The California Lumber Merchant - December 1963

California Lurnleer iltercha,nt

That couplet from William of Avon comes to mind every time I read the words and opinions of economists; any economists. Sometimes I get to thinking that economists are in the same class with psychiatrists and public opinion guessers.

Back in my earliest U"r.-"rU I -*"a" by debut quite some time ago--[ was told that o'an economist is a man who knows everything, and can't do anything." I have never had any real reason to doubt the truth of that bit of philosophy. I fear that economists are men who follow that line because thev couldn't make a living any other way.

And, in the last decade, the proof of that particular pudding seems to me to be overwhelming. Most of the economists we see quoted in the press these days, are men with axes to grind. You want to prove that something you are boosting for is trueo so you hire an economist to issue an opinion'proving that you are right.

The other side of ,h" .r;-;, r',L,t", in with another econo. mist hired to disprove your economist and your philosophy, and he looks at the same identical facts and issues a diametrically opposite opinion. Opinions on any subject that can be hired are as worthless as a last year's birds nest. Yet in these strange times we are living in, economists dictums are relied on to prove and disprove anything under the sun.

For instance, in a recent controversy regarding a proposed round of wage increases, labor called in a nationally known economist. He said that industry could afford to pay the wage increase for the three million men affected, because such an increase would increase the buying power of the entire nation and thus strengthen its economy.

BY JACK DIONNE

Another economist came right along and said that such an opinion was ridiculous, because a wage increase for this group would increase prices to the entire nation and thus increase buyer resistance and buying power. He said that we must reduce living costs to all the nation, and that by so doing reduce buyer re. sistance, so evident in all lines of business.

You pay your money ""u ,"ul yo,l, "noi"". Naturally, I think the second opinion is the sound one. And get this picture: a man sat in a street car reading a newspaper. He turned to the man sitting beside him and said: 'of see where they're asking for another round of wage increases. Personally, I MISSED THE FIRST ONES." He was a white collar man, no doubt. The economists fail to mention him.

Along came a nationally known and highly successful businessman, and here is what he suggested we need right now to meet dwindling business: "Reduce prices as rapidly as possible, since lower prices stimulate buying. Increase sales and advertising to stimulate more business and greater employment. Bring out new products to increase public interest. Retain good relations with workers I this is no time for misunderstandings. Bring down costs through efficiency on the part of all.

There is one function of advertising that should never be forgotten or overlooked. When you advertise, you show that you are proud of your business, and want to tell people about it. That removes SUSPICION of that business. It's the birds that fly in darkness that people are suspicious and afraid of, not the ones that sing on the bough of the front yard tree in the sunlight.

"Olt, what a tangled web we weaue, When frst we practice to d,eceiae!"

Oxnard's Wagon Wheel Lumber

Smoothly-Turning Hub of an Eight Yard Chain

Wagon Wheel Lumber Company, on Wagon Wheel Road in Oxnard, California, is an eight acre retail yard that is the hub of an eight yard complex operated by the parent Sun Lumber Company in the four coast counties of southern California.

It is quite an operation. More than six million feet of all species and grades of construction lumber are carried in their Iarge and diversified inventory. It requires 35 employees to handle the large volume

of contractor sales for both tract and single dwelling construction. More than 75/o of all stock arrives via ship and barge at Dock f 1, Port Hueneme. A customer mill is in operation all day, six days each week, to maintain delivery of remanufactured items. And a 12 car railroad spur is in constant use at El Rio receiving shipments to keep up with the building boorn in this fast growing area.

That is just one phase o{ the responsibility of manager Jim Collins. This 17 year

veteran in the lumber business must check and approve all estimates and bids, handle the administrative affairs of the firm and keep the axle well greased for constant erpansion and improvement. He is directly accountable to Tom Supple, vice president of area retail yards for Sun Lumber Company, of Los Angeles and Wilmington. Jim entered the business in Georgia back in 1946 at the mill level. Be{ore joining the Sun orsanization he spent several vears (iontinued on PLge n6)

Annual Humboldt Hoo-Hoo scores with

GolI , Gin Rummy

Prime Rib & Prizes

Two hundred lumbermen attended the Annual Stag Blowout sponsored by Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club 63 at the Baywood Golf & Country Club in Arcata in early October. Fifty-three made a day out of it by testing the Baywood links, Tom Lanin and Jack Ivey overseeing the tournament part of the day. Non golfers engaged in a big gin rummy contest in the clubhouse under the supervision of o'cardsharps" Stu Miller and "Slugger" McAlister.

Free cocktails took the spotlight at 6 p.m. that evening and after a couple of ple4sant hours this contest was ended in favor of dinner in the beautiful Baywood dining room. The capacity crowd devoured enough prime rib to make up a respectable herd. Dinner was followed by a big raffie for a portable TV set and a string of golf awards which resembled the National Open.

Bob Fasel shot a 72 for overall low sross and Ed Kovacovish

and Iver Isaakson shot a pair o{ identical 76's fior second place tie. Fourth low gross saw another tie between Tom Mitty and Harry Zook who both shot 78.

Low r^et winner was Jack Ivey, with Ernie Park and Hank Jacobs taking second and third. Fourth low net was a tie between Harry Watson and John Benbow.

In the Calloway it was Paul Tibb on top, with Don Metcalf in second place.

High gross "honors" were captured by Emmett Bishop, who shot what we would consider a respectable Il9. Harry Watson took longest drive honors and Lou Mari copped the closest-tothe-pin award.

The big Stag was the first meeting of the year with new prexy Bud Allen at the controls. Bud Peterson of Georgia-Pacific is the new vice-president, and Ed Tomich of Tomich Lumber is the club's new secretary-treasurer.

Holdover directors include Jack Allenby of Tidewater Mills, Fran Holmes of Fred C. Holmes Lumber Co., and Wayne Spurling of Van Vleet Wood Products.

National Forest Products Week 1963 Sees

Western Lumbermen in Widesprea(

Now in it's 4,th year, National Forest Products Week has annually become an increasingly more effective tool in promoting the cause of wood. This tear was certainlr' no exception.

In Los Angeles l3O0 packed the Chamber of Commerce for a civic luncheon celebrating The S'eek. Though most were from within the industry, many leaders {rom other fields attended. To the lumbermen it was satisfying proof of the increased awareness of wood's role among the very people who. onlv a few years ago. had written ofl wood as not competitive.

\at (,iustina, president of the National Lumher Manufacturer's Association was the guest speaker. Excerpts from his speech appear on page ilO of this issue.

Among table decorations at the luncheon were several kinds of brochures fronr N.L.M.A. pronoting uses and applications o{ wood along with a few of those old standbys. wooden nickels.

Earlier in the week Los Angeles Mayor Samuel W. Yorty had issued the official proclamation for National Forest Products W'eek. Harvey Koll, local chairman, and Carol Rourke, N.F.P.W. Queen, presented the Mayor with a lumberman's hard hat.

The California State Board of Forestry had earlier issued a resolution above the name of its chairman, W. ts. Carter, giv. ing official recognition to the tremendous role that the Forest Products industry plays

San l)iego lumbermen t.ook advantage of the National Forest Products \I'eek celclrration to kick off a ncw educational and training program-a first and so far arr ''only" irr the nation.

Alarmed by a recent .srtrle)' that showcd that more than 50 per cent of Southcrn California's white t:ollar lumber u,orkers rrere 51. years or older, San Diego lumbermen decided to embark on a program specificalll- de-.ignt'd to attract young men into the indrr,strr.and train them in the hasics of the complicated prolessiorr.

Emcee for the program was Pa'ul Hughes, KTAR broadcaster and public relations man. He presented a scroll to KUPD an' nouncef Bill Heywood, proclaiming him an honorary Hoo-Hoo because '0. we have long pined for the kind of dominant personality that exhibits real inspirational timber ' his very nameHey Wood!-exclaims the enthusiasm we feel for our product.

Selecting judges for a beauty contest can sometimes prove to be a real problem. Salt River HooHoos decided to keep the accenton wood in selecting a panel to choose a "Miss Forest Products" from the passel of pulchritude displayed at the September meeting of the group. Contest judges, chosen for the aptness of their names, were: Bill CUTTER, Scotts' dale; Jerry SAWYER, Glendale; Clarence L.

Chairman of the Forest Products Fair committee was James Woody Clark of Georgia Pacific Corp. He was assisted by Salt River Valley Hoo-Hoos Rodger L. Hancock, James M. Boyd, Dale Britt, Jerry H. Bruce, Tom Suffolk, Eugene McDonald, Joseph' A. Lessard, Donald L. Funk, Dick Siegler, Hy Goldberg, Tom Fridena, Jr., Robert Stedelin, Jerry Murphree, Leo Meter, Robert S.

