As Alwdys, lt's Up to the Members

Hog-Hoo's field man, Robert B. Holder, after less than six months on the job, reports significant findings based on a survey of about half of the existing clubs, all in the Eastern United States. In the area covered, about one third of the members attend meetings, only about 4A/o (and decreasing rapidly) are retailers, in most instances there is a universal feeling of apathy. The "moment of truth" is facing the 72 year old fraternal order in the Hoo-Hoo year 1963-64. If it is to survive its members must reevaluate Hoo-Hoo's place and function in the lumber industry, and then develop a program to attain that goal.

Let us examine Hoo-Hoo for a moment. It is a fraternal organization of about 1I,000 lumbermen (down from 13,000 in 1959), drawn from all branches of the industry-foresters, loggers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and trade press-organized loosely into local autonomous clubs, and held together by the common bond of the International orsanization. Each individual Hoo-Hoo pays small annual dues to lhe International olsanization-enough to maintain a central office, keep membership records, charter new clubs, help plan and program the yearly Coavention, and thus foster a climate in which chanees in thl by-laws dr functions of the order may be discussed an"<l ratified. The central office is also the clearing house for communication between the various local clubso usually by means of the Order,s publication, "The Log and Tally." 'olnternational Hoo-Hoo,,, in the words of Secretary Ben Springer, 'oas a fraternity, differs from the trade association. Its primary function is not to initiate, but rather to coord,inate, cooperate and, complemezr efforts of all industry associations."

The local club, on the other hand, can initiate any kind of activity it chooses. It may choose to remain a purely social and fraternal organization. It may wish to devote itself purely to

Dealers in growing numbers are endorsing the proposed new AtS lumber standards which will reduce shipping costs and storage requirements and make possible superior lumber products

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

Here's what you can do:

1. Write today to the National Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C., expressing your support for Revised Simplified Practices Recommendation 16-53.

2. If you are on the Department of Commerce list of acceptors, vote favorably on the proposal.

The present system simply doesn't meet the building industry's need for precisely engineered lumber products. The new standards proposed by the American Lumber Standards Committee represent the greatest single potential advance in Iumber quality in many decades.

Opportunities to expand the use of wood in the construction industry are heavily dependent upon official adoption. Among other things, the new standards will:

o Establish thicknesses for both green and dry lumber based on the dimensions the material will assume in place on the job. Tighten up moisture content requirements in dry lumber to 15 per cent average, 19 per cent maximum.

r Provide stamped identification of all dry lumber meeting the new standards.

o Produce subslantial savings in freight and storage space as a re-

sult of less weight and less bulk.

r Provide increased competitive advantages for wood as the result of substantial improvement in product quality.

Weyerhaeuser has supported the proposals from the outset and today we are already making kiln-dried framing to meet the new specifications.

If you support the new standards, won't you take the time now to make your voice heard?

There was a heavy air of nostalgia at the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco as two old visitors to the Port of San Francisco tied up at to the City's new San Francisco Maritime Museum.

Completely restored to their original condition, the sailing schooner C. A. Thayer and the steam schooner W'apama were moved into permanent berths by three Red Stack tugs on October 2, to become part of the new State maritime monument in the Aquatic Park area.

The Thayer and Wapama join the 73' year old Eureka which for years was a fixture on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad's San Francisco-Sausalito run. The Eureka is the last ferry in the nation with a o'walking beam" engine.

Dedication ceremonies followed the berthing of the two venerable lumber schooners, said to be the last of their type left out of the hundreds of such vessels which once plied the West Coast as part of California's ooScandinavian Navy". Governor Edmund G. Brown and San Francisco Mayor George Christopher headed the dele' gation of officials at the dedication cere' monies, but to us the presence of Mrs. Maurice W. Ely of Portland was the real treat.

Mrs. Ely, who seems to be holding her age as well as the Wapama, originally chris' tened the steam schooner in 1915 at St. Helens, Oregon, and she repeated the cere' mony to the delight of the press agents, if not the old salts.

"It's bad luck to launch a ship twice," one old-timer was heard to growl.

Both the Thayer and Wapama were res' cued from the bone yard in the nick of time some three years ago. Since then thou' sands of volunteer man hours have gone into the careful restoration of the two ves' sels under the watchful supervision of a small band of men who sailed on them during the heyday of the craft.

Visiting hours at the Maritime Museum are I0 a.m.-10 p.m., admission is $l for adults, 50y' for children.

THE WAPAMA

The tiny niches in the rock-bound Mendocino Coast where two-masted schooners out of San Francisco loaded redwood lum' ber from chutes anchored to the cliff'tops furnished the initial incentive to the development of the steam-powered lumber car' rier. The paramount advantages inherent in operating steamships, rather than sailing vessels into these dangerous inlets led to the introduction of the "steam schooner" in this trade at a time when sail was yet undis' puted on the world's bulk-trade routes.

The first steam schooners were built at San Francisco in the early '80's. They were generally about the size of a small three' masted schooner (180-200 tons), and some' times carried this rig; they employed their sail when it was advantageous, yet sail was distinctly auxiliary to the steam plant.

PURPLE HAT GANG

We can't find them. They're a slick bunch all right. Alwayscall in ordersfrom pay telephones. Can't trace em. Here's some information to

make

yourjob

easier. Ted "DELMRITNOW" Deacv is the leader of this bunch. This guy is tough. Has to be to boss the likes of Bob "GOGETEM" Goetze, Hugo "MILLITRIGHT"Miller,Sully "SAVEMORE" Sullivan, and Freeman "QUALITY" Campbell. These guys just won't take no for an answer. They remember what happened to theip old salesmanager Red Wood. They know what'lI happen if they refuse an order. So don't be afraid, order right up. Tell 'em you want Redwood and you want itnous.

They'll fork it over. "DELIVERITNOW" Deacy will see to that. And don't worry about recognizing this gang. It's easy. Their trademark is the purple hat. They wear them on every job. Hey, here's an idea. Rather than make them suspicious, place an order as soon as you see them. Then contact us. We want to give 'em their commission checks. Here are a few other identifying traits. They pride themselves in being able to get your order delivered within 48 hours. Often sooner. They seldom talk about anything other than that and the faet that they have an inventory of over 4.5 million board feet of redwood, all sizes and types. It boils down to this: If you see one of the guys in this picture, and he's wearing a purple hard-hat, and he talks about nothing but fast delivery and gigantic inventories, and he won't take no for an answer, and he's as likeable as the dickens, there's a better than even chance he's a member of the purple hat gang. You'Il find him rewarding.

A bcautiful ncw'oflice building \ras re' ce ntly completerl b,v Nlercury Hardrvood Lumbcr Co., two nerv Koppers pole'constructed rvarehouses are storing the dry stock and nerv mobile equipment has been acquired.

It was iust four years ago that two enter' prising loung lumbermen established N'Icrcurl' Hardruood for dealers and industrial users of domestic and imported hardwood Iumber. Bob King, a l0-year veteran in lumber procurement and sales and Jerry Lapin, also a l0-year man, lead the firm. Bob has eained his lumber business background in the rvest. So it is just natural that the firm no*'stocks Pacific coast softwoods, as rvell as other domestic spttcies for the trade. Jerry has covcred the easf middle u'est and far wcst and has vast experience in scllirrg and servicing aecounts. "Service i,s, and ahvays will be, our first aim," thel' both declared.

Located at 2tr183 Sheila Street, Los Algeles 23, the one and one-half plus acre facility parallels Washington Boulevard in the greater Los Angeles industrial district an<l is near the Long Beach and Santa Ana Frecrvays, for fast delivery to their southern California market area.

"Our ability to perform is primarily due to our key personnel who have many vears experience in this ficld," said Bob King, "Although the average age of our staff is only 28, we are long on experience as each and every employce is a dedicated Iumberman," he continued. George Caudill, formerly chief assistant inspector for N.H.L.A., is general superintendent of tlle plant. Joe Robles, trafEc manager, has a complete background in both hardwood and softrvood lumber and its uses. "Girl ['riday," Yolanda Panagos, gained her etlucation in handling office details t'ith other [orrvard looking lumber wholesale organizations.

The new Mercury L C L distribution yard is located on a 10 car Santa Fe spur, offers milling facilities on the premises and, as stated above, is growing with the area it serves. o'W'e are a young organization, with a young staff, but long on ability to perform," said the two executives, Bob and Jerry. A diversified inventory is maintained to service all types of accounts and direct shipments are also ofiered via rail or truck and trailer.

Senqtor Refufes Post Article

Sen. Harrison A. Williams, Jr., a member of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Housing, has highly praised on the Senate floor the contribution of the home-buildins industrv to the nation's economic and social progress.

His remarks were prompted by a recent disparaging article in the Saturday Evening Post under the title: o'lfhy New Houses Cost Too Much."

". . I cannot help but say that the article went rather far in trying to prove its point," Senator Srilliams said. "At one point the article states that builders-not a few builders, not some builders, but builders-'are under enormous pressure to cut corners-and even to chisel.'

"The tone of the article would suggest that nearly every homeowner in the United States might have good reason to lie awake" wondering whether his house will stand up through the night.

"Mr. President, I think it is obvious that today the American people enjoy new housing in a quantity and quality unparalleled in the lvorld.

'oBut the article, in addition to its emphasis on poor and faulty construction, gives the impression that there has been virtualll' no technological progress in the housing industry {or the last 30 years. Mr. President, this just is not so.

o'There is no question that many local building codes are antiquated and have impeded the rate of technological progress as the article points out; and there is no question that the homebuilding industry could be doing better in the field of research. After all, all of us could do better in our fields of endeavor. But to say that little or nothing is being done is simply untrue."

Senator Williams, Democrat of New Jersev. also had inserted in the Congressional Record a letter written by NAHB President W. Evans Buchanan to the Post editor and an editorial by former President Leonard L. Frank in the July, 1962, issue o{ the Journal o{ Homebuilding.

In his letter, Buchanan stated his "outrage" at the "distorted picture" painted by the author of the artiile. Frank's editorial dealt with the high priority being given by NAHB to its efiorts and studies in making efiective use of land.

On this point, Senator Williams said that old, time-tested methods of land development have had the effect o{ pushing the countryside farther and farther away; of driving up the cost of providing the necessary roads, and of driving up the costs of providing water, sewer, and electrical facilities,

". There are better and more imaginative ways in which this nation can house a growing population," he added, "and can preserve a great many more amenities in our suburbs as well.

