o For more than 20 years, Celotex advertising has con' sistently hammered home these facts:
-that Celotex is the only manufacturer of cane fbre building boards in this country.
-that the long, tough inter-locked cane fibres give them greater strength and insulating value.
-that only Celotex insulation board products are Pro' tected against termites and dry rot by the exclusive, patented Ferox Process.
This is the famous Celotex Standard building board-a /2" an.e frbte ptoduct. Sell it wherever a strong, rigid, light-weight board with heat resisting and sound insulating properties is required.

Washington, D. C., January 5, 1945:
Tighter control over the distribution of lumber made necessary by continued high war demands and decline in production, was announced today by the War Prodqction Board. "Lumber requirements are far in excess of available supply, and the gap between the two is the greatest we have had since the beginning of the war," J. A. Krug, WPB Chairman said. Lumber output is being seriously curtailed by manpower and equipment shortages, while lumber requirements for the war program and for the most essential civilian uses remain high."
Little or no relief can be expected in manpower and equipment shortages in the immediate future, X{r. Krug pointed out. Lack of heavy duty tires in particular is expected to have an increasingly adverse effect on production through slowing up of the movement of logs and lumber, he said. Production during the next three month5 is expected to fall far below what it was during the first three months oI1944.
"Because of the critical lumber situation, rvar needs and the most essential civilian needs for lumber can be met only by strict curtailment of all less essential uses," Mr. Krug said.
Order L-335 and 8 Directions to the Order (Directions 1 through 8) were amended today to reduce the amount of lumber that may be sold without control, that is, on uncertified orders, and to establish additional controls over particular species and grades that are in critically short sup- ply. E,ach sau'mill covered by Order L-335 is norv permittecl to ship luml;er only on certified orders, except when specifically authorized by WPB to fil1 uncertified orders. Authorization {or the request must be made by letter and will be granted to the individual sawmill only r,vhen certified orders cannot be obtained. WpB must be convinced that the mill has exl-rausted all efforts to set certified orclers for this lumber. WPB officials pointerl Jut.
Formerly sawmills were permitted to fiIl uncertified orders by general directions covering certain species and groups of species, provided such shipments did not inter_ fere with filling certified orders.
As a result of the tighter control established todav. orac-
tically no lumber will be available for uncertified orders except the small amounts that may be sold by sawmills not covered by L-335 and by distributors, WPB officials said. Less than 3/o of. all lumber produced comes from sawmills not covered by the order (those producing less than 100 thousand board feet per year).
Amendments to the 8 Directions to L-335 are designed to implement the general tightening of controls established by the amended order and to establish further controls over western pine and better grades of certain species of hardwoods. The amended directions also provide for smoother flow of lumber from mills to consumers and more equitable distribution of lumber to distributors for sale on uncertified orders.
Details of today's amendments to Directions 1 through 8 follorv: Direction 1 covering sawmill shipments of Douglas Fir, White Fir, Noble Fir, Sitka Spruce (except aircraft grade) and West Coast Hemlock formerly permitted mills producing less than 25 thousand board feet per day, to sell lumber to consumers and distributors on uncertified orders. Today's amendment withdraws this permission. Mills may sell on uncertified orders only if specifically authorized by WPB.
Similar withdrawal of permission to sell on uncertified orders is made in amendments to Direction 3 (California Redwood mills averaging less than 25 thousand board feet per day) ; Direction 4 (Southern Yellow Pine mills averaging less than 5 thousand board feet per day) and Direction 5 (Red and Yellow Cypress mills averaging less than 5 thousand board feet per day).
Direction 2 covering western pine lumber produced in the rvestern pine area, is amended to require mills cutting more than 5 thousand board feet per day to give preferential treatnrent to military orders. Formerly the military preference applied only to mills cutting 10 thousand board feet or lrrore per day. Mills cutting less than 5 tl-rousand board feet per day are now prohibited from selling on uncertified orders except on specific WPB authorization.
