During the first World War belly-Iaugh stories swept the country continually. f've been wondering when the first one would show up this time, and the other day it came, and is now sweeping the nation. The tale is that MacArthur's men in the Philippines heard about the Jap ship shelling the coast of California, and they sent a message over here stating that if the West Coast can hold out

for thirty days, MacArthur will send reinforcements.

**.*

Surely MacArthur might be the hero of the poem that read:

"Somebody said that it couldn't be done, And he with a chuckle replied, That maybe it couldn't, but he would be one, Who wouldn't say so 'til he tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin,

On his face. If he worried he hid it, He started to sing as he tackled the thing, That couldn't be done-and he did it."

*** Wonder how many Americans would volunteer for a special army to relieve MacArthur? Ten million worrld be a conservative guess, and they would range from fifteen to seventy years of age. The fact that it looks impractical would discourage them not in the least. What was it Napoleon said? "Opportunity? Pouf ! I MAKE opportunity."

*** American school boys have long made a special hero of Iforatius, that noble Roman who held the bridge across the Tiber in the face of a vast army, in Macaulay's immortal poem. From now on even Horatius must take.a back seat, and let Douglas MacArthur step to the head

of the hero class.

***

Speaking of the difference between defensive and offensive warfare, Muggsy McGraw, famous manager of the New York Giants baseball team for many years, onqe made a statement that directly applies. He was asked what was the chief difference between a big leaguer and a bush leaguer in baseball, and Muggsy replied: ..The big leaguer STEPS FORWARD to meet the ball. The bush leaguer waits for the ball to come to him." There's a great

March 15, 1942

thought there. The offensive fighter is the big leaguer. **tt

Lots of interesting stuff printed recently about George Washington, following the celebration of his birthday. I got quite a kick out of one thing the old boy said. A writer sought to question him about his family tree, and Washington replied that his ancestry was "of small moment, and a subject to which, I confess, I have paid little attention." As the horse player once put the same thought, blood made no difference if the colt couldn't run, and if it COULD it made still less.

***

While not the story teller that Lincoln was, nevertheless Washington loved a good joke, and was not averse to

both telling and writing them. When the King of Spain, knowing George to be a farmer, presented him with a finely bred jackass for a gift, Washington promptly named the animal after the giver, and wrote many humorous letters to friends, commenting on the matter. When Washington dined General Cornwallis after the capitulation of that gentleman at Yorktown, each of those present rose at the proper time and proposed a toast. When Cornwallis' turn carne, he raised his glass and toasted-"The King of England." Washington immediately raised his glass, and added-"May he stay there"-and it is recorded that the Englishman laughed as loud as any present. d.*+

How terrifically war has changed from the days when gallant foemen met in honor and in respect to end the strife. Grant refused the sword of the gallant Lee. Washington refused the sword of Cornwallis. Take Marc Antony, the great Triumvir of Rome, who had bonquered Egypt but was then overthrown in turn by the Roman Octavius Caesar; when he lay dying he gloried aloud in the fact that he "had conquered as a Roman, and was by a great Roman conguered." History is filled with such thrilling and impressive events. But in this war today such sentiment is woefully lacking. Can you imagine an honorable and respectful peace meeting with Adolf? Or the slant-eyed men of Nippon?

***

Six hundred years before Christ was born, the Chinese teacher Confucius taught his people about war, in the fol-

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

March 15, 1942

lowing words: "To fight decides who is the stronger, bur does not decide who is right. That is to be decided by the heaven in your heart." How would you like to start hunting for a little heaven in the hearts of the boys who planned the Pearl Harbor attack? i(**

A great German thinker of other days, a fellow by the name of Humboldt, once said: "We are all children in the

kindergarten of God." Little did he dream that a German house painter was to make such an awful mess of the kindergarten.

***

Kipling's magic words built a land of wondrous romance in Britain's possessions in the East. And how it does jar the soul of the Kipling lover to think of what has happened of late in those lands that Rudyard loved and made immortal. Think of swarms of slant-eyed murderers desecrating "The Road to Mandalay." Tt must make the shade of Kipling turn over in his grave to know that all that land where Private Mulvaney (who had been a corporal once but was rejuced) lived, and fought, and philosophized, is in the hands of the heathen. Think of the Irrawaddy River in the hands of the Japs. And "that Lazarooshan leather, Gunga Din" having performed his act of valor in vain, for the heathen have that country now.

**{.

How Kipling's Eton School Song now comes to mind, which says: "The sand of the river is sodden red, It's red with the wreck of a square that broke, The gatling's jammed and the Colonel's dead, And the regiment's blind with dust and smoke.

