. wasn't it?

Redwood Empire Hoo-Hoo Stoges NFPW Promotion

Redwood Empire Hoo-Hoo Club 65 and Hoo-Hoo International gained six new members on Friday, October 13, when Club 65 staged its Annual Concat at the Saddle N'Sirloin in Santa Rosa.

Lumber Co.; Fred Roemer, Tamalpais Lumber Co.; Stub Scheer, Scheer Lumber Co.; Jim Jones, Foster Lumber Yard; and Frank Klienz, Foster Lumber Yard.

Appropriately held on Black Friday the l3th. the Concat led off the club's participation in National Forest Products Week, October 15-21. Borrowing a clever gimmick often used by the Armed Forces during WWII, Pete Sharp, Duane Bennett and Elmer McDade contacted all the lumber and building material firms operating within the iurisdiction of the club and arranged- to have $20.00 of each employees' salary paid in two dollar bills. The result lvas instantaneous. As at

least the pocket money each person took home was in $2.00 bills, it was not long before merchants in the area were asking each other where the heck all the two-dollar bills were coming from . . . apd why? Next, the local press picked up the two-dollar bill story and the resulting publicity capped a very successful NFPW promotion at a local club level.

The next event on the calendar of Redwood Empire Hoo-Hoo Club 65 will be its Annual Ladies Night Dinner Dance. Bill Chenoweth has been named chairman of this event and the date has tentatively been set for December 2. Further details coming in the very near future.

Who Needs Wood?

(Continued, from Page 70)

Another important development, which has increased the value and the yields of our timber, has been the integration of forest products industries. As recently as 7929, when I first visited the plywood factories of Europe, I was particularly interested in noting the rlifference between the situation in a little country like Finland, which depends upon lumber for its economy, and the United States. In our corlntry, at that time, our plywood plants were separate and isolated entities of their own. A sawmill was a separate activity and invariably was adjacent to a larger burner which kept glowing aronnd the clock, usually burning as much fiber content as was actually converted into the lumber at the sarvmill. This, for decades, was a blight and economic waste which many years ago hacl been eliminatecl in t1.re Scanrlinavian corlntries.

In Finland, in most cases, the plywood plant I visited \\ras a part of a large operating complex which includecl a sawmill, a hardboard or insulation board plant, a pulp and paper mill and, even at times, a distillery where alcohol was produced from wooh

lvaste and made into an interesting and potent libation called Schnepps.

Egon Glesinger, Chief of the Forest Products Branch of the IN's Food and Agriculture Organization, wrote several years ago that with proper forest management and greater integration of the forest products industries, billions of tons of additional goods would be derived everv vear from- the world's forests anrl tl.rat- this will make the difference between past centuries of privation and the rlew era of plenty for all peoples and corrtiuents.

In the past 10 years, we have seen a most important exantple of this type of integration in our owr-r forest products industries here on the \A'est Coast rvhere large nationally-known lumber organizations have expanded into plywood, hardboards, particle boards and paper and large nationally known paper orgalrizations have likewise extencled their activities into lumber ancl plywoocl. This is t1.re result of the realization of the increasir.rg valtie ancl irnportance of the highest utilization of the forest resources and is in keeoing vrith the philosophy of efficieniy which is demonstrated by the slaughterhouse which utilizes in so many different ways the various parts of the animal.

llowever, while we no longer are worried too greatly about the elimination of the forest as a result of the more intelligent use of it, which in many cases is provided by law, but in most cases is the result of self-interest and the desire for perpetuating these industries on their own part, there have been other attacks made in the market olace which would.,if unchallenged attd ,u..er.ful, eliminate a great deal of the importance of the forest products industries.

I am referring to the encroachments rvhich are being made on our markets by the plastics and the metals which have captured the imagination o! designers, consumers and particularly editors of Sunday Magazine Supplements. In many cases, a great deal of the ground which has been lost to some of these other products has not been because of the sirperior. intrinsic quality or value of these materials but rather because of greater promotior-r and sales effort, greater research and to a certain extent a spirit of inertia or defeatism that had permeated certain segments of the lumber industry.