Direction 2-A, as amended, provides that mills cutting more than 5 thousand board feet per day, may ship \A/estern Pine lumber only on special Western Pine certification. (Continued on Page 14)
I asked her how she could be happy and gay, And how in the world she could sing, When Winter's battalions were blocking her way, She said, "I look forward to Spring." I'll treasure the secret.

There aren't any snowstorms blocking my way right at this time-not physical ones-but the world is so overflowing with wintry thoughts and things that the above little stanza seems to me to have a very warming philosophy.

A friend of mine in Louisiana hands me a new word that is a dilley. The world is "Stoopies." It means any of the scarc,e items and articles the public clamors for today, which the store clerk STOOPS down under the counter to get when a favored customer comes in. It covers cigarettes, Kleenex, and scores of other things. The word supplies a great descriptive need. Just call them "Stoopies."
A friend in Washing.":, ;. 1., ".ra" me this one: An old colored porter on a Southbound train out of Washington is asked so often whether or not the train stops at Richmond, that he incorporated his reply into a blast that he lets eut as the train leaves the Capital, like this: "This train do NOT go to Richmond. Now lissen whilst I tells youall. She goes to Danville, Lynchburg, Riedsville, Greensboro, Savannah, Burmingham, and New Awleens. But she do NOT go to Richmond. Ah've bin runnin' on dis train fo' six yeahs, an' Ah ain't nevah seed Richmond. An'youall can stay on dis train ontil Decembah de thuttyeighth, but you WON'T g.a*ao *Richmond."
In L787, Benjamin Franklin made a statement before the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia that can stand repeating today-and every day. He said: "I have lived a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proof I see of this truth; that God governs the affairs of men, and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? 'Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without His recurring aid, we shall proceed in this political building no better than* the builders of Babel."
There was a mighty hullabuloo in the Senate in Wash-
ington just before the close of the year over the appointment of several new men as assistants in the State Department. One of these appointees got in by the grace of God and one single vote, after the opposition had kicked him about considerably. His name is Archibald Macleish. By profession, he is a poet. He was named as "cultural relations" man for the State Department. Maybe you'Il get a faint idea of why they so heatedly opposed Macleish when you let some of his best writing sift through your craniurn. The following is said to be his favorite poemhis own brain child. you understand?
"The years turn; twitter; are Still now. The sound dies.
From the East with the sun's rising Daily are fewer whistled;
Many mornings listening
One less or two." * *
That will give you a rough idea about Archie. You can readily see, dear reader, that the cultural relations department of our Department of State is going to be crystal clear in all its announcements. Far be it for a fellow with just an ordinary brain to criticize these inspired prophets of the New Way in Washington. I would like to suggest, however, that if we MUST find a job for the Macleishs of the country, we put them in some place for which their talents peculiarly fit them. Now take this poet fellow, we should send him to China, where they wouldn't understand his stuff either; or put him in OPA where his confused type of writing wouldn't even be noticed; would furnish no contrast.
* :r
f have published many OPA literary gems in the shape of regulations, any one of which will demonstrate what I mean. I ran on another little, simple one the other day that deserves the limelight, also. It says: "Ilnder rationing, an industrial user of processed foods is one who uses a processed food to produce a produ.ct that is not a processed food." The more I read that over, and then the above quoted poem by Macleish, the more I am convinced that the poet is in the wrong bureau. OPA should draft him. He is probably the only living man who can write more confusing things than the boys who are now doing the job.

(Continued from Page 8) readers of today, than others: "He who fights and runs away, will live to fight another day; but he who is in battle slain, can never rise to fight again." Another was: "That army is the bravest that can be whipped the greatest number of times, and fight again." And this one: "The greatest test of courage on earth is to fear defeat without losing heart." And this powerful line described a warrior of old: "fle steered his exact course to the.point of danger." And it was Lord Nelson who said: "When I don't know whether to fight or not, I always Tnl" *
Which takes me back to one of my favorite war stories. It is an infantry charge, with fixed bayonets. A powerful brute of a tnan looks sidewise with something of contempt at the white face of the soldier at his side, and says to him of the pale face: "I believe you're scared." And the pale man said: "Scared? If you were half as scared as f am, you'd have run half an hour ago !"
