Lumber Paneling Ranks
High, Is Very Versatile .
people are coming lo realize
rnoie and more that wall paneling?
noil not be used in strictly tradi
tivnal ways. Rcautilul though it is
in curly American houses or re
iioductions, it hag become an eye
stopper in modern architectural
leims. The real reason (or its ever
increasing popularity is its versatil
ity. The varying textures and color
ossibi)ibiles of lumber paneling
in i two of its most appealing char
acteristics. Add to these features a
leal branching out in installation
designs, and you can see how and
why paneling has kept pace with
decorating trends, offering both
beauty and practicality.
As an example of the scope of
paneling, the Western Pine Associ
ation points out that more and
more home - owners are using
rough-sawn, etched, or stippled
planeling as well as the more fam
iliar sniooih-siirfacod tytie. Though
these same people may often
t-hoosc a wood stain, clear finish,
nr paint, a great many of them
re turning to the increasingly
popular pigmented stains which
lend richness of color but allow
the natural characteristics of the
wood, such as grain, texture, and
knots, to show through.
To round out these new con
cepts, people are installing their

paneling in refreshing new ways
No longer tied exclusively to hori
zontal or vertical patterns, they
are installing lumber paneling in
herringbone, diagonal, and even
rcdial designs. They are also call
ing on board and batten, board
and gap, and board on board treat
ments for use inside the house.
These all add up to a new appre
ciation of paneling's flexibility as
well as its beauty, for paneling
is a building and decorating ma
terial that works well almost any
where. Some of the most readily
available and easy to work species
come from the western pine re
gion. There are 10 woods from
this area ponderosa pine, Idaho
while pine, sugar pine, lodgepole
pine, inland red cedar, incense ce
dar, larch, Engelmann spruce
while fir, and Douglas fir.
Quite apart from new effects
are the relatively new uses for
paneling. One of these is in bath
rooms where high humidity for
merly made lumber paneling im
practical. Now, with good commer
cial sealers, wood appears on walls
and in built-ins in many modern
bathrooms and often finished with
the colorful pigmented stains re
ferred to earlier.
Your lumber dealer or, if you
wish, a decorator can give you a
great deal of valuable advice on
how best to use paneling and on
how to get it to work for you in
intriguing and practical new ways.

PANELING WORKS WONDERS Western pine paneling can work in many ways.
incense cedar was used for walls, built-ins, and decking for the ceiling. The beams are
Douglas fir. A door of matching paneling can be dropped down over the television set
when it is not in use. Note, too, now the stereo speakers under the TV and in the wood
bin are balanced on either side of the handsome fireplace. The charming overall effect
is one of richness, but the room has been kept simple.

SACRAMENTO (UPI) A sen,
committee is going lo find out if
the California Fish and Came
Commission has been paying atten
tion to Booz, Allen and Hamilton.
The Senate Fact-finding Com
mittee on Natural Resources, head
ed by Sen. J. Howard Williams
iRPorlervillel, recently held a
public hearing lo examine recom
mendations made in the consult
ing firm's $100,000 report.
The report resulted from a year
long study of operations of the
Fish and Game .Department. It
contained a number of recommen
dations in its SOfl pages.
Williams said in a news release
that although the final report was
submitted December 8, 1!I58, "as
yet none of the major recommen
dations contained in the report
have been put into effect."
A spokesman for the deportment
immediately took issue with this
xliitement.
As an example he cited these
recommendations:
1. The Marine resources divi
sion should be disturbed as little
as possible. This has been done.
2. Conservation education be
broadened. This has been done.
3. T h e department's monthly
magazine be changed to stress re-,
search and program of the de
partment. This is in the process
of being done.
I'se . preilitor control only
where game are doing severe dam
age. This has been done.
5. I'se special seasons to solve
deer problems in some areas. This
is being done.
$. Cut down the antelope herd
through a controlled hunt. This
lias been done.
7. llurvest elk. The commission
tried an unusual method of doing
this, by peddling them to zoos and
private individuals. This did not
irk but the public won't accept a
hunt, according te the spokesman
I. Kliminate the game farm sys
tem. This is being done so far as
possible: right now it's being con
solidated. 9. Use money from the put and
mVf program lor more land acipii
sition. Said the spokesman: "Well,
we'd certainly like to but imagme
the public reaction if we eliminat
ed put and lake.
10. Review policies of releasing
upland game to the wild. That's
being done.
11. Reduce catchable trout bag
limit. The department determina
lions this year are to reduce the
statewide limit to 10, substituting
tor 10 in the south and 15 in the
north.
Williams' committee apparent
ly plans. to go into organizational
and financial recommendations of
BA&II. including recommendations
that the state be divided into four
rather than five regions as well as
22 land districts and three marine
districts.
Another recommendation of the
consulting firm was that the de
partment headquarters should be
the top-level part of departmental
organization. Williams intends lo
find out what has been done about
this recommendation.
Williams said his committee feels
the recommendations represent
;uch a radical deparlure from the
current functional and organiza
tional structure of the department
that it is the committee's desire
to give each proposal careful con
sideration lo determine whether
or not the suggested changes are
practical and financially feasible."
Sportsmen groups have been in
vited to participate in the Decem
ber hearings.
The department spokesman said
the agency is busy preparing its
case lor the hearing.
Meanwhile William E. Warne. di
rector, took time out to answer
criticism from another legislator.
Assemblywoman Tauline Davis
D-Porlola), chairman of Ihe low
er chamber's fish and game com
mittee.
Without mentioning Miss Davis
by name. Warne said that reports
that fish and hunting licenses will
lie increased in cost next year or
two "are not true."
"The department's surplus has
increased materially to more than
four million dollars since the in
crease two years ago ami our long
rane plans are keyed to main
taiping a reasonable balance be
ten income and outgo without in
vieased lees," said Wain.