One of the difficulties is that wood is something r,ve have had for ages. It is old hat; it is commonplace ; it is familiar and we too often take it for granted that you, the public, are aware of its good qualities. But, the public is being told, largely by inuendo and srrbtle but effective propaganda, of the weakness of wood and we, in the industry, up until recently, have not been doins enough to defend our heritage.

I am not suggesting that just because we happen to be in the lumber or wood rrroducts industries that all things made of wood are superior to Droducts made of other materials. Our oroducts must have merit and iustify iheir use and if thev do not. #e ar-e wasting our time in-a hopeless cause. Wood has limitations and may never become the perfect material from an engineering point of view. That is, a material that is non-inflammable, impervious to heat, moisture, moldable into any shape or size, easily workable, hard as diamonds and with the bounce of rubber. But, as man learns through research to improve on nature, wood, which to begin with has a number of excellent characteristics, has a better chance of coming close to the perfect material than anything I can think of.

USG Duslgord Filters Gonluin Hexschlorophsne ro Fight Germs

Hexachlorophane, the much publicized germ fighter in toothpastes, is also fighting germs in the air. United States Gypsum Company's Dustgard filters, used extensively in furnaces and air conditioners, now contain hexachlorophane compound to fight germs for both cleaner and more healthful filtered air. The compound is applied to every filter in the new blue Dustgard filter core.

Made of closely interwoven continuous glass fibers, the new hexachlorophane treated fibers combine high dust-holding capacity with free air flow. All Dustgard air filters are designed to trap and hold dust throughout the filter core. Sturdy frames and a perforated metal face plate hold the core firmly in place.

California Lumber Merchant

Dear Ole:

Several summers ago when I was much younger I had two college students working for me in the lumber yard at 2131 N. Highland Avenue, Hollywood. One bright summer day one of them came running to me yell- ing that the other had walked backwards off a lumber oile. I immediately tore to the other end of the yard, and there lay this Stanford student. The messenger was my own brother, Walt, a Kansas University student, now a CPA in Kansas Citv. and on the ground lay (out oi breath) that prominent San Marino lum berman, Robert Hoover.

This all happened back around 1937 or 1938, and I have nor-, shall we say? retired, but would still love to have any old or young lumberman stop and see me at 3778 Rosecrans, San Diego, cY 8-2715.

By the way, please send me the Merchant at above address and bill me.-Bob Sutton.

One of the pleasures of this business i.s in hearing from such. fine people as Bob Sutton. And in regard. to Bob Hooaet/s bacbing off the lumber pile, we are sure that zsas the first and last time he has hod such a Tall!-Editor.

Jack Dionne, Publisher California Lumber Merchant

Dear Jack:

On behalf of the Los Angeles Committee for National Forest Products Week we wish to express our most sincere appreciation for the magnificent coopera- tion and generosity which has been extended to us by Don Dick, Ole May and Less Foor.

The California Lumber Merchant's out-of-pocket contribution and promotional punch was greater than any other single unit in preparation for and during the Week's activities.

The Committee believes that their promotional accomplishments this year are far ahead of last year's efforts and these accomplishments were due largely to your magazine's wonderful support.-Wayne F. Mullin, Cochairman, James H. Forgie, Cochairman, Los Angeles Committee, National Forest Products Week.

Los Angeles Committee

Dear Mr. Essley:

We at Los Angeles TradeTechnical College, the administration, faculty, students and es-

pecially William Berry Leonard -recipient of the National Forest Products Week Scholarship- extend our sincere appreciation to the Committee for its generous contribution to our scholarship program.

The Committee's gift of a $250 scholarshi,p to the Building Trades Department of the college has made it possible for such a deserving student as William Berry Leonard to seek his education free of the pressing financial responsibility that many students face in their quest for higher education. We are most proud and happy that the Committee selected our college as the recipient of this generous gift, and we hope that your interest in our educational institution will continue for many years to come.

The student representatives from the Building Trades and Drafting Departments and I would also like to thank the Committee for the warm reception extended to us at the National Forest Products Week luncheon. We all felt very honored to have been invited to attend the luncheon and have the opportunity to meet the representatives of the lumber industrv.