Bright Future for Lumber Industry Predicted ot Shqsto Coscode Affqir

A bright future for the lumber industry was predicted by a panel o{ speakers who addressed a group of 3I5 lumbermen and their wives gathered at the Elks Club in Redding, Calif., to observe National Forest Products week at a banquet. The event was sponsored by the Shasta-Cascade Hoo-Hoo Club.

The lumber industry, the panel generally concluded. is holding its own and may be getting ahead of competitors in building trade markets. But there is definitely a threat of increasing competition from the steel, aluminum and cement industries, they agreed.

The speakers noted that improved retailing methods are increas' ing the industry's share of the market.

ool don't know where we can go from here. All I can see is upward," said keynote speaker Virgil Mastelotto, district repre' sentative of the American Forest Products Corp. He noted that 20 sawmills within a 60-mile radius of Redding produce 350 million board feet of lumber annually. This is enough to bring communities in the area $55 million in wealth, require shipment on 20,000 trucks or railroad cars and build more than 65,000 houses'

A look at the new horizons in marketing was ofiered by Menno E. Seethoff, district representative of the West Coast Lumberman's Association and Leo W. Beckstrom, trade promotion manager of the Western Pine Association.

Beckstrom warned the group that "steel, aluminum, concrete and plastics have been making tremendous onslaughts over the years on the markets of this industry." To counter this competition, his association's 300 members are contributing $750,000 annually to a national promotion program and spending another million dollars within the association to promote pine use.

Seethoff urged lumbermen to spend more money in research to seek new advances in wood technology. The lumber industry spends a "woeful 1.3 per cent" on research, far below the national averages of 3 per cent for all industries, he said.

Other lumbermen who highlighted the evening's program were Knox Marshall, forestry engineer with Western Pine Association; Chester Hinshaw, divisional manager of the Western Retail Division of the Diamond National Corp.; and Richard A. Colgan. retired president of Shasta F'orests Co.

Lumbermen from Los Aneeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 ioined with Orange County Shriners last ironth to play host to a group of 16 youngsters from LeRoy Boys Home in LaVerne, Calif., for a National Forest Products Week luncheon.

A group of more than I00 men and boys gathered at the Palms Hawaiian Village in Fullerton, Calif., for the buffet luncheon, highlighted by polka music from the Shrine German Band. Guest speaker LeRoy Haines, headmaster of the boys home, told the group oI his work with the boys during his 22 years at the home.

The house was designed to eliminate all costly offsets in th-e roof construction, Two simple gables cover both the garage and house, This style of roof is not only economical to construct but makes the house appear much larger. False beams project from the gables which combine with the vertical siding, stone planters and deep louver windows to form an exciting and impressive modern ranch exterior.

The entry is well protected by a covered porch. The fourth bedroom or den is accessible from the entry. This is a lvonderful location for an office, bedroom for an older child or relative, TV room or a private suite for mother and dad.

The three-quarter bath serves two purposes by being available from both the den and the service. This eliminates the necessity for an additional bath. The family bath is located in the bedroom

A Cali{ornia Lumber Merchant Picture Story

Our thanks to the Caliiornia Redwood Association for their permission to let us reprint this material

HE monkey in bas relief at right was carved with hammer and chisel by Masaharu Hayashi, youngest member of a family of artisans who have been designing and building temples for four generations. Masaharu, his elder brother Yoshitaka, and their father Minematsu have just completed the Hawaii Ishizuchi Jinsha Shrine in Honolulu, on the site of an earlier wooden temple which stood for 50 years. The Hayashis carried the con. struction through from creating the designs and selecting the redwood and Douglas fir to erection with the help of members of the congregation.

This shrine for shinto worship in the United States is built in the age-old manner of Japanese carpentry. Joints are mortise and tenon. There are no nails at all, and the few bolts are carefully concealed. Ornamental metal protects the ends of the beams. Throughout the temple the wood is finished naturally, with a clear water repellent treatment. The posts and beams were smoothed with razor sharp chisels and planes; no sandpaper was used. The temple is the first building the Hayashi family has built in Hawaii. It is an example of the Stateos growing awareness of its importance as a center of Pacific culture.

Pole-type construction provides Sequoia with efficient, economical new facilities at Orange, Galif.

It's a unique plant-the new 10-building complex of Sequoia Forest fndustries built at Orange, Calif. It's permanent and pretty. It's efficient. And construction economies were outstanding. How did Sequoia obtain this combination of advantages? r All of the buildings are of pole-ty pe construc tion. Nine of them were erected by the Pole Building Construction Department of Koppers Company, fnc., using Koppers Cellon*-treated poles. This treatrnent provides permanent protection from attack by decay and termites, and leaves the surface so clean that Sequoia painted the poles in attractive hues. I For three manufacturing buildings, Koppers Unit Structures Department furnished laminated beams-some 80 feet long. By use of these, Sequoia eliminated center poles, providing unrestricted working space. Koppers Pole Building Construction Department has headquarters in Los Angeles-works anywhere in the West. I Koppers wood preserving plants are strategically located in California and Oregon. If your firm is expanding or replacing outmoded buildings, and you want new buildings with permanency, beauty and efficiency-at cost savings of up to 40/6 over conventional construction,-it will pay you to contact Koppers Wood Preserving Division at one of the offices listed below. We'll gladly consult with you-help you design your buildings.

Continued Home lmprovement Promotion Plqnned ior 1964

A permanent trade and consumer promotion program to stimulate remodeling activity countrywide has been announced by the National Home lmprovement Council.

Called Home Improvement Time, it replaces Home Improvement Year which concludes at the end of 1963 and will continue the promotional momentum begun by the Year. The new program will start January lst, 1964 and will be a continuing effort to encourage American home owners to fix-up their dwellings. Be Wise-Modernize will remain as the official slogan of the permanent Home Improvement Time program.

NHIC plans general trade and consumer publicity and advertising as well as a stepped-up schedule of consumer "How To Improve Your Home" Schools and other events as part of Home Improvement Time. At the trade level dealers and contractors will be encouraged to increase their advertising and promotiort efiorts to attract more consumer spending to modernization.

In announcing the new program, a Council spokesman said, "We believe that U. S. Government statistics, when released next year, will show 1963 remodeling expenditures to be substantially higher than 1962 outlays, due to the Year activities. But the Council feels that not enough money is yet being spent on the home in compadson to experrditures for nerv cars, luxury-vacations and the like.

ITS BEAUTY IS AGED -IN.TI{E -WOOD:

AN EXCLUSIVE REPORT Long Ronge Effects On All levels Seen After Two IndustrY Meetings

During one week this fall two organizations important to- all levels of the industry met in Washington, D'C. to work on plans and programs which will have long range effects on everyone connected with forest products.

First meeting was thl Sth American Forestry Congress (the first in 10 (?) years), sponsored by the American Forestry Association. The Congress was called to review the progress of national {orestry programs and develop long range plans for American forests. En"tlon" with an inteiest in our only renewable natural resource was given an opportunity to express their views in a forum that commands respect and attention.

Papers were given by, ( I ) Cabinet Members, (2) Forest Service Personnel, (3) lumber company spokesmen, (4) private tree farm operators, (5) representatives of farmer's wood lots, (6) stock and grazing interests, (7) mining interests, (B) water conservationists, (9) chemical spray people, (10) fish and wildlife representa' tives, (ll) recreation advocates, (12) multiple use proponents, (13) fire fighters and just plain old-fashioned conservationists. It gives you and idea of who is interested in our foresl..

What interested us most was the change in the meaning of the word, "conservationist" from the time of Gifford Pinchot and Teddy Roosevelt. Then it ms4n1-"3hs man to eave the foreet from the lumber baron, its despoiler." Today the woril implies ooone who is interested in the complete (multiple) use of forest lands for the benefit of all." Public and private foresters alike recognize that our forests must be managed primarily for their products, which in turn pay for the other uses to which the land must be put to make it most productive--water conservation, fish and wildlife protection, grazing, recreation and of course most importantly-the growing of new trees. We lumbermen would do well to understand this point of view.

The latter part of the week was devoted to a meeting of the American Forest Products Industries, Inc. This organization is made up largely of private owners of forest lands many of whom are also producers. Its purpose is to foster the multiple use of forest lands by means of the tree farm program which it began. Growing out of this have come many activities to bring an understanding of the forest, its uses and its products, to the public. American Forest Products Industries have an education program for schools which has been very efiective. They carry on information meetings with womens groups. 'oSrnokey the Bear" is a creature of A.F.P.I., as are many national, state and local groups, devoted to educating the public to the place of the forest industries in their daily lives. This is a well conceived, well-run organization that is doing a fine grass roots job for the lumber industry. Ve should know more about it, and help support it.