'oOne would not expect the homebuilding industry to be in the forefront of the effort to try new and more imaginative ways to develop our suburbs. Ilut it is."

He noted that the magazine article made virtually no mention at all oI the whole problem of land costs and the present wasteful use of land. He called attention to NAHB's development of Planorama, a table-sized model, "rvhich visually demonstrates the many ways in which new subdivisions can be developed in more imaginative and more economical ways."

In particular praise of the homebuilding industry, Senator Williams said: "Far more than do many other profit-motivated segments of society which are engaged in building our cities, towns and suburbs. the homebuilding industry has recognized the inseparable relationship between the home and other aspects of community development."

Visiting Club Helpr Los Angeles Starf Season

Wally Lingo took over the gavel from Ben Gardiner as Snark of lns Angeles Club 2 and N{ike Walsh assumed the post of exchequer from Phil Kelty at the "kickoff" golf tournament and banquet Friday, September 27th, at Inglewood Country CIub. In spite of 110 degree temperature the opening affair was a huge success.

It was truly Arizona weather that sreeted the seven members of Salt River Vailey Hoo-Hoo cluh fr32, who returned the home and home visit made by twenty members of the Los Angeles club last spring when they walked off with three awards in Phoenix as this series of events started.

Making up the ooArizona Desert Cats" team were Chuck and Wally Pensinger, Leo Myers, Jim Lewis, Earl Heldt, John Mueller and Paul Caviness. They did well in the tournament, walking ofi with two trophies and pockets full of golf balls, as new golf chairman Ben Gardiner worked to make the meet pleasant {or t}em.

Lee Kramer made it an outstanding evening for outgoing Snark Ben Gardiner when he presented Ben with a pictorial history of his activities during his complete tenure in office. Lee had the beautiful volume engraved in gold and secured material from his own photos and stories that appeared throughout the year in The California Lumber Merchant. Truly a fine presentation by Lee and one Ben will lons remember.

John Sattler, prominent golf pro of southern California, was the speaker of the evening. Joe Petrash introduced John, who did his best to teach the Cats how to successfully play gol{. His talk was well recei'r'ed by duffers and hackers alike.

In the home and home competition with the Phoenix group the Los Angeles club was represented by Ernie Matthes, Norm Vendell, Ken Kenoffel, Ed Difani, Joe Petrash, Don Johnson and Wally Lingo. These club members also acted as special hosts to the visitors who stayed over in Los Aneeles to attend the USC-Oklahoma

football game and the finale at Dodger Stadium with Philadelphia. Then came the World Series

Dealer Aids Draw Attention

For years, dealers have been subjected to offers of merchandising aids that, when all is said and done, do litde more than advertise the distributor whose name they carry. Consequently, dealers tend to shy, or at least look warily upon, the "generous" ofiers made by their suppliers. Thls conditioned response, though understandable, occasionally allows a helpful merchan. dising aid to pass unnoticed. This can be costly. In unrealized potential profits. The purpose of this piece, then, is to draw your attention, if it hasn't been alreadyo to what are probably the most colorful "dealer-directed" aids ofiered in some time. It also appears they are the most expensive. The window banner, for example, cost CalPacific well over $2.00 apiece. And this on a quantity purchase. Silk-screened, the banner carries 6 illustrations of comrnon uses of Redwood. Every few months, CalPacific replaces the banner with a new but similarly designed piece. Each stresses a particular feature, such as, economy, elegance and versatility. The illustrations change as well.

TIAITER AND COUNTER CARDS

Loaded with color, these cards beam convincing messages to both the retail and wholesale market. The messages are, as you can see, short and to the point. The reverse sides of these cards display in vivid oranges and reds the image of an authentic lumberman.

What has been the reception by the dealers to these cards in the first month of their existence ? According to Ted Deacy, Executive Vice President of Cal-Pacific, the reception has been considerably more than had been anticipated. Asked whether or not the supply would hold, Deacy replied, ooWe hope it doesn't and I don't think it will. It's still too early to tell just how successful this program will be, but (Continued on Page 63)

So now we get back to Topic A. Where does Hoo-Hoo fit in the vast picture of the lumber industry? To our minds this decision is right in the laps of the membership. \Ve believe that each local club should appraise itself to determine just what responsibility to the industry it wishes to take. Convey this decision to your Supreme Nine member, so that he may know how his jurisdiction feels when he is counseling with other International Officers. This should produce a consensus that can be used in mapping the future of International Hoo-Hoo.

At top center McBeath salesmanager, Ralph Mannion, Bill and "Mac" MacBeath gaze appreciatively at the beautiful surfacing job produced by their new 0liver-Strat-o-Plane. Machine is the only one on the West Coast; will face and surface lumber on both sides at a rate of 80 feet per minute. Besides the new Oliver, MacBeath also added a new straight line gang rip to the mill. (left of Oliver) Other capital improvements (lower left) made by MacBeath to the SO-year old Davis Hardwood Co. include this new sawdust collector. lnterior of part of the San Francisco warehouse shows extremely good housekeeping throughout. Storage racks were engineered by Joe Cortese, vice-president and manager of the S. F. operation. Leo Del Carlo, in lower right picture, a veteran of over 35 years with Davis Hardwoods, and now MacBeath, looks over a new shipment of teak lumber with Bill MacBeath. Leo is now in charge of the MacBeath milling division.

Advanced Milling Equipment Highlights Updating

MacBeath Hardwood Company, Berkeley and San Francisco, recently made a major capital investment in milling equipment at its San Francisco branch, the former Davis Hardwood Company.

The company has installed a brand-new Olivor Strat-o-Plane which faces and surfaees lumber on both sides simultaneously at a rate up to 80 feet per minute. The only machine of its type on the West Coast, the Oliver Strat-o-Plane assures straight, flat lumber with a perfect finish on both sides. Other equipment includes a new straight line gang rip and a new sawdust collector. Since purchasing the 50 year old Davis

Hardwood firm at 2150 Oakdale Ave. in San Franciscoo December 1961, MacBeath Hardwood has invested a considerable sum in new equipment and in updating existing facilities. Joe Cortese, vice-president and manager of the San Francisco yard, points out that facilities now offer over 30,000 sq. ft. of undercover storage, nearly three times the space available at MacBeath's Berkeley headquarters.

The president of MacBeath Hardwood is a man who needs little introduction. K. E. "Mac" MacBeath is one of the Nation's most knowledgeable hardwood lumbermen, having spent his entire life in the business.

Symposium Seeks Exponded Forest Products Uses

Nondestructive tests that evaluate every piece of lumber, sheet of plywood, or other wood product accurately for quality without damage hold the key to expanding the uses of wood as a refined engineering material.

That conclusion highlighted a 3-day Symposium on Nondestructive Testing, October 7-9 at the U.S. Forest Products Labora' tory, Madison, Wisconsin, at which some I00 scientists, engineers, and industrv leaders heard and discussed 22 papers describing research and development in the field. Cosponsor was the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Consensus of the meeting was that it brought into focus for the first time the possibilities of a wide range of scientific means for testing wood nondestructively-that is, without impairing the

After many years with J. E. Higgins Lumber Co., Mac and the late Alex Gordon formed Gordon-MacBeath Hardwood Company in Oakland during 1944. Nine years later, on January l, 1955, ooMac" sold his interest in Gordorr-MacBeath and teamed up with his son, Bill, to start MacBeath Hardwood. In the ensuing eight years, MacBeath Hardwood has demonstrated remarkable growth due to capable leadership and an extremely competent sales force, Today, the firm has over 30 employees and 5 outside salesmen covering northern California and the central Pacific Coast area for complete customer coverage.

usefulness of the piece tested. Most previous methods of determining strength and other physical properties have been based on the direct testing of samples under damaging loads to permit general conclusions statistically suitable for determining working stresses, grade, and other quality indicators.

Main purpose of the symposium, according to Dr. Edward G. Locke, director of the host laboratory, was to bring research and industry leaders together to examine what is being done and discuss its applications to the wood products industries.

In welcoming the group, Dr. Locke cautioned them to o'remember that our purpose here is essentially a highly practical oneto find ways of making more efficient use of wood."

Dr. A. S. Gregory, director of research of the Weyerhaeuser Co., Tacoma, Wash., keynote speaker, Iisted five categories of potential use for such tests: establishing better product specifications, providing better methods of use and markets, control of manufacturing processes and quality, utilization of raw materials.

Two Maior Associations Ask Complete Poll on ALS Change

NAWTAI

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association has asked the Department of Commerce to poll the group's entire membership-rather than just 20 percent of it-in obtaining industry opinion on proposed lumber size changes as related to moisture content.

The wholesale association has 321 members who handle I4.7 bi]lion board feet of lumber annually-eqtaI to 42 percent of all lumber consumed in the U. S. last year'

J. J. Mulrooney, executive vice-president of the nationwide organization, declared that a one-fitth sample could not provide an accurate opinion of America's wholesalers who have a great stake in the proposed changes.

Other Western lumber organizations are also seeking to have the Department o{ Commerce poll expanded to cover the industry as completely as possible.

vo'On request by the Department of Commerce," stated Mulrooney, "we submitted a comprehensive list blanketing out segments oI the industry as thoroughly as possible, and it was our understanding that all would be polled. Now we are told the poll will cover only 20 percent o{ our list, or 200 names, which' ever is less, We urge the Department of Commerce to reconsider and to devise a plan which would give all interested parties an opportunity to be heard."

The proposed size changes have been one of the most discussed industry actions in recent years, and seek to make sure all lumber is the same size once finally in place on a job, whether it was shipped dry or unseasoned.

The concept has gained widespread support, but some individuals and groups have objected to certain details as outlined in the proposals. Contrary to some erroneous reports, the NationalAmerican Wholesale Lumber Association has not yet taken a position.

(wctA)

It would be extremely difficult for the major industry trade groups to submit a partial list of members to the U. S. Department of Commerce to determine the acceptance of changes in American Lumber Standards, G. C. Edgett, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, has stated.

The U. S. Department of Commerce has proposed a 20 percent sampling of lumber producing and lumber user trade associations. Since 200 trade groups are sampled, this would reduce the volume of ballots to be counted.