Again, on behalf of everyone at tl-re college, we would like to express our appreciation to you and the members of the Los Angeles Committee for selecting a Building Trades Department student as the recipient of the National Forest Products Week Scholarship; and we extend best rvishes to you and the group for con t in ue d success-Dwight Adams, Dean, Los Angeles Trade-Technical College.

The California Lunrber Merchant is plcased to publish the aboae letter in the interests of the ind.ustry.

New Sacramento Warehouse of Georgia-Pacific Assures Fast Delivery to Wide Area

Dealers and customers of GeorgiaPacific Corporation in the Greater Sacramento area now have a convenient, new source of supply in G-P's brandnew 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse at 320 Commerce Circle. North Sacramento. Managed by Max Thomas, the new warehouse is under the general super- vision of E. L. "Rif" Rifenrath of G-P's Oakland warehouse.

The modern new Sacramento installation is fully sprinklered and was designed by architect Sooky Lee of Sacramento. The builder was Peterson & Associates, also of Sacramento.

Occupying some 80,000 sq. ft. of property just a block off the Roseville Freeway, the warehouse is of clear span design and the yard is completely black-topped. A sunken fivecar spur and roof over the unloading area provides all-weather unloading, including protection from the blistering Valley sun during the Summer months. Customer loading area is more than adequate to assure easy access and fast loading. Modern handling methods for materials and a product display room featuring the full line of G-P products completes the picture of Georgia-Pacific's newest California warehouse.

Who Needs Wood?

(Continued from Page 38) should stand its ground and not yield to substitutes. This is more easily said than done. The truth of the matter is that the larger manufacturers of light metals and chemicals have so enlarged their productive capacities that they are spending huge iums in re.e"r.h, in advertising, in product development, to irrtroduce their products, particularly in the building field, where marly segments of the wood products industries are being threatened. Unfortunately, most of the large companies, such as the aluminum, chemical and steel industries, look upon these new potential markets as plus markets and they can afford and do spend sums far in excess of their potential profits in these particular items or certainly more than most of the companies engaged in the manufacture of millwork, doors, windows, siding, sheating, insulation, to name only a few markets that are being threatened.

IJntil recently, very little was being done to combat the inroads that materials comoetitive to wood were making. A few of the larger companies manufacturing lumber, plywood, flooring, do spend fairly substantial sums on research and product development, on advertising, particularly ir.r the shelter magazines and occasionally in the

mass consumer magazines but only a few.

But, no one in our industry does a r.rational job on any sustained basis on tl.rat most important medium-Tv. By contrast, all of the larger aluminurn companies have had sustained programs on TV which go to audiences of many rnillions and cost accordingly. \'Vhat clo they airn at in their commercials? Usually those markets now being served by'ivood, particularly siding ancl boats.

I am proud, as a member of the ply.,r'ood irrdustry and as a supporting member of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. to tell vou that that Association is sponsoring a weekly television program-"The David Brinkley Journaf"-;1nd that the first 26 weekly programs rvas initiated just tlvo evenings ago. This is a national hook-up lvhich for the first time in the historv of any wood products industries, the merits and attributes of wood products are being effectively presented to the public in this expensive and effective medium. Dial Channel 4 on Mrednesdays at 10:30.

About two and one half years ago, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association embarked on a progranl called-"The National Wood Promotion Program"-which is receiving increased support among all of the segments of the industry and rvhich

promises a gratifying expansion in the acceptance and use of lumber and wood products. While stressing the value of rvood in the building field-other fields, such as furniture, have also been covered in this intelligent and well-planned campaign with an annual budget of approximately 2 million dollars.

Who needs wood, gentlemen?

Everyone-r,r'ith its supply assured -and a vigorous, promotion-minded hard selling group of industries to tell America of its values, everyone shall have it, in whatever forms it can best serve mankind.

3O Chonges in Electric Stroddle Trucks

A new "clean" look and more than 30 engineering changes are incorporated in The Raymond Corporation's current line of #2@0 and #3000 capacity electric straddle trucks.