Carlyle once .r rrote: "This London City, with all its houses, palaces, steam engines, cathedrals, and huge immeasurable traffic and tumult, what is it but a Thoughtbut millions of Thoughts made into One? Not a brick was made but some man had to THINK the making of that brick." f pondered that interesting philosophy the other night as I sat in a movie theater and watched a remarkable film issued officially by the British Government, showing the horrors wrought upon that brave City of London by the robot bombs. Following that same line of thinking, those bombs, that awful destruction of life and property, were likewise the result of thought. But this thought was EVIL, as opposed to the millions of good thoughts that created the City of London. The human mouthpiece of the evil thoughts that created the robot bombs and sent them on their blind and murderous way, announced to the world that these EVIL things would utterly destroy the City of London; that city that was built, according to Carlyle, from good Thoughts. London suffered; London reeled under the eighty-day nightmare of bombs; but London LIVES. It looks as though GOOD Thoughts triumphed over EVIL Thoughts. And thus. let us believe, it must always be. rl. t ,t
The "lame duck" Congress recently voted overwhelm_
ingly to continue the freeze of the Social Security rate on the same one cent basis it has been on from the beginning. This, in spite of caustic words from the President and his leaders in the House and Senate about the needs of the Social Security "fund." When the history of these strange times is written, it will say that this Social Security "fund" business was the strangest piece of financial bookkeeping on record. The men who made the remarks knew, just as everyone knows and nobody denies, that there is no such thing as a Social Security "fund." There never has been since the thing started. There never will be, unless the law and its mechanization is completely changed. There isn't a thin dime in the Social Security bank, and wouldn't be if they doubled or tripled the rate. All there is in that "fund" is a lot of IOU's from the United States Treasury, showing that the Government took the money out as fast as it was collected, and put interest-drawing securities in place of the cash. That's the way the law reads.
The books show that lnJ ,1"*, Security bureau has about six billion dollars on hand. The cash book shows it has no cash. If that six billion dollars were suddenly needed, where would the beneficiaries get their money? From the United States Treasury, which would be called upon to reclaim its notes. And where would the Treasury get the money to make such redemption? From the taxpayers, of course, the only source of income the Government has. Yes, dear friend, the same guys who were taxed to make up the Social Security pot, will have to be taxed again whenever the money is needed. And in the meantime, the IOU's that the Government gave the Social Security pot in lieu of its cash, pays interest on those notes WITH MORE MONEY DERIVED FROM MORE TAXES. But the payment of the interest is likewise just an entry on the books.

Charter. Following some debate in the British Parliament the statement was published-for the first time, I believethat there really is no actual document; that there are no actual signatures. The so-called Charter was pieced together on the Atlantic that time when Churchill and Roosevelt met on shipboard, and was handed to the press. But there was nothing formal about it, and no actual document was prepared and signed. And when Churchill announced that he did not accept his present job in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire, he sunk the Charter in the Atlantic. And later when he agreed to the dismemberment of Poland, and other small matters about Greece and Italy, he tied a heavier weight on the Charter. For the entire basis of the Atlantic Charter was that all peoples should be free to choose their own government, and their own leaders. A splendid ideal! But how many students of history entertained the slightest thought that such a thing could ever be?
I made a prediction .*: ,:"r: ago that r sure regret to see come true; even though it looked so like a cinch at the time. Discussing the enslaved nations that had fallen under the Nazi yoke, I said: "We'll have to free them, feed them, and fight them." Greece is only a sample.
