NRLDA Board Changes Association Name and Expands Educational Programs

Working ttovertime sessions." the Board of Directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association approved a comprehensive merchandising program for dealers in the home and property improvement business, expanded the HAPI program to include a course on kitchen remodeling, went forward with a general education program for all dealers, and finally changed the name of the association to more accurately reflect the character of its members.

Other action taken by the Board, meeting in 'Chicago on October ISth and 19th, was the election of new officers for 1963. The following officers were elected unanimously: Leslie G. Everitt, president, Fort Collins, Colorado; William T. Spencer, first vice president, Gastonia, North Carolina; Robert Lloyd, second vice president, Mankato, Minnesota; Robert J. McCutchan, treasurer, Lebanon, Indiana; Thomas T. Sneddon, executive vice president, Washington, D.C.; H. R. Northup, senior vice president, W'ashington, D.C.; and Edward H. Libbey, secretary, Washington, D.C.

The new name for the association is the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association. The name was suggested by a committee of dealers under the chairmanship of Paul V. DeVille, Canton, Ohio, a past-president of the Association. Mr. DeVille explained that the addition of the words "building material" was necessary because almost every dealer in the country now supplies practically all materials used in light construction and only a few continue to operate yards in the historic sense.

Setting the stage for the Board's long sessions, President William L. Johnson acknowledged that the lumber and building materials industry is faced with many problems, solutions to which could best be found through trade association action.

ooln our lumber and building materials industry, the various elements have many problems in common, and in the retail dealer segment individual dealers have common problems; and it seems to me our trade associations provide the most efiective means of finding sound, broad solutions which can be applied in individual businesses to the ,benefit of not only that individual, but to whole communities and areas, to the industry and to the public as well.

"During this year I have been privileged

to sit in with groups of lumber dealers at several meetings of state and regional associations and to see this American System in action," Mr. Johnson said.

"I have observed that business problems vary in difierent localities and under different conditions and influences; but in every one of these meetings I saw in these businessmen a willingness to share their experiences and ideas with their competitors, and to receive as compensation the ideas of others which they might take home and put to work in their own business.

ooEverywhere I have gone, and with the lumbermen I have visited, I have been impressed with the evident desire and determination to do a better job and to continually improve their service to the public," he added.

One of the major problems faced by the Board was the proposal of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association to simplify lumber grades and sizes. The Board heard a detailed explanation of the proposal from G. F. Prange, vice president, Technical Services, NLMA, following which Albert Boisfontaine. of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, and Evans Wyckofi, Seaboard Lumber Company, Seattle, stated their objections to the NLMA plan.

Broadly speaking, the controversy is one between regional factions which will eventually be resolved by the American Lumber Standards Committee, or the factions themselves. After long deliberation, the Board decided that the majority of retail lumber dealers have not yet been given enough

information on the NLMA proposal to reach an intelligent decision. Therefore, the Board instructed C. T. Hubbell, chairman of the NRLDA Standards Committee, and the dealer repres€ntative on'the ALS Committee, to vote a "qualified no" when that committee considers the proposal on Novem,ber 8.

The Board then directed the NRLDA stafi to develop material outlining both sides of the argument for immediate dissemination to all members.

Paul R. Ely, chairman of the Market Development Committee, made a complete report on the development of the HAPI program and announced that in addition to the regular five-day HAPI course on remodeling for yard owners and managers, and the two-day course for salesmeno there would now be a three-day course on the specialized subject of kitchen remodeling. Like the other courses, the new training program on kitchen remodeling will be held in various parts of the country so that dealers in all areas will have an opportunity to attend themselves or send their employees at a minimum cost for travel.

E. F. Al Walsh outlined a broad HAPI merchandising program for 1963. The program, which he described as the most comprehensive ever ofiered in the retail building materials industry, contains some 2l difierent sales tools, ranging from a 350piece display kit prepared four times a year to group business meetings where dealers can gather and exchange ideas, compare sales promotion results, and discuss future sales eventso as outlined by Mr. Walsh.

The program will be ofiered through wholesalers, who will share the cost, rather than directly to dealers. The overall merchandising program will be a joint efiort on the part of manufacturers, wholesalers and dealers.

Mr. Ely also reported that while the Market Development Committee will continue with this development of the remodeling market, it will also work to stimulate dealer business in the new homes market.

In a progress report on the Association's work with Purdue University to establish an education program for dealers, President Johnson said the program was very near reality. A Founders group has been established to provide funds for the initial organization of the courses. Purdue Univer(Continu,ed on Page 22)

Chemicol Brenkthrough in Fire Retordont Repoiled

A new chemical breakthrough has been achieved which makes it possible to render wood shingles and other materials fire resistant and which ig expected to result in new standards for fire ordinances as well as meet long-time demands of architectg building contractors and roofers.

Manufactured in Los Angeles by the Flame-X-Control Corp. the new product is a chemical emulsion which renders wood shingles and other materials fire retardant on a virtually permanent basis with only one spraying application.

"The major importance of Flame-X-Control is that it is now possible to prevent future fire disasters, such as last year's in Bel Air, California which resulted in 513 homes being destroyed at a loss of $24,000,000," Howard Sosbee, company general manager, points out.

The majority of the homes wiped out in this disaster as well as other recent hillside and forest fires were ignited, according to fire department officials, by flying brands, which would be harmless against treated roofs.

Developed by O. T. Hodnefield of Montroseo California, long regarded as the dean on the subject of fire retardant chemicals, the Flame-X material has undergone more than 20 years of extensive testing and research and passed all with flying colors. Typical of the reports was that by the Underwriters Laboratories which noted the o'efiectiveness of the treatment is verv defiinite and uniform".

"While the product has had successful commeicial, industrial and military application in the past, it was never produced in quantity to supply the great masses of home owners and residential building contractors, especially those seeking such a product for hillside and forest areas," Sosbee points out. "However, netv production methods now make it possible to mass produce the chemical with exacting quality control and make it available to all."

Durability of Flame-X was additionally confirmed in most recent tests conducted on shingles treated 17 years ago and exposed continuously to the harsh climate in the San Gorgonio Mountain area of Southern California. After these tests, including one using a blow torch, the shingles were found to be still fire resistant, it was noted by test officials.

In addition to its flame resistant qualities, the chemical is also water and insect repellent and preserves the natural appearance of wood shingles.

Sosbee noted that application cost for an average size home would be about $200, less than half the cost of short-lived painttype materials, and all Flame-X applications come with the manufacturer's lO-year guarantee.

'A variation of the formula has also been sprayed in areas to serve as a firebreak. In these tests, flames were unable to penetrate beyond the Flame-X lined fire-break. This will permit controlling the fire hazard of brush and grass without expensive clearing of hillsides and exposing homes to the equally dangerous hazard of mud slides.

The chemical is also efiective as an air drop in fighting fireg is less costly than the presently used borate, is not poisonous to the soil and does not corrode machinery,

Test results and other information are available from Flame-XControl offices 24M Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles 57, California, telephone DUnkirk l-I331.

Many women complain that deck boards are spaced too far apart allowing their heels to catch in the cracks. Ideal spacing is to place an ordinary metal washer between the boards. This gives about an eighth inch spacing, which is adequate for water drainage.

Because he is located at the back door of several sawmills, Parsons has geared his business not to rhe volume builders, but to the area's ctrstom builders, remodeling contractors an.!, of course, the "weekenJ

This was just another of a series of remodelins and expansion moves sinee Parsons bought the sparsely developed property from Valley Lumber Yard on Jufy l, 1950.

Along with a few other West Coast lumber concerns, rve celebrate our 40th year of doing business this year. Parsons, too, celebrates this 40th year in the retail lumber game this year. He ioined Diamond National (then Diamond Nlatch) in 1922, and was manager of the company's Walnut

Creek branch when he left to join Harry Stewart, owner of Sen Ramon Valley Mill & Lumber Co. in Danville, during 1945. Parsons remained with Stewart until 1950, when he purchased this yard from Valley Lumber.

