An lmporlqnl Announcement forr Our Reoders

TT IS WITH considerable pride that we are able r to announce that the name of one of the oldest lumber and building materials magazines, Western Building Reaiew, has been acquired by the California, Lumber M erchant.

You'll notice that the name of this venerable trade magazine now appears with our name on our cover and on the table of contents page. It is an addition we are happy to make.

We like to think that it augers well for this new year of 1965 that we are entering and that it will complement the other changes and improvements that we have worked so hard to bring about to make Califonr,ia Lurnber Merchant an even better magazine.

Western Building Reaiew has long been respected by the rpembers of this nationally important industry that we serve. Founded in 1924 by C. D. LeMaster, the magazine built an enviable reputation, due in large part to the great amounts of talent and hbrd-work that Mr. LeMaster put into it.

We are pleased to include here the letter that he wrote us on the addition and are encouraged that his sentiments for the future of CLM closely parallel our own. His letter reads as follows:

"The joining of the names Co)ifornia Lumber Xlerchant and Western Bu.ild,ing Reuiew is a natural result of good judgement and the trend of modern business.

"There is no need of a trumpet for any honest, brave or useful act; neither is it necessary to rely

on posterity to perpetuate the memory of good deeds.

o'Both of these journals were born in the midtwentiesalmost 'twin bom'and both have thrived well and this move will add strength to your purpose and a better service to the industry.

"I am happy to congratulate you.

'oI predict that this will move this Journal to top rank among the Lumber Trade Press of the United states and canada''o

yours sincererv.

C. D. I*M"st."

Founder of tl-re

Western Building Review

We hope that you will find this newet move forward by California Lumber Merchant will mean an even better magazine for you to read, enjoy and profit by in your business.

Next Month-The Flood Disosler

The deadly destruction of the rain and floods that turned Christmas time into a disaster for the Iumbering towns of California and Oregon was just in process as we went to press on this issue.

Next month we will have a complete report for you in words and pictures by a special two man team of reporters that we are sending to cover the story. It is the kind of news that we hate to see, but news it is. Like other unhappy happenings in our industry we will give you the full story as we see it. Look for it in our F-ebruary issue.

Dealer's Profitable Sideline Seli Fencesl

T)EALERS LOOKING FOR a profrtable -u sideline to fill the gaps between busy periods could well follow the lead of a heads-up southern California retailer who seems to have found sn 4nsr r41-\a/ood fences.

"We didn't mean to get into the fencing business, but the demand was so great we just couldn't help it," mused Bill Cofiey, bossman at Lumber Land, fast-becoming headquarters for the do-it-yourself trade in burgeoning Huntington Beach, Calif.

During the peak season in the summer, Lumber Land moves more than a truck and trailer load of wood fencing materials per day. One day, in fact, the yard sold more than a carload of fences.

When owner Cofiey saw how he could expand his operation by ofiering installation services, he applied for and got a contractor's license. He now has two trucks

These suggestions from the California Redwood Association can help you in expanding your sales of fences and fencing materials.

| -Srr"L full-scale sections of several fence styles.

They could even be a part of your property fence, so long as they are in a place where they can be used to help customers choose the type of fence he wants.

2-Display fences should be priced.

This way the customer can determine just how much a six-or eightfoot section of a selected fence style will cost, either installed, if the dealer offers that service, or pre-cut if that is the way it is to be sold.

3-Post a chart which illustrates basie fence designs which you can supply.

These, too, should be priced for the customer's information. In addition to standard fence designs, the dealer should provide for the fact that many homeowners want, and are willing to pay for, a custom fence designed to their own particular needs. The dealer should have idea booklets, slides with a viewer, and other photographs or illustrations which show custom designs that the customer can select. The dealer can then do a material and labor take-off and estimate the cost of the custom fence.

4-C^rrya stock of fence material in inventory.

This way you won't lose a sale to a more far-sighted competitor across town.

5-Make use of advertising aids to bring customers to Your store.

CRA ofiers free newspaper ad mats and other promotion materials to help you in preparing advertising. Several wholesalers of fencing materials (Union Lumber Co., Tarter, Webster & Johnson and McCormick and Baxter for example) also ofier literature and promotion aids that will bring inquiries and help you close the sale.

f,-Use labels or placards on your jobs while they're under eonstruction.

Nothing sells fencing like a fence going up next door.

Here's a new way to get more remodeling business.

Nobody can completely standardize remodeling jobs. They're all different-to design, to bid, to build. But the American Plywood Association's Add-a-room program simplifies the process as much as possible. lt's based on actual plans for the eight most-wanted room additions -specific home improvements, far

easier to sell than intanglble ideas or decorating suggestions.

These room additions, developed bY remodeling specialist Don Moore, can be fitted to almost any postwar house. Yet they are easily adapted to individual needs. lt's the first home improvement program to combine the economY and simplicity of such basic plans with the sales appeal of flexibility.

Actual working tools of the Modernizer's Kit are described at right. You also get lists of bona fide sales leads, prime prospects for home improvement ideas and materials in your area.

More than $l billion will be spent this year on new rooms, new floor space. This Add-a-room program glves you the tools and sales support to get your share. See coupon at right.

Here's what the new Add-a-room Modernizer Kit includes:

The Modernizer's Manual-a cotnprehensive 16-page book with information on how to estimate, finance, design and sell room additions. lt's written especially for dealers, builders and contractors who are in the remodeling business or want to get in; includes specification sheets, estimating blanks for two basic room additions.

WfILLIAM G. GRIEVE, Building Marv terials Distributors, Inc., Stockton, i Calif., was elected president of the National Building Material f)istributors Association .durine the l3th annual convention in mid'Nou"tib"r. The Chicago meeting was attended by more than 850 distributors, manufacturers, and industry executives.

Other officers elected were: First vice president, L. H. Crofoot, Western States Plywood Corp., Santa Fe Springs, Calif.; Second vice president, J. F. Dillon, Great Lakes Distributing Corp., South Bend, Ind.; Treasurer, H. A. Almand, Jr., Booker & Co., Tampa, Fla. S. M. Van Kirk is general manager of NBMDA.

A possible 25/o increase in sales for ,luilding materials wholesale-distributors by 1968 was predicted during the keynote session of the convention.

Richard W. O'Neill, editor, House & Home, made the prediction during his discussion of the future of the American housing industry. He said:

"By 1967-68, more than 2 million housing units will be built, and distributors sales could go up at least 25/o because of the thousands of new products that will have entered the market by that time."

