A "Nachal" Nare

A colored preacher at a revival in the "Deep South," was telling his wide-eyed congregation about how the Lord, in the beginning of the world, named all the animals as they marched past Him. Of all the wonders of the creation, nothing wps quite as wonderful, said the preacher, as the way the Lord named all the strange animals that came by. How did He know all them names? And how could He remember which names to call which animals? It was all too wonderful. He spent much time on the giraffe and the hippopotamus. FIow "de Lawd" knew the names

The Rv-Lock Tension Screen

In their advertisement on another page of this issue the Ry-Lock Company, Ltd., 2485 Washington Avenue, San Leandro, announces the Ry-Lock Tension Window Screen, which they claim is a superior product because it is long lasting, non-staining, has good appearance, and uses aluminum screen cloth, which they believe is the finest screen material ever ofiered.

This company, in designing the new screen kept in mind the ideas of simplification, ease of handling, maximum service life, and top value, and to this end the RyLock product makes extensive use of aluminum, which has excellent corrosion-resistant properties in the alloys developed for outdoor exposure. This screen requires no painting, is light in weight, approximately two pounds, and is functionally strong. Its patented hardware assures positive and continuous tightness of the s'creen cloth.

An important feature is the ingehious adjustment bar that is part of the bottom or sill bar assembly, by means of which the screen can be adapted to the variances inherent in a windov. frame. Aluminum screen cloth does not cause unsightly stains under the window, and retains its tensile strength, thus eliminating sag.

Offered in all sizes, California and Modular, dealers and builders have been enthusiastic over its simplicity, low cost, and ease of installation. Home owners are impressed with the fact that the screens can be installed from inside the house, and that windows can be washed without removing them.

Ry-Lock screens are available only through authorized dealers.

1947 Plywood Production Will Approximate Highest Prewar Year

In a statement discussing conditions in the plywood industry, Lawrence Ottinger, president of the United States Plywood Corporation, states: "The plywood industry enters the new year with demand for all types far exceeding production.

"This condition is likely to prevail for a period of yeats excepting for a possible period of relatively short duration during which public resistance to the high price of building construction may temper the demand.

"Industrial requirements, however, are large while inventories in the warehouses of jobbers and dealers are almost at the vanishing point.

"Prices have advanced since the removal of OPA restrictions, moderately in most cases, though unfortunately some are taking advantage of existing 'conditions.

"Production of softwood plywood in 1947 will approximate 1,800 million feet on a /s-inch basis, which approximates the highest prewar year. Accurate production figures for hardwood plywood are not available, but they will probably be substantially higher than in any year before the war.

"'The improvement in plywood products and new uses developed during the war have generally broadened the market for plywood and allied laminates manufactured with synthetic resins."

Order L-359 Amended

Washington, D. C., December 30-Controls over housing construction lumber, millwork, and hardwood flooring are being modified by amendment of Order L-359, effective January 1,1947, the Civilian Production Administration announced today.

Although these materials are in for freer supply now than they were when controls first were imposed, requirements still exceed supply, and the order is being retained to assure that rated orders bearing housing and other priorities will be honored, officials of CPA said.

Amendments announced today are expected not only to supply the housing program but also to accelerate return to more noimal lumber production and distribution.

Principal changes are:

(1) Removal of reserves or setasides, except of shop lumber and hardwood flooring;

(2) Elimination of provisions requiring produ,ction of hardwood flooring lumber, although a sawmill is still required to produce 50 per cent of its total softwood lumber production in housing construction lu:nber;

(3) Sawmills and distributors are no longer required to hold housing construction lumber or hardwood flooring lumber for a set period of time and lumber may be delivered on unrated orders where such deliveries do not interfere with deliveries on rated orders; however, hardwood flooring lumber and certain kinds of shop lumber are still to be sold to specified persons; and

'Tis a bonnie California

We are livin' in the noo, With grass beneath our feet sae green And skies above sae blue; And the birdies singin' gaily

Of its beauty an' its fame, Where the golden sunlight lingers

Round a little spot called, Hame.

You should see the work I'rtr doin'Not for honor and renown,

But to freshen up the beauty

Of my little mountain town; I am plantin' vines an' flowers

Here beside a shady walk, An' I'm placin' handy benches

Where old friends can sit an' talk.

I've destroyed a pile of rubbish

That hae marred a bonnie scene, An' I'm makin'beauty blossom

Where unsightly things hae been;

An' the heart o' me is singin'

As the trees and flowers I tend, For Dame Nature's toilin' with me

Yea, an' callin' me her friend.