LMA Hosts Two-Day Dealer Clinic

Thirty-three owners and key personnel from 30 leading northern California lum' ber and building material firms attended the Harper Mitcheil Two-Day Dealer Clinic on store layout, product display and cus' tomer service. Held at the Hacienda Motel in Fresno, October 16-17, it was sponsored by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, and drew LMA members from as far south as Bakersfield, and as far north as Redding and Chico.

While Mitchell has presented his excellent program in other regions of the country, the Fresno clinic marks his first ap-

pearance at an association-sponsored meet' ing in California. And an excellent entry it was too.

Throughout the two-day meeting, clinic participants were shown how to evaluate their present sales methods and facilities, how to plan more eflective use of available store and warehouse space, and how to utilize modern methods of product display and customer service.

Jack Pomeroy, executive vice-president of LMA, points out that l\Iitchell is the only store planning consultant in the nation who has worked exclusively in retail

building materials for the Past ten years. l\{itchell's layout and display designs for new stores, and his methods of converting existing facilities into first-rate merchandising establishments have won him the praise and recommendation of clients from all quarters of the country.

The Harper Mitchell Clinic again points out the many benefits of membership in the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California. Besides the education function, LMA ofiers its dealer-members a wide variety of management aids, service pro(Continued, on Page 101)

Revitalized Valley Frolic

Two hundred lumbermen attended a re' vitalized Valley Frolic at the Fort Washington Golf Club in Fresno. The turnout, a record in recent yearso attests to the grow' ing popularity of the annual event. But more than that, it points to the good teamwork of the l6th Annual Valley Frolic committeemen.

Chairman of this year's Frolic was vet' eran "Valley Cat"Bud Barber; recordticket sales were handled by Craig Gaffney and his staff, and the finance department was headed by Bob Schlotthauer. The bowling

tournament was coordinated by Glen Bar' ber, and Marion Snead once again ran the big golf tournament. Entertainment (which was excellent) was under the direction of Don Walker.

In tJre bowling fivision, the first four places went to Carl Wisner, Glen Barber, Roger Marsh and Jim Hopkins.

Ed Wolters came through with the low gross in the gol{ tournament, and Gary Johnson was the low net finisher' Bob Abbott copped the prize money for the

You would not, I am sure, want me to come to Los Angeles and make an innocuous presentation of platitudes, and avoid discussion of the most important issues of the day!

I have stated publicly that I believe that industry-wide lumber standards afiord the most realistic single means for this industry to recover markets, profits and hope for the future. I don't propose to withdraw from that position.here or anywhere . any lumberman who resists tbe improvernent of our marketing position by lvorking against the adoption of meaningful softwood lumber standards is, in my opinion, headed for the bench; and the player who replaces him on the field will not even be from the lumber team. He will most likely be representing steel, aluminum, concrete, brick or plastic.

'fhese may strike you as harsh lvords, and I am sorry if they do, but the tirne Ior pussyfooting is over in this industry. We who are advocating the emergence of our industry from a provincial, segmented, floundering state into a modern, efficient, truly competitive' position are determined to be heard. I might add that we are determined to prevail on the lumber size standard issue and on others of equal moment extending all the way frorn land use through revolutionizing of construction techniques.

Before proceeding, I want to make clear that despite the fact that I am an ardent supporter of the new lumber size standard, I am a producer of green studs.

However. the law of economics wields a tremendous influence in the forest management aspects of our industry. If we don't sell the product emerging from these trees we value so highly, we will be unable to plant more of them or even to protect the ones we have.

It is a fact that the money for forest management comes from product sales.

Product sales depend upon customer acceptance and satisfaction.

Today's customer demands value for his dollar; he demands and deserves a dollar's worth of service for every dollar of invest. ment in a product. If he fails to get either value or service, he will inevitably turn to a product which will provide them tcr him.

In a nutshell this is the premise upon which the lumber size standard controversy hinges. The question is whether the lumber industry will continue to manufacture products in a fashion convenient to itself or whether it will manufacture a product acceptable to the consumer. If it chooses to do the former it will not lons have to be concerned about the Iatter I (Continued, on Page 78)

RESOTUTIONS

Resolutions approved by the NLMA board of directors:

(1) Asked the National Wood Promotion Committee to develop plans for a program to implement and promote proposed new grade and size standards for softwood lumber. The resolution calls for the program to be activated as soon as the size proposals win Commerce Department approval. The board also asked NLMA's

federated associations to join in putting the new standards into efiect immediately upon Commerce Department sanction.

(2) Called on Congress and the Budget Bureau to meet the "urgent need" for modernization and expansion of wood utilization research facilities at the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, as one means of halting the decline in per capita consumption of lumber and other forest products.

(3) Proposed to strengthen the lumber industry's fire insurance rate activities by asking the building code task groups of various local-level wood promotion committees to help in overcoming local fire insurance problems.

(4) Provided for expansion of the industry's FACTS (Federal and Community Timber Supply) Program to include "other industry problems of community concern." NLMA directors also switched the financing of this program from voluntary contributions to regular association dues.

(5) Asked the Administration to permit industry representatives to discuss "an appropriate and reasonable share of the U. S. market for Canadian softwood lumber" during a proposed conference between U. S. and Canadian officials and lumbermen from both countries.

Philippine Officiols qnd IHPA Discuss MutuEl Trode Problems

Officers of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association, headed by association president Eric Wagrrer, Del Valle, Kahman & Co., met with Philippine Department of Commerce and Industry Sec' retary Cornelio Balmaceda of Manila, at the St. Francis Hotel in November, to discuss plywood imports from the Philippines.

The U.S. import group stressed the need for renewed confidence and increased trade with Philippine suppliers, noting that certain Philippine trade practices have seriously undermined the importers', and more important, the U.S. consumers' confidence in plywood originating from the Philippine Islands.

In a spirit of mutual cooperation, the IHPA group outlined the four major trouble areas affecting present trade relations:

"Informality" and failure of some Philippine suppliers to live up to the terms of delivery contracts topped the list.

Overlapping and contradictory export grading rules also came under fire. Philippine plywood is presendyexportedunder avariety of often-conflicting rules, some suppliers shipping under their own grade mark, or the recently established "Export Standard for Phil' ippine Hardwood Plywood." Further, in the American market confusion is compounded by some importers buying under their own grade ruleg or U.S. Commercial Standards CS 35-61. The use of one uniform set of export grading rules by all exporters was termed "essential" by the IHPA group.

Improper packing was listed as another major complaint, both for plywood and veneer. .As this has reulted in numerous and heavy claims, considerable concern has been evidenced by U.S. companies insuring these shipments from the Philippines.

Along with the need for a uniform set of export grading rules, the IHPA group also stressed the need for enforced quality control, noting Philippine plywood shipments continue to show a lack of consistent quality in accordance with the grade specified in importerst orders.

The Philippine Department of Commerce and Industry Secretary was joined in the meeting by Jose de los Reyes, Philippine Com' mercial Attache, San Francisco.

Building Code Victory

The lumber industry won an important victory this month when the International Conference of Building Officials accepted 15 NlMA-sponsored or supported recommendations to its Uniform Building Code. The Code covers some I,000 citics in the Mid-West and West.

Among these recommendations were those requesting: (l) the use of fire-retardant treated wood for l-hour permanent nonbearing partitions in Types I (fire resistive), II (fire-resistive) and IV (noncombustible) buildings; (2) the use of fire retardant treated wood for suspended ceilings in Type III (ordinary) and V (wood frame) buildings, and for one-hour permanent nonbearing partitions in Types I, II, and IV buildings; (3) the external use of heavy timber columns and arches in Type III buildings; and (4) the approval of pole type buildings and de' sign criteria; (5) another amendment established deflection cri' teria for all types of construction. Formerly, only wood was so restricted.

The acceptance of these amendments has a two-fold meaning for the industry. By allowing fire-retardant treated wood for such items as studs in partitions and suspended ceilings, a whole new market can be opened up for lumber and wood products in several mid-western and western states' By eliminating or modi' fying unduly restrictive code requirements against such things as deflection criteria and construction of pole'type buildings, lumber and wood products in those states will now be placed in a more equitable position with competitive materials.

Len Crofoot and associates have recently purchased Arizona Hardwoods from E. J. Stanton & Son, Inc. Crofoot will head up the wholesale distribution center.

Christmas Can bethe Dealers' Most Profitable Season

The nation's department stores on the average do lo/o of their annual sales during the Christmas season. As the department store of building why shouldn't the lumber dealer do likewise?

Historically dealer sales slump in this period and the industry loses a disastrow share oI the consumers expendable dollars. This sad situation is completely unnecessary.