Unlike many medium-size operations of this t1pe, Parsons Lumber is practically a family operatiorr. Other than two employees, Vern's stafi is all family-his two sons Don and Bob, and Victoria, his longtime partner in that wonderful business of marriage. All a,.re equal owners in the family corporation. Together, this is a team that personnel rnen dream about. This is a winning team-and Parsons Lumber & Hardware is thcre to prove it to one and all.

Williom Dost Joins UC Stoff

William A. Dost, research manager for the California Redwood Association, joined the Uniyersity of California Agricultural Extension Service staff September I as extension forest products specialist, Extension Director George B. Alcorn said Dost's work will be centered around aetivities of the University's Forest Products Laboratory at Richmond. The new extension specialist will work with primary wood products manufacturers, includinq producers of plywood, hardboard, ".rI veneers as well as lumber. and also with manufacturers of millwork, furniture, cabinets, and other suppliers of the building industry. He will study problems of these producers and speed results of University research from the Richmond laboratory to the industry.

The appointment follows a recommendation of the Technical Advisory Council to the Forest Products Laboratory that an extension specialist be provided to work with the laboratory and the wood industry.

Dost, a 1952 graduate of the University of Washington College of Forestry with a major in forest products, has been working closely with staff members of the Richmond laboratory while directing research for the Redwood Assocration the past seven-andone-half years. The Association, through grants to the University, has helped finance research project; on redwood at the laboratory. Dost's vrork has also involved directing tests of materials and developing technical information for the state's redwood mills.

Symptoms of the growing demand for northwest hardwood products may be seen in the recent installation of several hardwood sawmills in Washington and Oregon, and in a steady increase in hardwood log output. Several mills which normally cut both hardwoods and softwoods, are now favorins hardwoods.

The United States uses paper products at the rate of 440 pounds per person per year as compared to a world average of 57 pounds, according to a new booklet, "Pulpwood Industry ,.Facts," published by American Forest Products lndustries in cooperation with the American Pulpwood Association.

Pulpwood production in the country nearly has doubled since 1950, climbing from 20.7 million cords to 40 million cords in 1961, the booklet states.

Annual per capita use of paper products is 280 pounds in .Canada, 35 pounds in Russia, I35 pounds in Francg six pounds in Red China, and three pounds in India.

"Pirlpwood is the basic raw material for one of the nation's largest industrial complexes," says the hooklet. "The pulp and paper industry in the United States is composed oI 472 eompanies operating 813 paper mills and 357 pulp mills, many of which are in the same establishments. In addition. there are about 4,000 mills which convert the paper and paperboard into articles for every-day use."

The pulp and paper industry provides year-round jobs for more tl-ran 578,000 people whose wages total more than $2.9 billion a year. The industry pays more than $800 million a year for pulpwood delivered to the mills, furnishing a steady market for 24,000 tree farmers and other landowners growing trees as a crop.

_ The concise four-page manual deals with grades of shingles, shipping weights and roof coverage, plus illustrated applicaiion steps and specification details for both shingles and the economical machine-grooved sidewall shake.

Handy charts are available for applicators, contractors and architects to estimate proper exposure of shingles in relationship to roof pitch and to determine the number of squares required for proper roof coverage.

Copies of the manual are available free from the Bureau, 5510 White Bldg., Seattle l, Washington.

Most of the structural part of a home is hidden, but, when inspecting a home before buyingr go to the basement and see what the joists look like and inspect the exposed rafters. If these are of good Douglas fir lumber you know the best has been used.

Lu-Re-Co Licenses Weyerhoeuser to Promote Component Building

Weyerhaeuser Company, a major building materials manufacturer, has been licensed to promote the Lu-Re-Co trademark and component system for home building, Clarence A. Thompson, president of Lu-ReCo Service Association, announced from Washington, D.C.

'oThis license will permit Weyerhaeuser to add promotional force to the sale by local retail lumber dealers of yard-fabricated components for quality-built homes of good design," John L. Aram, marketing vice president of the firm's wood products division, stated simultaneously from his Tacoma, Wash., headquarters,

He emphasized, ooOur company is neither entering construction of homes nor fabrication of house parts. As in the past, we will continue to sell our wood products to Iocal retail lumber dealers; they, in turn, will supply local builders."

As the first move under the new license, the company is joining with a small group of dealers to test a new marketing program for local promotion of homes constructed by the method developed by Lu-Re-Co. After the field test has been completed and the

program fully developed, the program will be expanded by offering it to additional lumber dealers.

The system utilizes components fabricated in the plants of local retail lumber dealers: local builders erect the sections and complete the building. The advanced method of construction was developed eight years ago through research sponsored by Lumber Dealers Research Council, a nonprofit association of progressive lumber dealers devoted to research in improved construction techniques and materials distribution.

Efficiency of the Lu-Re-Co system has since been demonstrated in thousands of homes built in all 49 continental states and throughout Canada. Both the LDRC research council and Lu-Re-Co Service Association, the organization which licenses use of the system and assists dealers to capitalize on the method, will continue to function with retail lumber dealers as in the past. Raymon H. Harrell is executive vice president of both with Washington, D.C. hea.dquarters.

"It is a logical and favorable develop-

ment that Weyerhaeuser embody the LuRe-Co component system in its promotion program," commented Thompson, who also is president of Thompson Lumber Co. of Champaign, Ill. "Historically, Weyerhaeuser has lnarketed its products through retail lumber dealers and for 35 years has been a leader in aggressive building materials merchandising to help dealers sell."

o'The Lu-Re-Co component system was created especially for dealers. It simplifies quality control, reduces in-place costs, speeds building eliminates waste and allows design flexibility to please buyers."

CHIP Notionol Offers Screening Center

The CHIP National program is expanding to include a screening center {or potential building consultants, lumber salesmen and department manager. All preliminary screening and interviewing will be done at the new Covina office-734 \. Barranca.

CHIP dealers wishing to interview screened applicants should call the office to establish appointments; telephone 331-820I (area code 21lJ )

States a company spokesman; "As we will be screening many men, we will set up appointments for only qualified men. These applicants will be worth much more than the $100.00 fee for the applicant you hire. Should you feel that a particular applicant is not adaptable to your organization we'll try to place him elsewhere and. o[ course, there is no charge. Now is the time to review your present crew and consider adding new sales to your department and profits for your company."

Untrue Beliefs About Wood

l. Wood Schools ore dongerous becquse.of fire hqzqrd. In properly built schools, the materials of construction have no influence on the fire hazard to life of the occupants. The only really fire-safe school is the one-story school with an exterior exit in every room-and it is completely safe regardless of the materials used in building. Exert your influence to have such schools built in your district.

2. Steel is stronger thqn wood.

Weight for weight, many woods are stronger than steel.

3. Sopwood is stronger thqn heqrtwood or vice verso.

Under dry conditione of use one is as strong as the olher' For ' instance, for years ilie trade tlought hickoiy hihilles of white sapwood were stronger'than those made of brownish heart' wood. Many tests proved this is not so.

4. Airrdried. lumber is slronger thqn kiln dried or vice versq. When properly dried to a given :noisture content one is as strong as the other.

5. Wood from live trees is stronger lhon wood from deod lrees-qs for inslqnce, trees thot hove died from q foresl fire or olher tquses.

Sound wood or unburned wood from dead trees or trees that have been in a forest fire is just as strong 'as wood from live trees.

6. Wood from lurpentined pine lrees is weoker lhon wood from unturpenlined lrees.

There is no rribasurable difference in the strengths.