Damon Bunyon's Favorite Rhymes

When Damon Runyon died the other day, he left behind a heritage. He was a great reporter, humorist, writer of every day things, but likewise he was no mean poet. Two of his little poems, written when he uras a sports writer in New York, have been quoted more than any others of their kind ever written, and some of the lines have become national by-words. Here they are:

About Ecrl Scrndy

Maybe there'll be another, Ready and game and true, Maybe they'll find his brother, At drivin' them babies through.

Maybe-but say, I doubt it, Never his like again, Never a handy-guy like SandyBootin' them babies in.

Say, don't tell me I'm daffy, Ain't that the same old grin?

The Dog's Prcyer

"Oh Lord of hurnans, make my master faithful to his llow men as I am to him. Grant that he may be faithful I his fellows and friends, as f am to him. May he be open f{ed and undeceptive as I am; May he be true to trust sed in him as I am to him. Give him a cheerful face. likehto my wagging tail. Give him a spirit of gratitude like unto my licking tongue. Fill him with patience like unto mine that awaits his footsteps uncomplainingly for hours, Fill him with my watchfulness, rI courage, and my readiness to sacrifice comfort and life. Keep him always young in heart and crowded with the spirit of play, even as I am. Make him as good a man as I am a dog. Make him worthy of me-his dog."

The woman driver posed for a snapshot in front of a famous ancient temple in Greece, that stood in ruins. "Don't get the car in the picture," she said, "or my husband will think I ran into the place."

There are no bargains

On the counter sales of life. We think so, But some unexpected day, We find our purchase is A worn and shoddy thing, So, after all, in that "long past" we pay. There are no bargains

When the weather is lovely, one Englishman says to another: "Ah, what a beautiful day. All nature is smiling. Let us get the guns and go out and kill something.'r On that same sort of day the American says: "Children, the day is beautiful. Let us get into the car and go out into the country and pull up all the wild flowers we can find."

One of the local shoe stores had a colored porter fixing up some temporary shelving, so they sent him to the lumber yard, where he asked for 75 feet of one by six strips, and sixty feet of one by eight strips. The lumber dealer asked him:

"Do you want lineal feet, or board feet?"

The colored one scratched his head as he considered the matter. He iaid:

"Dey nevah tole me, Boss man. Spose you jes mix em up."

"Six Rivers" Name of California's Eighteenth National Forest

Six Rivers National Forest will be the name of the Federal unit recently established in the northern Coast Range of California, according to announcement by Perry A. Thompson, California regional forester, U. S. Forest Service. The new forest was formed by the consolidation of 900,000 acres previously included in three long-established national forests.

Significance of the name, which was selected in Washington by Lyle Watts, chief forester, from a number of local suggestions, lies in the fact that the watersheds of six important North Coast rivers are located in the timbered areas embraced by the forest: Smiths, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen, and Eel Rivers.

The name was origina,lly suggested by Peter B. Kyne, well-known San Francisco author of "Cappy Ricks," "Valley of the Giants," and many other popular books. Numerous names were suggested to the Forest Service, most of them honoring early explorers of the region such as Jedediah Smith, Josiah Gregg, and Lewis K. Wood, or referring to Indian tribes such as the Yuroks. llowever, it was finally decided that the logical name is "Six Rivers," because the six rivers drain all of the forest and are important features in the topography and economy of the area.

The Six Rivers National Forest, with headquarters at Eureka, is in charge of Supervisor William F. Fischer. It is the 18th national forest in California and the 159th national forest in the United States.

Forest Service Announces Hearing on San Gorgonio Proposal

San Francisco, Dec. 1l-Regional Forester P. A. Thompson of the California Region, U. S. Forest Service, announced today that in response to public demand the Forest Service proposes to modify the boundaries of the San Gorgonio Primitive Area in the San Bernardino National Forest to permit its development for winter recreation.

He added that a hearing will be held in San Bernardino at ten o'clock, February 19, 1947 at the Municipal Auditorium, Pioneer Park, Sixth and E Streets. This meeting has been called in accordance with Forest Service regulations, which also require ninety days' public notice before any changes are made in primitive area boundaries.

The Forest Service proposes to modify the boundaries of the 35,635-acre primitive area so that the snow slopes of San Gorgonio, highest peak south of the Tehachapis, may be developed for winter recreation. In its present status no improvements can be provided, no permanent structures built. and no roads constructed within the area.
