Forest Service feels that nniticatinn tor 

 other similar projects and that such 



ahead with all 



ties should 

 move would greatly improve 

 conditions in the commercial field. Through uniticatiou Mr. Clapp said 

 hetter utilization is realized, with resulting increases in stumpage prices 

 and increased value of timlier. whit-h naturally affords a greater incentive 

 to grow timber. Through such unification the manufacturers would 

 also be better able to meet the rlemand. John Foley. Forester of the 

 Pennsylvania System and W. C. Nixon, Secretary of the National Asso- 

 ciation of Railroad Tie Producers also expressed the belief that such 

 steps should be taken as will bring about the necessary specifications.

Memphis Plans a Dance to Celebrate Improved Hardwood 

 Conditions 



The remarkable improvement that has developed in the hardwood market 

 within the past few weeks was reflected at the semi-monthly meeting of the 

 Lumbermen's Club of Memphis, held at the Gayoso hotel. October 29. It 

 was one of the jolliest meetings in the history of this body of lumbermen, 

 its exuberant tone being in marked contrast to the pessimism and hopeless- 

 ness that characterized the attitude of hardwood lumbermen during the 

 period of e.xtrenie depression. 



The optimistic feeling was manifested in a practical manner by F. T. 

 Dooley, who made a motion that the entertainment committee be instructed 

 to make immediate arrangements for a "dinner," a "dance"' or a "party" 



of some sort. For more than a year the members have not felt very much 

 like giving themselves over' to entertainment and pleasures. But the 

 motion of Mr. Dooley struck such a responsive chord in the hearts of all 

 present that it was carried by unanimous vote. The committee has already 

 carried out instructions and has announced that a buffet luncheon and 

 dance will be tendereil by the club to its members, their friends and 

 families at the Colonial Country Club the evening of November 10. 



P^arl Palmer, chairman of the sales code committee of the National Hard- 

 wood Lumber Association, gave a brief report of the efforts his committee 

 is making to ascertain the views of all branches of the hardwood trade 

 regarding Mhat "should or should not enter into a sales code," a fuU 

 account of which appears elsewhere in this issue of Hardwood Record. 

 I'resident Ilines stated, in this connection, that the sales code committee 

 of the club, which carried a sales code before the last annual of the 

 National association, would canvass the members of the local body and 

 ascertain frttm them their ideas of what the sales code to be recommended 

 to the next annual of the association shouhl be. .1. H. Maassen, a member 

 of the sales code committee appointed by President Taylor of the National 

 Association, is also a member of the sales code committee of the club. 



Cecil A. New, assistant secretary of the Southern Hardwood Traffic 

 .\ssociation, was elected an active member, and one new application for 

 membership was filed by tbe proper committee.