7. Thqt plywood t'slronger thqn wood in oll respects.

Assuming the sdme grade of the same species, a piece of fiveply plywood with'each ply I/" thick in a panel 12" wide by 4'long supported under pach end will carry a load only about two-thirds as heavy as will be carried by a piece of solid lumber of the same dimensions. Other assemblies of plywood will likewise be weaker than equal sizes of solid lumber' In some other respects plywood is stronger. For instance, plywood is stronger across the width than is lumber.

8. Todoy's lumber is nol os good os thqt of yeors qgo.

Grade for grade, the lumber of today is at least as good as ever before and probably better because of improved seasoning and machining methods.

9. Wood will "dry rol."

There is no such thing as "dry rot" and we should all stop using that term. The wood may be dry and rotten when in' spected, but when the decay occured the moisture content of the wood was above 20/o. When wood is used where it will remain dry; that is, below 20/o, no wood will decay-not even the sapwood of anY wood.

lO. High lemperqtures with high humidities will cquse wood lo decoy.

This is not true. Even if we kept wood for years in a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 90/o, the wood will not decay. There is no place in the U. S. A. where the temperatures and the humidities are such that they will cause wood to reach a moisture content that will permit wood to decay. For wood to decay in this country, it is necessary that it be in or on the ground exposed to liquid water that will remain on it long enough to wet the wood for an extended period of time. The easy way to prevent decay is to use well-known good construction methods,so that no water pochets ar€ present. Where special construction resuhs in recesses or places where water can gather and remain, use the heartwood of a naturally durable wood or preservedly treated for long life.

I l. Time will couse wood lo decoy.

This is not so. I{ wood is kept at a moisture content below 20/o, it will never decay-and that means never.

12. Thqf the mere choice of q nslurolly duroble species of wood will prevent decoy under wei conditions.

It is necessary to use the heartwood of the naturally durable species to get protection against decay under wet conditions. Directly underneath the bark of a tree is the new wood that grew there just recently. In most woods it is sort of white in color and is called sapwood. The sapwood of any wood decays very easily if it stays wet. Underneath the sapwood is the older wood that grew years ago. In most woods is is dark brown or dark red and is called the heartwood. It is this heartwood that is naturally durable in some species. Properly treated wood also resists decay,

13. Some woods qre nqlurolly immune lo termile ottock.

Any wood placed in the ground in termite.infested areas must be properly treated to protect it against termites. This is easily done. Houses using any kind of wood are easily protected against termite attack by well-known proper construction methods.

14. Some woods end shrink more lhon others.

The normal wood of all species has about the same low end shrinkage. The generel range of wood moisture content from the driest to the wettest seasons of the year in most parts of the nation is about Saft. With this range of moisture content a sixteen-foot piece of normal lumber hanging free in the air will end-shrink alnut 1/16 inch. When nailed tight, as is done with siding, trim, etc., this shrink.rge is reduced to less than l/64", Shorter pieces will shrink even less. An abnormal piece with compression wood in it will shrink more. Compression wood should not be put into housing items like siding, etc. (Conthwed, on Page 27)

Dealers Hear How to t'survive Tomorrow's Market"

A three-pronged program designed to help lumber and building products dealers ttSurvive Tomorrow's Market" was detailed to more than 450 delesates at the NRLDA Building Nlaterials Exposition. Each phase of the program is planned for dealer application in future months.

"I believe our future is bright and opportunities greater than ever before in our history," said C. W. Nortz, Executive Secretary of the Mountain States Lumber Dealers Association. 'oPost World War II dealers were basically warehousemen for carpenters . . . but today most dealers are devoting considerable time to other markets such as consumers, do-it-yourself, home improvement, package selling, land development, components, etc. Because of this change, the necessity for informed management has become more important than ever and, without it, we are faced with the possibility that we cannot survive in the competitive period that we are in and probably will remain in for a number of years to come."

Nortz introduced a Standardized Accounting System to dealers "as the first uniformed method of obtaining facts necessary for management to make decisions on merchandising, pricing, sales promotion and other problems. Developed in cooperation with Ernst & Ernst, national accounting firm, the new program will be available

to dealers early in 1963. It will consist of an operational accounting manual, special two-day seminars and provision for establishment of the system in local yards by accounting firms.

"With this system we will have for the first time industry statistics which can be used for comparison purposes," Nortz told his audience. "A dealer will be able to see what it costs to service a particular type of customer, and then adjust his prices accordingly."

The Standardized Accounting System can be set up as a manual method and easily converted to electronic handling, or can be established as an electronic system at the outset.

"I predict that within ten years every existing Iumber dealer will be using data processing equipment of varying degrees of complexity," said M. K. Peterson, Masonite Corp. "It behooves all dealers to be as knowledgable as possible on this subject so that when the opportune time comes, data processing equipment can be installed."

Phase two of the special program presented at the Building Materials Exposition was detailed by Carroll O'Rourke, Weyerhaeuser, Tacoma,

Stressing the need for sound advertising and promotion in the retail lumber industry, O'Rourke presented an outline of a

soon-to-be-written manual which will guide dealers in preparation and placement of advertising, merchandising, publicity, printed materials, manufacturers' helps and other special promotions.

Phase three of the program was introduced by Joseph O'Neil, publisher of BUILDING MATERIALS MERCHANDISER, Chicago, who told dealers that adequate training of dealer employees is a must for survival. ooAbout SOrio oI the yards in the country conduct some type of educational program at the present time," reported O'Neil, "and with plans now being formulated we hope this percentage will increase substantially in the immediate future."

Teaching machines, one means of conveying more instruction to dealer personnel, were explained at the meeting. A sHde presentation detailed various typei of units now on the market, their cost and their application.

"Educational programs being developed by NRLDA in cooperation with -unufu"turers from our industry and Purdue University can be expected to put personnel training on an economical and must basis for all dealers throughout the countrv.', explained O'Neil. "Some o[ these couid well be correspondence courses which could be easily utilized."

TAGGING CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY HAS BRIGHTER FUTURE, TUMBER DEATERS TOII)

Behind its brave front, the nation's huge construction industry is more than a little sick; and while eventual recovery is indicated, its condition is likely to get somewhat worse before it gets better, according to Dr. Ceorge Cline Smith, speaking at a meeting of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Dr. Smith, nationally known economist, is a senior partner in the firm of MacKayShields Economics, Inc., New York. He based his predictions on these facts:

First, there has been ahnost no real growth in the physical volume of construcsince 1955, despite an increase of 2lmillion in our population.

Second, construction costs have continued to inflate more rapidly than most sectors of the economy, principally in wage rates.

The result has been constant erowth in the inflated dollar total of construction, despite relative stagnation in the real need for building materials and services; this fictitious growth has misled producers into continued increases in capacity.

If lumber could talk, I feel that it would say something like this: I came from a tree that stood majestic on a hillside. I stood sentinel there when the forests of this great land were untouched by the hand of the woodsman.

I reared my two top branches into the glory of the sunlight by day, and drank deep in the dews of evening. Generations passed while still I grew; and further generations have come and gone since I.became one of the big trees of the forest. I seemed to be a thing apart, a thing eternal, so slow and watchful seemed the hand of Providence that fashioned me.

The flowers of many springtimes came, and bloomed, and died, and were no more; yet I was changeless. The grasses on the hill-

side came forth through countless springs, grew, withered, died and disappeared. Yet I remained. The wintry blasts blew futile against my towering strength; the gentle summer breezes fanned my lazy boughs; and autumn colors through endless Indian summers bedecked the woods around me. And still I stood, unchanged, and unimpressed.

Then one day there came men with axe and saw; and I fell, crashing my full length upon the ground where my shadow had fallen for ages. The tragedy of my dismemberment and disruption followed. Today, I, who stood upon the hillside while generations came and disappeared, and whose children and children's children followed that sel{-same path, am only Lumber.