Edgett has made a counter proposal, which is being considered by the department. In a letter to A. V. Astin, director of the U. S. Department of Commerce national bureau of standards, which will conduct the survey, Edgett made these proposals:

(1) that each major trade association be permitted to use the government response form for a poll of its entire membership;

(2) that each association supply a notarized statement as to the total number of respondents in favor of and opposed to the proposed changes and total production of both groups;

(3) that each association further supply a composite list of reasons for the individual positions that are taken.

Edgett told Astin that his proposal would create a considerable amount of extra work for the major trade associations, but he said it was preferable to supplying a partial list of members of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau.

Purdue Est<rblishes Industry Educ<rtion, Troining Center

Purdue University, seven building industry firms and three allied associations have announced the establishment of the Build' ing Industry National Educational Center (BINEC) to be headouartered in Purdue's mammoth Memorial Center.

Founded with $50,000 in pledges from the seven firms and three associations, itwill develop and conduct industry-wide educational and training programs, initially in retail marketing of building materials.

Donald Fl. Rons, who joined the Purdue staff in August, will be program specialist. Arthur A. Hood, independent consultant to the building industry, Los Altos, Calif., will advise on early BINEC educational activities.

Founders, each o{ rvhom contributed $5,000 for support of the center, are: Allied Concord Financial Corp., Bayport Foundation (Andersen Corp.), Armstrong Cork Co., Douglas Fir Plywood Association. n'{asonite Corp., National Gypsum Co., National Lumber & Building Material Dealers Association; National Lumber Manufacturers Association, U. S. Gypsum Co. and Veyerhaeuser Co.

Representatives of each of the firms will serve on a Council of founders. An educational guidance committee will consist oI permanent representatives from Purdue and N.L.B.M.D.A., and rotating members, serving three-year terms, from the founders, federated associations and the N.L.B.M.D.A. education committee.

The educational guidance committee will offer advice on the type, length, number and continuity of BINEC courses as well as suidance on courses required for certification.

dons said the first program will be in operation by February, 1964. Plans call for operating training programs on the Purdue campus-serving industry members on a national basis.

Concurrently, it is expected to operate specialized correspondence courses for industry personnel as well as train program instructors rvho will {unction in building industry educational programs elsen'here.

The center also will act as a clearing house for development, testing and refinement of text material, outlines, instructional packages, audio-visual aids and program materials for the industry.

Ultimately, the center will assist other universities and regional associations in setting up regional educational centers, thereby {orming a national educational network for the building industry.

I have watched many dealers become more and more liberal in granting credit, and allow their collection policy to slacken ofi, when sales decline. This is a serious mistake.

Usually, dealers guilty of such poor practice fail to recognize the importance of tightening up collection procedures if they decide to become more liberal in granting credit. The more liberal your credit granting policy the stronger your collection policy must be.

It is important to remember that sales fall off during certain periods of the year -for several reasons. One, customers have less money to spend on cash sales items, therefore, they have less money to pay off debts. The other reason is: some dealers operate in seasonal areas where their cus-

tomers cannot work the full year. If collection procedure is slackened, the average debtor will interpret this to mean the dealer has either called ofi his dogs, or cares less whether bills are paid or not.

Once started, it is absolutely essential that a continuing flow of reminders and collection notices be mailed to debtors when their account reaches a certain state of delinquency. However, it is imperative that the credit executive determine which of the ttoverdues" are habitual "slows" who pay every month, but not by the due date.

Some debtors will resent most anv form of reminder or collection letter. I have had debtors become disturbed because we sent them a statement. We, in the credit field, often wonder why a debtor becomes disturbed because we ask for payment. We

know before asking that we used the right approach and made every effort to collect and retain the customeros favor. Why then should a customer become upset and tell you so when all along he knew his account was overdue? Is it because he is eccentric, or does he become antagonized because he has no money and showing resentment is the only thing he has to save 'o[ace"? It's anybody's guess.

Why do I recommend routine collection follow-up procedure regardless of the time of year, and no matter whether sales are slow? Remember this: You can almost always add charges to a current account, but it's merely poor business to add charges to an overdue account. If the debtor cannot pay his overdue balance, by what stretch of the imagination can you believe he can pay for current charges.

Prefinished Hardboard Siding Gefs rrA" In Test Market, Will Go National

Masonite Corporation has extended its distribution of Colorlok siding, a product it terms 'oa major advance in residential construction technology," to lumber and building materials dealers in all 50 states.

Masonite thus becomes the first manufacturer to nationally market a plastic finished, extra long-life hardboard siding, according to F. O. Marion, vice presidentmarketing.

First introfluced earlier this year in a limited release in the Midwest, Colorlok has generated unprecedented attention and interest from all segments, Marion said.

ooAs a result of Colorlok's excellent field performance and its enthusiastic acceptance in trade circles, we elected to make this new-construction siding available to dealers throughout the country following its recent F.H.A. acceptancer" he said.

. Colorlok was developed by Masonite, with the collaboration of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., to offer o'an entirely new concept" in lap siding products. It combines the exceptional dent resistance and

durability of hardboard siding with a new type of tough, pre-colored plastic film fused to its surface. Called Videne, the film provides weathering and endurance qualities which dramatically reduce maintenance and increase life'span.

The siding is entirely pre-finished with the color pigment contained in the plastic Videne film. While Masonite is guaranteeing Colorlok for 10 years against all visible failure, the weatherability of the factory-applied Videne finish is expected to have a considerably longer span, Marion stated.

The Videne film is combined with pretested 7/16 in. Masonite X-ninety [,ap Siding under heat and pressure in a process which fuses the film to liquid Videne already applied to the siding. The resultant bond between the two materials is "tremendously strong" and "virtually impossible to separate," according to James H. Mein, exterior products manager.

Mein detailed these additional features of Colorlok in describing the product,

which is manufactured at the company's St. Charles (Ill.) plant: (I) An attractive low gloss finish available in white: gr€€r, beige or gray. (2) Will not crack, chip, splinter or peel and features a uniform surface and appearance. Highly resistant to denting and abrasion. (3) Extremely high resistance to fading, erosion and effects of air-borne fumes and deposits. (4) Maintains strength and stability under wide fluctuations in temperature, humidity and weather conditions. Colorlok is factory back-sealed for further protection against moisture. (5) Can be cleaned easily with detergent or other common cleaners. (6) Can be painted conven' tionally if desired, although the original factory finish is guaranteed against failure for l0 years. (7) No objectionable noises caused by wind, weather or temperature changes.

The Colorlok siding system, offered in the {our colors noted above, is complete with all necessary accessories and hard(Continued on Page 86)

K. C. Bqtchelder Retires

One of the most widely esteemed traffic managers in American industry, K. C. Batchelder, is retiring after nearly23 years in that position with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Portland.

During his managership, WCLA's traffic department has been a primary factor in saving lumber and plywood shippers of the west many millions of dollars in freight costs, and in fostering improvements in rail and water transportation.

This region's lumber shippers pay out about $300,000,000 (cq) a year in freight charges, and Batchelder's department is the oldest and largest in their service as watchdog, petitioner and protagonist in the transportation world.

Cedor Shingle ond Shoke Associotions Merge

Representation of the Pacific Northwest's multi-million dollar red cedar shingle and shake industry by a single association was efiected by formation of the Red Cedar Shingle & Handsplit Shake Bureau.

'Ihe new Bureau represents consolidation of the A7-year-old Red Cedar Shingle Bureau and the eight"year-old Hand-split Red Cedar Shake Association. It will represent more than 200 member mills in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia, and be responsible for advertisinp; and trade promotion, mill inspection, and grading and labeling of shingles and shakes. The long accepted and well known "Certigrade," o'Certigroove" and "Certisplit" labels will be continued.

Establishment of the nelv Bureau took place during the combined annual meeting of its predecessor €troups in Seattle.

Cecil G. Watson, New Westminster. 8.C.. 1963 president of the Shingle Bureau, was elected president of the new association. Stewart Ferguson, Aloha, Washington, former vice president of the Hand-split Association, was elected vice-president. Virgil G. Peterson, Seattle, was re-elected secretary-treasurer and manager.

Organization of the Red Cedar Shingle and Handsplit Shake Bureau comes at a time of spectacular sales growth for both wood shingles and shakes. The eight-month period ending August 31, 1963, is considered by industry leaders to be one of the best sales and production periods in history, with volume up more than 24 percent over the same calendar period in 1962.

Field representatives of the new association will cover the nation in a crontinuing trade contact program, providing in-person support for the industry's information and education efiorts.

DOUGLAS FIR

WCIA Trcrde Mission to Europe Returns with Gloomy Outlook

Italy ranks a close second to West Germany as a valued market for Douglas fir clears, but competitive pressures are developing from other species and substitute materials. Howevero the prospects for increasing the Douglas fir export market in other European Nations appeared remote, according to the six Northwest Lumbermen and a member of the U. S. Department of Commerce, who comprised the recent West Coast Lumber Association Trade Mission to Europe.

Members of the mission included the following: G. Cleveland Edgett, Executive Vice President. WCLA; William H. Schlauch, Export Department, Georgia-Pacific Corporationl Lantz D. Warrick, Export Manager, Simpson Timber Company; Faval L. Foval, Executive Assistant to Marketing, International Paper Company; Strayer E. Pittman, Sales Manager, Bohemia Lumber Company; Marco J. Heidner, President, Pacific Lumber Exporters Association; and A. D. McKellar, Program Executive, U. S. Department of Commerce.

In every European country visited, U. S. irregularity of supply and price was found to be the major complaint. Last year Canada exported 95.7 per cent of the lumber purchased by the United Kingdom from the North American West Coast. U. S. exporters were able to sell the remaining 4.3 per cent only because it was unobtainable elsewhere.

British Columbia, already outselling the U. S., 24 toLin the UK, aggressively promoting hemlock and cedar, and threatens to capture existing markets where Douglas fir is preferred. In reference to cedar, it was noted that the Canadian supply appears to be somewhat limited and there is a growing interest in California redwood as an alternate.

In The Netherlands and Belgium the Mission found Douglas fir pretty much out oI the picture, due to price and local tradition. Dutch importers showed a high preference for Baltic whitewoods and West Coast hemlock, while Belgian importers leaned heavily to red pine from North Europe. Again, both countries were critical of the West Coast's "in and out of the market depending on the price of lumber at home" policy.

German spokesmen urged a promotional program aimed at West German architects; plastic protectors to prevent damage and./or rust marks from packaging wire or strap; red ink stenciling rather than conventional black used in U. S. mills; squared and waxed ends.