O'Neill also predicted that by 1967-68, about 50/o of all single family homes will be prefabricated, and that all homes will

Westerner William Gri

utilize prefabricated components to some extent.

'oThe builder will need many subcontractor suppliers, and wholesale distributors certainly can get a share of this tremendous new market. And, in the next thirty-five years, we will be adding 50 million housing units and replacing 50 million units. A new man-made environment will be created in the next four decades." he stated.

He said that the government may play a big part in the development of the housing of the future; but, he added that the {ederal government prefers to allow free enterprise to fill the need if adequate service businesses are available.

O'Neill cautioned that today, the average $18,000 price of a single family new home is beyond the financial reach of 60/a oI the nation's families; and that the government may step in to fill this gap with public housing, or a big share of this market may fall to the less expensive mobile home.

SEEK PROFIT IN CHANGE

A virtually unanimous call for building materials distributors to take advantage of, and seek new business and profits in a changing pattern of distribution was sounded at a panel discussion.

Appearing on the panel of 'oThe Changing Character o{ Traditional Distribution" were moderator Jack Parshall, editor, Iluild,ing Supply News: J. E. Kindregan, vice president and general manager, building products, Johns-Manville; Don Moorg assistant vice president, Masonite Corp.; and A. J. (Andy) 'Watt, vice president, U.S. Gypsum Co.

Parshall pointed out that a recent intensive study .indicated that while future business may be good or bad for individual building material distributors, the outlook for distributors collectively . "is now great, and will continue to be great for very far into the future."

Kindregan indicated that the future progress of individual wholesalers may depend greatly on their ability to change with and profit by the constant changes in the industry. He traced the history of distribution for the past 30 years, and pointed out how swift changes led some to predict that building materials rvholesalers would disappear by 1975.

"While the distributor may cease to handle some products, he will become increasingly important in the distribution of many more-such as floor, wall and ceiling

NBMDA President

products, translucent panels, and many others," he said,

U.S. Gypsum's Andy Watt spoke out strongly in favor of distributors seeking ways to grow and profit through change. He said there is no reason why change should put anyone out of business-providing they are ,prepared to target their marketing efforts to take advantage of change.

N,IITTWORK PROFITABTE

Millwork is profitable for a building materials distributor to handle" but it takes a good amount of capital and trained personnel to get into the business and keep it running smoothly.

This was the conclusion of a panel discussion on "Should The Building Material Distributor Be Marketing More Millwork Items ?"

Herman Thomas, Dierks Forests, Inc., Hot Springs, Arkansas, told the council that many independent distributors are now using millwork as a leader item.

"If you want to get into the niillwork business; you must complete five - steps first," he pointed out. "These are 1. make a survey of your market and make sure there isn't an established millwork jobber in your marketing area.

"2. Obtain trained personnel; 3. be prepared to meet the financial requirements involved; 4. design a training program for

o Pre-hanging doors is still .a problem in' .: the distribution industry because of the competition from the dealer, the pre'hung;,'u_$ door specialist, and the carpenter. '

o Stock millwork can be flexible; it takes;!' promotion on the part of the distributor to convine.e the architect of this.

o All distributors attending the meetings said they allowed return privileges. Several indicated a 30 day time limit on returns, with a $2.50 return charge. Others said they charged from 10 to 15 percent of the total purchase price on returned items.

Plans. for promoting t!" contin"ed growth of plywood markets dominated the Plywood and Lumber Council session.

Other points brought out at the discussion included:

Wood's lmoge Sogging

An editorial in the December issue of Wood, and, Wooil Prod.acfs. ebhorts the wood industries to launch an all-out drive to "rebuild wood's image."

Events during the past year-the scandals over fraudulent grade stamping. the conflict over softwood size standards, wet-vs.dry lumber battles, and regional and species fights-have seriously undermined wood's public image, the magazine declares.

'oNo small contributor to the industry's much-impaired image has been the deplorable indifierence of the rank-and-file members. Many highly-capable and successful men have sat idly by and left the whole monumental problem to a handful of dedicated men who were willing to work for industry advancement."

The editorial alEo ialls for "greater industry unity and more individual involveinent in industry problems."

Our western forests grow more than trees. Modern lumbering, plywood and paper product industries also mean economic groMh and better living to the West. To move these products for building and furnishing homes and industries, dependable transportation is essential.

To fulfill that vital need, Union Pacific provides an array of equipment including

extra wide door freight cars.and a growing cushioned-load fleet.

These modern facilities, combined with the latest electronic traffic controls and communications, supervised by skilled personnel, assure products of forest, farm and factory safe, swift and efficient transportation -the automated rail way.

I think it is because of the times we are living in, and the threats that hang over the world. Vorld War I developed a million good stories that were heard in spitc of the cannons' roar, and read in spite of war headlines. World W'ar II did not develop half a dozen really good stories. all told.

That's why good .toli", "r" - ,"* u,,l ,u. between. We hear a lot of "gug." over the air, but they are not stories, and most of them are not funny. We usecl to think that laugh-creators were divided into tn,o parts: rvit and humor. I[it wasn't one, it was the other. But the radio and TV "gags" of today must have founded an entirely new school of thoLrght. They are just "gags''.

And they are not of the kind or character to help take the thoughts of people ofi the troubles that depress them.

I read a mixture, an unholy mixture, you might say. My every day and every night reading is a made sort of hash ranging all the way from Bible to buncome, from bile to benevolence, {rom gall to godliness, from history to hysteria, from the heights of ancient history to the depths of modern slang. I draw the line at popular novels. Never read one, Too many of them and too few of me. I love history, philosophy, wit, humor. adventure rvhen well written, and particularly eloquence and oratory. I read and mix them all. I cordially despise fireside drama, and can't swallow a line of sob stuff. I have two years reading piled up alongside my reading chair right now, I shall never, of course, catch up with the things I want to read. As I read, I make notes, I write, re-write and-(whisper)-I steal, just as all writers since the dawn o{ time have done. Yes, that is one thing I have in r:ommon with rvriters. Vhat I like. I take!

I I HERE'S plenty of design interest in this home-the kind that makes one house a stand-out in any neighborhood. It also provides an uncluttered plan that combines good looks, comfort and livability.

The unigue oriental styling of the exterior has been achieved by combining several design features. The cedar shake roof-which could be replaced by shingles if economy is necessary-has two difierent roof slopes. A false beam projects from the top of each roof gable. Stone veneer is specified on both the garage and house while the same stone has been used in forming several difierent shaped and }eight planters. The windows are framed by heavy pieces of vertical wood on the front elevation and are also used between the windows to form panels of stucco. If preferred, this stucco can be replaced with vertical wood siding. The same vertical pattern has been used on the garage door.