My destiny is to go out into the world piecemeal, that men may fashion me into places of shelter. That is my fate. But to those men who tore me from my place in the sun and flung me prostrate with their devices; who ruthlessly tore down the mighty bulk that the wings of God had beat against for centuries, I would say these things:

Mony compleie kitchens ond fine cobinet instollotions ore disployed ot our showroom. The lotest in design, they ore the result of the best thinking by experls in the fields. Drop in ond see why wood cobinetry is your best bet.

Carpenfers Union Will Back Wood Promotion Efforf

The United Brotherhood of Carpeuters and Joiners has authorized a union'wide national promotion program to be directed by a new department of the Brotherhood. The action was taken by the 29th General Convention of the Brotherhood, meeting in Washington, D.C., September l7-2L, on a resolution ofiered by Local 635 of Boise, Idaho.

Mortimer B. Doyle, Executive Viee President of the National Lumber Manu' facturers Association, in an address earlier to the convention, had urged the l80O delegates to take advantage of their op' portunity to "strengthen the economic posi' tion of each segment of the lumber industry.'o He continued:

Carpenter union ofrcials said details of the new wood promotion program-such as budget, manpower, promotion tech' niques, materials, etc.-had not yet been worked out but probably would be decided on before the end of the year.

In his remarks to the convention, Mr. Doyle noted that lumber manufacturers have been sponsoring a National W'ood Promotion Program with such success that ooour Canadian lumber manirfacturing neighbors to the North are securing an ever-increasing share of the U.S. market

." he added:

"This situation persists right now and

we propose to bring our strength to bear on it as we have put our unified strength to bear on the problem of promotion.

Referring to the opportunities for cooperation between lumber manufacturers and carpenters, Mr. Doyle stressed:

'owe have it in our power to set an example to management and labor througbout the country as to the specific results available through understanding and mutual promotion effort.

'oWe, you and I and all of those thousands we represent throughout the United SLates have it within our grasp to improve the opportunities for everyone of us individually and for all of us collectively by making wood undergo a renaissance in America."

"Vhereas, the promotion of the use of wood and wood products is of vital interest to all Brotherhood mernbers; and

ttWhereas, in some areas, efforts have been made by various Councils to establish Local Union W'ood Promotion Committees for the purpose of promoting the use of wood and wood products in schools and other public building construction; and

ooWhereas. efforts to coordinate the activities of these established wood promotion committees have been only partly successful; and

"Whereas, as of this date much of our success is attributed to our General ofrce through the valuable articles on wood promotion which have appeared

"Whereas, an effective program needs to be headed by a special Department of the Brotherhood established for the purpose of furnishing material and qualified manpower to maintain an organized program: now therefore be it

"Resolved, that this 29th General Convention adopt a Wood Promotion program throughout the Brotherhood; and be it further

"Resolved, that upon adoption, the General Executive Board be empowered to establish a Department within the Brotherhood for the express purpcise of furnishing material, manpower and to correlate this promotional program for the benefit of all Brotherhood members."

Vosl Recreotionql qnd Lumber Potentiol

Full development of the potential recreadion land on the Modoc, Sierra, and San Bernardino National,Forests in California tould provide about 4Q million visitor-days of recreation capacity pluS almcist 240 million board feet of timber at sustained yield capacity from the remaining forest land. , This is one of the conclusions from a new publication, Technical Paper 68, by Elliot Amidon and Ernest NI. Gould. Jr." released by Dr. Keith Arnold, director of the U.S. Forest Seivice experiment station in Berkeley.

'oRecreational use of forest land is inbreasing rapidly," Dr. Arnold said, "and uncertainties about the consequences are of great €oncern to forest managers who must plan for joint production of recreation and timber. Working with inventory data from the three National Forests. Amidon and Gould have shown one way to remove some of the uncertainty.

Amidon is a research forester at the for. est experiment station (home address: 1216 Talbot Ave., Berkeley), and Gould is resident forest ecohomist at Harvard Forest" Petersham, Mass., and consultant to the Forest Service on recreation research.

Their report shows the possibilities for future expansion of four major types of recreational use on each National Forest and estimates the impact of this expansion in terms of reduced sawtimber volume, annual allowable cut, aid sustained yield capacity.

On the study forests, totalling 3.5 million acres, full development of thi recreation potential, to provide 40 million visitor-days of capacity, would amount to about ten times the present capacity. This expansion could reduce productive forest land by 10 to 12 percent on the Modoc and Sierra National Forests, and by 32 percent on the San Bernardino National Forest.

The authors caution that these figures should not be generalized to apply f al National-Forest land in California. Thev

also point out that other uses of forest land-for production of water, wildlife, and livestock, for example-must be considered in management decisions and future research.

Copies of the report are available from Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, P. O. Box 245, Berkeley l. California.

T'he present turmoil over softwood gradcs and sizes, and the strong requests for government assistance from softwood producers, impart no anxiety to hardwood producers. Grades and sizes are well estab. lished, and hardwood markets are increasing.

logging Conslruction Industry

(C,ontinue.d, lrorn Page IB)

And finally, excessive capacity has led to abnormally severe competition and a widespread profit squeeze.

Construction is the nation's larse:t fabricating industry; il is, in fact, several industries, and not all of them are movins together. The market for single-family homes, {or example, is depressed compared to the peak years of 1950 and 1955; while apartment-building, essentially a difierent industry, is booming. School building is levelling, while highways, built by a difierent type of contractor with difierent methods and materials are increasing.

The short-term business outlook calls for a mild downturn in 1963. l'his is bound to har,e some dampening effect on the private sectors of construction, particularly residential, commercial and industrial

building. On the other hand, public construction of highways and public works should be stimulated, and school building should at least remain at its hish level. On lhe whole, the net effect o[ I96jl business conditions on construction will be slightly on the down side-perhaps two or three percent below 1962.

Later in the year, an upturn should begin to be felt, and it seems likely that population pressures already building up, and becoming stronger in the middle of the dccade, will finally push the economy and the construction industry out of the relative stagnation it has been experiencing.

I)uring the construction boom that is almost certain to take place in the later Sixrics. there should be one signifir-anr change in the industry. Because construction wage rates run far higher than manufacturing wage rates, and because the very nature of the work makes construction labor less productive than factory labor,

there will he an inexorable pressure to shift as much work as possible off the building sites and into the factories.

What this means is more and more prefabrication or pre-assembly of components. It will mean also the eventual breakdown of archaic building codes and medieval practices. The handwriting is already on the wall, in the techniques almost universally being used in Europe but hardly more than talked about here. Eventually the tower cranes, key to the European techniques, will sprout like mushrooms here; and when they do. we will have reversed our construction industry's present trend toward pricing itself out of its markets.

To give some added zest to an otherwise drah room. some smart rvomen have enclosed the fireplace in a lovely jacket of wood clear to the ceiling, exposing only the fireplace opening. West coast hemlock is an ideal wood for this purpose.

How Southern Pine Views Grade Simplification

By EARI M. McGOWIN Choirmon, Southern Pine Inspection Bureou, Chopmon, Alobomo.

From the very beginning of the NLMA grade simplification effort, the Southern Pine branch of the industry has cooperated and shown its interest. The idea of simplifying grades and standardizing quality has wide appeal. Everyone in the business naturally would favor measures that would make it easier for lumber to be specified and sold. It would be fine indeed if only a few grades would suffice in all species and for all species to be graded on a uniform basis and to be of uniform size and called by the same name.

At its first meeting on this subject in December 1960. our SPIB Board of Governors indicated its approval of the principle of grade simplification but emphasized"that this program should be undertaken only if all groups will make an all out efiort to improve, coordinate, simplify and stan&rdize bch the quality classifications and the size standards for the various items used in house construction, keeping in mind the con' clusions uniformly reached in all past surveys of lumber markets that there is a need for definite standards to be established and observed so that the industry as a whole may produce a quality product that can be identified and advertised as such."