Traveling to France, the U. S. lumbermen found that it prodrces 85/o of its softwood lumber requirements, importing the rest largely from Sweden, Finland and the USSR. Representatives of the French trade expressed displeasure with what they consider excessive price fluctuations. As a result, the French tend to turn to Baltic and Scandinavian softwoods and to explore the field of plastics and other substitutes for lumber.

The WCLA Trade Mission returned to the States fully convinced that effective merchandising and promotion will 'become increasingly necessary in order to retain or expand export markets. Opportunities for increased sales of merchantable grades appear to be limited due to competitive factors, but members of the Mission felt there is a real potential for select items from the Douglas fir region.

Did you know that the Lord's Prayer has 56 words; Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 266; Ihe Declaration of Independence 300. But, a government order establishing the price of cabbage contains 26,91I words?

Beoutiful Color Brochures Avoilobb to Retqilers

YOU'IL GtO WIIH SATISFACTIONI

What Did He Say?

The Carndian's struggle in the worl'd, ma,rket is rwt without amusing aspects. N. R. Dusting, mnnnger, British Columbfut. Lumber Manulacturing Association, tells lrcre ol one oJ thern.

Anywhere outside North America, oolumber" is the junk that pack-rats accumulate in their basements or attics. So naturally, not wanting to ridicule our fine product by calling it garbage, we use the term o'sawn timber" or for short 'otimber," which applies in most other English-speaking countries. This immediately gives rise to confusion in our minds between oolumber" and "timber" and o'timbers."

To clarify o'timber," meaning "standing timber," one can always explain that this is the commodity you get logs from . this will serve only to mystify the British user more, because to him a "log" is a ootimberr" if you follow me.

So, you try another tack. oolook here," you say, o'in Canada we call any o'lumber," "timber," that is, that's bigger than dimension: o'squares, baby squares, Jap squares and that sort of thing." He looks at you suspiciously and says wonderingly, "Are you serious?" What's this'dimension' business?"

oooh," you say, 'othat's like 2 by 4's." o'2 by 4's?" he says, o'If you mean 4 by 2's, we call that 'scantling'." This conjures visions of a bikini-clad Brigitte Bardot on the beach at Cannes and you brighten visibly, and mutter, sotto voce, "Now we're back to selling abroad again.t' 'oBoards," he says, "surely we're agreed on boards."

At last, you think, we have reached "common" ground, except he prefers to call it o'merchantable" ground'

o'And talking of omerch'," you suggest, oowhat's the principal end user for merch?"

"End user?" he chokes a moment, embarrassed, until the penny drops; I mean until the light penetrates, ooyou presumably mean the ultimate consumer?" You hurriedly concur.

"W'ell," he says, "Housing I imagine; carcassing, sarkirrg, cladding and so on."

When you facetiously suggest that the cladding must go on the scantling's carcass to keep her warm, your {riend hurriedly heads you outside into his yard to have a look at the last parcel of West Coast blue-stained, scant sawn, poorly marked, badly trimmed, over-priced timber he has just bought.

Your lesson in terminology has given way to a lesson in gamesmanship.

College Scholorship Contest

Lumbermen are inviting all high school seniors in the Portland area to compete in a new $1,000 college scholarship contest.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has mailed bulletins to all public and private high schools of the Douglas fir region, describing the essay contest. It was established this year in memory of Harold V. Simpson, who for 16 years led WCLA's efforts to popularize local woods in world markets.

Seniors may enter by preparing a 1000-word essay on the topic, "Being Creative with Lumber in Homes." Deadline for completed essays will be February 15, 1964. Prizes will be $500, $300, and $200.

DFPA Reduces Dues, Plcrns New Progroms

A market potential in industry "so vast it is impossible to esti' mate," was laid out for executives of member companies in one of the most eventful fall meetings ever held by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

More than 300 top-echelon representatives of DFPA members took part in the two-day session at Salem, Oregon.

The most sensational item on the agenda was the announcement by Executive Vice President James R. Turnbull that the Board of Trustees had accepted his recommendation that dues be reduced from their current rate of 75 cents per thousand square feet (3/s-inch basis) to 55 cents, efiective January I.

Turnbull assured the meeting that it would be possible to actually expand association services in 1964, even though the dues reduction will mean a loss in income of more than a million dollars. It was the first time, he said, that the stafi had recommended lower dues.

Turnbull said 'ointernal economies, adjustments in programs and a production increase that exceeded our estimates" have reduced staff spending below projected levels and swollen a cash reserve fund that can be called on next year for "additional national promotions." Turnbull said the current spending level could be maintained with lower dues.

i., He said he expected the dues reduction to help attract more i. '. members to the association and estimated that the "equivalent fr: of 12 new mills will be added by the end of L9&."

F- \ffithin three days of the conclusion of the meeting two plants Frt{!" had announced their intention of switching from commercial ,', ,' testing agencies to association membership, and a newly-built i plant applied for membership. DFPA announced earlier that ap'). plications had been received from two plants now being built

in the Southern Pine region.

Referring to mention of the emergence of the south as a plywood region and to a brief discussion of proposed coordination of programs among the major western wood products associations, Turnbull challenged the lumber industry to forget the difierences that now divide it into regional and species associations.

"The plywood industry is vastly more united in purpose than lumbero" he said. "But we are all in the same boat. If lumber falls, we could fall with it, so we must find ways of working more efiectively together."

'If lumber can bring itself together, as an industry, so that lumber and plywood can get together, we can go on to new heights."

Turnbull's remarks followed a report by association president Jackson Beaman, president oI Southern Oregon Plywood of Grants Pass, Oregon.

Beaman congratulated the companies on the more active part they have been playing in association programs, but called Jor even broader support than the present B0 per cent membership in DFPA by plywood manu{acturers.

He said the industrial market was a good example of the po' tential open to plywood, but that the kind of concentrated promotion necessary to develop such a market required maximum support by manu{acturers.

DFPA is the largest association of its kind in the United States, and it drew on all of its resources to demonstrate the possibilities for plywood in industries that range from steel foundries to poultry farms.

The associationos Field Services division includes two depart' ments charged with promotion to different segments of the indus' trial market, and the managers of those departments gathered exhibits that ranged from slipboards for stacking beer kegs to manure spreader boxes.

Douglas D. Walker, Industrial Field Promotion manager, at one point in the two-hour presentation, displayed a 9r/2-inch cftcle of plywood that is used to protect the bottom of a steel mould from heat shock.

ooThis is typical of the industrial market," he said. o'This circle simply disappears, creating a demand for another just like it immediately. But it satisfies a need for a buyer, and creates a constant market that has few of the ups and downs of construction.tt

Walker said the potential might be considered in the light of his department's experience with a single plant. In one year, consumption went from zero to three carloads per year, in Il applications, nearly all of them introduced by DFPA field promotion.

"Apply that to the 300,000 industrial plants where this potential exists, and you can see the size of the market,'o Walker said.

W. L. Griebeler, a lS-year veteran of plywood promotion an.i manager of agricultural field services, said there was a market for 68 million pallets per year, for 1.5 rnillion chicken coop bottoms, 300,000 agricultural pallet bins and o'uncounted small items like dropping boards, shipping containers and packing boards."

G-P Seeks DFPA Membership For Southern Pine Plont

Georgia Pacific Corporation, whose pine plywood will be the first structural panel to be manufactured from southern-grown raw material, has applied for membership in the Douglas Fir Plywood Association for its new plant at Fordyce, Arkansas.

The plant will start shakedown runs in December, according to William H. Hunt, vice president. lnitial annual capacity will be

reretvpe sF r083u

90 million square feet (3/s-inch thick basis) in standard 4 by 8-foot panels. The plant will produce interior sheathing, including some with exterior glue, and probably will include plugged and touch-sanded panels in its early schedules.

Arkansas loblolly pine, raw material for this plant, produces plywood that is interchangeable with Douglas Fir. Extensive research by Georgia-Pacific and the plywood assoeiation has made possible effective use of the southern timber.

G-P is the second potential producer of southern pine plywood to announce it will subscribe to the quality control program of DFPA: Southern Pine Plywood Co., a joint venture of United States Plywood Corp. and Southern Pine Lumber Co., now build. ing a plant at Diboll, Texas, applied for DFPA membership in July.

Already a member of DFPA through its west coast mills, Georgia-Pacific is the world's largest producer of both softwood and hardwood plywoods and plans to integrate its Arkansas production into its existing nationwide marketing pattern.

The DFPA quality control program, under which about 130 western mills now produce structural plywood, was developed by the industry and refined over a 2l-year period to make it possible to build engineered structures with plywood. The production from the Fordyce plant will conform to the standards of western plywood, which are slightly higher than those required in the U. S. commercial standards, and will be interchangeable with west coast products in all DFPA recommendations. Many of these recommendations are incorporated in major building codes.

Application of New Product :Halves Finishing Time

The largest single application of a new product that at the same time provides penetrating waterproofing action and surface color to building surfaces has been completed.

The $I0-million Sun-Maid Raisin Growers plant at Kingsburg, near Fresno, California, is the biggest construction project to yet use the new Thompson's Color Water Seal, a product introduced to both con-

struction and consumer fields earlier this year.

The last of more than 1400 gallons of the pigmented waterproofing compound was applied to the plant exterior of the world's foremost processor of raisins during the last fortnight.

Architect Paul Harris, of the firm of Walter Wagner & Partners, Fresno, called for a custom color ("Desert Sand") on the

cAtlFolNlA ttltiiBEn x1g166ANT

concrete panels. Thompson's Clear Water Seal was used on the decorative exposed aggregate panels.

The tte* plant officially opened late in October. It is on a ?3-acre site on Highway 99. The plant itself contains some 14 acres of under-roof area.

Thompson's Color Water Seal is a de' velopment of the E. A. Thompson Co. lab' oratories and is an addition to the Thomp' son line of waterproofing, curing and bond' breaking compounds.

[1 waterproofs and decorates at the same time. The Sun-Maid Raisin Growers plant had two applications of the compound.

One of its prime advantages is economy in time and labor costs, since two important steps are taken with one application of the dual-purpose product.

General contractor of the Sun-Maid project is L. E. Dixon, with headquarters at Kingsburg. Painting contractors are Peterson and Harris, Fresno.

Thompson's Color Water Seal is avail' able in custom colors which can be easily mixed by using Thompson's Color Water Seal base and the selected pigments'

It is manufactured by the firm that first introduced Thompson's Water Seal to the market in L947. Headquarters of the E' A' Thompson Co., Inc. are at the Merchandise Mart. San Francisco.