From the entry door, which is protected from the elements. there is convenient circulation to all rooms of the house.

The kitchen and its generous cabinet space are located so as to serve both the over-sized nook and the dining area with ease and efficiency. The nook is well lighted by corner louver windows.

The forced air furnace and water heater are in the garage. The garage which is now directly connected to the house could be separated by a breezeway during construction if the lot is of sufficient width.

The outstanding feature of this home is the large combined living room-dining area. Wide sliding glass doors which let in ;unshine and provide a view of the outdoors lead from this room as well as the master bedroom and den to the spacious rear patio.

The family and master bath are backto-back and both have pullman lavatories.

The master bedroom has two wardrobes. A shoulder high window provides cross ventilation without interfering with furniturc arrangement.

Lod-Rack Cantilever Arm Racks, with side or front loading, are the fast, low-ost way to store lumber, ply, masonite, laminates and a host of other commercial and industrial ptoducts. Erection is simplici$ itself, exclusive double-lock lug action lets the load arm simply snap into position. There are no loose pieces, no hooks or bolts to slow installation.

lYhen storage requirements change, support arms are iust lifted out and replaced where required. Available for drive-in or drive-through installation there are virtually no height or load limitations.

Federql Groding Control?

The possibility of federal legislation to regulate lumber grading and marking is the subject of an article-'oC,an The Lumber Indus' try Police Itself ?"-in a recent issue of Engineering Neus-Record.

Reviewing recent developments in connection with the fraudu' lent grade marking of construction lumber, tfl-R rePorts: o'spokesmen for the industry and its trade associations say they lelieve the industry itself can close the loopholes thet permit falsely-marked lumber to get to market. Privately, however, some lumbermen and government officials admit they doubt thfu, and they predict some sort of federal legislation that will regulate lumber grading and marking.'o

In an effort to head off any serious drive for federal regulation and controls, NLMA passed a resolution which (l) urged all recognized grading agencies to require that, to the extent legally practicable, all softwood lumber to be used where strength is a factor be graded and grade marked at the point of manufacture, and (2) instructed NLMA's stafi to seek adoption by building code agencies of mandatory grade marking require' ments for all softwood lumber intended for load-bearing purposes.

dN-R quotes New York building official Fred J. Davis, a leader in the fight to stamp out phony grade markg as stating that the abuses aren't confined to New York state which so far has received the brunt of publicity in connection with the scandals. The situation is at least as bad in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticu! according to the building expert.

Housing Strong in 1965

An initial analysis of the National Association of Home Builders annual Fall survey of the housing markets indicates residential building, while levelling, is moving along at a strong pace that will continue into 1965.

This analysis, reported by NAHB President William Blackfield, apparently coincides with the assessment of the housing picture by federal housing experts.

'oAs far as wi can determine," Blackfield said, "top government housing offfcials are making the same estimate of the situation."

Redwood Pqrk Drqws Criticism

The Redwood Region Logging Conference board of directors hab advised the National Park Service that it is opposed to all three recent plans for the establishment of a redwood national park, according to Sam Arness, conference president.

The conference directors listed the following reasons for opposition to the park proposals:

(l) Additional withdrawal of private lands for parks will work an economic hardship on the local business economy.

(2) An adequate representative sample of old growth redwood is already preserved in state parks, probably the largest sample so reserved of any growing product.

(3) More development of recreational facilities is needed on existing public lands, and particularly state park lands.

(4) Young growth redwood has an esthetic quality, in view of the fact that many state park campgrounds are constructed in young growth redwood stands.

(5) The importance of the tourist business in the redwoods is acknowledged, but is not likely to return the same income to the area which is now generated by the timber industry.

(6) The economic section of the National Park Service report is inconsistent u'ith any of the specific park plans, and does not show the lull efiect of loss of dependent manufacturing plants and other related economic activities of the community.

The next session of the logging conference will be held at the El Rancho Hotel, Santa Rosa, March Il-I2, 1965, Arness reported. Program highlights will include a panel on park and preservation plessure, another panel on "What's New in Equipment," another on new trends in the industry includine effect of pulp economy, and discussion of U. S. Forest'Service tiriber sales.

Government Chorged with "Big [ie"

The president of the Western Tfood Products Association has charged that "recreation and park needs are being used by landcovetous government bureaus for justification of empire-building . throughout the country."

In a two-page statement to the press, WWPA President John S. Richards criticized proposals to create a redwood national park, asserting: "It is most deplorable that the misrepresentations on the redwood situation have reached the point of the 'big lie technique."'

Richards said the idea of a redwood national park practically ignores the fact that California's present park system embraces more than 107,000 acres of the best redwood groves. These trees are being preserved in natural wilderness surroundings in 28 state redwood parks, he pointed out. The WWPA leader added that a redwood national park would wreck the economy of communities in the North Coast area and put California in the poverty category.

is the exhibit and social roorn on the second floor of the modern new building r.r'hich is available to organizations through. out the area at no cost.

The first big afiair was an art exhibit in November but during the winter and sprirrg months this room is being reserved by civic and social groups of all kinds. "We consider this to be a community service and know it will develop the 'goodwill' for which it was intended," Horak said.

Glu lams are rapidly iinning the interest of architects and contractors, and, of course' dealers'want to be in a position to handle the sales. The technical data given dealers by a panel of experts will smooth the road to this grolving market.

Over seventy dealers and their associates turned out for the first glu lam meeting we staged in Fresno and advance registration shows that by the end of the series some two hundred dealers and their employees will have been brought up'to-date on glu lams.

Serving as instructors for the clinics are: Tim H. Brooks and L. E. BoYd of Weyerhaeuser ComPanY; Tom Brassell oI American Institute of Timber Construction; Gerald H. Griffin of California Sugar and Western Pine Agency; Bo Shibley and M. H. Mun' ger, Union Lumber CompanY; and Dennis Coombs, Tarter, S'ebster and Johnson. We are planning other seminars for the future which will also aid our members.

MEET B0B McBRltN of LMA, whose monthly column will appear regularly in this space. Bob will be talking about the retailer and the business in general in northern California.

LMA participation at the Dallas convention of the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association was greater than in recent years. A contingent headed by President Clair Hicks represented northern California dealers at not only the convention, ,but also the national board o{ directors meeting and a special regional meeting covering specific areas of interest to dealers in the West.