All that is ireeded {or the dealer to do is to merchandise, promote and advertise his advantages over all other sources of Christmas gifts.

The dealer who does so will not only overcome his winter slump, but will get doubled profits because he has passed his break-even point for the year and every dollar of created sales beyond his normal expectancy brings an extra dollar of profit beyond normal equivalent to his fixed expenses.

Fi;,;,,; To capitalize on this exceptional oppori i tunity for extra sales and profits will require thoughtful planning and painstaking organization.

Here are some suggested step-by-step

by John H. Ryder

procedures in making December the most profitable month of the year:

Set a sales budget a little larger than your best month.

Appropriate 4/o of that amount for Christmas advertising.

Hold an organization meeting to get every one on the payroll on their toes, creating ideas, imbued with a sustained drive and enthusiasm.

Put on a holiday dress. The store, the yard, trucks, windows, displays, facilities should all feature the holiday spirit. It is not a bad idea to have Christmas-motif uniforms for employees. This is a crash program. Provide Christmas shopping bags. Have short, daily meetings of employees to sustain the enthusiasm and drive. Seek creative ideas daily. Establish contests and incentives among employees for gift sales.

Invite choral groups to sing in your store at peak traffic hours.

Ofier day-before-Christmas or Christmasmorning deliveries. Provide Christmas gift certificates in dollar amounts to give the gift recipient freedom of choice as to purchases. Provide Christmas sift certificates

for specific items to be delivered later-viz. a modern kitchen, family room, extra bathroom, etc.

Solicit from suppliers toys and other Christmas goods to be sold on a consignment basis with understanding that you will pay only for what you sell and the balance will be picked up by the supplier after Christmas.

Where practical: wrap o'samples" of every item on the Christmas gift list in cellophane and Christmas ribbons; display these in strategic spots to promote impulse buying. (Small model homes could be so wrapped.)

Prepare all advertising to (l) acquaint your public with the hundreds of gifts they can buy from you, (2) bring them into your store to see your gift display, and (3) tell your story of buy now, pay later. Emphasize "Let's make this a practical Christmas-getting extra value and satisfaction from this year's family gifts." Get out a special Christmas apreciation letter to all your past customers and enclose a list of the gift items shown in the box.

Thirty-five men were immediately affected by the closureo with about 15 more involved as the planing departmeft of the mill finishes processing rough lumber currently on hand.

According to Snellstrom, the sawmill, built many years ago, has been obsolete for some time and is no longer economically feasible. Serious consideration is being given by the company to utilization oI raw materials not suitabb for plywood, and a definite announcement of a program is anticipated. The constantly increasing ability of the plywood plant to use a higher percentage of the logs coming to the operation, sai,rmill activity has become an essentially salvage process and former methods are no longer practicable, according to the cbmpany.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Concat

A lumberman's hard hat and checkered shirt was the uniform of the day when [,os Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 combined their October Concat with a kick-off dinner for the fourth annual National Forest Products Week.

The dinner topped a day of relaxation that had begun that morning at 10:29, teeoff time. Despite an early morning rain. 34 golfers turned out to play the slightly soggy Los Coyotes C.C. greens. No electric carts were allowed after the rain and more than a few moans were heard from

some of the Hoo-Hoo unaccustomed to hoofing it.

The five kittens who became black cats via the o-so.solemn ritual of initiation were Stanley Mago, Henry lVestcott, Pat Reagan, Gordon Mann and Dennis Dahl. Tarter, Webster & Johnson have claim to the first four, Hexberg Lumber to Dennis Dahl.

In what was probably the high point of the entire day, Ken Coleman, with the solemnity befitting the occasion, awarded Don Johnson the Oleander Bush award.

When the golf trophies were given after dinner Ken Kenofiel's 78 won him a second leg on the California Door Co. low gross trophy. Others with two up are Fred Smith and Jerry Hyink. Jim Bolte nabbed the low net prize.

In the First Flight: Jim Bolte and Gene Burnett. Second Flight: Chuck Lacy and Joe Hall. Third Flight: Walt Smith. Bill Randall claimed low net guest and Don Vogt the low gross guest. Best Hacker went to Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club two's president Wally Lingo.

Wood Scientists Conduct Seminqr

University of California forest products scientists were hosts recently at an international seminar on wood machining, designed to bring the West Coast wood industry and wood products researchers up to date on European advances in their field.

Dr. Fred E. Dickinson, director of the UC Forest Products Laboratory at Richmondo where sessions were held, said financial aid from the industry helped bring six leading wood scientists from Europe and England for the two-day conference.

Technologists from wood industries in Washington and British Columbia as well as California took part in the seminar.

Their discussions covered methods of collaboration in wood machining research, sawing accuracy and variations with sawing methods, studies on circular sawing, noise suppression, stress distribution and stability with gang-saw blades; tooth wear and its importance for knowledge of the cutting process, and vibration and rigidity studies as related to machine tools and cutters.

Others attending representing both industry and research agencies, included Charles Berolzheimer and Fred Salemme, California Cedar Products Company, Stockton; Wayne Bennet, Weyerhaeuser Company, Longview, Washington; Myron Bird and Warren Bird. California Saw, Knife & Grinding, Inc., San Francisco; Robert Blumenstein, Kimberly Clark Corporation, Anderson, Calif.; Victor I!. Clausen, Simpson Timber Company, Bellevue, Washington; Richard Kamrath, U.S. Plywood Corporation, Anderson, Calif.; Willard E. Pratt, Arcata Redwood Company, Arcata, Calif.; Curtis.C. Peters, U.S. Forest Products laboratory, Madison, Wis.; Dr. Eugene L. Bryan, The Black Clawson Company, Everett, W'ash.; M. D. Strickler, Washington State University, Pullman; Lee Moffett, American Forest Products Corporation, Stockton; Herbert Sears, Diamond National Corporation, Chico; Dr. Francis O. Whipple, Crown Zellerbach Building Ma' terials, Vancouvero B.C.; and K. S. Strobel, Veyerhaeuser Corporation, Everett, IVash.

After the seminar, the European scientists visited the plants and logging operations of the Union Lumber Company at Fort Bragg, the plant and research laboratories of the California Cedar Products Company at Stockton, the plant and logging operations of the Winton Lumber Company at Martell, and the plant of Calmills. Inc." at Pine Grove.

Wood Chosen For School

For the first time in 40 years the Houston, Texas, Independent School District, sixth largest in the U. S., has a school constructed of heavy timber.

This break-through for wood construction in that area came primarily because oI economy ol consl,ruction and low mainten' ance. Houston school officials have been quoted as saying that both initiallv and on a 30-year basis. the new school is more economical than other schools designed with competitive materials, and will cost less, based on a number of factors such as insurance and interest payments.

Interest in heavy-timber schools is apparently on the increase in that area since three additional heavy timber schools are scheduled to be built this year.

Potent,Dispute Set?led

Pacific Wood Products Company has announced that its patent infringement suit against Simpson Timber Company had been settled and dismissed on November 4, 1963. Simpson has been licensed by Pacific Wood Products to produce its Ruf-Sawn siding under U.S. Patent No. 2,958,352. Cloverdale Plywood Company is licensed to produce its Ply-Sawn siding under the same Pacific Wood Products patent.

Hoo-Hoo Annuql Meeting Plons Greqfer Wood Promotion Work

Important planning in more Hoo-Hoo participation in Wood Promotion was considered by the Board of Directors at its annual meeting held in Chicago, in November. Newly elected President John Hickey, presided.

In line with its sponsorship of National Forest Products Week. the President will issue invitations to selected industry associatiOns to participate in the National Wood Promotion Policy Committee, chaired by Hoo-Hoo, in planning promotion activity on a year round basis, with NFPW serving as public relations climax.

The Board again voted to continue the intensive efforts inaugurated by'ooperation-Field-Man" and authorized expenditure. evidence of the serious plans for Wood Promotion on a local level by Hoo-Hoo Clubs, and its objective to cooperate and complement the work of all of the Trade Associations.

The Field Man, Robert B. Holder was formally named Administrative Assistant.

In the interest of public relations and publicity, it was decided to eliminate the word "concatenated" from the title of the Order. It will be known as the International Order of Hoo-Hoo. The change will not afiect the corporate name o{ the Organization. There is no objection to the use by the trade of the still shorter title - Hoo-Hoo International.

The Board approved a membership and reinstatement drive and recommended a broadening of elibigility, requiring a change in the by-laws, to include those employees of the Pulp and Paper Industry responsible for the harvest and processing of wood.

Secretary Ben Springer has announced that he was planning to retire. By unanimous request of the Board, however, he agreed to serve until the end of the fiscal year in 1964. The Board also recommended that consideration be eiven to retain his services on a consultant basis.

