The secret ingredient in Red
Cedar shingles and li a k e s
which makes them well-suited
to exterior use in home con
struction is Mother Nature s
own preservative. Called thu
japicins by scientists, these
natural oils are prevalent in ce

fective wood preservatives
know n.

our oldest manufacturing indus
try, dating back to 1608 when

ony, started en American heri
tage of industry.

Lumbering
Important
To County
National Forest Products
Week was started in 1960 to
draw the nation's attention to
one of the country's oldest and
most basic industries.
In Klamath County alone
more than 3,000 persons derive
their livelihood from this indus
try. The county's logging, lum
b e r i n g and re-manufacturing
business provides an annual
payroll in excess of $15 million
with a product valuation of
some $30,000,000.
Because of the community's
interest and dependence on the
wood products industry, the Wi
nema Hoo-Hoo Club, composed
of individuals from the U.S.
Forest Service, logging, lumber
ing, moulding and millwork,
plywood and retail lumber deal
ers, has undertaken the re
sponsibility of focusing the com
munity's attention on the wood
industry. The International Con
catenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is
dedicated to the promotion of
the forest industries.