Making the trip to Texas were: Frank Heard, Elmer Rau, Homer Hayward, Art Masters (who is still tasting a special Mexican dish he ordered), Bud Barber, Joe Schram and yours truly. For a special report on activities at the convention, please see our Monthly Bulletin.

We've added a new member to our staff-Miss Janet Johnson. a most able young lady who will handle office correspondence, telephone requests for information . and a myriad of other details which keep LMA humming.

Her immediate impression of northern California lumber dealers is "they certainly use the telephone a lot to keep their businesses running smoothly." It might be added that Janet kept a record one morning and had twenty-five calls in two hours before she gave up keeping score.

ADD END . . . Charlie Cross, Truckee Lumber Company, is beaming these days at the popularity of the new gondolas operating at Squaw Valley.

Although its Gay Nineties exterior might bt' a little deceiving, the Acme Lumber store and yard is as modern as the slogan which adorns the sien outside "First in Quality & Service Since 1963."

l'ormerly the Olds Bros. I-umber Co.. Acme l-umber Company came into lreing when Naglc Lumber Company of Winslow purchased the busin.ess following the death of Warren Olds.

Fiftieth Anniversary of UC Forestry

' Dean Henrv J. Vaux of the School of Fbrestry, University of Californiao Berk"Ly, addressing the 50th anniversary t banquet closing the two-day program,

called upon the whole profession of for-

more efiective instrument for applying forestry research, and indeed the output of the whole 'knowledge industry,' to the technical management of forest resources.

ing fewer hours and fewer years, and the jobs they do becoming "less like worlg?' recreational pressure on the forests has increased five-fold in 10 years.

"rtry to "e:<ploit the full efiect the oppor-

tunities the universities ofier to harness

sci"ttc" to the needs of forestry in the in-

terests of society." He urged a bridging

of the gap between forestry research and

on-the-ground forest management.

"On the side of science," he said, "we

are challenged to make the profession a

'oon the side of society, we are challenged to make the profession a better instrument for the creation of public understanding of how forests may best serve the interests of mankind."

In a land of afiluence, where people live in forests and work in cities, the boundaries of forest land tend to blur.

Further, with nearly all persons work-

Profi:ssional foresters, then, face conflicting forces: urgent need to contribute to the economies of the country'sforested regions, pressure to use forests for recreation, and heavy pressure to preserve forests in their natural state.

These and other problems facing the sciences of forestry were reviewed during a two-dav observance of the 50th anniversary o{ forestry education at the University of California in early December.

More than 400 UC forestry alumni and members of the northern California section of the Society of American Foresters took part, arrang,ed under the general theme, "Forestry in Science and Society."

SERIOUS CHATTENGES

Forestry's position as the industrial base of many communities, in this country and in less afiluent ones around the world, is one of the serious challenges to sciencc, said Dr. John A. Zivnuska, UC professor of forestry and dean-designate of the school. "For all of our afiluence." he said. o'we still have large regions of low income and deficient opportunities. To a disturbing degree, these coincide with major forest regions. There is a compelling social need for forestry in its traditional role as a developer of the economy."

Dr. Horace R. Josephson, director of economics and marketing research, U. S. Foret Service, predicted that by the year 2000 the United States will again see agriculture drawing upon forest lands for planting space to feed an expanding population. The timber forester, he said, will have to do a better job in management of the land available. and better use will have to be made of wood harvested.

Ralph D. Hodges, forester for the National Lumber Manufacturers' Associatiou. declared the industrial forester is concerned with the social needs of his own local community but finds the current concern of lawmakers pointed toward other aspects of forest resources,

"There is a high level of conservation consciousness in government nowr" Hodges said. "Laws passed by the last congress are oriented toward forest users living in urban areas. How about the needs of those dependent on the forest product?"

Dr. V. Lester Harper, deputy chief of research of the U. S. Forest Servioe, suggested changes in the thinking of foresters, among them that forestry broaden its concern to all trees, including those in parks, shelterbelts, and landscapes-that afiect the quality of the environment. He urged more scientific work in the area of policy affecting use of forests and forest products.

U.S. Plywood Lounches Budget Hickory Pqnel

Craftsman hickory, first nationally advertised panel in the budget-priced Craftsman category, has been added to U.S. Plywood's line o{ Weldwood hardwood paneling.

The new random.planked panel ranges from a warm cinnamon brown to a medium tan in color. Hickory, with its distictive grain pattern, is another Weldwood panel from the family of American woods.

Nearly everything about hickory is uniquely American. Transplanted American hickory thrives in some areas of Europe today, but the native European species is believed to have been wiped out in Europe in the Ice Aee.

Always choose a nail long enough to go through the corrugation peak and catch the sheathing below. Minimum length is Lr6' for l% " roofing, and. 124' for 2)4 u roofing. Ifroofing is being installed over old material, nail must be long enough to reach solid sheathing below.

Pioneers iri the American South. east of the Mississippi, discovered great stands of hickory and valued the species both for its durable hard wood and for its nut crop. It was extensively used for tools, furniture and lumber throughout Colonial times.

The Craftsman line is in the Weldwood Blue Label category of budget-priced prefinished paneling. Other categories are the Gold Label line of luxury paneling and the Red Label low-price line.

DRIVE AARAEO RING SCFEW SHANK SHANK

Usually, the type shank depends on the type wood into which the nail is being driven, and the applica- tion of the roofing. The screw shank is superior when used in green br wet wood, the ring shank satiefactory for dry wood. Remember, however, the screw shank has greater holding power.

The customer whose metal roofing and siding stande up to sun and storms, blows and snows, because you've sold him the nail which locks and seals the metal to the sheathing is the cuetomer who comes back to you for all his building material needs.

Nqtionql Housing Show

Chicago became the U. S. housing capital for a week in December as the National Association of Home Builders staged its 2lst annual convention-exposition belore a record-breaking audience of more than 30,000.

New products and new ideas designed to spur new home construction, lumber's biggest single market, underscored the "Operation Teamwork" theme of the five-day meeting.

The floor space of six football fields, at Chicago's elephantine McCormick Place, was covered by exhibits constituting the largest collection of products for the home building industry ever assembled under one roof. Demonstrations and special programs presenting the latest techniques in virtually every phase of home building sought to show builders how they can improve their operations by drawing on the knowledge and experience of other NAHB members.