The river of death has brimmed its ranks, And England's far, and honor's a nameBut the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks'Play up ! Play up ! And play the game !'" **:8

And "Play up! Play up! And play the game!" is what Britain and the United States are both saying to the gallant armies who carry their flags in this new and greater war, today

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

The Direct Approach

BY JACK DIONNE In ti'nes like these, and in ihe sort of times we ccn plcinly see checd of us, it looks like the direct crpprocrch" without cny frilts or lurbelowsr or cnt devious side-trcrcking clong merchcrndising lines, is ihe wcry to sell building mcrterial.

AII lcmcy work is out.

And iI there is crny doubt in your mind cs to whcrt the direct crpprocrch mecns, list to this story thcrt is being told this secson in the mountains of Tennessee. A tourist who hcd penetrcted mrrcy bcck yonder off the becrten pcths, found c mcn who didn't even know there wcrs c wcr going on" hcd never heard oI Hitler, wcs entirely ignorcrnt ol the ecrth-shclcings now in process on this globe. The visitor told him crs best he could ol these events, cnd ol the little house pcinter in Germcrny who wcs the ccuse ol it cll The simple mind oI the mountcrineer took the direct cpprocch to the subiect. "Why don't someone kill this feller Hitler?" he wcnted to know.

The visitor told him that had been thought of by plenty of people, but thct it wcs cr mighty difficult thing to crccoinplish. The mountaineer couldn't understcnd thcrt. "I1l tell you horrr I'd do it," he scrid. "I'd lind out where he lived crt.

Then I'd locd my rille, cnd in the night I'd go hide in rhe bushes close to his house. And in the morning when Hitler ccmre out to leed his hogs, I'd shoot the hell out ol him."

Thct, be it known" is the direct crpprocrch. The difference is that in the cqse of the building mcrtericrl mcnr" it is much ecsier to put qcross thcrn in the sup posed ccrse of this mountcrin mcrn cnd Hitler. lust sell the building things that cre sclcble todcry, to everyone in your scrles territory thct needs, wcmts, cmd can pay for them. Turn to your page oI *CAN DO's" every morning, look cbout you Ior prospects for your building mctericls cnd senrices under this side ol the chcst, crnd go ccrlling. check off the things you ccn't sell now, Ior one reqson or cnother, curd let those go. Sell the stuff you can. There's plenty oI thcrt.

And there cre plenty of line prospects. And most of them cre better able to buy crnd pcry thcrn they hcrve been in c long time. A lot of the things for which people in genercl cre crccustomed to spending their money, ccn't be hcd. That list will continue to gnow cs the criticcd mctericls discrppecr.

There will come chcrnges in YOItn Hsts of -CAN DO's" cmd "CAN'T DO's". lust chcrnge the lists io fit the situction, cnd hustle c little hcrder. Prospect Iists were never so vclucrble qs nour. Spring, the grectest ol crll building, cnd repciring, qnd remodeling secrsons, is upon us. Lumber of crll sorts, pcint, roofings ol most kinds, cement, brick, wcrll bocrd, wcll pcrper, floorings, built-ins, millworlc etc., crre still on lhe "cAN Do" li.st. A good scleEmcn ccn make c lot ol money this spring without even trying to sell ct new building. Paint crlone would keep him busy the next tfuee months; curd scrtisfactorily so. All in the world cr lumber decrler needs this yecr is leg work, hecd work, cr pocket lull ol courcge, c fine lund of optimism, cr cheerlul grin, c fum grip on his business situction" cnd plenty ol sticktoitiveness. A good set of tires will help cr lot, too, And don't lorget the mountcin mcrn's method. Thci's the direct crpprocch.

Rhyming Your Rural Sales Every single farmer in the country 'round about you, Ought to have a modern mansion for his hen.

Get after him with energy, nor worry should he flout you, And exclaim your lumber costs too many yen.

Come back at him and tell him that you think you ought to sell him,

For a farmer shouldn't call your lumber high, You have a thousand chances for the market that enhances

Wood a little, shoots the pork up in the sky.

What if you make a penny, at the most you don't make many, For the profits that you, make must go for meat, The man who grows the hogs and steers should laugh instead of shedding tears, When you tip off your price per thousand feet.

The price he gets for corn and oats, for cotton and for budding shoats, For almost every crop that he can raise, Will buy more shingles, lath, and planks, for building barns, or lining tanks, Than ever he received in former days.