Bull, one of the leading designers of second homes, has created a single wall cabin i im a three foot module. Eighteen feet wide, the cabin can be made as long as the owner desires by the addition of modular wall and roof components. The specially designed roof timbers are to be milled from two-by-

Supporf Asked for Nqtionol Wood Council To Give it Reol Voice in Wood Promolion

The National Wood Council was formed in 1959 to inform its members of the objectives, scope and details of the National Wood Promotion Program and assure that wood promotion funds are used to maximum effectiveness with a minimum of duplication. It also acts as an advisory agency in recommending new wood promotion programs and supplements and strengthens existing programs.

Membership-the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and groups, organizations or associations interested in the promotion of wood. Currently fifty-nine groups are members of the National Wood Council, starting with the Alabama Forest Products Association, ranging through such outfits as the National Wooden Pallet Manufacturers Association to the Woodwork Institute of California.

Financing has been provided by voluntary contributions by members, supplemented by an approximate $35,0O0 yearly srbsidy from National Lumber Manufacturers Asqociation. Principal accomplishment to date has been the formation of local Wood Councils and Lumber JAC groups. Tom Gallagher of the Albuquerque Lumber Merchandisers Association is the current chairman.

At their recent meeting, Gallagher called on the group to make up its mind whether it wanted to sit and be fed (and thus controlled) by National Lumber Manufacturers Associaticn, or if it wanted to bedome a real factor in wood promotion, even if only in an advisory capacity. A representative committee of five was formed to rev{tw ictivities and recommend a program at the next National Wood Council meeting in Portland, Oregon, in the first week of May, l9M.

To us this is a vitally important step, which rnight well eventually change the whole thinking on wood promotion. We feel it will give a real voice in this essential acfivity to overvone concerned with, and interested in, its planni"g and implementation.

California organizations, and others with California membership, who are Council members include:

Bay Area W'ood Council, San Francisco, Calif.-A. D. Bell, Jr.

International Hoo-Hoo, Milwaukee, Wis.-Bob Holder

Lumber Association of Southern California. Los Anseles-Bob [,eishman

What part in this does the $53.7 million of Japanese produced hardwood plywood,

At the bottom o{ the domestic hardwood plywood pricing structure were Gum and Poplar, but these were not truly decorative hardwoods. They painted beautifully, but the variation of color in a Gum panel was a bar to successful penetration into the wall paneling market for natural finish.

TV experiments in plastic cabinets flopped. TV and the radio industry found that music sounded better if it came out of a resonant plywood cabinet.

Clinking and clanging out of kitchens across America" came the noise in complaint of metal cabinet doors, which when damaged had to be taken to an auto fender shop for repairs.

In Japan, the U. S. Corps of Engineers needed plywood for the Korean War. They

wrote specifications for plywood to be produced in Japan. With this start, and in consultation with imaginative importers versed in plywood and American markets, there developed the new American flush door industry and mass wall-panel usage; panel V-grooving to give a rich plank ef' fect; prefinishing for the do-it-yourself (and later the mass home builder), and with this, the Japanese industry guided by the American importer, pioneered the decorative panels that found mass market acceptability.

This created a market demand which in turn stimulated construction of mills in the Philippines, Formosa (Taiwan) and Korea, contributing substantially to the economy, dollar-earning and purchasing capacities of these countries.

Los Angeles Club Relaxes At Apple Valley Weekend

V'hen V'ally Lingo took over as president of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo he said that he wanted to stress the social aspect of the fraternity.

If the recent family weekend at Apple Valley, Calif. is any indication, the club will have a pleasant year ahead.

The weekend, with 32 couples attend-

ing was a relaxed and casual get-awayfrom.it-all that le{t it mainly up to the members to pick their form of fun. Even our trusty camera decided to take the weekend ofi, which is why we have no pictures to accompany this report.

evening'd dinner'dance. Door prizes and golf trophies were given out following the dinner.

Apple Valley, a High-desert resort 95 miles northeast of Los Angeles on the road to Las Vegas, is well known for its 18hole championship layout, home course of former U.S. Open stars Lloyd Mangrum and Billy Casper, Jr.

But the star of t}e course on this weekend was Don Gow. For four years Don has been the golf chairman for club and has put in all the hard work that has made club's golf matches such a success, but hasn't won a trophy.

This time Don came on like gangbusters, making it a clean sweep by picking up both the low gross and low net cups with a 78. The breakdown was 3 birdies, 3 double bogies and a handicep of l'5. Just one point behind was Ed Difani.

Norm Wendell headed the column in the First Flight with 67. Second place was a tie at 68 between Bud Nelson and Charlie Strait. Second Flight honors were grabbed by Ed DiFani with 64. Frank Quattrocchi was second with 69.

Third Flight was another tie. Hugh Hurth and Seth Potter both broke through the wire with 68.

The Saturday night, November 9, banquet dinner was nicely free from the alltoo frequent long-droning after dinner speakers. Following dessert, President Wally made a few short remarks and then turned the meeting over to the awarding of the golf trophies.

Frank Quattrocchi then drew the door prize stubs and presented the prizes to the lucky ones. A bow of thanks is due the generous firms who donated the prizes: Barr Lumber Company, Santa Ana; frarned Lumber Company, Hermosa Beach and Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Los Aneeles.

Two weeks were spent in the wilds of ldaho by Ed Dursteler. Van Nuys lumberman (above), and a grcup of friendi on a re-cent hunting safari. They packed in from Boise to Soldiers Mountain via horse power and came out eight days later with four Elk, six Detr and a good irowth of beard. Included in the party: Walt Hamilton, Swede Erickson, George Head, Iack Stefko and Bill Burns, all well known in the business.

GlusrlNA's ur' NFPW SPEECH

i , (Continued, lrorn Page 30)

there won't be any consumer for structural . lumber.

I must comment for a moment that the . lumber size standard proposition has met , with no greater resistance than from some here in Southern California' This is com. pletely understandable when one considers two factors:

(I) this is a prime market for unseasoned lumber; and '

(.2) opponents of the standard have ' asserted that the new standard will eliminate the substantial existine market for ungeasoned dimension and b6ards.

The first situation, I am certain, will not change. Southern California will continue ' to be a prime market for unseasoned lumber. The second assertion is patently incorrect. There is nothing in the proposed size revision which would tend to elinrinate the market for unseasoned lumber. Lunrber is sold on price and since unseasoned producers need not add the cost of kiln drying

to their price per thousand, ur,r.ororrd lumber will continue to enjoy a lower price and a ready market. Freight advantages which will accrue to dry shippers pertain mainly in long distance rail shipments, such as from Oregon to the East, and even

then they amount to less than half o{ the cost of drying per thousand board feet.

The ready availability of unseasotted lumber, its lorver price, and history o{ performance in its market areas will assure continued dernand for this product by builders who are familiar with its use and suitability for their own operations.

As a matter of actual fact" the assurance that architects, builders and specifiers will irave that unseasoned lumber will attain a standard dimension in place may well serve to increase the unseasoned market rather than diminishing it.

PROPOSED % BOARD

Considerable fear has been expressed in this area regarding the acceptability of the proposed new 5/g-inch board for sheathing and subflooring by FHA and the codes. As with any attempt to make a product more competitive, we are bound to experience some code and specification problems. Of all industries, however, we are probably best equipped to handle situations of this type. The NLMA code stafi is well trained and competent. Our staff will be using data resulting from tests at three different laboratories which amply prove the adequacy of the 5/6-inch board. Copies of this report have been made available to the Lumber Association of Southern C,alifornia.

Of even greater importance, however, is the need for lumbermen in the area to essist in code work and join with the NLMA code man in the area in seeking acceptance of the new sizes. It has been most disappointing to us to note that some in this region who have opposed the nerv sizes because of a fear that the codes would not accept the 5/a" board have actually appeared to try to stimulate such an attitude on the part of building officials.

The key to marketing is, I repeat, customer satisfaction and to achieve customer satisfaction these days builders must meet close tolerances imposed by technical advances in other supplyiug industries. If lumber is to compete efiectively with nraterials which can be extruded, rolled, cast and machined to precise dimensions, the lumber manufacturer must provide a lrroduct marked by similar dimenu,."i'al stability, the same close tolerances to size and strength relationships, and the same simplicity and economy of purchase.

We like to contemplate our forest management practices here in the United States. Our foresters are doing a magrrificent job and are winning wider respect for the tremendous service they render not only the companies which hire them but the national interest as well.

tection of our forests give us good cause to look with satisfaction upon them. California, as a matter of fact, can iake particular pride in this regard since it employs more people in forest management activities than any other state.