An honest effort was made to find a satisfactory basis for compromising dif' ferences between the producing regions. Gradually it became evident that we were not compromising anything on a give and take basis, but differences were being resolved strictly on the basis of expediency with the effect of freezing practices that long have been criticized by distributors and consumers,

We feel the very life of our Southern Pine industry depends upon its success in maintaining a grading system that will meet its own manufacturing and trade needs. We cannot stand by and see our customers misled into believing that some other system is better, particularly when that system is as lacking as the present NLMA recommendations. Since the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is trying to sell this as a new and revolutionary plan, Southern Pine feels it. must do what it can to point out the deficiencies and emphasize the things that have caused it to refrain from approving these NLMA recommendations.

Now they talk about this as a new system developed over the last two and onehalf years, but it is precisely the same

plan that was introduced and publicized widely by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association some ten years ago. \[/e have in our files letters as well as publicity from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, beginning in 1952, which evidence the many conferences and attempts that were made to sell the idea to architects and retailers.

Well, after trying to establish the new system over a four-year period, the West Coast Association did not reduce the number of grades, did not simplify the basis of grading, and settled merely for new grade names in lieu of the A, B, C and D, and I to 4 that previously were used by nearly all divisions of the industry.

All of the elements of the plan that was unsuccessfully promoted by the West Coast division in 1952 were brought forth some two and ane-hCf years ego thrcngh NLMA councils for consideration by the entire lumber industry. This approach was proper because if there is any merit to the idea it should be considered jointly by all of the organizations that publish softwood grading rules and lumber specifiers and buyers.

When you sift down the present NLMA proposals, aside from the new idea of 'separate green and dry ALS sizes (which is a completely separate subject in no way related to the original grade simplification project), and simplified span tables (which if meritorious can be made efiective regardless of the other aspects of grade simplification), we find that these also end up with only one specific step and that is the adoption of uniform grade names for noncomparable qualities.

Our SPIB releases and our booklet o'What are the Facts About Lumber Standards" bring out the objectionable features of the NLMA plan. I do not believe any further explanation is necessary.

The proposal for separate green and dry ALS sizes was not originally a part of the grade simplification program but developed as a side issue about twelve months ago. I made every effort to have this handled strictly as an ALS matter, and not mixed with the grade simplification program, but was overruled. For a while we tried to work out a satisfactory basis for handling this ,but finally became convinced it would not be to the interest of the Southern Pine industry or of lumber consumers for this to be done.

The American Lumber Standards have at no time recognized or given any stand-

ard status to green lumber. There are many good reasons for this. Aside from the many grave questions about the wisdom of such a move, the specific proposals for accomplishing it are deficient in many respects,

In our opinion, many of the statements being made in behalf of the new size proposals are unfounded. They say this change would not result in any reduction in the present FHA and other span allowanoes .on the theory that green lumber dressed to the 15/s" thickness has been used right along. Perhaps this is so, due to the lack of proper enforcement, but if the present criteria are continued there is question but what the span allowances for lL/2" dimension will be reduced. On the other hand, if a new criteria can be established on a basis that would entitle lVz" dry lumler tg .the preserrt spanso the-n it naturally would follow that ld/a" dry lumber could be used on longer spans.

The proposal for the dry lumber definitions to permit IO/o oI the pieces in any shipment to exceed I9/o moistute content not only is contrary to all past recommendations of government departments and technical groups, but would make it possible for lumber that has not begun to shrink to be stamped "dry." From firsthand experience we know that a l9/o maximum is necessary not only to assure satisfactory quality but in order to facilitate inspection. There is no effective way that a l9o,b average or a specification permitting l|fb oI the pieces to range up to 25Vo moisture content can be enforced. Further, this would mean that pieces almost if not completely green could be included in shipments of lumber sold as dry and stamped dry.

The mill inspection records of the SPIB bear out an interesting fact. In shipping under a l9/o maximum moisture content limitation, as is required by the Southern Pine rules, a tabulation of moisture readings in mill reports show the average moisture content at SPIB mills is between I57o and 16/o for dimension and slightly under I5/o ior boards. This means that the lumber for all practical purposes is in equilibrium with atmospheric moisture content.

Under the proposed plan, there would be nothing to prevent green shippers from dressing unseasoned lumber to the proposed dry sizes on shipments not required to be grade marked. If the future is to be judged by the past it is only reasonable to

Thc Tacoma firm uas cunct'ived in the minds of Frank L. White. its first presitl'rrt. and Adolph M. Olson. The organizing grorrp tlt'< itlt'd to ofler 3(X) shares of stock for sale at $1.000 each to launch the organization and another $l f0,000 was borrowed from tht' shareholders.

Plywood, Inc., of Tacomo, Woshington, celebroled its 2Oth onniversory in Seplember. The firm hos lurned oul neorly one-ond-one-holf billion feel of plywood since I 942. Shown discussing eorly operctions ore, lefr to righr, A. G. ldso, choirmon of the boord, Alfred Anderson, president of the fim, ond John H. Morfinson, vice president ond generol mdnoger.

Some $295.000 was enough to huild a structure and buv equipment and soon the firm's only product, interior t1,pe plvwood panels made on a second-hand cold press, were being produced at the rate of two-million square feet a month.

"Because we got started during the war years, equipment was hard to come b-y." says Harold Wenman, the firm's treasrtrer and one of the original share-holders. "W'e had an old 'junker' lathe operated by steam, a single cold press and drier, and one old Hyster-model lift tmck."

But since i942 the organization has come a long wav. A total oi $l.8-million has been poured into nerv buildings and equipment and now 270 workers push eight and one-half million square feet of plywood a month onto the sales floor for shipment all ot'er the nation. In all. the plant has produced nearly one-and-onc'half billion feet o{ plywood in the past 20 years.

Along with an increased output. the Tacoma plant can also boast of producing a number of specialty products besides fir plywood panels. Included among these is Texture 1-11. a specialty siding; 2.1.1^ the combination subfloor and underlayment panel; a brushed fir panel trademarked by Puget Sound Plywood as "Grain-Glo"; and panels faced with birch, maple, oak. mahogany and knotty pine.

Puget Sound Plywood is one of the few firms in the industry which handles all its own sales and one of the {ew which has always supplied its own logs and veneer. In 1943, a year after production began, the Skate Creek Logging Co. was organized to supply peeler logs and in 1955 the Tacoma co-op bought out

the interests of a sawmill in Eugene, Ore., and formed the Eugene Stud & Veneer Company. In 196l Puget Sound became a one-third owner in the Mt. Adams Veneer company at Randle, Wash. The logging company is now primarily a contract operation, but the Eugene plant ships more than three-million square feet of veneer a month to its parent plant in Tacoma and the plant at Randle supplies another two-million square feet.

Owning and operating a retail business of an1 kind in a small town can be conpared to planting grass:

Sometimes it grows of its own accord.

Sometimes it grows in the wrong places.

Sometimes it won't grow at all.

The comparison is obvious. Small town businessmen have to wrestle with conflicts in many spheres; a difiused market, skilled labor shortages. and public opinion. Small townspeople are more unwilling to accept progressive change than those who live in cities. Progress means change, and as cynical as it may sound, far too many small town businessmen-and the population in general-are opposed to progress and grorvth. Why? No one can be certain.

This is not so with a client of mine, amiahle Fred Riedle, Jr., owner manager

of Builders Lumber Company in Dos Palos, California (population 2,000). Fred is one of the most progressive small town dealers I have had t,he good fortune to meet and assist. t'red stocks saleable building materials, controls inventories. met'ts public demand for merchandise and "redii. and specializes in stocking quality merr:handise backed up by good service. A minimum payroll and wage incentives get the job done.

Fred recently installed a revolving plan of credit selling that first drew opposition from the local buyers and retailers. A farming community, his trade area emlrraces many farmers already educated in the obsolete "farmer plan" who exper:t creditors to gamble along with them on the success of their crops.