Stiffen Plywood Quqlity Control

Stifier quality control requirements and modernized testing procedures have been adopted by the softwood plywood industry as part of a program aimed at eliminating all defective plywood from the marketplace.

The new policies are modifications of a 2S-year old system credited with making plywood the fastest-growing basic industry in the Federal Reserve Board index. They went into eflect Janu' ary 1, 1965.

Quality control has not kept pace with manufacturing advanceso according to an industry spokesman, and a tiny {raction of structural plywood has fallen below industry standards in recent months.

The new procedures, which include drastic penalties for manufacturers who fall below industry standards, were unanimously adopted December 3 in,a special meeting in Salem, Oregon. It was the largest gathering of its kind in the industry's history and brought together I5B policy-making executives of 92 companies, who produce more than 95 percent of this country's plywood.

NEW LOCATION: 85OO Wilshire Blvd.

Beverly Hills,Colif.

Phone: 657-4660

The quality co,ntrol changes are the result of a study that began about five years ago and that already has produced new testing methods, which went into efiect in mid-1964. An industry committee created to investigate the possibility of upgrading gluelines in construction grades of plywood is scheduled to make its reeommendatior.rs early in 1965.

$1.5 Million Promotion Budget

The most vigorous and skillfully planned promotion, advertising and sales campaign in the historv o[ the western lumher industry is being launr:hed during 1965 h1' the Western \{'ood Products Association, according to Wendell ll. Barnes, executive vice president.

He reports that nearly $I.5 million will be invested by the association during the year to maintain present markets and materially increase the sale of lumber products produced in the l2-western state region represented by his organization.

In recapping 1964, Barnes termed the rnajor realignment of coastal and inland lumber mills into the Western Wood Prod-

ucts Association, the industry's most sig. nificant news. He calls the new alignment one of the most vital steps ever taken on lrehalf of the western fore-st region's (.r'onomy a step thal will have [ar-rear.hing regional and national effects on the production, marketing and use of lumber for years ahead.

"We expect, and must find ways to overr,ome dilfrcult and divisive areas presented hy log exports, foreign lumber imports and inequities in transportation rates," Barnes said. "But, by and large. the overall picture o{ the new year is one of continued and substantial growth of our in. dustry based on 196,X's regional five-year peak production of 19.5 billion board feet

up from l8.l billion in 1963 and more than 2.4 hillion or,er prodtr<tion I0 vears ago.

"The western lumber industry's r.(.onomic wcll-being is dependent upon pol)ulation growth and improved marketing mt:thotls." the trnde association olfir:ial explained. "A r:ontinued rise in population will put a --steady strain on much of the nation's already obsolete family housins and an increased building program in both single and multi-family units is a foregone conclusion just to keep pace with growth.

SAWMIIL: ARCATA, CAtlF.

A GROWING number of coot-conscious n "o-p.rries are finding windfall re' turns in a most unlikely place-their old freight bills.

fhey are turning these dusty documents over to freight trafrc audit bureauS that make a business of scrutinizing shippers' freight bills to ferret out overcharges by the various carriers. For the shipper, a recovered overcharge means revenue that might have been lost forever if an eagleeyed rate expert hadn't spotted an error. These freight bill checking firms work on a commission basis of 50 percent of the recovered overcharges. Thus the shipper has everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Ideas for Profit Sent to You

There's Gold In The

Most of the shippers probably do not realize there are over 20 ways in which overcharges on freight bills can occur, due to the mistakes of either the shipper or the carrier.

One building materials shipper was saved $40,000 because a raie expert noted a rate technicality which entitled the shipper to a lower rate. This technicality had gone

unnoticed by both the shipper and carrier for years.

Through such recoveries some 250 freight bill audit firms acro*s the country are saving over 100 million dollars per year for shippers. With freight rates by most carriers having more than doubled since the war, shippers are more anxious than ever to seek savings. With many new items on the market, plus many other factors that increase rates, more than 100,000 new tariffs are issued each year by carriers.

In hopes of wringing some extra cash from their freight bills, about 80 percent of major industrial firms in the country send out their freight bills for audit. Many of the major companies with extensive traffic departments audit their freight bills first, and then send them to audit firms in hopes they will uncover errors that they themselves have missed.

woutD toSE $tso,ooo

One enthusiastic subscriber, a large mail order house, states they would lose $150,0O0 per year ifit weren't for an outside audit. Even after a careful audit by its own staff, a large meat packer saves many thousands of dollars a year by an outside audit. Some firms even let out the actual audit of freight bills to the audit firms before payment of their freight bills. One of these firms is a large farm implement manufacturer in which overcharge recoveries have ranged from $85,000 to over $125,000 annually.

Frequently o'errots arise from the shipper's own wrong description of their goods." One firm was sending out its product as finished castings, at a rate of $4.85 cwt., while actually they were rough casting and entitled to a rate of $1.69 per hundred weight. The result was a saving of over $f00,000 for .several years. Even though freight bill audits save firms thousands of dollars per year, the freight auditors suggestions on cheaper rates, routings, methodg packing and so on can mean greater savings that can't be measured.

One freight bill audit firm {ound that a packinghouse product was misdescribed unknown to them or other packers, so they were paying 25 percent higher rates. The description was corrected and the saving amounted to $90 per carload, or $54,000 a year, for tlre group of shippers.

One eastern railroad official says one routing technie,ality noted by a rat€ expert coot the eastern railroads over one million dollars in refunds for overcharges on ship-

ments of fresh meat from the Midwist to the Eastern Seaboard cities.

Some rates change so fast that the carriers can't keep up with them. One railroad lowered its rates on potatoes $l0O per car, but the shippers were billed at the higher rate until it was brought to their attention by the rate experts.

Sometimes it is the complexity of tarifis that make for overcharges, such as the technicality in tarifis called 'oaggregate of intermediate rates." Due to a rate adjustment it becomes cheaper for a shipper to move goods through a number of intermediate points than to ship directly from origin to destination on a so-called through

rate. By revealing these rate irregularitie*,,'l rate analysts can save. shippers sizeable' sums.

Some rate structures are so trickv thaf -.. in one case on shipments of a certain. , commodity from Texas the carriors so dif-' i fered in their rates that with nine carriers r. participating in different routes they as. .r4 sessed nine different rates. and none was".i. right.

Another service that these freight bill audit firms perform is a pre-audit of the freight bills before they are paid. Thus they catch the overcharge on the freight bill immediately and prevent further over;' charges on future shipments.