And yet, despite their notable accom. plishments, we still occasionally hear doleful laments from some quarters which should know better. They are the vocal advocates of fun, fish, fowl, and {odder who recognize no economic values in the woods but consider our forest their private patio for the entertainment of thernselves and their friends.

The practice of locking up lands which have economic value to the United States

is a threat to true conservation which implies converting natural resource treasures to the use of man and restoring them for the benefit of future generations. Modern forestry practices can perpetuate this cycle of use and replenishment on lands to which foresters have access. Prohibiting foresters from managing forest lands is like refusing to admit an elephant to a circus. What is a circus without an elephant. What is a forest without a forester.

And even on the public lands which are administered for the express purpose of providing timber to meet the needs of a^ll the people, we are plagued by unreasoning regulations, excessive road requirements, constructing contractual clauses. and sim-

ilar deterrents to profit and prosperity. Let me make it clear that our industry has received cooperation from the present Secretary of Ag;riculture, Orville Freeman, in resolving these fundamental issues. But there is still a long way to go before the timber industries are freed from bearing the financial burden of providing for the many uses of the National Forests and it is to this question that the Secretary and the Administration must address themselves.

Those of vou who have no direct responsibility for forest management or mill management might inquire, "Well, what can I do to ofiset these inequities. Where do I fit into the picture"

Drop in Remodeling Business Seen bv Proposed Changes

Homeowners will be paying higher interest rates on money borrowed for home improvement and remodeling if a new proposed FHA regulation is enacted, according to Richard R. White, executive director of the National Established Repair, Service, and Improvement Contractors Association (NERSICA).

The National Home Improvement Counhas also expressed opposition to the

proposed change in FHA Title I regulations which, Council officials said, o'will hamstring the development of the remodeling industry."

IIERSICA has lodged an official protest with Commissioner P.N. Brorvnstein at the FHA in Washington, D.C.

The new regulation will require a borrower to appear at the office of rhe lending institution to sign a completion certificate

on any remodeling work where the amount borrowed is in excess of $2,000. 'fhe certificate must be signed at the institution, in the presence of an officer of the lelding institution.

Current trade practice is {or the completion certificate to be signed by the homeowner in his own home, after the job has been completed to his satisfaction, and give it to the contractor, The contractor, in turno delivers it to the lending institution.

According to Mr. White, the new regulation will impose inconveniences and hardships on both consumers and industry members, It will, of corlrse, require the home owner to make a speoial trip to the Iending institution. While this may be a minor hardship or inconvenience in urban areas, it can require a trip of as much as 250 miles in some areas, Mr. White said.

He cited a protest from contractors iu NERSICA's Portland (Oregon) Council. There, Council President Howard Fentolr stated that it was not uncommon for contractor members to perform remodeling jobs 250 miles from Portland, but that notes were cleared through Portland banks. It is ridiculous to think that a homeou'ner would embark upon a 250 mile trip to sign a note. Fenton said.

X'Ir. White added that contractor members all across the country reportecl jobs beine done 50 and more miles from the location of the lending institution as part of their normal operation. Regardless of the number of miles, White said, it is an imposition on the borrolver, the horneowner, and it fails to provide him with any bencfit'

The regulation, he continued. rvould add another rvork burden to the lending institution-more paperwork, mors records, the setting up of appointments for signing, etc.--and would certainly serve to disrupt the activities and business of the :ontractor. Contractors and remodelers would have to wait longer for their money. Fur' ther, industry members leel this regnla' tion will serve to depress business in the home remodeling industry.

"The contractor may have to divert the homeowner, the prospective job buyer, to sources of higher interest on loans," ML. White said. 'oThis regulation applies to money borrowed under FHA Titlc I, and such money is available to consumers at a lower rate than normal bank rates. 'Ihe bank rate on such loans is about one ciollar more per hundred, per year.

t'To protect their business. contractors rvill seek to arrange for this higher financing rate," Mr, Ilrhite continuer]. ooon a $2,500 improvement job, with say 10 years to pay, this will cost the homeowner (at $I more per $100 per year) another $250. And this, I believe, is a minimum quotation-the actual costs to consumers will be far more than that on the average."

Junior Logging Conference Chief Nomed

John Mayfield, Jr., manager of Mendo Mill and Lumber (lonr' pany, Ukiah, has been appointed cl.rairman of the 1964 Junior I-ogging Conference, sponsored hy the Redwood Region Conservation Council.

In making the appointment, Bernard J. Vaughn, RRCC president stated, "we are very fortunate to have a man with John Mayfield's experience to conduct the Junior Logging Conference." Since the first Junior Logging Conference in 1953, which Mav' field attended as a student, he has since worked on all the Junior Logging Conferences up to 1961, when the conference was held in the northern part of the state.

Mendocino Woodlands, near Fort Bragg, will be the location for the l2th Junior Logging Conference to be held in the spring ol 1964, with the date to be announced' Mayfield is married, and resides in Ukiah with his n'ife. San' dra, and their two children. While attending Humboldt State College he majored in business and chose forestry as his minor' After sraduation from collese in 1958 he served as an RRCC Field frepresentative out o{ Eureka. In 1960 he became mana' ser of the International Woods Products Corporation, Fields Land' ine. Later he was manager of Mendo Mill and Lumber Companl', in Ukiah.

The purpose of the RRCC Junior Logging Conference is to provide an opportunity for students enrolled in high sch-ool foresiry to gain knowledge of how the {orest industries conduct their operations in the woods and mills. The conference offers demot'rstrations and discussions of logging operations, industrial safetv, equipment use and maintenance, mill operation, and forest man' agement.

Dome lond Wild Areq Set Aside

About 62,500 acres of rugged mountain land within the Sequoia National Forest in California have been established as the Dome Land Wild Area by Forest Service Chief Edward P. Clifi, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has annouced.

S"q.toiu National Forest is in south central California, east o{ Bakersfield and Fresno.

Establishment of the wild area followed advertised public notice of the proposal and a public hearing in Bakersfield a year ago' Publicsutstantially supported the Forest Service proposal, U.S.D.A. contended.

(The Forest Service designation "W'ild" and "Wilderness" area are identical in purpose uttd rnunug"rnent, and difier only in that a wild u."u -r,it be under 100,000 acres in size and may be designated by the Chief of the Forest Service, while a wilderness area-containi *o." than 100,000 acres and is established bv the Secretary of Agriculture.)

United Wholesole ExPonsion

Maynard Hallady' chief executive of United Wholesale Lumber Co., has urrnorr.t."J the move of their distribution yard to 1200 Mines Ave., Montebello, California. This new facility was formerly the location of Fern Trucking Co.

"Our plans for the future call for additional expansion in order to offer a wholesale service to retail lumber dealers that is second to none," said Halladay.

Covered storage area has been increased to handle more than two and one half million board feet of dry stock which is im' mediately available to retail dealers throughout the southern California trade area. Modern new milling facilities for customer service have been installed and a l0 car spur is located on the property for receiving and shipping via rail.

Overoll Cost of Floor Froming Systems Studied by Reseorchers

The overall cost of floor flaming systems using half-inch plywood subflooring over joist framing was substantially lower than for other systems studied for use tnder 25/32-inch strip flooring, according to data gathered by the University of lllinois Small Homes Council-Building Research Council.

The comprehensive labor and material cost study of five wood floor construction systems was sponsored by Lumber Dealers Research Council ui on" of the Council's series of research projects to reduce home building costs. This study was supported by Weyerhaeuser Company Wood Products Division.

Cost of the difierent systems for floor framing and subflooring of a house of 9I2 sq. ft. varied from $283.00 to 9377.00, the study shows. Lowest cost was achieved with 2 x l0 joists spaced 24 inches on center, the joists butted at the girder and covered with hal{-inch plywood subfloor.

Spokesmen for the Council emphasized however, that while the research has developed cost data believed helpful both to retail dealers and builders, building conditions in individual localities may alter competitive relationships of the various systems. They point out that merely applying local wage rates to study findings rvill not necessarily provide a true cost comparison in a given installation.

The time and material studies on these five floor systems also revealed that joist systems with the joists butted together over the center girder and tied together with a plywood subfloor were less costly than comparable systems using lapped joints. The use of 2 x l0 joists spaced on 24-inch centers was less expensive than 2 x 8 joists on 16-inch centers.

In diagonal subflooring systems, it was found that the savings efiected by reduced waste and reduced labor in installine I x 6 tongue-and-groove and end-matched lumber did not offset the added material cost when compared to 1 x 6 S4S boards.

To provide adequate cost comparisons, the five foundations,24 feet by 38 feet, were the same, the material was placed in the same relative position, and the same cre\{ was used to erect all houses.