Informational material on the new prod' uct is readily available from the Thompson Company.

MONTHTY TUMBER FACTS

Busy sawmills of the Douglas fir region have ulrno"t caught up with last year's production, turning out 4l percent more io-bet in Septernber than in strike-hampered July. And orders last month were third highest for the Year'

These are highlights of the September summary issued by the West Coast Lumber' men's Association, which also ofiers these comparisons:

Production. at 6,007,658,000 board feet just 41,000,000 behind last year but 3.2 percent off the past five'year average; orders, down 3'7 percent from last year, but above this year's output by a slim 22,644,0M feet and uP last month bY 22 percent over August.

Cargo shipments to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are down another 15 percent this year from last, to a total through September of 586,095,000 feet, a further measure of gains being enlarged by Canadian imports.

W'ater shipments to California at the same time rose 17.4 percent, indicating continued vigor in construction. Export business is up this year by 22 percent, while local sales are down 15 percent.

It is a practical and proven system already in use in a number of progressive, well managed firms and represents the best thinking and experience of successful millwork operators combined with that of one of the nation's leading authorities on cost systems.

'oAnyone using this new system can now plan operations in ad' vance-and know from month to month how they are doing profitwise-without 'waiting in the dark' until the end of the year to learn the full story. Any qualified bookkeeper or accountant can easily adjust an existing system to the new standards, but it is es' pecially important for a company's directing head to understand the chapters on direct costing, pricing, and how the 'break'even' point is worked out."

The manual, which discusses three departments or divisionsmillwork, retail lumber and building supplies-has chapters on the following subjects: Cost accounting, direct costing, definition of accounts, distribution of expenses, accounting for labor, account' ing for materials, accounting for overhead, and pricing. In ad' dition, it has 19 exhibits (forms, charts, etc.) tying in with the text material

Redwood Orders Off in August

Reporting mills show a drop in redwood orders received during Auguit, according to latest figures from the California Redwood Association, while shipments and production rose.

New orders for 43,856,000 board feet were received in August by the 1l mills (both members and non'members) reporting to the Association, compared to 44,516,000 b.f. in July and the re' cent peak of 60,104,000 b.f. in May. Production reached 50,' 734,000 b.f., compared to 39,333,000 b.f. in July and M,277,W0 b.f. in August, 1962. Shipments rose to 50,151,000 b.f. as against 46,589,000 in July and 55,271,000 in August,1962.

Census Burequ Reports On Remodeling Money

The Bureau of the Census has published its report covering residential repairs and remodeling expenditures during 1962. Home owners spent more than $I1 billion on remodeling, averaging just under $250.00 per property, based on all residential properties in the United States.

Last year, 1961 home improvement expenditures of more than $13 billion were reported by the Census Bureau. The Census says the'62 figure does not indicate a decline in remodeling voluttre, claims '61 figure was too high and cautions against comparison of the two. Industry consultant Seymour Kroll has analyzed the report for the National Home Improvement Council's "Newsletter" as follows.

Non-resident owners and owners of large properties are a big {actor in the repair and remodeling market. Total 1962 expenditures for residential additions, alterations, maintenance and repairs and replacements were $11.3 billion. Sixty-two percent of this total was made by owner-occupants. However, $3.9 billion (35Vo) was spent by non-resident owners of housing properties (1-4 units) and owners of properties with 5 and more units.

About $5 billion (M%) was spent to maintain the property. $6.3 billion went for improvements which include additions, alterations and replacements. The typical home owner spent 62/o of his expenditures for improvements. This is a higher percentage than was spent by owner occupants of 2-4 housing units (51%) and non-resident owners of 1-4 units and owners of 5 or more housing wits (49/s).

The building materials were directly purchased by the owners in repair and remodeling projects that involved expenditures which totaled $2.2 billion. Of this total $1.5 billion was for projects that were completed without labor cost. Presumably then, the total expenditures were for materials. Almost one-third of material expenditures by owners was for jobs entirely or partially under contract or with hired labor. In the remaining projects the contractor bought the material.

Room Addition ls Most Desired Remodeling Job

A National Home Improvement Council study indicates that room additions top the list of remodeling projects that families would like to undertake.

A questionnaire circulated by the Council among 1500 homeowners who have attended the Council's 'oHow To Improve Your Home Schools" showed that 76/o of the homeowners were planning a specific remodeling job-and that of these 56/o hoped to add space to the existing homes. Most frequently mentioned rooms to be added were bathroomq 2570; bedrooms, 24/a, and family rooms, IBVo,

Some 76/o of the homeowners planning to remodel were concentrating on interior projects. Of these the most desired were kitchen remodeling 43/o; bathroom remodeling, SL/o, and basement finishing,2I%.

The homeowners responding to the survey showed a realistic awareness of the cost of remodeling. Nearly @/o said they knew what the projects they contemplated would cost. Cost figures were distributed as follows: Projects costing less than 8500-9%; $500 to $1,000-8Vo; fiI,000 to $2,500-17%; $2,500 ro $5,00026/o ; above &5,000-34%.

Perhaps the most significant finding of all, according to Council President Harold Mattlin, was the fact that 39/o oI the people who came to the school planning definite projects have actually now started or completed them.

Conodion Forestry Minister To Address Conference

How Canada is meeting the challenge of managing land in the face of soaring population growth will be described to American land managers here late this year by' the Hon. John R. Nichol,"on, Canada's minister o{ forestry. Nicholson is one of the few cabinet,level forestry officials in the world.

The announcement that Nicholson has consented to address a land-use conference in December was made in San Francisco by W. R. Schofield, president of Western Forestry and Conservation Association, sponsor of the three-day conference. WFCA is a western conservation organization made up of Canadian and U.S. forest resource technicians and leaders {rom both government and industry.

A second major speaker on the program will be E. S. Huestis, director of forestry for the Alberta Department of Lands and Forests. Iidmontorr. Huestis will discuss the development of land use in Alberta as part of a panel session on the people's stake in public lands.

The conference was called by WFCA to grapple with the urgent problem of stretching North America's limited land resources to provide for the seemingly unlimited numbers of people it will have in the future. Speakers with a wide variety of viewpoints and backgrounds have been invited to tackle fundamental questions of how the continent must use its lands to get the most from them. Among the many groups to be presented will be industrial and government forest land managers, organized conservationists, women's club leaders" ranchers. sportsmen. economists. geographers and others.

DFPA Applicotion

Applications for membership have been requested by the recentiy-acquired Independence, Ore., plant of Boise'Cascade Corp. urtd iry Camac Veneer, Inc., of Eugene' the Douglas Fir Plywood Association has announced.

Boise Cascade plants at Yakima, Wash., and Valsetz, Oregon, already are members of the association.

L. C. Nelson, president o{ Camac Veneer, asked that qualifica' tion runs for his plant be scheduled so that DFPA grade'trade' marks may be applied to production starting January I, 1964.

The plywood association's Board o{ Trustees normally acts on applications only at the completion of l0'day qualifying periods, during rvhich intensive sampling and testing of production is carried out by DFPA's Technical Services division.

SWINGING SALE CETEBRATES YARD BIRII-IDAY (Continued lrom

4 to 5 times the normal lor a Fall weekend and the carryover into the rest of the weekend was ercellent. More than 2000 people attended the twoday Anniversary Sale, most of them drawn to the yard by radio spots during the preceding week and a big two-page "bargain day" spread in the Vallejo Times-Herald.

Jim and Betty Jones. who hail from Oklahoma, came to California in I94I and settled in Vallejo where Jim landed a iob with Foster Lumber Yard.

Page 13)

At that time, the company was owned by Gilbert and Hazel Foster who started the operalion in 1929. By 1944, Jim became co-manager of the yard and a year later he purchased the business.

In addition to their New Vallejo building materials center. Jim and Betty Jones also operate at nearby Fairfield. This yard was opened on April 19. 1958, and has since become one of the leading operations of its type in the Fairfield-Travis Air Force Base area.

Togelherness And The Tree Fqrm Fomily

The cult of "togetherness' may have peaked in domestic relations counseling, but it is coming on strong in the hinter. lands, especially where trees are grown as crops.

This is evident in the growing popularity of Tree Farm Families, a relatively new aproach to solving the marketing and forestry problems oI small woodland owners.

A Tree Farm Family is a marketing arrangement whereby a iorest products"firm agrees to supply forestry services to nearby wood growers in return for the privilege of first option to buy the timber when harvested. The wood grower is not bound to sell to the sponsoring company, but does give it the first opportunity to buy.

The o'family" concept is an extension of the popular American Tree Farm System; most Tree Farm Familv members are certified tree farmers. Some companies have as many as 200 cooperators.

By sponsoring a Tree Farm Family, a forest products company not only spreads the technology of forest management but also invests in its own perpetuation. Close personal relations with woodland owners helps assure the company of getting the kind and quality of trees it needs to stay in business. The average cost of sponsoring a "family" runs to about 47 cents an acre.

This covers the cost of supplying seedlings, lending equipment, furnishing management plans, and sending company foresters out to give advice and assistance to wood owners.

About 20 firms in the U.S. now have Tree Farm Family programs; this number is expected to increase considerably in the near future.

Wood growers attracted to the "family" setup are generally a cut or two above the average woodland owner. A recent study by Purdue University found that Tree Farm Families are "better educated. tend to be farmers or business-professional people, own larger woodlands, and tend to be more interested in the economic returns from their woodlands" than the bulk of woodland owners.

But the most significant findings by Purdue was that the majority of Tree Farm members polled indicated they thought their sponsoring firms "are the most effective institution in encouraging the small woodland owner to employ improved forestry practices,"

Since there are some 4/2 million small woodland ownerships in the nation, a great number of which are in need of better forestry, this finding warrants that the Tree Family concept be further studied as a way to solve the basic small woodland ooprob. lem." This is the conclusion of Kerby R. Lauderdale, author of a thesis based on lhe

Purdue study.

Data for the original study were collected from 13 sponsoring firms. and 730 Tree Farm Family members.

Industry Trade Associotion leoders Honored

Two top trade association executives of the lumber and wood products industry have been cited for 'ooutstanding service and contributions in the association management field."

Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C., and Clark E. McDonald, managing director of the Hardwood Plywood Institute, Arlington, Va., have received Chartered Association Executive awards from the American Society of Association Executives. The national organization represents America's leading trade, business, technical and professional voluntary groups.

