The above is the first author-
itative information on the pro-
posed Eastex expansion that
has reached the BEE, and was
contained in a letter to Time
Inc. stockholders dated July
23, 1973 which was signed by
Andrew Hciskell, chairman and
chief executive officer, and
James R. Shepley, president
and chief operating officer.
The letter urged stockholders
to vote for a proposed agree-
ment and plan of reorganiza-
tion providing for the merger
of Time into Temple Industries,
and for the increase of capital
stock of Time described in a
previously mailed proxy state-
ment (dated July 12, 1973)
from 10 million to I2‘£ million
shares of common stock. Stock-
holders of Time will vote on
the proposed merger at a meet-
ing to be held in New York on
Aug. 16.
In a resume of Eastex opera-
tions, the July 12 notice mailed
to stockholders said that since
1955, when operations began,
the Evadale mill has operated
at or above rated capacity, and
that It produced 435,406 tons
of pulp, paper and paperboard
in 1972 with a sales value of
$78,851,000.
The last major expansion of
the Evadale mill In 1968 in-
creased capacity by about 100,-
i000 tons annually and cost ap-
proximately $40 million.
It must be noted here that
the expansion program is only
“proposed” and has not re-
ceived final approval of the
Board of Directors of Time.

Little said he had filed char-
ges of assault with intent to
murder against Esra Lee Cam-
ticleboard technology. The ful-
ly modern plant will operate
pollution free in compliance
with all state and federal re-
gulations, officials said.
The new facility will an
nually produce 80 million
square feet of particleboard for
residential and industrial use
and will be one of the largest
particleboard operations in the
Nation. Completion of the
plant and start-up is projected
for late 1974.
In excess of 100 persons wil'
be required to staff the parti-
cleboard plant and the new
plant will support an annual
payroll of approximately $1,-
000,000. These additional pay-
roll dollars will bring Kirby’s
annual payroll in the east Har-
din County-Silsbee area to
more than $9,000,000.
When in production, the par-
ticleboard plant will be the
third Kirby manufacturing op-
eration in Silsbee.
Construction is also under-
way on a plywood complex in
South Newton County.
When the particleboard plant
goes into production next year
(1974), it will be the third
manufacturing operation Kirby
has expanded into since 1971.
From 1955, when Kirby con-
solidated all its sawmill oper-
ations into one giant operation
at Silsbee, until 1971, the cor-
poration had limited its proces
sing to the one location.
Eighty million board feet of
lumber are produced annually
Pine plywood was produced for
sale and went to market. Kirby
was the industry leader in de-
veloping this product and with-
in five years annual production
from the Silsbee operation had
passed the 60 million-square-
foot-mark.
By 1971 the plywood capa-
city at Silsbee had been ex-
panded and reached the annual
mark of 120 million square
feet, doubling in less than 10
years.
That same year, in April,
Kirby acquired another manu-
facturing operation, the Walk-
er Veneer Company of Cleve-
land, Texas. The Cleveland-
based operation was Kirby’s
first step outside of Silsbee
since 1955. At Walker Veneer,
30 employees are engaged in
the manufacture of furniture
components of shaped plywood
and particleboard; reels for
wrapping wire and cable, and
custom-sized plywood and par-
ticleboard.
In December of 1972, Orth
announced the beginning of a
new era for Kirby. At that time
he revealed plans for a multi-
million dollar expansion pro-
gram that included the con-
struction of an additional ply-
wood plant near Fawil in New-
ton County. The new plant will
employ approximately 300 per-
sons and support an annual
payroll of $2.5 million, he said.
Located on a 40-aere site be-
tween Bon Wier and Bleak-
wood, the family marks Kirby’s
first major construction outside
of Silsbee. Construction of the
plywood plant began early this
year although -the unusually
bad weather has hampered con-
struction. It is still hoped that

Symptoms of both Eastern

Dr. Ferrell. The animal will;

A “poor boy who made good”
through his own diligence and
hard work, Kirby was referred
to in 1903, by the then-Gover-
nor of Texas Sayers, as “The
Father of Industrial Texas.” a
title that stuck with him
throughout his life.
With the formation of the
two companies under a single
ownership, he brought together
a million acres of timber and
14 East Texas sawmill opera-
tions.
Present-day management of
Kirby, which has been a par-
tially owned subsidiary of the
Santa Fe Railroad* since the
mid 1930's, continues in the
tradition of John Henry Kirby
pioneering the development
of new products, instituting in-
novation and expansion where
possible and all the while pra-
cticing conservation and pur-
suing an aggressive reforesta-
‘ion program as envisioned by
the founder.
*In 1971, Santa Fe Industries,
Inc., a holding-company form-
ed by the Santa Fe Railway,
completed its plan of corporate
restructuring by organizing and
grouping its subsidiary com-
panies along the lines of their
predominant economic activi-
ties, i.e., Natural Resources,
Transportation, and Real Es-
tate. Kirby Lumber became a
member of the Resources
group, which includes all for-
est products, oil and mineral
subsidiaries.
City Manager R. M. Hickerson
and Police Chief Bob Ogden
presented the request, and it
was approved.
“This study will be something
similar to a master plan for a
city,” Mayor Hays told the BEF
this week. “If we want to con-
tinue to receive Federal grant:
for the Police Department wc
must have this study. The
Council has had quite a dis-
cussion of it and I believe they
would agree to put the $1500
required of the City in the next
budget,” he concluded.
City Manager Ronald Hicker-
son said that if the study re-
ceives the Council’s okay in the
next budget a team of profes-
sionals would make a thorough
evaluation of the Police De-
partment, including rank
grades of pay, number of per-
sonnel, number of supervisors,
system of operation and me-
thods of patroling.
He said the survey would
among other things, let us know
how we compare with depart-
ments in similar cities our size

ments into the future.