The five systems studied include:

2 x B joists 16 inches on center, lapped at girder and halfinch plywood placed diagonally. Cost $340.00

2 x B joist 16 inches on center, butted at girder and hal{inch plywood placed for continuous tie over center oI ioints.

Cost $299.00

2 x l0 joists 24 inches on center" lapped at girder and I x 6 T & G and end-matched boards placed diaeonallv. Cost $340.00

2 x l0 joists 24 inches on center, butted at girder and halfinch plywood placed for continuous tie over center of ioints.

Cost $283.00

Prefabricated iloor panels with beams .X8 inches on center and half-inch plywood stifiened with 2 x 4 ribs 24 inches on cenrer. Cost $372.00 (l\{odification o{ this system $336.00).

The pre{abricated systern had the highest labor cost and highest total cost, although the material cost was lower than the system using 1 x 6 T & G end-matehed subfloorins.

Data for installing the bridging was obtained on the four conventional framing systems to determine just how much this bracing, required by the local building code where the houses were constructed, actually costs to install. In ,this study the cost of bridging varied from $25 to $30 per house.

Complete details of the study are contained in Tim.e an"d, Cost Studies on Fioe Floor Systernr, Research Report 63-2, available from the Small Homes Council-Building Research Council, University of lllinois, Urbana, Illinois, 61803" for $I.50.

Forest Products Win "Golden Bear"

The State of California's coveted Golden Bear Award has been presented formally to the forest products industry of the state in a special ceremony highlighting the annual meeting of the nation's Tree Farm sponsor, American Forest Products Indus' tries, in Washington, D.C.

The 22-pound statuette which symbolizes "the most" in a given field of industrial ac' complishment was formally presented on behalf of Governor Pat Brown by Congressman Harold T. Johnson of California's Sec' ond District to William Beaty of Redding, chairman of the California Forest Industries Committee.

Ironically, 116 years after Cali{ornia's famous Gold Rush, 'othe green gold of our forests has surpassed the better-known Cali' fornia gold in economic importance," the Congressman declared.

"In 1962 the forest products industry and allied business in California topped all other states for the first time in overall importance," said Johnson. "All of us in California are proud of this accomplishment, which earned the unique Golden Bear Award of the State of California."

Congressman Johnson said forest prod' ucts today represent the fourth largest man' ufacturing industry in California. A total

of 108,000 Californians are directly employed in forestry wood products. Last year these employees took home pay checks worth $566 million, and the value added to the state's economy by wood products is about one billion dollars a year.

"At the risk of sounding like a Texan," said Rep. Johnson, "let me add that California provides the greatest market for wood products of any place in the world and ranks high in production of Christmas trees and national forests. The 5.2 billion board feet of timber that we harvest annually is second to Oregon, but we do more with our wood fibers to upgrade their value.

"And here, I believe, is the key to conservation. It's the primary reason s['7 the California industry has been honored. The best conservation measures mean almost nothing if the resultant logs are not properlv eonserved at the various mills."

Ole May

Dear Ole:

I have been traveling around Mexico for the last six months and plan to spend another six months here. There are so mamy things to see. I bought a trailer and use Guadalajara as focal point. From here I go by bus, my car or airplane.

I have made several trips to Puerto Vallarta by air (only $17.00 round trip from here) and may buy a howe there. Last week when I was there, f ran across Bill Jones, W. B. Jones Lumber Co. His wife "Bonnie" is a former movie actress. They were accompanied by Arthur Lake and family. (The seriesDagwood and Blondie). Naturally they were well acquainted with all the people in "T'he Night of the lguana," Richard BurtonLiz Taylor and Ava Gardner, and many lesser lights. This gave me a real opportunity to get acquainted with all the group.

Next week, I am going to Brownsville and McAllen, Texas, to renew my tourist permit. It is only ?00 miles there as against 1100 miles to Nogales.

My weight is down to 776 pounds as against my former 200 pounds. The food here seems to be less in calories. I eat all f want, but seem to lose in pounds.

I trust that you are fine, give my regards to any friends.

Dear Mr. Cutler:

I have read and enjoyed the last several issues of the California Lumber Merchant since I was introduced to it by a friend when I moved to California in June.

I think the magazine meets very well the requirements of a good trade journal and covers the many facets of the industry.

I especially enjoy your fine and varied articles concerning lumber products marketed by the difrerent companies. These articles enable us to keep abreast of what is going on in the industry.

The new design of the magazine's name on the front cover looks very good,

Sincerely,

NFPW SPEECH

(Continued, lrorn Page 79)

Let's look first at where you fit into the picture and then determine how you can best help to influence the management of Federal forests.

To begin with, as a Californian you are one of nearly a quarter of a million people in this state who derive your income either directly or indirectly from timber products. In California you are part of a two billion dollar a year business.

There are 3.3 million other Americans like you, deriving their livelihoods from the forests and their products. Together you produce six per cent of the gross la-

tional product. You and every other person connected with this industry are important to America. Congressmen, Senators, and public officials recognize this simple fact.

'We must seize the intiative and write to them. I{ enough of us in the West who depend upon the forests for our jobs, and there are more than z136 thousand of us in lhose three states, let the nation's lawmakers know how we feel about legislation, we will influence these vital decisions.

We have the power within this broad forest industry to bend the twig of public opinion, of Congressional action, of national responsibility to influence the inclination of our all important tree. The forests are,

literally, our tree of life. If we fail to exert our own influence in such a way :ts to sponsor the proper growth rate in the eco' nomic tree for which we are responsible it will be distorted to such an extent that it will have no market value. Ma.rket value, whether it be in terms of sawlogs or in' dustry people is determined by what use may be produced from it and how baclly it is needed.

I can assure you that every person lvho depends upon the forest bounty for his livelihood is urgently needed in this continuing battle we fight for equity arrd opportunity under the law and in the marketplace.

Colifornio Door Compony Opens New Worehouse

Establishment of a new warehouse at 340 Tfest "G" Street, Colton, California, has been announced by Art Parkins, general manager of the pioneer building materials concern. The new distribution facility is located at the hub of the fast-growing San Bernardino and Riverside areas.

"A complete inventory of all California Door products will be maintained for immediate dealer pick-up," said Parkins. "And Red Thompson is the manager of the new service center." he continued. Red has been attached to Caldoor sales department for the past several years and is experi' enced in every phase of the wholesale dis' tribution business.

The California Door Company is a real pioneer in its field, having been estab' lished in 1850. It has had a warehouse and ofrces in Los Angeles since 1887. The new warehouse in Colton is in line with a well' planned expansion program to service retail dealers in the various Southern Cali' fornia areas, according to general manager Parkins.

Caldoor now manufactures its own Weather-Iok Aluminum Sliding Windows in addition to the many building items stocked. "Our sales program calls for continued expansion of facilities throughout

our trade area so that we may offer better service to all retail lumber dealers." Art Parkins declared.

Hqllinon Setting Up Southlqnd Offices

John Hallinan, president of the lumber company that bears his name, recently set up ofiices in San Diego County. He will work out of Pico Rivera and expects to spend one or two days a week in Los Angeles.

He expects to live and work in the county for the next ten months.

In explaining the move, Hallinan said,

"We are manufacturers of lumber in Port' land, Oregon, and from a distance of 1,500 miles it's rather difficult to have the contact that results in better merchandising."

Hallinan Lumber Company has three mills in Oregon and sells and produces lumber and lumber products.

loeffler Joins Tqhoe Lumber

Clarence Loeffier has been named salesmanager of Tahoe Lumber Company, successor to B&M Lumber Company, Sacra' mento.

Loeffier, who had spent eight years with B&M Lumber Company, will continue to headquarter in B&M's offices at 1817 65th Street with the phone number remaining 462-734,6. The operations of B&M Lumber have been discontinued following the re' cent death of president Martyn Mason.

Tahoe Lumber will remain in tfle whole' saling of a general line of lumber and lumber products with special emphasis given to the marketing of pine and white fir millwork items. Tahoe Lumber is the exclusive repres€ntative of Taymac Indus' tries, Inc. of Sacramento, and will continue a close working arrangement with Spald' ing Lumber Co-., Truckee, and Susanville Lumber, Inc.

NIJIAA CONVENTION

(Continued, lrom Page 32)

Motions passed by the National Vood Council were aimed at encouraging steppedup activity on the local wood promotion front. Specifically, the NWC:

(1) Set up a Steering Committee to review and, if necessary, redefine the objectives, dues schedule, scope of activities and bylaws of the Council.

(2) Called for a comprehensive survey to determine industry reaction to proposals for a Congress of Forest Products Industries.

(3) Requested NLMA ro designate for National Wood Council membership one

representative from each of its 17 federated associations.

NLMA's annual meeting was the occasion of an important breakthrough in industry efforts to improve federal timber sales procedures.