Restyled, with open masts, the new models feature full "picture window" visibility. At the same tirne the overall weight of the uprights has been reduced l0/o to lessen the dead weight load of the truck to increase its efficiency and lighten the drain on the battery.

The new models continue to feature narrow aisle operation and will operate in aisles as narrow as 6 feet. The design allows easy access to all working parts to lacilitate maintenance and repair operations.

Full information on the new models is provided in Bulletin #833. Write to The Rayrnond Corporation, 76-190 Madison St., Green, N. Y., for your copy.

PALCO Plans Marketing of New Redwood Bark Product

The Pacific Lumber Company has announced plans to market a totally new redwood bark product for use in playgrounds and recreation areas and parks. The product is specially processed redwood bark, which achieves an unusually permanent, resilient and shock resistant ground cover requiring minimum maintenance.

Initial applications of the new redwood bark product in playground and recreation areas in San Francisco and Oakland have resulted in encouraging prospects for broad use of the material as a soft, springy, shock absorbing ground cover under apparatus, on walk ways and in play areas. The redwood bark's inherent physical characteristics make it far superior to previously used granular barks. When used in play and traffic areas, redwood bark does not kick around like granular barks. Because its fibrous texture forms all almost continuous mat, it does not blow away-a problem common where sand is used.

Redwood bark offers important advantages when used in landscaping. As a mulch, it helps retain moisture, reducing costs for watering, and helps

to assure successful growth even in areas with dif6cult access for maintenance. Decorativelv. redwood bark offers arr exciting cblor and texture that harmonizes with plantings, achieves a pleasing effect even in newly landscaped areas. In parks, along divided roads and streets, and in containers, redwood bark offers proven utility as a means for altering soil-airlvater relationships, lowering soil bulk density and improving friability.

Cost of the new material is reported to be "competitive with conventional bark products," with an average 4 inch deep installation running about 8 cents per square foot. Because of the storage, handling and working convenience of tightly compressed bale packaging, the redwood bark helps keep initial costs low. Actual placing on the job is done with simple hand tools, precluding the costly use of heavier ecluiprnent required for handling bulk competitive products.

Other features of The Pacific Lumber Company's new redwood bark are its inherent ruggedness and durability. The bark does not become water logged and soggy in rainstorms, it dries

quickly when wet, and is impervious tb rot and decay. Because of its natural resiliency and fibrous characteristics, redwood bark will not become compacted and lose its spring and softness. It does not leach out and will not stain hands or clothing. It is odorless when wet or ory.

The redwood bark is available commercially in tightly compressed bales weighing approximately 105 pounds. At a 4 inch thickness, coverage per bale is approximately 48 square feet. It will also be packaged in bags containing 3 cubic feet.

For information on availability, write The Pacific Lumber Company, By-Products Division, 100 Bush Street, San Francisco 4, California.

L.A. Trode-Tech Students Begin Gonstruclion on Model Home

Construction is now under way on the student-built Los Angeles 'frade-Technical College Model Home f.or 1962, it lvas annollnced this week by officials of the college.

Scheduled for comoletion earlv next vear. the model is being built on the cimpus, 400 W. Washingion Blvd., by students of the building project classes.

Conceivecl under the Balanced Power concept, the fifth annual Trade-Tech home will reflect the best utilization of both modern natural gas and electricity, guaranteeing that each household task will be done by the energy source that handles it most efficiently, most conveniently and at lowest cost.

School officials noted that this will be the largest TradeTech hotrse to date, covering 1,497 square feet of space. It will include three bedrooms, two baths, a combination dining and entry area, living room, all-gas built-in kitchen, and an all-purpose family room.

One unique feature of this year's dwelling is the separation of the living room from the rest of the house by means of a floating deck floor in the combination dining-entry room and a lattice work screen that will shield the diningentry and living rooms from rest of the house.

A pool running partially underneath the deck and a skylight overhead will give the entry-dining area a feeling of coolness and spaciousness, while still maintaining the indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Still another feature, a sheet metal free-form fireplace in the living room, combines with