Noting that the CAE awards are among the highest conferred on trade association executives, N. B. Giustina, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, commented:

"Every lumberman should take pride in having these men, who represent us so ably, recognized by their own professional society."

ANNUAL HOO-HOO ROUNDUP (Cowinu.ed lrom Page 6)

Babe Higgins, Paul Gaboury and Harry Anthony. The high gross distinction was handily earned by Dick l\Ierritt.

Following the tournament and lgth hole activities, golfers and non-golfers alike sat down to an excellent prime rib dinner. "Dessert" consisted of an extremely interesting display of female anatomy, thanks to current Moulin Rouge headliners, Ginger Hazard and Jeannie Monroe.

If any part of the Roundup should be singled out for praise it would have to be the show-thanks to an exhaustive search for "talent" by Frank Billings and Ed Brush. Because of the success of the show the inside dope has it that they'll probably make it a trio next year, so be sure to be on hand for the growing Roundup next September.

The 1963 Roundup, held Septembet 27, also marked the beginning of a new year for Club 9, Dick Hogan bowing out after a fine year of leadership, and Bill Carter of Higgins Lurnber taking over the reins of the San Francisco club. Frank Billings of Cali' fornia Pacific will'serve as first vice-president, and San Francisco retailer Ed Brush goes in as second vice-president. Other officers include: Dave Mackin, secretary; Ray Ryan, treasurer; Larry Owen and Chuck Dickenson, sergeants-at-arms.

Newly elected to the board will be Ralph Mannion, Ralph Hardin, Reg Ricci, Lou Godard and Joe Mullin. Holdover direc' tors include Harry Hood, Bud Byard, Max Cook and Charlie White.

New G-E Mobile Rodio ls Low-Cost, Compoct

General Electric Communication Products Department has engineered a new lowpriced, compact 450 mc. FM two-way mobile radio which is being marketed under the name Accent 450.

Compietely new in design, the equipment features reduced initial cost, quicker installation, lower operating expense and lower maintenance than previous units operating in the 450 to 470 rnc. band.

Use of UHF (Ultra High Frequeucy) channels enables operators of Accent 450 units to avoid competing for air time in communities where congested VHF fre-

quencies are shared by a large number of licensees, In most 450 mc. bands, there are few co-sharers per channel, resulting in greater use of 450 mc. equipment. In some locations, there are enough UHF channels to permit "clear channel" use without sharing.

A new plug-in speaker control head combination is used to provide Accent 450 with mounting flexibility. T'he speaker is built into the control head itself and the same combination is used for either dashboard or trunk installations.

The chassis itself is designed for snap- in, snap-out installation, Units may be quickly repaired without tying up a vehicle for long periods of time. While servicing is qrricker and easier, Accent 450 is serviceengineered for a minimum of maintenance.

To make listening in the vehicle easier, new helical resonators are used in Aceent 450 as a means of improving receiver per-. formance. By weeding out competing signals, they permit better signal reception and inter{erence rejection.

Improved frequency stability keeps the radio "on station," by eliminating the frequent need for vehicles to go out-of-service because of poor communication resulting from frequency drift.

In total, the new equipment is engineered to cut do*'n the amount of time a radioequipped vehicle has to be in the radio shop for repairs and for routine preventa- tive maintenance.

Homeowner Sloroge Cqn Be "Creoled"

Show the homeowner that storage space is where you make it-as well as where you find it.

That's the advice of Lee Seabolt, of the Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Lining Manufacturers Association.

"Many do-it-yourselfers wouldn't think of converting a crawl space, small attic room, or basement storage area into a moth-repellent cedar closet, even though they are looking for additional facilities.

"The dealer who takes the time to review the prospect's storage potential often will be able to make a suggestion that will lead to a profitable sale of red cedar lining, as well as other necessary materials."

The Association has found that handymen like to undertake a project that can

be completed over a weekend. Since cedar closet lining can be installed over solid backing or framing, it goes up quickly. In addition, it does not need any finishing.

A complete line of 8 new high-strength fiberglass ladders engineered for ease of handling and maximum safety in electrical areas is now being introduced by the manufacturers, R. D. 'Werner Co., Inc. of Greenville, Pa.

Four single ladders lO, 12,14 and 16-ft. lengths and four double-section extension ladders 20, 24,28 and 32-ft. comprise R. D. 'W'erner's new "7500 Series." Designed to meet ASA safety code A-L4,2, Werner's new non-conducting solid fiberglass C-channel side rails permit the safe use of these ladders in areas where electrical hazards exist.

Ruggedly built with high-strength heattreated aluminum rungs, these ladders have bright-orange fiberglass side rails, easy to see for extra safety. Each ladder will resist 75,000 volts before arcing between rungs 12', apart and 150,000 volts between tungs 24" apart. It will also resist chemicals, fumes, gases, acids and moisture.

The C-channel design of its fiberglass side rails also provides maximum torsional rigidity and minimum deflection. This is made even more rigid with the serrated, slip resistant mngs swaged to the aluminum rung plates using Werner's patented Alflo@ process. These rung places are securely fastened to the non-conductive side rails with high-strength aluminum rivets. Complete information and prices on Werner's new 7500 Series is available by writing to R.

J-M's GRANADA TERRAFTEX

Mock Trucks, Inc. Shows New, Heovy Duty Model

Mack Trucks, Inc., has developed a new heavy-duty truck model with a foreshortened hood and a raised cab which, it says, combines for the first time the best features of both the conventional and cabforrrard type trucks.

The C series was designed especially to permit truck operators to take full advantage of present-day load and length limits.

"Thisvehicle is tmlya tnrckman's truck," G. W. Brooks, V.P.-Marketing stated. "The foreshortened hood and raised cab permit a full range of powerplant choices, and enable the hauling of 40-foot square-nosed trailers within the 50-foot overall length limit prevailing in many states."

All this has been accomplished in the C model, Brooks explained, by mounting the cab higher above the frame, and moving the cab forward, partially over the engine. This has resulted in a roomier cab, a larger engine compartment to handle higher horse-power engines, and at the same time has enabled the bumper-to-backof-cab dimension to be held to only 89 inches.

Turning to the castles of Spain for inspiration, Johns-Manville has created Granada, a subtle pasteltoned vinyl-asbestos floor tile.

This newest addition to the Terraflex line is available in soft variegated tones ranging from beige through tan, gray and green. There-ari eight cofors in alf and the tiles measure 9"x9"xl/16".

J-M also is offering a free display folder that teatures a color photo of the Granada room settine. shown above, fuli color illustrations of the tile. ant one full-size tile.

The flared frame, widened at the front, and the cab mounting position of the C model, giving more engine room, permit installation of every diesel engine manufactured by Mack, including the new 255 horseporver V-8 diesel.

Ready access to the engine is provided by a fold-away fender desigrr used on both front fenders. Bolted at the rear and hinged at the front, the fenders of the C model

swing wide open for full exposure of the powerplant.

The raised cab enables the average size

driver to see as close as 13 feet, 8 inches in front instead of an approximate 20-foot limit in most conventional truck models. Driver vision is further enhanced by a generous two-piece windshield of. 922 square inches and a sloping hood line. The roomy cab provides more than normal front-toback space and headroom enough to permit the seats to be placed at true chair height of 19 inches. A split steering column provides more comfortable foot room.

Despite the larger cab C model, its weight is approximately the same as previous 89inch Mack tractors.

A 12-volt starting system is standard on all C model units except those powered with the Mack V-8 diesel.

A standard feature of the C model includes a 1,000 square inch cast radiator which provides the necessary cooling capacity for any size engine. Top and bottom

Gentlemen:

Please be good enough to advlse us of the subscription fees including mailing fees by boat.

Incidentally, please let us have a free sampling paper or magazine.

Sincerely yours, B. L. Sakai, Manager, K. Sakai & Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan.

Dear Ole May:

A note to "Thank You" for renewing my subscription to the Lumber Merchant. I received my copy yesterday.

We bought a home at Sebastopol and like it very much. It is constructed of solid 2X4's standing on end, and I believe there are more than a thousand boards in it. It is quite different to say the least. lVe have Y+ of an acre, So far there are only three apple trees on it, but Gil plans on being a farmer (on a small scale of course.) later. We have a lovely view of all the hills around us. This is very pretty country all around here.

IV'e sure miss all the Hoo-HooEttes and Hoo-Hoo's, also our many friends, but do not miss the traffic and "smog," Santa Rosa is only 7 miles away and the coast is 16. We are near Bodega Bay, where Alf red Hitchcock's picture "The Birds" was filmed.

Luther Burbank'swords about this country were "I firmly believe from what I have seen that this (The Redwood Empire) is the chosen spot of all the earth as far as nature is concerned."

We both enjoy the California Lumber Merchant and keep it coming. Best of everything to you and your fine staff.

Sincerely yours, Sallye Biasell

In the forests of coastal British Columbia, the giant Red Cedar often survives centuries of time, wind and weather. Little wonder, then, that lumber cut from this naturally timeless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.

(Continued, lrom Page B)

Twenty-frve years of development lie be. tween the little wheezers of the Mend6cino Coast and the giant Wapama, but in essentials they remained quite similar. The Wapama was built at St. Helens, Oregon, in 1915, by the St. Helens Ship Building Company, one of a complex of St. Helen's lumber industries owned by Charles R. McCormick of San Francisco. Like nearly all of the steam schooners, she was at least in part a San Francisco product, for if her wooden hull were built in the forests of the northwest, her machinery was manufactured and installed in San Francisco.

Charles McCormick had bought his first steam schoonerCascadein 1904 and parlayed her into a steam schooner fleet which included the Klamath. Shoshone. Yellowstone, Yosemite, Multnomah, Willamette, Celilo, Ernest H. Meyer, Everett, Wahkeena, and lVapama. Most were outfitted to carry a large number of passengers, and the McCormick steamers, each with its familiar star.marked funnel, were well known along the coast as well-run ships and "good feeders."

The Wapama was a fine example of the typical oosingle-ended" steam sehooner (engine room and superstructure aft, in the tradition of the early steam schooners); she was about as big as a single-ender

could be built-205 feet long 951 tons, with a lumber capacity of 1,050,000 board feet-and had accommodations for over 30 passengers. For their benefit she was outfitted with a curving staircase leading down from a spacious lounge into a comfortable dining saloon, a touch well-calculated to offset the cramped squalor of her tiny cabins.