And if he starts to make a kick, just show to him a corrunon brick, And put it next a single ear of corn. And he'll agree his corn will getMore brick today than ever yet he got in fair exchange since he was born.

An lll Wind That Blows No One Good Bill Finnegan, a Catholic friend of mine who specializes in Catholic stories and tells thern well, is having lots of fun with this one: Mrs. Flanagan was one of the most devout members of the Irish Cathcilic congregation. She hadn't missed mass in years. So when she failed to show up at church for several successive Sundays, the priest got worried and went to call on her. Mrs. Flanagan was at home, and received him in most friendly fashion. The priest noticed that she looked more prosperous than he had ever seen her. So he said: "Mrs. Flanagan, you haven't been to mass for more than a month, have you?"

She admitted that she had not.

"What's the trouble, Mrs. Flanagan?" he wanted to know. "You haven't quit your church, have you?"

"I have that," said Mrs. Flanagan, definitely, "uhtil the

war's over, at least.t'

"Why, Mrs. Flanagan t" exclaimed the startled priest.

"What on earth is the trouble?"

"No trouble at all, at all," replied Mrs. Flanagan. "In fact, Father, it's the other way entirely. You know about my family, and you know how poor we've always been, wid me takin' in washin' all my life to support my nogood husband, and my lazy son, and my daughter that's always been a trial to me. Well, it's different now. My no-good husband is workin' in a shipyard and makin' eighty dollars a week. My boy is workin' in an arms plant, and he gets sixty-five dollars every week. My daughter is workin' in an aryplane factory, and gets forty dollars a week. It's the first money I've ever had since I was a young gurl, and if you think I'm going to church every Sunday and listen to them prayin' for peace, you've got me wrong, Father, you've got me wrong."

Oil Floor Furnace Approved for Title V1 Homes The restrictions against the use of natural gas for heating in 17 states caused an immediate increase in the demand for oil heating equipment. "'W'e are swamped with orders for our Coleman Oil Floor Furnace," said J. G. Nicholls of The Coleman Lamp & Stove Company, 332 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles. l'This heating unit has been approved by the FHA for houses built under Title VI. Our Model 885 used in this type of home has a maximum output of 50,000 B.T.U. per hour, and has the ability to circulate every cubic foot of air up to 90@ feet in the California area.

"An exclusive feature that is responsible for its volume sale is that once installed, there's no need to go underneath- the house for service, as any necessary adjustment can be made from the floor level.

"The cost of installation of this heater is higher but operating cost is lower than for gas heating. On equipment of this kind a priority number of A 10 or better is required," Mr. Nicholls stated.

BACK ON JOB Bill Sampson, head of the Sampson Company, Pasadena, is back on the job, part time, after being confined to his home by illness for a little over a month. He hopes to be putting in full time in the near future.

WONDER WHAT A FRENCHMAN THINKS ABOUT? Two years ago a Frenchman was as free as we are. To-

dayhe humbly walks in the gutter to let his conquerors swagger past,

-as

-as he works fifty-three hours a week for thirty hours

PAY,

-as he sees all trade unions outlawed and all the rights

for which he sacrificed his country, trampled under by his foreign masters, he sees his wife go hungry and his children face a -as lifetime of serfdom, What does that Frenchman think? Probably it's something like this: "I wish I had been less greedy for myself, and more anxious for my country; I wish I had realized that you can't beat off a determined invader with a quarreling, disunited people at home; I wish I had been willing to give in on some of my rights to other Frenchmen, instead of giving up all of them to a foreigner; f wish I had known that patriotism is work, not talk; gtritrg, not getting."-Turrent Lathe.

A SCOTCH WARRIOR Home on leavg Jock McTavish wandered into the finest restaurant in Glasgow, sat down at the best table he could find, pounded on the table for a waiter, and ordered a glass of water. When the water came he pulled a sandwich froru his pocket, and proceeded calmly to eat his lunch. The indignant waiter went running for the manager, who approached the Scot, and in haughty tones, said: "Sir, I am the manager."

"Good," said Jock. "I was about to send for you. Why isn't the orchestra playing?"

ADVERTISING AND SENTIMENT The following epitaph, which was also a combined advertisement for the widow's business, was found in a Paris cemetery:

"Here lies Pierre Victor Fournier, inventor of the Everlasting Lamp, which consumes only one centime's worth of oil in one hour. FIe was a good father, son, and husband. His inconsolable widow continues his business in the Rue aux Trois. Goods delivered to all parts of the city."