The other day I sat with all my senses on fire, listening to a speech by a badly wounded officer just back from the hell of Europe. ffe was telling the story of the fighting over there. ffe was drawing the best, the most thrilling picture I have heard of the things being done by our glori-
ous American boys. Inspired by his wonderful subject, this soldier, Col. Clarence Cochran, was one of the most eloquent men I ever heard talk. He followed the advice of the great orator Pericles; he used no unnecessary word, and he misused no word. But he fairly set his audience on fire with his priceless eulogy of our fighting men. "The best trained, best equipped, best fed, and best led army in the world," as he put it. Before he was half through I was thoroughly convinced that thousands of incidents of heroism have taken place already in this war that make the memories of the great battles of the past sink into insignificance in contrast. Thermopylae? Shucks! We've had them by the score in this war. And Valley Forge, and Gettysburg, and the Alamo, and Waterloo, and Bull Run, and all the others; over and over again. What a war ! What an army! What an orator!
Under date of July 31, 1944, a Recommended Revision of Douglas Fir Plywood,. Commercial Standard CS45-42, was circulated for written acceptan'ce in accordance with the action of the Standing Committee. The Recommended Revision was later modified by TS-3830 as approved by the Standing Committee, and those concerned were notified.
Since that time, signed acceptances were.received from a number of manufacturers, distributors, and users estimated to represent a satisfactory majority.
The Commercial Standard, which is identified as CS45-45, may be considered efiective for new production from Januarv 27.1945.

When Lord Algy joined the army a few years back, he was so pronounced a snob that most of his acquaintances despised him heartily, and even his best friends deplored the manner in which he went on his way through life, spurning most of those he came in contact with as he would the dust under his well-shod feet.
And so one of his friends who was really fond of Algy and knew that he must change his attitude in the army or get himself into a peck of trouble, took the matter in hand and, getting Lord Algy in a corner, read him a firm but friendly lecture on the utter necessity for shedding his snobbishness before the army took the job of doing it for

Formerly, Direction 2-A applied to mills cutting more than 1O thousand board feet per day. The amended Direction alsb explains how Class I consumers account for receipts of western pine in the fourth quarter of 1944 and in the first quarter of 1945.
Provisions of Directions 1, 3, 4 and 5 requiring mills larger than the stated sizes to give preferential treatment to military orders remain unchanged.
Direction 5, as amended, prohibits mills and distributors from delivering, and consumers from receiving, without specific WPB authorization, any No. I common and better grades of 8 species of hardwoods produced by mills cutting 5 thousand or more board feet per day of 'hardwood lumber. Species affected by Direction 6 are White Oak, Red Oak, Birch, Beech, Pecan* Rock Elm, Hard Maple and tough White Ash. The restrictions also apply to special grades which are the equivalent of No. 1 common or better and to mixed grades which include No. 1 common and better. Military requirements for these grades of these species have increased, and production of these better grades of hardwoods has fallen off, WPB officials said. Military'requirements exceed anticipated supply for the first quarter of 1945, they said.
Special certificates, in addition to the regular certificates required under L-335 must be used by consumers in placing purchase orders for the afiected hardwoods. The form of this certification and the form used by distributors in extending purchase orders, are given in the direction.
Direction 7 now permits only low grade lumber and the culls and rejects to be sold on uncertified orders. Formerly all lumber not covered by Directions 1 through 6 was also permitted to move on uncertified orders. Low grade lumber that may be sold on uncertified orders comprises No. 4 or lower grades of Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine; Western lf emlock and Sitka Spruce; E grades of Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock; Redwood dunnage, and No. 3 or lower grades of Cypress.
Direction B as amended provides a new method for calculating the amounts of lumber a distributor may sell on uncertified orders. A distributor may place with his suppliers certified but unrated orders aggregating 20,000 board feet per year or for an amount up to l0/o of his retail yard
sales of lumber in 1944. He may sell the lumber so received on uncertified orders. However, he may not deliver more than one-tenth of this annual quota in any month.
Formerly, distributors were permitted to buy from 5,000 to 8,000 board feet per quarter on certified but unrated orders for sale on uncertified orders. The new method of calculating the amount of lumber a distributor may sell on uncertified orders does not change the total amount available for such sales, WPB said. It provides a more equitable distribution among distributors.