A total of some 225 wooden steam schooners were built on the Pacific Coast, the first of the type appearing at San Francisco before 1884, and the last being the oodoubleended" Esther Johnson, built-at Portland in 1923. The steam schooners were manned largely with first generation North Europeans, and the fleet came to ,be known as California's "Scandinavian Navy." Johnsons, Olsens, and Carlsons were so numer. ous that the skippers were differentiated by nicknames: "Midnight" Olsen, ooCaspar

Charlie" Carlson,'oSafe-is-Openo' Gunderson, "Port Wine" Ellefsen, and scores of others.

The Wapama,'after she was sold by McCormick, served the 'owhite Flyer Line" between San Pedro and San Francisco; before the Second Warld War she turned northward, to Alaskan waters, where she ended her active career, under the flag of the Alaska Transportation Company, in 1947.

C. A. THAYER

The C. A. Thayer is typical of the lumber carriers developed on the Pacific Coast during the last great days of sail. Big for a three-masted schooner-measuring 156' in length, 36'in breadth,453 tons, and with a cargo capacity of 575,000 board feet, the C. A. Thayer stands halfway between the little two-masters that scuttled into Mendocino o'dog-holes" in the '60's and '70's and the last huge four-and five-masters that slid down the ways to meet the shipping crisis of the First World War.

The Thayer was built in 1895 by Hans D. Bendixsen at Fairhaven, across the narrows of Humboldt Bay from the town of Eureka. She was one of 35 three-masters built by Bendixsen, one oI 122 built on the West Coast.

The C. A. Thayer was built for the E. K. Wood Lumber Co., and was named for one of the partners in the firm. She operated be-

tween their Grays Harbor mill and California, making occasional offshore trips to Guaymas and Honolulu, under the command of such well-known Pacific Coast captains as C. W. Liljeqvist, ooOle" Monsen, "Gus" Peterson, and Fred Scott.

She suffered near-fatal mishaps when she was driven ashore at Grays Harbor entrance in 1903, and again when her aging seams opened up off Eureka early in 1912. Towed waterlogged into San Francisco Bav after this latteilisaster, she was promptly laid up in Oakland Estuary. The last saiiing schooner had been built in 1905, and the cost of repairing the Thayer approached her total value in a day when the steam schooner was rapidly taking over the coastal lumber trade.

But the Thayer had come to the end of only her first career. She was bought and quickly outfitted by Peter Nelson -for the first of her l3 annual voyages to the salmon salteries he operated in Western Alaska. During the war, when bottoms were scarce, she made winter voyages to Australia with

her old familiar lumber cargoes, and she summered in the upper reaches of Bristol Bay, Alaska, in company with the great square-rigger fleet of the Alaska Packers Association and other major cannery operators.

Both salt salmon and sail were on the way out when in 1925 the Thayer retired to that last haven of West Coast schooners -the Bering Sea Codfishery. J. E. Shields, of the Pacific Coast Codfish Co. of Poulsbo, Washington, outfitted her with dories and a large forecastle for fishermen and for seven seasons sent her north under the command of John Grotle, dean of the Pacific codfishing skippers.

An extended layup in Lake Union throughout most of the Great Depression, brief service as an Army barge during the Second World War, and the Thayer was again in the Bering Sea under J. E. Shield's flag, for five postwar voyages-this time a real anachronism, whose every movement was reported by a history-conscious press. When the C. A. Thayer returned from the

Bering Banks to the codfishing village of Poulsbo in the fall of 1950, her hold filled to capacity with 700,000 pounds of salted codfish, she closed out her eighty-year history of the American codfishery in the Pacific-and the age of commercial sail on the Pacific Coast.

Workers of the World . . . RELAX!

By the mid-7O's many employers will provide their employees with on-the-job baby-sitting facilities and in.plant marriage counselling, a noted Southland executive has predicted.

Edward B. Lindaman. Otis Elevator Company, has envisioned that "by 1975 employers will be directly involved with workers' ofi-the-job leisure in order to improve on-the-job efficiency."

Thirty or forty years ago, Lindaman noted, "work was everything. In the 70's because of automation and steadily rising specialization, jobs will come and go." Thus, employers will voluntarily concern themselves with a worker's leisure time, he stated.

The increasing demand to more efiectively communicate with employees needs a new look, said Lindaman. adding that "business and industry is best qualified to solve the problem." Lindaman foresaw: Shopping centers in the middle of industrial tracts for the convenience of women workers who could do their marketins on their lunch hour; \I/omen visiting their husbands on the jol,; Companies working closely with retirement villages; Executives assigned by their firms to work on community service projects.

"During the past 15 years. man has undergone more changes than he has in the past 2000 years. He has conquered gravity. liberated atomic encrgy and explored space.

"As a result, employees today are more sophisticated than ever before, and management is not going to be able to reach him in the same rvay. The key to reaching employees is off-the-job Ieisure time." Lindaman concluded.

Plywood Associotion Revises Booklets

The Douglas Fir Plywood Association has announced the revision of two publications-a plywood commercial standards handbook and a stressed skin panel components booklet.

The l2-page "Stressed Skin Panels" booklet is a revised and enlarged edition of the {ormer four-page publication. It was designed for use by engineers, architects, builders and fabricators.

The new booklet is a comprehensive compilation that includes load span tables for roo{s and floors and connection details in drawing form for end and edge connections. These connection specifications will be especially helpful to builders.

The revised edition also contains insulation property charts for various types of construction and for use in various weather conditions.

The 154-page "Plywood Commercial Standards Handbook" is a vest-pocket-size publication that has been revised to include a complete index.

New official commercial standards amendments have been added and a separate section explains manufacturing specifications and specifications for specialty siding-sheathing plywood panels.

The revised publication can be ordered free from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma, Washington, 98401.

Celotex Corp. Purchcrses Big Horn Gypsum Co.

The Celotex Corporation, has agreed to purchase all the assets of Big Horn Gypsum Company, including its gypsum board manufacturing plant in Cody, Wyoming. James W.

This is the Royal Suite reserved for the Queen and her entour :ge. It has a magnificent vier,v of Stanle- Park and, naturally, "Scotch Tape Bridgt." There was much happy ice-breaking bt:ween the rooms with everyone readiog € yeryone else's name buttons and swearrng in martinis they would never forget them. To everyone's delight a highly trnregimented and strictly out-of-uniform group of musicians from Kamloops (no, really) breezed through intermittently.

We heard an excellent and highly factrid and statistical (sorry!) talk at Monday's luncheon meeting. Some of us that night saw Jack Carter of T.V. fame, who certainly was tops at The Cave Supper Club. His nimble repertoire skipped every-

where from fractured French to teased hair.dos.

Tuesday morning we grouped in the lobby to enbus, carefully observing o'HooHoo" buttons so we wouldnot mistakenly find ourselves with the other convention group bound for another destination. Ours (three buses full) consisted of a delightful walk through Chinatown (the second largest outside China), and a hardly deserved, but richly enjoyed, Chinese luncheon and fashion show in the exotic Lotus Gardens. Modern, as well as ancient (and unbelievably elaborate and beautiful), dynasty costumes were modeled.

We were co-ed again in tle afternoon when we joined our husbands and other. wise fraternized on a beautiful four hour cruise, complete with unexcelled weather, food and drink. Alterwards, back at the hotel, some of us discovered the dancing was about to end-and no doubt this was for the best.

Wednesday, Convention D ay fi3, blasted

We are pleased to announce that, effective July 1, 1963, the business heretofore known as Davis Hardwood Company, 2150 Oakdale Ave., San Francisco, will be operated under the name of MacBeath Hardwood Company. With warehouses located both in San Francisco and the East Bay, we hope to provide better services for our customers, €rs our increased inventories will permit us to offer a greater selection of sizes and species. Orders will be filled from either yard, whichever is more convenient, and all invoices will be processed in our Berkeley office at 930 Ashby Ave., Berkeley.

We appreciate the opportunities you have given us to serve you in the past, and we are sure that our expanded facilities will prove to be to our mutual advantage in the future.

Sincerely yours,

beautifully by the charming and indefatigable Isabel Scott. Mrs. Scott had to do part time double duty, as her beautiful and talentcd co-chairman, Betty McDiarmid, had to enter the hospital in the mid. dle of the convention. (She is well again and back home-sassy as ever). Wednes. day an interesting ladies trip was arranged to the new and magnificent Park Royal Shopping Center and British Properties.

To round out the social activities, the Vancouver club treated to an unusual (to say the least) speaker at tle Tuesday stag lunch, Sir Cecil Hardmore. (Shades o{ Bill Thompson, t}te German Forestry expert st the San Francisco convention stag lunch). The dinner dance on Wednesday had over 500 in attendance. The entertainment was superior, the dancing most enjoyable, particularly forMr. Lindsay LeMessurier, one of two delegates from Australia, who showed us how "Waltzing Matilda" should, really be danced. Bother LeMessurier dlso gave us a most illuminating talk at the Wednesday luncheon on the subject oI the progress of Hoo-Hoo o'Down Under."

It was the business part of the convention, however, that particularly interested your reporter. Monday, as usual, was de. voted to reports by the order's officers and stafi to sit and hear a group of dedicated Hoo-Hoos express their views on the future of the order. There is a new awareness by the Hoo-Hoo leadership of the responsibilities of the order to its members, the lumber industry and the public. This ma. turing viewpoint augers well for the future.

Tuesday morning was as stimulating as any convention session your reporter has attended in years. The Vancouver planning committee, headed by that entlusiastic team, Dick Scott and Harry McDiarmid, persuaded Ian Mahood, Vice President of the Council of Forest Industries of British Columbia, to put on a wood promotion symposium that could well be copied by the National Lumber Manufacturers As-

sociation and otJrer trade associations who noed so desperately to create enthusiasm among their' members. With very little change, this program could well be adapted for presentation to public or private groups, not specifically interested in the lumber industry.

Other speakers at this informative meeting included: Bill Rhoades, Manager of Canadian Promotion for British Columbia Lumber Manufacturers Association, "Selling In the Backyard Market." Colin Hempsell, Manager Canadian Flywood Manufacturers Association, "Sticking With It' or "fn the Glue." Ron Crey, Promotion Manager British Columbia Shingle Manu. facturers Association. Frederick R. Moonan, Public Relations Director of the Council of Forest Industries of British Colum. bia, "The Global Aspect"-a talk that had us in stitches until Mr. Moonan had to leave the pofium in something of a hurry for what he termed topersonal reasons."