PRAYER F'OR THE NEW HOUSE

By Louis lfntermeyer May nothing ever cross this door, And may ill-fortune never pry, About these windows; may the roar And rains go by.

Strengthened by faith, these rafters will Withstand the battering of the storm; This hearth, though all the world grow chill Will keep us warrn.

Peace shall walk softly thru these rooms,

Touching our lips with holy wine,

'Til every casual corner blooms fnto a shrine.

Laughter shall drown the raucous shout; And, though these sheltering walls are thin, May they be strong enough to keep hate outAnd hold love in.

HOME It may be a mansionIt may be a dumpIt may be a farmWith an old oaken pumpIt may be a palac+

It may be a fatIt may be a roomWhere you hang up your hat-

It may be a houseWith a hole in the foorOr a marble hotelWith a coon at the doorIt may be exclusiv+ Or simple, or swellA wee bit of heavenOr one little-wellJust kindly remernberWherever you roamThat Shakespeare was right, kid" There's

The progress of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork during the past year was reviewed in detail by Robert M. Bodkin, general manager. Mr. Bodkin pointed out that over 60,000 inquiries had been received in response to advertising during the last seven months of 1941. Sales of 24,0n copies of the booklet, "Open llouse," primarily to jobbers and lumbet dealers have developed since its publication in July. These and many other results of the co-operative promotion campaign exceeded all expectations. Jobbers and dealers are supporting the campaign and projecting 1942 sales plans to make possible a still more effective effort.

Ralph Hines gave an interesting president's report in which he emphasized the complete harmony which had existed among the membe,rs during the association's first year. Mr. Hines thanked the directors for their co-operation and predicted a long and successful career for the joint program. U. Morgan Davies, vice-president, emphasized

the long-range importance of this type of promotion, and congratulated the members upon their enthusiastic support. L. H. Atkin,son, secretary, called attention to the constructive and creative aspect of the promotion which is a significant part of the policy of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork. E. J. Curtis, treasurer, presented a report on finance and noted that collections were 100 per cent perfect as of the fiscal year, February 1. Mr. Curtis also commented on the ability of the association to live within its budget.

Mr. Kirk Fox, editor of Successful Farming, addressed the meeting and gave an interesting talk on trends in building activity dwing 1942.

John M. McDonald of The Buchen Company, Chicago, presented the advertising and publicity program.

The meeting closed with a cocktail party by the president and the annual dinner.

It was unanimously agreed that this new association had grown into a healthy, strong and important factor. The record of achievement during the first year has been outstanding and there is every rea.son to look forward to an expanding significance in 1942, and future years.

Industry Delense Committee Looks to Future Washington, February 25.-The office of the Lumber & Timber Products Defense Committee has sent to its members an analysis which includes the following forecasts :

Before there is an effort to encourage the installation of greater capacities for production of lumber, the.re will be drastic limitations on civilian or, at least, non-defense construction and other uses of lumber.

The defense construction peak will be reached early in 1943, and, decline substantially thereafter.

As this country gets further into war, some types of lumber and timber products themselves may beconre critical materials.

DORMITORY UNITS AUTHORIZED FOR LE MOORE, CALIFORNIA San Francisco, Feb. 25.-O. W. Campbell, associate coordinator of defense housing announced today tl-rat 75 dormitory units are authorized for construction by the Farm Security Administration in Le Moore, California.

Annual Convention April 10-11

A data sheet-"Crib Wall Granary," recently issued by

The annual convention of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association will be held at the Huntington Hotel, Pasadena, Friday and Saturday, April 10 and ll' '942.

There will be registration, a golf tournament, and business session Friday, and dinner and entertainment in the evening. Business sessions are scheduled for Saturday morning and afternoon, and the annual dinner dance will be held in the evening.

Among the speakers who will address the convention are Roy Wenzlick, president, Real Estate Analysts, St. Louis, Mo., and Verne Orr, vice-president in charge of operations for the Chrysler Corp. on the Pacific Coast, and Consulting Professor of Marketing at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University.

the California Redwood Association, gives complete information on this four-bin granary and says in part: Redwood Crib Construction is very pr4ctical for granaries. It is easy to build, requires no special tools and utilizes random lengths of lumber with a minimum of waste, cutting, and framing on the job. It is strong and

sturdy construction, capable of standing heavy loads without the necessity of elaborate bracing.

Redwood contains no turpentine and is classified as a non-resinous wood. These features account for the fact that it supports combustion reluctantly, and that a charred surface formed on it tends to adhere and to act as a protection to unburned wood beneath. These features of Redwood coupled with the crib type of installation, make it excellent fire-resistant construction. The fire resistance of this type of construction is an important consideration if grass fires or fires of other origin are apt to occur.

