Simpson To Build Lumber Storage: Shed Amother important step in the development of its Sheiton lumber remamffaeturlng f a c i 1 i t i e s a large dry lumber storage shed-- wan announced today by Simpson Timber Company. "Preliminary work is underway this week and actual construction will begin about Sept. 1," said t-I. A. Ahlskog, manager, fir and hemlock sawmills division. The ork is expected to take 80 days. To be located adjacent to the four dry kilns, the shed will be 115 by 400 feet, with 45-foot high Ade walls and an overall .height of 61 feet. The shed will have a capacity of five million board feet of dry lumber and will contain a 10-ton overhead crane. : "With our increased dry kiln capacity(' said Ahlskog, "we must l:ave the shed to keep the lumber dry. Vee anticipate fnture addi- tions to this dLv storage shed." Timber Structhrea, Inc., Port- ]and, will be the contractor. The all-wood building will feature ghmd-laminated columns and trus- ses, with plywood sheathing cov- ering the roof and:,Sidesp. " Co mpbte Detaih .... Plan Arrangements this man, the Business Agent said, because only a few years back he would, have found himself on wel- fare with the education of his children very uncertain. This new pension program is not only good for tim family, it is good for the comnmnity, the taxpayer and it shown what a great service a good union can be for its members. Savage points out that it is esti- mated that this pension program will mean well more than a million dollars worth of pensions in the first year in Simpson's operations and that in a few years the amount will reach a million dollarn worth of pensio,s a year. One of the most important books in Shelton, said Savage, is the Working Agreement between Local 38 IWA and the Simpson Timber Company. In addition to many chapters on working onditions, it has in it such chaptern as vaca- tions with pay, holidays off with pay, weekly payments when sick, hospitalization and medical care, and insurance which pays a family $7,000 on top of Industrial insur- ance if a worker gets killed in an accident. But now comes another ve T important chapter to be added to the working agreement; this chapter on pensions which means his family decent and happy retirement for month in- older people and more jobs for to help younger people.