Three directions (8,A' - 10 - 14) which are no longer applicable are revoked. Direction 12 (lumber for approved privately financed dwelling projects) is amended to remove certain temporary provisions.
Order L-335 in addition to major changes affecting the movement of uncertified lumber now incorporates the provisions of three directions which are revoked: Direction 13 (distributors' receipts of Red Cross lumber) ; Direction 15 (flitches) and Direction 16 (farmers' receipts of lumber produced from his own trees).
Applications by a sawmill for WPB authority to deliver lumber on uncertified orders is made by letter to the WPB field offices for the sawmill's district. However, sawmills located in the 12 states west of, and including lVlontana, South Dakota, Colorado and New Mexico, are required to mail their requests for authorization to the Western Administrator of L-335 in Portland, Oregon.
Class I consumers are now permitted to place advance orders for delivery in future quarters for amounts not to exceed 75/o of the current quarter's authorization, instead of. 50/o as formerly permitted. Class I consumers may accept delivery 15 days in advance of the quarter for which delivery was requested.
Effective dates: L-335, as amended, Directions 1 through 7, as amended, and revocation of Directions 13, 15 and 16 (provisions of which are incorporated in L-335)-January 7; Directions 8 and 12, as amended, and revocation of Directions 8-A, 10 and l,f-January 5, 1945.

lbil doing some sort of postwar planning.
. Joe is thinking about what he wants to do when he gets The alert businessman is studying how he can improve his to his customers. Other businessmen are planning to start ning some day. Governments'are planning to reach and hold a ble world position.
We all know, no matter how good the plans, they cannot become etely effe,ctiue until the war is ouer. Every war-time effort and n is a waste of time if it does not recognizetlrre cold fact that for the remainder of the war only critical needs of civilians can be satisfied.
But facing this fact does not stop G. I. Joe from thinking, and the forward-looking businessman nor an ably directed government from planning. Take lumber, for example. The war needs for lumber are still pressing. Consequently, civilian supplies are now at an all time low. Yet, with reconversion such a simple matter, the moment war orders are filled, the production of lumber, which these orders commanded, will flow quickly and in great quantity to civilian markets. So lumbermen are planning for brisk postwar trade.
Weyerhaeuser plans are rapidly taking shape-new services to aid our customers-a farm building service soon to be announced, the finest ever developed and most complete-a new home building service-new aids for wood engineers-and some new products which will follow along as the close of the war approaches.
Because lumber for civilian use is scarce now this does not mean that the lumber industry is through. The public shouJd be told that in the postwar period,lumber will still be the world's ffiost important and widely used building material.
When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf, And the world makes you king for a day; Then go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that guy has to say. For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife Who judgment u.pon you must Pass, The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life, Is the guy staring back from the glass'
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, For he's with you clear up to the end; You've passed your most dangerous, difficult test, If the guy in the glass is your friend. You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum, And think you're a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says you're onlli a bum, If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as You Pass; But your final reward will be heartache and tears, If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

When a woman wants to get married, she wants to get married. There is the delightful story of the elopement of two Irish lovers, They wer'e caught in the floods on the way to the priest. "fs it the will of God that I take you home to your father?" asked the less purposeful lover. "It is not the will of God, John," answered the girl, "until the water gets higher than my heart."-Thomas Dreier.
According to Reader's Digest, International CorrespondSchool has a highly treasured testimonial letter that came to them from the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta, which reads: "I intend to resume my studies as soon as my personal liberty is restored. During my trial my still was brought into court as ,evidence. The judge, the jury, and the spectators were unanimous in the opinion that it was the finest piece of coppersmithing ever seen in Tennessee. I owe it all to the I.C.S. sheet-metal course."
Your home is in the consciousness of God; Wind-swept and clean from every lurking fear. And ther,e God's child may sojourn unperturbed, Knowing the Father's presence ever near.
A place is there for happy-hearted toil, To see the Truth that operates unspent; A place by Christ prepared, where you may work, With just reward and very great content.