Low Cost, Big Effect Wood Promotion

How a local group of retail lumbermen and suppliers staged ont o{ the most successful promotions o{ wood on record is thc story of a rect'nt effort bv W.0.O.D.^ Inc. of Denl'er.

l,umber dealers. wholesalers and manufacturers--the 45 who comprise W.O.O.D., Inc.-pulled energetically together in a pre-Christrnas promotion of the "second home" 6a1[g1-6nd it cost their association a net outlay of only $2,000.

They multiplied their "mileage" in public impact many times over by joining forces with a major Denver department store in its campaign ertolling winter sports in Colorado. Thc store, May-D&F,

inr-ested $150,000 in its "W'onderful World of Winter" promotion.

Leaders oI W.O.O.D., Inc. enthusiastically insist that any community group interested in boosting sales o{ wood products can achieve similar success by using the same formula, while changing theme, size arrtl details to suit lheir own consumer area.

For the Denver promotion, the lumber group built a full-size Swiss chalet on the plaza, at the {ront doors of May-D&F and the Denver Hilton hotel. Also, its members furnished lumber and plywood for 25 supporting displays in the downtown store and its two Denver branches.

1'o boost public interest in winter sports, llay-D&F- erected a ski slope on lumber scaffolding down from a third-floor openirrg to the plaza skating rink. and scheduled ski and skate stars from the region's winter resorts {or free demonstrations.

Nationally, Sports lllustrated, mag,azine dc'r'oted 12 pages to one Colorado ski mecca, and supplied 25,000 copies of a l2-page booklet, which featured the chalet. Iioth May-D&F and W.O.O.D., Inc. bought {ull or half pages for advertisements in llre Denver newspapers.

POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS

Up to 500,000 people were expected to visit the chalet and other exhibits over a lwo-month period. For three weeks, the chalet was shown fully furnished bv the store as a vacation home, then it became castle and throne room for Santa Claus rurrtil ChrisLmas eve.

In all, an estimated $50"000 was spent on predominantly wood construction and promotion. The two-story chalet was o{ Iurrrber framing, plywood exterior and lurnber interior. The Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine and redwood interior was stained in mustard gold, sea blue and hrowns.

W.O.O.D., Inc. sperrt close to $7,000 on this vacation home campaign, but recovered $5,000 on sale of the chalet as it stood. 'fwo lumber manu{acturers and several other member firms gave materials, while crecting a structure that is to be offered in dupli"aiion aL $13,6fi).

l'. Clifiord Schmidt, president of the Denver group, rated the chalet project as "l:y far the best promotion in our ten vears."

"This kind of promotion can be put logether in any community where all lum' ber interests can work together as they are doing in Denver," he declared.

Brooks-scqnlon Merges

Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., Minneapolis-based manufacturer of lum' ber and wood products, and Willamette Valley Lumber Co., Portland, Ore., have announced the incorporation of Brooks' Willamette Corp., according to Conley Brooks, president of Brooks-Scanlon.

Officers and directors of tlle new corporation are William Swindolls, Portland, president; Conley Brooks, Minneapolis, and John M. Hollein, Minneapolis, vice president, and A. R. Morgans, Portland, s€cretary-treasurer.

Capitalized at $5 milliono the new company will proceed immediately with necessary planning and engineering to build a large particleboard and plywood plant, adding a substantial payroll in the central Oregon area.

Planing mill shavings for the plant will be drawn from the central Oregon region. Production from these shavings, which are presently being burned, will round out a long-range utilization program for Brooks-Scanlon and other mills in the area.

Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., organized in Minneapolis at the turn oI the century, owned timberland and mills in northern Minnesota, Louisiana and Florida in its early years of operation. The company's holdings are now primarily in Oregon with executive headquarters in Minneapolis.

Rqil Rqte Reduction Asked

Representatives of major western lumber producer and wholesale groups met with executives of the western railroads on December 8, in Chicago. Their purpose was to make western industry recomrnendations for proposed rate decreases on wood products shipped to eastern markets as well as for simplification and clarification of loading rules which have been irritating to western lumber shippers.

H. M. Tanzer of Portland represented the Western Lumber Marketing Association before the rail carriers and asked that railrates on eastbound lumber products be reduced to re-establish the historic rate relationship that existed between the West and the South before southern carriers gave their lumber producers a 20 percent rate reduction this past July. Tanzer stated "that any reduction which is not sufficient to allow the western producer to regain competitive entry to his historic midwest and eastern markets will bring further demands in future years to complete the jo,b, and will meanwhile hurt our western forest economy." WLMA earlier this year supported rate reduction applications, which were turned down.

At Chicago, carriers took another look at the need for reductions. All the representatives of the western lumber industry, appearing at the Chicago hearings, detailed a growing loe.s of business to a resurgent southern lumber industry now armed with particularly advantageous rates to markets previously served from the West.

More Products from Bork

A marketing move intended to expand greatly the outlet for a common commodity has been announced by Weyerhaeuser Company and Wilson & George Meyer & Co.

The commodity is Douglas fir bark.

Bark makes up about l7 percent of the average Douglas fir, but it cannot be used in the manufacture of lumber, plywood, hardboard, pulp, paper, and most other products made from the tree.

Veyerhaeuser and Wilson & George Meyer Co., ll -year-old Western distributor of chemicals, agricultural products, fibers, plastics and home and garden products, have entered into a marketing association to serve the home and garden field with bark products.

G-P Sends 26 to College

Twenty-six freshmen are attending college this term as the start of four-year scholarships they have been .awarded by the Georgia-Pacific Foundation, according to Marion L. Talmage of Georgia-Pacific.

ooone hundred twelve students have received college grants from Georgia-Pacific since we began this program," Talmadge said. "The scholarships are awarded every year in areas where our company has major manufacturing and tree farming operations."

The G-P scholarships are renewable each year, Talmadge said, depending upon the students' performance. Winners only have to be citizens of the United States and residents of the areas where the company operates major facilities. The dollar amounts of the grants vary, depending upon tuition and other costs, and can be worth up to $4,000. Since 1955, Georgia-Pacific, or its predecessors, has awarded over $300,000 worth of scholarships and the program was expanded this past year.

"The basis for selection of our scholarship recipients is a combination of important qualifications," Talmadge said, "scholastic achievement and intellectual ability, need, character and potential for future contribution."

Plon to Hypo Wcrlnut Growth

An intensive new research program designed to increase the volume 'and quality of walnut in the next I0 to 15 years by accelerating the growth rate of existing immature trees has been announced by the American Walnut Manufacturerso Association. A major feature of the program will be establishment of the Walnut Research Center at Southern lllinois Universitv in Carbondale, Ill.