Since Fred adopted thc philosophy long ago, "I would rather sell out and give up than not be paid for what I sell," his adopted plan o{ revolving credit under the Unruh Act, California Act, AB 500, Chapter 201. Statutes of 1959, earns for him extra income as compensation for a select few {armer plan accounts and delinquent local residents opposed to paying promptly and in full when due.

Fortunately, Fred is not obtrusivc in his approach to the local trade. His plan of credit management first caused much comment from the local retailers and customers, but credit sales are increasing every month, delinquency has been reduced I7c/o, and his over-all credit policy is now in keeping with good trade practice.

Housing Storts in September 1962

During September 1962, the number of privately owned housing units started (nonfarm and farm) was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of I,3I2,000 units, down J5 percent from the revised August rate of I,540,000 units, and down 5 percent {rom the September 196I rate of I,383,000 units, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce.

A part of the September declines noted above may result from the relatively small number of working days in September 1962. The housing starts series does not now include a special adjustment for working days. When sufficient experience with the new series accumulates, such an adjustment may be adopted.

Construction was begun on 117,000 privately and publicly owned housing units in September 1962, compared with 148,700 units in August and 128,200 in September 1961. The 115,600 privately owned units begun in September 1962 rvere down 21 percent from the revised total of 147,000 in August and were down 6 percent from the September 1961 total of 122,400 units.

Nonfarm housing starts totaled I14,400 units in September 1962, down 2l percent from the revised August total of 145,000 units, and down l0 percent frorn the September 196I total of 126,500 units. Private nonfarm starts of 113,000 units in September 1962 were down 21 percent from August and down 6 percent from

September 1961. After adjustment for seasonal variation, private nonfarm starts were at an annual rate of 1,284,000 units, 15 percent below the August rate of ],511,000 units and 6 percent below the September 1961 rate of 1,365,000.

Private housing starts in Septem'ber 1962 were lower than August in all regions. After adjustment for seasonal variation, private starts were down 18, 29, lI, and 6 percent in the North east, North Central region, South, and West, respectively.

Building permit authorizations for new privately owned housing units, on a seasonally adjusted annual rate basis, were up 4 percent in September 1962 over the preceding month. In September, the 10,000 places with local building permit systems authorized the construction oI 94,367 new private units, equivalent to a season' ally adjusted annual rate of 1,172,000 units. In August, these places authorized the construction of 110,208 new private units, equivalent to 1,123,000 units on a seasonally adjusted annual rate basis. The seasonal adjustment of the building permit statistics takes into account the number of working days per month'

The demand for hardwood pulp chips appears to be increasing in the Pacific Northwest. Several hardwood mills have installed debarking equipment, in order to sell clean slabs and edgings for chipping. One or more hardwood sawmills have added chippers to their equipment. One plant in southwestern Washington chips alder logs which are below saw-log grade.

expect that this will be done. The proponents of the new plan point out tlrat provisions have been included to require nonstandard green lumber to be stamped "greeno" and that it also provides that all structural lumber be grade marked. There is no basis ,rpon *[i.h the green

prs. can be made to grade mark their ir, or tequii'ild ttr'ideiitif fonstdnitard lumber, if the order does not require grade marking. While it is quite all right for lumber to be required to be grade marked in purchase specifications or standards, it would be illegal for this to be made mandatory in grading rules.

With regard to uniform names, we have gathered that a big part of the present confusion in the market place results from the sale of some Western species under the same grade name but graded according to difierent grading rules with wide variations in quality. At least, this is what we are told by retailers and others around the country. Under the NLMA plan, it would not be only a few Western species that would be in this untenable position but all softwoods. While NLMA releases state that grade requirements for all softwoods have been made uniformo this is not so because no progress whatever has been made in bring-

ing about comparability in the quality of the difierent softwoods for these grades.

There has been no reduction in the number of grades although this was one of the announced goals. It has been argued that there are at present 157 difierent grades and species of lumber available to cqnfuse the architect and consumer, but this reference is misleading. The grade simplification program is supposed to cover only grades cnd itoms,qsd in reeid€stifll pqs*nretio& ind in this category tti" liioe"f Nllite proposals do not contemplate any reduction in the num'ber of grades. There are innumerable inconsistencies, including a proposed name of "Special" for the highest quality of dimension, while "Special" is the lowest proposed grade of finish. It also is true that in Southern Pine we have a Spe. cial grade of wide-ring dimension that is below our regular No. 2 grade of dimension. So how in the world would it be possible for a lumberman-to say nothing of the layman-to know what 'oSpecial" in 8/4 lumber means?

From the very beginning, the Southern Pine representatives on the NLMA Committee have stressed that this grade simplification program was being undertaken too hastily. As it now stands, it contributes nothing in the way of standardization and possesses great potential dangers because of features that are contrary to all past con-

cepts of efiective'lumber standards. We do not say that this program,should be permanently abandoned, but on tlie contrary have urged that efiorts be continued to improve and coordinate the practices of the various divisions of the industry and perhaps ultimately we can come up with something in the way of a satisfactory uniform national grading system.

Every industry today is highly standardiz{ T_ er.e ucs I. tine when lumber qcou. pied a leading place in this field. The initiation of the American Lumber Standards program some forty years ago was a progressive move that went far in providing an effective formula for coordinating practices in the different softwood regions. Gradually, these ground rules have been thrown aside by some divisions of the industry to gain competitive advantages.

ln my opinion, the time has arrived when the industry must clean its house or else. I feel the manufacturers should work with retailers, wholesalers and interested speci. fying groups, including government departments, in developing size iind quality stand. ards that will meet present-day consumer needs and enable lumber to meet the com. petition of the many other materials that now are trying to displace it in all markets. The Southern Pine industry stands ready and willing to cooperate fully in any such move.

Timber Engineering Compony lounches Study Of Europeqn Lumber Msrket Possibilities

The United States lumber industry, beset by serious inroads on domestic markets by foreign imports, has undertaken a program to develop its own new markets abroad, according to Mortimer B. Doyle, Chairman of the Board and President of the Timber Engineering Company.

TECO has been designated by leading American producers to measure the potentialities of European markets for American lumber species.

First step of the study will be a detailed analysis of factors influencing the sale of lumber to Europe such as competition, freight rates, tariffs, trade restrictions, currency regulations, economic trends, timber consumption, construction practices, customer needs, grading standards, government regulations, distribution channels, and the influence on these {actors of the European Common Market.

Funds to finance the undertaking have been subscribed in sufficient amount to warrant establishment of a continuing lumber mission in Europe to represent American interestso accirding to Mr. Doyle. Reports developed will be circulated only among firms subscribing to 'oOperation Expolum," which has been selected as a term which properly reflects the purpose: to export lumber.

Details of the program may be obtained by writing to "Opera.

Redwood Shipments

Redwood shipments in September fell belo* August totals due to the diflerence in the number of working davs. but remained above September, 196I, shipments.

The ll major companies (both members and non-members) which report shipments to the California Redwood Association shipped M,4A6,0OO board feet of redwood in September, compared to 55,271,000 board feet in August. However, there were only 19 working days in September as -against 23 in August. The September 1962 totals amounted to I,560,000 more board feet than were shipped in September, 1961, which had 20 working days.

Production, of course, showed a similar decline. The mills sawed 42,351,000 board feet of lumber in September, compared to 47,227,000 in August and 50,086,000 in September, 1961. New orders amounted to 35,835,000 board feet, couryared to 561411,000 in August and 38,881,000 in Sepember, 1961. Orders on the books dropped eight million board feet to 62,439,000 board feet. Stocks on hand dropped to 380,275,00 board feet. Shipments for the first three quarters of L962 were 431,738,000 board feet, compared to 400,188,000 in the same period of 1961.

Pressure-treofed Fire Retordont Wood Recommended for Acceplonce

Glenn B. Vance. State Fire Marshal of the State of California' announced in late September that after two years of preparation, the revisions to Title 19, "Public Safety", of the California Administrative Code, were to be ready for formal filing possibly in October.

