Arizona Convention
(Continued from page 48) million, despite industry objections' have been shelved by budget cuts.
He praised AL&BSA exec. v.P. Frank Davis for his role in the fight to eliminate an exemPtion for masonry in Arizona from energY standards. He said that "masonrY proposals seem political and that the rules prevent home buYers from becoming aware of masonrY's Poor performance compared with wood. The standards are not equitable." Hitchings said they are asking HUD to set new standards for "thermal performance that are based on technical factors, not politics."
In other association business the group commended Frank Davis for his role as managing officer of the group, noting the Progress made during his 16 years with the Arizona association.
New officers and directors were elected. New president f or l98l-1982 is Bob Ramsey, O'Malley Cos., Yuma; lst v.p. Jim Stewart, Stewart Building & Roofing, Tucson; 2nd v.p. Don Hossack,
O'Malley Cos., Phoenix; and treasurer John Wyss, Ray Lumber, Lake Havasu City.
The convention next year is taking a respite from the usual alternating of Phoenix and Tucson as convention sites to convene in Flagstaff, Az., May 19-21, 1982. It will be held at the Little America Hotel.
The final business feature on the program was the organizing meeting to officially inaugurate the Young Lumbermen of Arizona as an offshoot of the AL&BSA. Please o
Elected new president was Steve Garrison, Mallco Distributors, Phoenix; Bill Herman, Kaibab Industries, Phoenix, lst v.p.; Kelvin Hamman, Larry M. Hamman Lumber, Phoenix, 2nd v.p.; and Peggy Foster, O'Malley Retail Div., Phoenix, secretary.
More than 100 were present for the first meeting. President Garrison said that the group planned to put their greatest emphasis on education, communication and interaction, to help toward their target of professional improvement. He noted that they extend a welcome to anyone under 39 in the industry to join.
Speaking to the new group was Dave Miller of Publishers Forest Products, Portland, Or., who reviewed the economic situation and the resultant high cost of logs. An important factor driving up prices, he said, was the reduced harvest allowed from the National Forests. The low sales price for lumber, in relation to log costs, means that some producers are losing $25-$75 per thousand board feet and that more bankruptcies could be expected should the situation continue for a protracted period.
Miller said that producers and dealers "were all in this together" and that the industry would "be better for the experience." He said that retailers could look for more production to be in fewer hands and that they may well face changes in supply.
The convention then moved on to the annual banquet, the official end to yet another very successful convention for one of the country's strongest and best run associations, which has again set new records to challenge in the future.