"This is a critical period for the future supply of American walnut, the nation's moet valued hardwood," AWMA's Donald H. Gott said. "Long famed as the prestige wood for furniture, paneling, millwork, novelties and gunstocks, it is in almost consiantly increasing demand. The supply must be increased as soon as possible to avert a future shortage."

Gott explained that boosting supply by simply increasing the nu4ber of plantations is a long-term proposition requiring 35 to 40 years lor growth.

"But through this new approach," he declared, "we hope to increase the supply appreciably in a relatively short time. If we can speed growth so that a l0-inch diameter tree becomes a 20inch tree in the next l0 years or so, we'll be a long way ahead in providing ample quantities of walnut lumber and veneer. We feel confident we can do this."

Preliminary research, he said, has shown that the growth rate and quality of l0-inch trees can be increased substantially by four basic measures. He outlined the measures as: (l) Pruning, which improves quality, and releasing the trees. (2) Eliminating weeds, grasses and underbrush. (3) Adding fertilizer to the trees. (4) Increasing the amount of water available to trees during Iow rainfall periods.

What opportunities exist for marketing U.S.-made finished wood products in Japan?

This was one of the questions posed by National Lumber Manufacturer's Association stafi members recently to an 11-man team of Japanese business leaders touring the U.S. and Europe to learn more about Western selling techniques. The group, representing firms with a total employment of about 75,000 persons in nonwood industries, indicated that housing may be one of the fields worth further exploratory discussions by U.S. producers wishing to increase their sales in the Orient.

(Continued lrom. Page 13)

estimates of the number varied in direct proportion to the time of day . or should we say night.

Again this year the weekend was scheduled for the high desert" about 100 miles from Los Aneeles at Green Tree Inn. a resort just outside Victorville.

The desert, usually warm and sunny at this time of the year, was heavily splattered with snow, much to the distaste of those who had arrived in Bermuda shorts. But it looked good, even if it slowed down the sun and swim set. Luckily, the club had already planned to golf elsewhere as the greens were about the consistency of an Eskimo Pie.

Focal point of the entire outing was the dinner dance. And no wonder as the efficiency and skill of the prize committee had turned that part of the party into a veritible horn of plenty. This year they had door prizes for every female who attended, wives, guests and children alike. This was in addition to general drawings for door prizes and the golf prizes.

The prizes, paid for with money that the prize committee had enveigled out o{ warm-hearted companies, averaged more than $20 in price. They were, of course, a big smash with the gals who won them. A lot of credit is due Frank Quattrocchi and his committeemen who hustled up the money for these prizes and to the promotion-minded companies that donated the money.

The golfing session, always a big favorite of the club, was held away from Green Tree Inn at Juropa Hills, a country club in Riverside about forty-five minutes away.

Twenty-five golfers turned out for the tri-flight fight. Norm Wendell won the first flight with a 76; Joe Contestibile was second flight winner at 87 and {requent trophy winner Don Johnson took the third flight prize with an 83.

To aid distributors and dealers in purchasing and stocking, McDonald explained that the survey showed rankirg of species according to percentages of total sales. These include: birch, 30/o; Laran,2L/o) gum, l2/e; walnut, 9/o; oak, 8/o; other domestic (pecan, cherry, elm, maple), l6/a; other imported., 4/o.

McDonald stressed that distributors and dealers should stock in conformance with

survey averages for maximum sales potential. "Also," he said, 'oyou should display full panels of different types, finishes and species with low, average and high prices so the customer can see what he is buying."

The speaker pointed out that many dealers refuse to stock anything but unfinished products, particularly sash and door jobbers. 'oThis is a mistake." he said. For those who object to stocking prefinished because they fear losses due to damage during delivery, McDonald stated that new wrapping techniques and truck storage racks are solving these problems.

Distributor and dealer advertising and promotion must also be modified to adjust

to market demands, McDonald advised. He'l suggested that distributors make an effort'l to imitate the joint Canadian Government"r' Canadian Hardwood Plywood Associatioil promotion, now touring the U.S.

The display features a variety of bircb plywood panel samples set up in a trailer. Tour of the display is hosted by "Miss Canadian Birch." 'oSomething of this na. ture could be developed by a distributor for local residential area promotion," McDonald ofiered.

The speaker concluded his remarks with a plea for distributors to develop local level wood promotion groups such as the field training classes his association conducts.

Mqsonite Corporation will begin marketing of a new flakeboard panel product under the brand name "Presdflake" early in 1965, according to F, O. Marion, vice president, marketing.

It will be the first time in recent histo'ry that the company, originator and world's largest producer of hardboard, will move into other types of panel products, he said.

"Presdflake," a compact multilayer panel composed of fine wood flakes with a resin binder, will be marketed through Masonite building material distributors and dealers as well as through a variety of industrial channels, Marion said. Manufacturers of furniture, kitchen cabinets, counter tops, interior doors and similar products are

among major users of flakeboard.

Hardboard, the company's principal product, is a more dgnse material made of compressed wood fibers and different from flakeboard, which is ,a thiek, light weight product made from wood flakes. Correspondingly, the uses for building and in industry are considerably different, Marion explained.

Speeifications of the "Presdflake" line will exceed U. S. Dept. of Commerce commercial standards and will 'incorporate g number of exceptional performance features, Marion said. Pricing will be competitive with "good grades of flakeboards now on the market," he added.

rolling full-time during the summer, and his two crews install an averase of 20 fences a day.

This lucrative fence trade didn't just happen. It's the result of a skillful merchandising program organized by Cofiey over a period of several years.

A firm believer in advertising, Bill takes a full page ad on the back cover o{ the "Pennysaver," a local shopping guide distributed throughout Huntington Beach. In his ad, he uses ad mats to illustrate the various tlpes of fences he ofiers, each

priced per lineal foot. He features an advertised special each week.

To answer inquiries, Bill had a brochure printed showing the 15 difierent {ence styles which he carries in inventory. Each is priced per foot installed, or, {or the do' it-yourselfer, per foot for materials only. He has ,*everal models displaycd at the yard and also eives free estimates on custom jobs. Most popular styles have proven to iie cedar grapestake and redrvood i/g hoard fences,

Financing on fence jobs has been worked out for the homeowner through a local bank. Lumber Land ollers three-year bank financing on all jobs over $125.