This is the first such revision of these regulations in 12 years. Public hearings on the changes have been completed.

One area in the Fire Marshal's regulations particularly reflects the performance approach. This is the acceptance of pressuretreated fire retardant wood in types of construction where prior to this time only non-combustible materials such as steel, concrete and masonry have been approved, Pressure-treated fire retardant lumber will be approved in the revised state regulations for nonbearing partitions in all types of construction and for roof decking of light metal frame structures. There is no penalty in fire insurance rates and no sacrifice in fire and life sa{ety from this realistic code revision.

It is reported that Vance feels the acceptance of treated wood will permit greater flexibility in the choice of building materials, permit more economical construction and help our state's lumber industry. Fire retardant wood was accepted only after extensive study by the State Fire Marshal's stafi of tests by nationally recognized testing laboratories and by the study of actual fires in buildings built of fire retardant treated wood.

The Office of State Fire Marshal is a state department established to protect the citizens of the State against dangerous and costly fire hazards. The Fire Marshal's regulations apply to all places of public assemblage, all schools"{public"and private) including state colleges, and to all institutional occupancies such as jails, hospitalso nursing homes, etc. During the last fiscal year, the State Fire Marshal's Office checked plans for more than 3.3 billion dollars' worth of construction.

Unusuol "Weqtherproof" Home Rides Out Hurricone

What happens to a so-called 'oweatherproof" new home during hurricane-force winds clocked at lI8 m.p.h.?

The question, which could have been embarrassing for GeorgiaPacific Corp., has been asked by many of the 15,000 persons who visited the company's highly publicized national Idea Home, completed on an exposed Portland hillside only days before the worst storm in Oregon's history. Insurance adjustors report more than 40,000 structures damaged in the Portland area alone by the big October blow.

The G-P damage report-Nothing, not even a dent, although homes in the immediate area were badly damaged. The "weaher-

proof" house was constructed with a new type of synthetic-rubberoverlaid plywood.

A report from the big forest products manufacturer says the house was ready for photography by American Home magazine, which dispatched a New York editor to the sceneo the morning after the hurricane.

"It took a few hours to clean up debris scattered from other areasrn' G-P explained.

The home also will be shown on at least two national color TV network programs in early 1963.

It was built by Jack C. Nunn, president of Portland Home Builders Assn., who said it will be occupied as soon as national magazine and TV photography is completed. A final public showing was held the Sunday before "the big hurricane of. 1962,"

"We now feel safe in saying the new Hypalon (synthetic rubber) overlaid plywood is weatherproof," G-P said ofrcially-and conservatively.

Hordwood Plywood Reseorch Foundotion Creoted

The creation of the Hardwood Plywood Research Foundation for research and development on hardrvood plywood and the materials. machinery and equipment used in its manufacture was announced by the Board of lJirectors of the Hardwood Plywood Institrrte at their ret enl meeling at the llol al Eml,assr Hotel. Montr"al. Canada.

In describing the purpose of the Hardwood Plyrvood Research Foundation, HPI president French R. McKnight, W. Helena, Arkansas, hardwood plywood manufacturer and a director of the Foundation, said the Hardwood Pl1'wood Research Foundation is "to prepare and ptrblish studies. papers and books on hardwood plywood, veneers, adhesives. chemicals and other materials used in the manu{acturing o{ hardwood plywood and veneers. It will engage in general research and developrnent work in the wood and chemical products fields and will apply for, hold and license patents resulting from its research."

i A non-profit organization, established and maintained throueh the voluntarv financial support of manufacturers of hardwood plywood. r'eneers, adhesives, flour and mar:hinery. the foundation was originally proposed by the Hardwood Plywood Institute. HPI is the national trade associa-

tion for hardwood plywood manu{acturers. with 54, members in all parts of the Lnited States and Canada.

In addition to l.{cKnight. the following prominent hardwood plywood industry leaders are llow serving as directors of the new {oundation: John M. Prince- General Sales Manager. Joncs Vt'neer & Plywood Company, Eugene, Oregon and Clark E. McDonald, Nlanaging Direr,tor, Hardwood Plywood Institute, Arlington. Virginia. Directors will not receive any <.ompensation for their services.

Ceneral subscribers to HPRF mav enter .inlo a special sul,scription contrarlt with the foundation for special research to which the subscriber shall have the exclusive risht to any material or patents developed unJer the contract with the foundation.

A Research Committee will be approved by the Board of Directors. This committee will have general supervision over all of the research and development projects of the foundation. It will act as counsel to the Board of Directors in all matters pertaining to research and development.

The Iloard of Directors may accept, on behalf of the foundation, any contributions, gifts, bequests or devices lor the general purposes, or for any specific purpose, oI the foundation.

"The Board of Directors of HPI are proud of the fact that the hardwood plywood industry has taken the initiative in establishing this foundation," N{cKnight said. "Great possibilities exist for carrying on worthwhile projects. The results of the wqrk will contribute vastly to the wellbeing of the entire North American hardwood plywood industry and its suppliers." , Some of the projects now being considered by the Foundation Roard and Research Committee are as follows:

1. Development of an accelerated test to evaluate Type II interior plywood. It is hoped the 15-day (15 cycle) test can be reduced to a 24-hour test-

2. Tests for acoustical values of hardwood plywood by species and thickness, and ways of installing, by the Armour Research Institute, Riverbank Acoustical Laboratory.

3. Fire retardant finishesInsxpgn5iys fir'e retardant treatment of veneei.s and core material.

4. Low cost exterior adhesive.

5. Durable transparent exterior finish for hardwood plywood.

6. Development of machinery for a continuous process of producing hardwood plywood.

7. Plastic finish for hardwood plywood that can compete with plastic laminates.

8. Correlation between exterior of veneer logs and amount and grade of veneer.s it will produce.

Hohe lmpiovement Yeor Plon Approved by NHIC Direciors

The entire year of 1963 will be one of intensive' home remodeling promotion under a plan approved by the National Home Improvement Council Board of Directors in a Chicago meeting on September l3th.

Under the banner of a 'oHome Improvement Year" designation, the Council in 1963 will have these two'related objectives:

l. Tb coordinate all industry promotion efforts-qssociations, manufacturers and others-around a unified theme.

2. To effect an increase in home remodeling sales of at least 20 percent over the present volume level.

rChairman Carroll, K. O'Rourke was authorized by the Board to appoint a special committee of Cou{rcil leaders to plan the year-long sales-building effort.

O'Rourke, an executive of the Weydrhaeuser Company, emphasized that NHIC's role will be that of a coordinating agency.

"This 1963 program will be in the nature of a oplus' for the entire industry," he said. "It will supplement, rather than

supplant or supersede the promotion programs of all individual associatibn and manufacturer participants.

Arthur Hood, honorary .NHIC director and chairman of the organization's Education Committee, defined the program as ooa campaign to achieve individual gain through united effort . to do for evefyone a job that needs to be done and that no one company or association can efiectively do alone." '

There has not been a truly industry-wide program for more than five years, Executive Director Edgar V. Hall observed, despite a continuing heed,to ooharness a welter of divergent efforts." An industrywide program, broadly supported by ull segments, always creates more excitement at the retail level than an individual program, he pointed out. "New home construction will not begin to increase substantially again until 1965, in our opinion. Thus, too much of the consumer's discretionary dollar will be spent on items not related to the home unless we all get together to speak with one voice in promoting remodeling."

Among specific elements of preliminary plans for Home Improvement Year event revealed by Hall were these:

L The Council will hold a series of industry meetings throughout the country with associations,'media and manufacturers to gerierate excitement and coordinate ac-

tivity at the retail level in every imlibrtant market.