And in this house of God is resting place, A covert and a refuge from the blast, Where you may hear the deeper harmonies, And understanding show to you at last.
A blessed, quiet place for listening, A holy prophet's chamber on the wall, Where breaks upon the soul-illumined thought, The Truth that God is All.
Go forward, friend, with confidence and joy; Oh, let no earthly mist obscure the view. The key is yours ! The door is open now ! The house your Father buildeth, is for you.
"Go to Father," she said, when I asked her to wed; Now she knew that I knew that her father was dead, And she knew that I knew what a life father'd led, So she knew that I knew what she meant when she said"Go to father."
A purchasing agent recently wrote to some of his regular sources of supply, requesting new catalogues and price lists because his latest were out of date. Flere are excerpts from some of the replies he got back:
"The only part of our catalogue we are still certain about is the line that says, 'Established in 1885.' All other information and prices have been withdrawn."
"After reading your inquiry we are afraid you are thinking of sending us an order. It looks suspicious to us. Nevertheless, we will gladly meet you half way by showing you how to calculate costs, if you will promise to send the order to someone else."
"Forget the prices. Also, forget the descriptions. By the time you get this letter we do not know ourselves how or what we will be making the str.lff out of."
"Thank you for your note indicating you, still have one of our complete catalogues. Please return it at once. You ought to see the prices we are getting for our waste paper."

The other day I heard a preacher, delivering a prepared address, remark that the American nation is "a peculiar people." And the more I thought that over, the more convinced I became that here, indeed, was a perfect description.
A peculiar people, indeed! If, gentle reader, you find yourself inclined for even the fraction of a moment to doubt the perfection of this description, review, I pray thee, the recent record. For when you do, all doubts will promptly resolve themselves into certainties.
We have taken twelve millions of our young men, most of them in the prime and flower of their gallant youth, torn them from their homes and their loved ones, placed guns in their hands, uniforms on their backs, and sent them forth under the flaunting flags to fight, and die if need be, in a war in which we were not primarily directly engaged or chiefly concerned-and for what? That humans the world over-untold millions of people whom we do not know and who mean nothing to us personally-may enjoy the priceless blessings of freedom. That is our only motiveour sole ambition-our only hope. There is not a selfish thought, not an idea of gain in all this deliberate mass sacrifice of our gallant youth.
Is there any other nation on the face of the earth that would have done-that would do-anything of the sort? Is there any other nation that would even have contem=
By Jack Dionneplated undertaking the smallest part of the least percentage of so immeasurable a sacrifice?
What else have we done?
We, the richest nation in all history, have dug down to financial bedrock; we have gathered together the accumulated possessions of one hundred years of successful striving and saving; we have created a fund of financial and economic wealth the like of which no nation in all history ever dreamed; and we have deliberately invested every dollar of it in the sinews of war; this mighty war which has swallowd wealth as the falls of Niagara swallows the mighty river that feeds it. As though these hundreds of billions were but dry leaves and we the owners of unbounded forests-thus have we dug down to the bottom of financial things to underwrite this terrifying war.
And for what?
For the sole purpose of being helpful. For the sake of myriads of God's children who were being swallowed up and destroyed in the giant maw of greed and despotism and cruelty and hate. We have stripped ourselves of our great wealth without even a dream of ever getting a dime of it back. We have made an unlimited investment in Godliness-in Goodliness-without so much as a feeting hope of financial return.
Is there anywhere in this world another nation that
would even have dreamed of making a sacrifice so colossal and so unselfish?
Yes, we ARE "a peculiar people." We have entered into a conflict we might have avoided; assumed responsibilities we might have shunned; accepted for ourselves sacrifices that defy description or totalization; all in the simple belief that we ARE our brothers' keeper, and that such guardianship knows no limitation either in blood or treasure.
Is there any other nation on this earth that would have given no sublime a sacrifice so much as a serious thought?
Don't quibble, brother! You know there isn't! We alone would have considered it ! We alone have done it ! For we are truly "a peculiar people !"