No novice in the buildinq materials busi-

ness, Coffev was operating his own door business in Anaheim in 1959 when he spotted a used lumber operation that looked like a natural for a retail yard. The prop' erty was particularly attractive since it had a good chunk of frontage on the main boulevard in Huntington Beach, then a semi-rural area just beginning to boom'

Bill leveled the lot, burned all the scrap lumber left around and Lregan building Lumber Land from the ground up. Since then the yard has grown with the community, now the site of several housing tract developments. A 52-acre shopping center was recently completed across the street from the yard.

Cofiey's operation now boasts an all new

Sryialistsin Quality lmported Hardwood Plywod

showroom with handsome redwood tongue and groove siding, over 300 leet of selfservice lumber and plywood bins and a large, neat-as-a-pin parking area.

Among the hottest sales items at the yard are paneling and plumbing fixtures. In an area with so many new houses, paint and mail boxes have also proven good sellers. Lumber Land stocks a -full line of Security paints, including a handsome display rack.

Handling the office and bookkeeping chores at the yard is Cofiey's wife, Vancie. Top hand is assistant manager Lloyd Gentry.

Bill expanded hir operation recently when he bought out the Golden Rule Lumber & Plywood Co., in El Monte, Calif.

"But operating two yards in different cities is a little too much for one man." he says, "so now I'm looking for a buyer for the El Monte yard."

Another unique feature at Lumber Land is their handling of customers. Rather than counter men, yard men, drivers, etc., all employees are trained to do everything. They pick up their customers in the showroom, help them select what they're looking for, do some custom cutting if asked, load it up and even sell them paint, nails or whatever else they might need.

Coffey's merchandising philosophy is a simple one: "treat them right and give them good service, and they'll be back again and again."

Dear Max:

A funny thing happened to me on my way to Dallas to attend the N.R.L.D. convention.

I had taken the Novembel issue of the California Lumber Merchant with rne and was enjoying reading it on the plane very much. Hou'ever, it developed that a very charnting passenger occupied the seat next to mine and subsequently I put my copy of the magazine in the pocket in front of the seat while dinner was being served. After dinner, this lovely passenger asked if she might look at the magazine as she was interested in the lumber business.

One thing led to another and natulally I didn't ask for my copy of the California Lumber Merchant back when I got off the plane at Dallas as the lady was thoroughly engrossed in reading it and she was going on to New Orleans. I had the choice of either going on to New Orleans ol being a complete heel and asking for my magazine back. Since neither one of these alternatives seemed appropriate at the time, I deplaned, leaving my copy 'with the lady.

If at all possible, I would like to obtain another copy inasmuch as I did not have an opportunity to read much of this issue. Anything you can do to be of assistance in seculing an additional copy for me would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely yours, Bernard

Dear Ole:

A few months ago you published a note I sent you on Kenya. In reply to the calls and letters from lumbermen I thougl.rt the best way would be to lvrite again.

Any visitor to Kenya will be enthralled by the world famous Stanley Game Reser"ve within the Nairobi city limits. Wild animals of every kind and description can be seen from your'

For those of us in the lumber industly, the virtuallY untouched Mount KenYa folest of 400 square miles with its cedarlike trees, its African red colored lvoods and white colorecl lvoods ale a lefleshing sight. There is a small English-owned circular ail dried sawmill similar to the small cilcular mills around Nevada City in Califot'nia.

If one gets to Kenya, staY at the Treetops Hotel at Neli. This is the shack built in the rvild Fig Tree on the edge of a salt lick which is wor:ld famous.

Princess Elizabeth rvas there with her husband, Plince PhiIlip, the night King George died. The hotel rvill accommodate 20 people who are taken in and out by a hunter. Reservations must be made up to six months ahead of time. The top floor is a large observation deck from lvhich pictul'es can be taken. They turn on lights to illuminate the salt lick about 4 p.m. evely afternoon. The lights are on all night. Nobody can adequately desclibe the multitude

Neri, Ken-va is a beautiful place vvith streets lined rvith tall tlees resembling our Western red cedals. The Boy Scout founder, Lold Baden - Pot'ell spent his last yeals here. The Italian war prisoners built a chapel for their fallen ait' general, the young Duke of Aosta. during World War II. Nearby is 10,000-foot Aberdere Mountain and its forest from whele the Mau Mau used to launch their deadly attacks, and then retreat, a decade ago.

Olympic PreSloining Mochine

Details of a new and improved machine for pre-staining lumber, plus three new solid color stains, were introduced at the National Association of Home Builders Show in Chicago by the Olympic Stained Products Company of Seattle.

Visitors saw Olympic's full range of stains and allied finishing materials. Included were ooGolden Sand," "Olive Branch,o' and o'Beige Grayi' new colors dictated by current fashion trends.

The new "Olympic Stainer" will make it possible for lumber yards to pre-stain enough lumber in one hour to surface the exterior of an average house, according

to Olympic's general sales manager George Oistad.

It flows stain on the wood through a system of rollers and power-driven brushes.

Plywood Stondqrd Vole Upcoming

The Hardwood Plywood Manufacturerso Association, formerly the HPI, at its 1965 spring meeting will again consider and vote on a proposed standard for factory finished plywood.

The new, and much simpler standard proposed for consideration is as follows: The panel shall be evenly covered with finished material applied either

in wet form or dry film. The panel shall be coated with one or more coats of an acceptable finish properly cured. Acceptable finishes include penetrating sealers, shellacs, laquers, varnishes, syrrthetic resins, and any other materials that ivill provide a commercial quality aesthetic surface. IVaxes may be factory applied onto an acceptable finish. The finished panels shall be free of orange peel, scratches, pin and pit holes, dirt specks, waviness and sagging.

This simpler standard now under consideration by the HPMA replaces the complex standard proposal turned down by HPMA at its 1964 fall meetine.

Terrible 20 Poslponement

The 4.62nd Terrible Twenty Tournament was held November 20, a beautiful golf day with a beautiful setting.

tsob Osgood won the low bracket with 8l-11"4-74, and Emil Lug won the high

bracket 94-20-74. (Bauer conocdcd his tie score.) In the match play John Parr won the high bracket for the first six months by beating Connolly on the 20th hole.

The Bill Gee and Cliff Simpson was not played, as during "brunch" a neighbor phoned Gee his house was on fire. Though his wife wasn't trapped he hightailed it to Pasadena anyway! I don't know if he had an extinguisher in his car or he thought the Democrats had closed up the Pasadena Fire Department. However, upsetting a l3B-year tradition, the club voted a postponement of the finals match with Simpson until December.