2. Manufacturers and associations will be encoriraged to' devdlcip" special,ddvertising and piomotion prdgrams around the 'theme of the yeai. Already,'according to NHIC sources. there are 20 national programs designed to spur'horne improvement activity. Coordination will ilouble their effectiveness.

3. The Council's alieady successful 'oHow To Improve Your Home 'School" will be oopackaled" so that it,can. b'e" conducted in hundreils of comrhuriities fls a powerful means of promoting homeowner 'interest during the year. :

4. The Council will maintain a coordinated public relations and publicity. program among trade and consumer magazines, nelvspapers, television and radio networks and other national media_plus a series of three or four lobal newsiaper, radio and television promotions.

A well-designed fence can be rnade from ordinary lumber items such as 2xzls and lx2s, with 4xzls for posts. The lx2 boards can bb installed so that onp panel is vertical and the next horizontal. Either western red cedar or Douglas fir lumber works well in fence construction.

NEW FIBREGLAS TAPE REINFORCES AND HIDES PIASTER BOARD JOINTS

A new plaster board joint reinforcement tape, for use with thin plaster wall coatings, has been announced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas.

The tape, a vinyl-coated Fiberglas yarn, woven in open mesh construction, reinforces joints between large plaster board sheets and at interior corners to resist the tendency of hair line cracks forming in the thin plaster coating as a result of slight settling, expansion, and contraction of the structure.

Designed to be stapled in place before plastering or imbedded during skim coat troweling, the tape is easily handled because it is lightweight, flexible, will not crease, and is non-rusting.

The tape completely imbeds in the plaster coating as the yarns are very thin and the white tape is not visible through the plaster after application. Non-absorbing, the tape has no effect on plaster drying time. Fiberglas joint reinforcement tape, composed of glass fibers, has great strength and will not stretch, eliminating cracks that such "give" would cause.

Owens-Corning Fiberglas has conducted extensive field and laboratory tests on the product over several years. Available rn two, two and one-half, and three-inch width, several mesh constructions, and 100 or 200-foot lengths.

Fiberglas joint reinforcement tape contributes to the time savings in buildings using the skim coat plastering method. Houses are trimmed out and painted the day after plastering since extensive drying time is eliminated.

More information about Fiberglas joint reinforcement tape can be obtained at Owens-Corning sales offices or by writing Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, Box 901, Toledo 1, Ohio.

Georgio-Pocific Soles, Eornings, €osh Flow Reoch Record Highs

Sales, earnings and cash flow for the nine months ended Sep' tember 30 were the highest of any similar period in the history of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Chairman Owen R, Cheatham and President Robert B. Pamplin has reported to stockholders.

Net sales for the period totaled $226,334,715 compared with $169,067,363 for the same nine month period in 1961, an increase of 33.8 per cent.

Net income was $14,048,787 Ior the nine month period, as against $11,384,893 for 1961, a 23.3 per cent increase.

Cash flow was $33,256,397, a 23,7 per cent increase over the $26,873,174 figure reported for the same period last year.

On a per common share Uasis, earnings were $2.00 for the nine month period, compared with $I.75 a year ago. Cash flow was $4.86 compared with $4.29, based on the average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

These results are partially attributable, the report points out, to the increasing eftectiveness of Georgia-Pacific's merchandising program and its over-all cost control program.

Integration of the company's Crossett Division at Crossett, Arkansas has surpassed expectations to date, the report continues; it is anticipated that the division will be fully integrated by the end of the first quarter next year.

The Georgia-Pacific executives say that plans to consolidate present long term debt, including the permanent financing for the Crossett acquisition, are progressing satisfactorily and on schedule.

In other areas of Georgia-Pacific operations,. the report continues, the company is continuing to add facilities calculated to improve its position and its profits. Work on the Formaldehyde Plant at Coos Bay, Ore., is continuing on schedule. During the quarter just ended, work was started on a hardboard tempering plant, also at Coos Bay. The Formaldehyde Plant will supply material for plywood glue manufacture in commercial quantities.

The Tempering Plant, situated next to the existing Hardboard Plant, will allow exploitation of ready markets for tempered hardboard. Near Pineville, West Virginia the company is building an all-electric lumber mill close to its low-cost hardwood timberlands in that area, the report reveals. This will be the first major mill to be built in that area in the last quarter century. All three new operations will be completed early in 1963.

The report informed stockholders that, "The severe storm which swept up the coastal areas of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington on October 12, 1962, caused no major damage either to our plants or in our forests."

Georgia-Pacific Corporation is a leading integrated forest products company producing a wide range of products including plywood, hardboard, redwood specialties, containerboard, bleached food board, flakeboard, pulp, paper, Iumber and wood chemicals from more than IVz million acres of timberland reserves.

Plqn Offered to Help Deqlers Boost Winter Profits

A "Sell Up" plan to produce higher profits during the Winter season is now being offered building materials dealers by Ttre Cetotex Corporation. The plan is designed to help train and encourage their salesmen to sell customers up to higher profit products, ac-

cording to Marvin Greenwood, Celotex vice president and director of merchandising.

_.

Dealers are rJrged to follow three steps in carrying out the plan, Greenwood said. These are:

1. Select products with the greatest profit return for their Winter sales drive.

2. Promote ]righer profits with special displays, advertising, and merchandising programs.

3. Train salesmen to sell up, by selling benefits of higher profit products, and by selling the ,complete package.

"Celotex helps the dealer aecomplish all three steps,t, Greenwood r..tq. "A l<ey part of the plan is salesman training. Most customers will gladly spend a little more if the saleSmen remember to tell them about the benefits of higher profits products. Teaching salesmen what to say to customers is the proved way to increase sales and profits."

C-elotex helps the dealer in this training by providing pocket-size packets of sell up sales tips. The packet contains a number of printed pages suggesting what salesmen can say to upgrade buyers to certain Celotex products that return a high profit. Each seliing message stresses common-sense benefits of the product that the average customer can readily appreciate.

. Each sales tip page lists other products which are related to the initial product being sold. For example, the page devoted to acousti_ cal tile lists such related merchandise as furring strips, staples and stapler, mouldings, wall paneling, paint or wallpaper, etc, This helps remind the salesman that a large package sale can often grow o^ut o.f-a single customer inquiry, if the salesrnan will only sug-gest and sell related products.

The packet also contains several blank pages for sell up sales tips on._other higher profit product the dealei handles. Salls tips c-an easily be obtained froln othel suppliers. These can be typed on the blank pages and stapled in the packet, so that ernury "ilie*-rn is equipped with a convenient_sell up g:ui{e on every principle high profit product line in the dealer,s store. Measuring o;ly Aya x {y2 inches, the packet can easily be carried with thJsaleiman at all

Lighter Stqin Developed for Chorter Birch

A new, improved finish has been developed for Charter Birch, to upgrade this popular Weldwood paneling by giving it a lighter, cl"r""r tone, United States Plywood Corporation announced'

"The new Charter Birch panel, treated with non-grain-raising stain, highlights the pale beauty of the wood," says John A' BalI, hardwood-plywood manager for the company. "It also contrasts the variatlons in grain and color that have made the Charter line a best-seller since its introduction several years ago."

U.S. Plywood's Orangeburg, S.C., plant, which originated the automated prefrnishing process for wall paneling, also gave Charter Birch a darker V-groove to accent the random-plank efrect and grain pattern.

- "Th; new, light, warm tone is in line with the current trend to greater clarity in wood finishes," said Mr. Ball'

The Weldwood Charter line, including: pecan' cherry, walnut, oak and birch veneers. is manufactured with logs selected for "patterns that only nature can produce"-ilteresting knots, burls and swirls formed by the tree itself. The warm informality of these veneers *us cott"ide"ed ideal for an economically priced panel to supplement the Weldwood line of more formally matched veneers'

The charter line took its name from Connecticut's historic Charter Oak in which the State Charter was hidden from the British in pre-Revolutionary days.