At a Congressional breakfast arranged by the association, Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman disclosed that he o'agrees" in principle with 34 of 37 recommendations made by an advisory committee which he set up to study how the government sells its timber.

In an unexpected move, Freeman asked the lumbermen to "lobby" for passage of an accelerated public works program presently before Congress. This would be one

CALIFORNIA IUTIBER IIEICHANT

way, he said, to obtain needed funds for the construction of forest access roads to speed the harvesting of federal timber. In response, the board of directors of NLMA asked Freeman to clarify his proposal.

At the same timeo the cabinet official reported latest developments on industry recommendations dealing with the allowable cut in national forests, timber apprai' sal methods, procedures for appealing For' est Service decisions in timber sales disputes, profit allowances and revision of the timber sale contract form. Industry and Agriculture Department representatives have been negotiating on these subjects-often referred to as the ooFour-Point Pro' gram"-for the past two years.

body returned findings of 'no injury.'

In their most recent report, the Tariff Commission, noting that most of the hard. wood plywood imports were of Lauan and from Japan, stated:

"The conclusion is inescapable that Lauan plywood has largely created the markets to which it caters, and that it has not in substantial degree encroached upon markets that have been supplied in appreciable measure by hardwood of other species, whether imported or domestic," and

"It is significant that domestic production increased most in those areas in which most of the imported Lauan plywood was consumed and declined most

on the areas in which little Lauan plywood was consumed."

Indeed, ingenious American plywood producers, meeting this challenge, manufacture and now sell several hundred million square feet of plywood panels annually in this market developed by imports. These panels are comprised of Lauan or Philippine Mahogany faced veneer surfaces, laid up on Douglas Fir cores and backs. This is in the best competitive spirit of the American system of supply and demand.

International trade is a two-way street in which imported hardwood plywood plays its 3.815 percent-relatively small but important role-this is the foundation of our nation's security and economic well being.

Hoo-Hoo-Ettes Fete Eorly New Yeors

L. A. Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club #6 held o'New Years in November" at Sportsmen's Lodge, Van Nuys, with a rousing, premature New Year's Eve party to celebrate Company Night.

The beautiful San Fernando Room of the lodge was taken over for the night by balloons, noisemakers, confetti and a rollick. ing three-man combo, who serenaded the partygoers at each table during dinner, then provided some jazzy dance music for after-dinner dancing.

The climax of the night was the drawing for door prizes, in all about twenty, which were generously contributed by the gals' companies.

Topping the list of prizes was the "basket of Cheer," a bushel basket of fine liquors which would indeed bring anyone a Happy New Year.

Prexy Jessie Culbertson and her able sec-

onds kept to their high standard with this afiair, which must be counted as one of the best events the gals have hosted this year.

Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club Heors Sporls Tolk

Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. I held their November meeting at Anderson's in Maywood.

Speakers for the evening were from Sales Boosters, Inc.-Mr. Carl Newman, executive vice president, and Pat Orr who was the former head umpire with the Pacific Coast League. They gave interesting comments on baseballo as well as a novelty gift to everyone present.

The Christmas party is scheduled for the Silver Saddle in Downey, Calif., on December 9th. It is one of the highlights of the club year.

and missing shipments was discussed by Stanley Brown, Chandler Lumber, Wm. Cooper, W. M. Cooper Lumber and Sun Lumber's Miles Davidson.

The final morning's program, "Operation Bootstrap," came ofi as scheduled, though not without some uneasy moments. Speaker Frank Heard's flight from San Francisco was delayed because of bad weather and only some quick driving by the El Mirador staff got him in from the airport in time. His knowledgeable discussion of the yard inspection service turned out to be one of the best presented, despite the earlier troubles.

The afternoon program, chaired by

Ralph Baker, Barr Lumber, was a discus' sion by Bruce Donley on a new master trust, pension & profit sharing plan tailored for association members.

The second half of the afternoon program was "The story of the 1964 Lumber Employers Council Wood Promotion Program" presented by advertising man Jim Cooper of Cooper, Davis Co., Robert Baugh, Baugh Bros. Lumber and Mark Hutkin, Lumber Employers Council. They set out the planned uses of the promotion fund for 1964.

In other business at the conference Paul Hollenbeck. Lumber Service Co. and Dan Curtis. Varco Business forms discussed

problems and answers for the retail lumber business, the future use of data processing machines for the industry and more realistic markups on merchandise.

Bill Murdock, Bayley, Martin & Fay, presented a comprehensive business insurance plan, open only to association members, and at a substantial savings over present rates.

On Saturday morning some were a bit hard pressed to make the 9:30 starting time, but the Distributor Panel, intro'd by Chairman Dennis Gilchrist played to a capacity crowd.

. The panel, Hal Anawalt, Wally Lingo, Art Penberthy, Jt., Don Swartzendruber

and John W'eston spoke on "Is there a Link For You in the Distribution Chain of Tomorrow."

Miles Davidson gave a report on grade simplification and standards at 10:30. President Kingston McKee followed and made the closing remarks to the convention.

Tom Supple has been with Sun continuously for almost 30 years. He grew un with the firm and has been trained throueh every department. including administration and sales. As headman of the eight yards located in Ventura, Oxnardo Camarillo and Santa Paula, Tom travels from home base in Los Anseles to the various areas served by the Sun organization.

"We benefit by our volume buying, which enables us to pass on advantages to our customers," he said. "Most of our shipments are to contractors and builders. as we do a very small business with the Do-It-Yourself week-end remodelins trade"" he eontinued. More than 100 lumber peopl" are employed by the subsidiary firms in the coast area operations of Sun.

Getting back to Jim Collins and Wagon Wheel. In addition to 35 employees, it requires five load builders, four li{t forks, one lumher carrier. three truck and trailers, four delivery rigs and three miscellaneous units o{ equipment to keep the action going at the hub. He has the assistance of several veteran employees, including area salesmen Ray Shewmaker and Bill Parmater. Mel Tru, Joe De la Poza and Dick Bouerboom handle the inside sales oI paint, builders' hardware, nails. all standard-brand building materials. sash and doors. interior finishes and demand items.

The general office is in the capable hands of Nlary Reichardt, Roberta Rice and Beatrice Martin.

It has been said that the Wagon Wheel retail lumber yard in Oxnard is the largest volume yard between [,os Angeles and San Francisco. After watching Jim Collins antl his stafi at work we can believe it' Trucks and materials are moving into and out of the yard constantly. During our visit there rvere drop-ins and contractors in a steady stream. The action is constant -the service supreme' And in spite of all this the housekeeping in the plant is good and the "esprit ds corps" throughout the plant is excellent.

He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. He began work with the Koonatz Lumber Company, Winnepeg, Canada. Upon coming to California he went to work for the W. J. Bettingen Lumber Company, Pasadena. Since 1920 when he went to work for the San Pedro Lumber Company, and for the past 43 years, he worked constantly for McKee Family-owned lumber yards. He started in their 'Wilmington yard as an Estimator, rose to bookkeeper and finally became Controller. IIe was a director and Treasurer of the San Pedro Lumber Company and thereafter Director and Controller of Forest Lumber Company, Imperial Valley Lumber Co. and Calexico Building Supply Co.

He founded Fickling Lumber Co., was president of the Southern California Lumber Dealers for three terms and on the SCLD board 36 years.

The years of Fickling's administration were hard ones for the city-the years of depression and unemployment. Then came the disastrous earthquake of March 10, 1933, and Fickling found himself chief executive of a city building itself up from rubble.

At various times in his long business career in Long Beach, he taught school, studied law, and served as a justice of the peace, and was involved in more than a half-dozen business ventures.

A native of Sacramento, Mr. Mason spent many successful years as a logging equipment salesman for Allis-Chalmers in Sacramento. During 1960, he established B&M Lumber Companq, a wholesale lumber concern, with Bob Nikkel. In 1966, the partnership was dissolved, Mason continuing B&M Lumber Company, and Nikkel establishing a new wholesale firm under his own name.

Although he sufrered a never-ending battle against ill health, Mr. Mason built B&M Lumber Company into one of the major wholesale firms in northern California, active especially in the Sierra Region. His many friends will long remember the conrage he displayed in the face of failing health.

Mrs. Mason leaves his wife, Faye, of their Sacramento home; and two sons, Robert Mason of Sacramento, and Richard Mason of Long Valley, California.

What do we mearl by kiln dried?

ARCO'S kiln drying processes enhance the value and usefulness of Redwood products in several ways-by creating a more stable product, improving finish holding characteristics, bringing out inherent beauty, improving workability and increasing glueholding properties. The term ARCO Certified Kiln Dried means kiln dried Redwood at its very best-a stable uniform product.