It shoultl be noted that eacL speaker was not only introduced with humor, but had his caricature drawn by a cartoonist, who entertained us with his amusing artistry throughout the senysnlieng very thoughtful addition by the Committee.

A somewhat shortened Concat was held Tuesday afternoon, at which a motley group of 27 kittens duly entered the Gar. dens. That famous line "O Valiant Junior Hoo-Hoo" was unfortunateln and perhaps purposely, omitted.

'Wednesday was another business day on which Forest Products Week was thoroughly discussed. The various competitions for Hoo-Hoo's perpetual prize presented tleir cases. The magnificently carved wooden cat was presented by Art Hood to the Vernon Hoo-Hoo Club, Vernon, 8.C., for a truly remarkable celebration of the week. Houston Club #23 was a very close runner-up. No California clubs entered tJre contest. Convention committees made their reports in the afternoon, and the new of. ficers i,yere elected. (See October issue, page 8).

The formal convention came to d close

with the embalming of Ex-Snark Ed Wade in an always-delightful ceremony, carried on in inimitable fashion by that great HooHoo Ben Springer, assisted by 12 ex. Snarks in attendance at the convention.

Some of the Californians registered were: Art Hood, Sunnyvale; Harvey and Xahie Koll, LeRoy and Dee Stanton, Dee and Ada Essley, Los Angeles; Lyle and Ruth Seibert, Perry and Leoria Smith, San Diego; Iree and Gertrude LeMaster, Sacra. mento; Joe and Lena Derrah, Redding; Sam and Frances Witzell, Arcata; Knute and Virginia Weidman, Palo Alto; Iarry Owen, Al and Marje Bell, San Francisco.

New Producl Prolects From Mill to Job

'Convoy, a new treatment for the pm. tection of dimension lumber and timber against weather damage and fungi-from mill to job-site-has been introduced by Protection Products division of U.S. Plywood.

"A large number of lumber and plywood manufacturers, mindful of inventory losses suffered by warpage, splitting and other problems, approached Protection Products for such a process," says Sid Gartin, In. dustrial Sales Manager for the company.

"As producers of Woodlife, a name syn. onymous with water-repellent preservation, it was thought that we could develop a formula to prevent damage to high-quality lumber in transit and storage from mill through construction," says Mr. Gartin.

The resulting product, Convon is a water.repellent-based, emulsion concentrate for spray application. It is diluted with water in varying ratios depending upon the type of wood and degree of protection required. If the lumber is to be painted or glued, dilution ratios should be four to one or higher. Cost is approximately 40 cents per 1000 feet board measure.

Convoy is used clear or mixed with yellow, redwood, vermilion, brown or green colorants to double as a coding system for identification and merchandising.

Joisl Honger Booklet Avoiloble from TECO

Available from Timber Engineering Company (TECO) is a comprehensive design and descriptive booklet on the firm's complete line of joist and beam hangers. In addition to presenting information on safe working. values and specifications on materials used in the manufacture of the product, the booklet illustrates several applications where joist hangers can be used for more efficient construction.

Available for 2x4 to 4xl4 wood joists and beams, including double 2xl6's to double 2xlds at one-half the cost df old style joist. and strap hangers, TECO-UGRIP hangers are engineered to provide a proper balance between the load carrying capacity of the hanger and the joist or beam it supports. So designed as to eliminate all unnecessary t'non-working" metal, the device makes use of special nails in transferring loads from the joist to the header.

The hangers are precision manufactured from zinc coated sheet steel in either 16 or lB gauge (certain types available in 14 gauge ) Special nails are furnished with each carton of hangers so that there is no chance of the carpenter using the wrong size of nail. Only one size nail is used with each hanger to avoid confusion or error as to oowhat size nail goes where.tt Laboratory tested, the hangers meet FHA Minimum Property Standards and are approved under the Uniform Building Code.

Copies of the joist hanger folder can be obtained without charge by writing Timber Engineering Company, 1619 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.

ioint strips for use wherever siding courses are butted are included with each siding order.

"The Colorlok system is designed for

extremely fast on-the-job application,'

Mein noted, ooand can be handled by one man using ordinary tools.o' Each siding piece has a hardboard vented spline and beveled top edge, allowing the entire length of a course to be quickly aligned and locked into the course below.

The bottom starter course utilizes a hook-shaped metal strip and is nailed to ":ituds e half.inch fmm tho top with 8d galvanized nails. The next course is then slipped into place, with its locking spline engaging the beveled top below, and nailed in place. The siding overlaps one inch to completely conceal nailheads.

The introduction was described by Marion as "an exciting new development lor dealers and builders" and added that initial dealer reaction has been most encouraging. ttWe expect entlusiaem to mount ag distribution pipelines are filled and consumers as well as the trade learn what Colorlok can do for them. It's a real attention-getter as well as a tmly new tlpe of quality product."

New Tiles Boost For Eost Look

The Far East look of rich colors and deeign has been translated into a new luxury vinyl tile being introduced by the Armstrong Cork Company.

Inspired by the intricate designs and un. usual colors of Indian paisley prints, the new product, called Paiselle Vinyl Corlon Tile, combines its unique design and iridescent colors with outstanding performance characteristics.

The elegantly Eastern flavor of the new vinyl tile provides an opulent, three-dimensional effect, which is recommended for decorative areas of the home where luxurious furnishings are desired and for prestige installations in commercial and institutional interiors.

Coordinated with the seven colorings in the new line are seven plain patterns featuring the iridescent colors without the paisley design. The Paiselle Plains are de signed for use as border features or for

unusual custorh effects for individuality.

The seven colorings in the Paiselle Vinyl Corlon line include sapphire, gold, bronze, ruby, emerald, amethyst and topaz.

Suitable for use on-, above,- or belowgrade Paiselle is available in l2x"l2" tiles and in 36"x36" untrimmed sheets to provide material for on-the-job cutting of special size insets. Both sizes are made in /6inch gauge.

To assist resilient flooring retailers with the promotion of Paiselle Vinyl Corlon Tile, Armstrong is offering a "2-in-L" merchandiser display kit. The display kit can be opened to create an attractive counter display for l2"xl2" samples of the complete Faiselle Vinyl Corlon Tile line and LL/z"x 3" samples of all seven Paiselle Plains.

The kit can be closed for use as an outof-store selling tool for personal calls on interior designers and other key prospects. The "2-in-I" display kit can be obtained from Armstrong sales representatives or wholesale distributor salesmen.

PREFINISHED WOOD SIDING

(Continued lrom Page 28)

ible redwood manufacturer and a responsible paint manufacturer team up as we have done in the development of prefinished siding, you can be sure that both demand of each other superior quality in materials and application before they will lend their names jointly to a prefinished product," said Van Beckum.

The paint is described as providing service superior to that heretofore possible because it is a non-oxidizing film with greater film elasticity. Longer color retention, reduced chalking and increased mildew resistance are other improvements in the quality of the paint.

Van Beckum said the factory painting consists of the use of all vertical erain redwood, ts which two coats of pii*., "r" successively applied. These are followed by a white finish acrylic latex coat to a

total thickness of 4 mils. or sreater. Also a newly compounded pigmentled water repellent, far exceeding specifications and performance of previously used materials, back-seals each piece of siding.

Added to this is a specially developed concealed fastening system which anchors the siding from the back and eliminates the need for face nailing. This prevents puncturing of the prefinished paint film through face-nailing, eliminates the difficulty of color matching exposed nail heads with the siding and eliminates damage of the paint film or marring of the siding as a result of hammer blows.

The concealed fastening system was designed to further minimize paint failures caused by moisture condensation between walls and siding. The fastening system provides an automatic vent space between each siding course, permitting moisture breath. ing and preventing the possibility of mois-

ture being trapped behind the siding.

The fasteners, developed by Timber Engineering Company, are strips of galvanized steel nailed to the sheathing. The siding is attached by tapping with a rubber mallet so that the teeth are driven into the back, where they expand to provide strong attachment.

Fasteners wi,ll be lurnisheil with the pre. f.nished siding through renil lumber d,ealers.

Simple illustrated application instructions, included for each job, have been developed following two years of field testing various fastening methods with builders and construction engineers.

The fastener strips are applied vertically to the studs. The siding courses are then easily fitted against a tab which serves as a self-aligning feature, and the siding is tapped into place against the teeth of the fastener strip.

The teeth in the fastener expand as they imbed into the back of the siding and an' chor it solidly; however the fastener is designed to enable easy removal and replacement of any siding piece, should damage subsequently occur.

The absence of face nailing not only adds to the life of the paint film, but contributes to the beauty and uniformity of the paint surface. The fastehers also provide the bevel siding with a deeper, fuller shadow line which builders felt added to the appearance of quality and beauty.

Builders have particularly favored the advantages of extending the building season because the siding can be applied fin-

ished during weather that would otherwise cause painting delays.

It also has been pointed out that should a color range be desirable, PALCO's paint prefinished siding can easily be repainted -an advantage over materials which cannot be refrnished by conventional painting methods.

The factory application starts with the siding moving through counter-rotating brushes that insure complete cleanliness from dust particles on face and back of the siding.

The first prime coat of an off-white alkyd resin primer is applied and mechanically brushed in. to better fill and seal the wood.

After preheating, the siding then receives a second primer coat application in a curtain coating machine. The two-coat system of applying the primer effectively reduces strike-in, and provides a more uni' form surface before application of the final coat. The face, edges and ends of each piece are sealed with primer.

The back is also sealed with a new pigmented back-sealer specifically formulated for the prefinishing system.

After oven-drying, the siding is again brushed front and back, then preheated, and given the final coat in a curtain coater with Sherwin-Williams exterior white latex acrylic top coat paint.

On Saturday and Sunday the yard is converted to a self service operation. Berkot carts are available for customer use and a special cashiers check-out stand is main' tained at the main gate to offer the shopper fast service following selection of materials needed.

The streamlined, modern facility is situated on a 212 a$e site in the center of the

downtown area of Spring Valley. Many of the customers are active in truck gardening, chicken raising and small farms. Re' gardless of their needs they are attracted to Star Lumber via various means of ad' vertisingn which i4clude radio, TV, direct mail and newspaper coverage. "We secure our best results through the classified copy in the various nev/spaPers and the yellow pages of the telephone book," said Tom Marshall.