The imaginary deeds of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are being outdone by the fallers, bucke,rs, choker-setters, sawyers, picaroonists, timber-swingers, and other he-men of the West Coast lumber industry in the War, according to the story told in "The Mission of Lumber in National Defense," by Col. W. D. Styer, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A. This is in the form of a red, white and blue booklet just issued by the West Coast Lumbermen's

Association, Seattle, Wash. It is a factual picture of a giant stream of forest material being transformed into cantonments, munitions plants, defense housing, shipyards, and other construction in record volume and on schedule.

A post card request to the Association will bring a free copy.

Paul Ov ercnd Has Two Sons in Air Service Ed Overend, son of Paul Overend, San Francisco, of the California Redwood Association's staff, is an ace pilot u'ith the American Volunteer Group in Burma. He was in the Marine Corps and acting as pilot instructor at Pensacola, Florida when the AVG was organized. He left for Burma last September, and his first major engagement was on Christmas day, when he knocked down three Jap bombers. Up to the time he was last heard from his total \,vas seven. He is 27 and was graduated from San Diego State College.

Walter Overend, Ed's younger brother, is 72, and is a combat pilot in the R.A.F., and left for England this month. His ground training 'ivas taken in Chicago and flyir'g instructions in El Centro. Both boys were born in Portland, Oregon.

Cities visited included Chicago, New York, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston and San Antonio.

large as the first, is in the planning stage. Under the combined programs, hundreds of new schools and additions to established schools will be built, predominantly of wood construction, in all parts of the country.

Most of this boom in school building is financed with federal funds through FWA. Some schools have been built by local authorities with an outright grant of 50 to 100 per cent of the total cost from the federal government. In other cases, construction is by the Public Buildings Administration, following either its own plans or those of local authorities.

Whether title is held by the local school district or the federal government, the completed building becomes a part of the local school plan and its use administered by the local school board.

Under the first $150,000,000 appropriated for Defense Public Works last June, no set sum was earmarked for school construction, but each proposed project was considered in competition, in light of defense needs, with all other proposals and applications. School problems were considered so pressing and important that they won $32,854,99I, about 50 per cent more than any other ciassification. Combined with $7,590,399 provided by local school districts, the total $40,445,390, was used to build and equip 252 new schools and additions.

FW.A officials, discussing the second Lanham Act appropriation of $150,000,00O made in January, predicted that at least as great a proportion would be used for schools as was allocated from the first fund.

The Division of Defense Public Works of FIVA outlines its three major responsibilities as: 1. To provide school facilities necessary to make defense areas livable for defense workers ; 2. To use Defense Public Works funds only to build or help build schools essential to the war effort; 3. To confine the use of critical materials to the minimum.

Three types of construction are being considered in the new program: masonry, recommended in all areas subjuct to enemy action, and two classes of wood structure, one purely temporary and the other fire-resistant and semi-permanent.

The entire project is based on unit construction, whether wood or masonry. The basic unit is 22, x 3€ and may be either one or two stories in masonry, or one-story in wood.

This area may be one large room, such as a class room, or it may be divided by non-bearing partitions into smaller rooms of various sizes and shapes for offices, libraries, health clinics, or other auxiliary rooms necessary to schools.

One basic plan has been adopted for both types of wood structures. However, plans submitted by local school

Maduco Plastic Moulding, Mr. Macklanburg says' was awarded the Blue Ribbon and highest honors at the Ne'iv York Plastic Competition in the architectural, {urniture and interior decorations field.

For the past several years practically every home built or remodelled, has used moulding and trim in kitchens, bath rooms and recreation rooms. Mouldings used in many homes were of aluminum and stainless steel, which now are not available due to their importance for defense purposes.

H,owever, Mr. Macklanburg says, I\{aduco Plastic Moulding is not to be looked upon as merely a war-time substitute, but a long step irr the advancement of added beauty and utility to household equirpment, and in other places where counters, bars, tables, etc., are used.

Maduco Plastic Moulding is a beautiful neutral ivory, which, according to the manufacturers, gives widest range for decorative schemes. Harmonizing or contrasting color effects may be obtained by use of colored inserts in many of the strips, lvhich, from dealers' standpoint is advantageous because almost any requirement can be taken care of with a minimum investment in stock.

The Maduco Plastic Moulding line consists of twenty shapes, including packaged, factory fit sink frames. Catalog on the lVIaduco line may be obtained from Macklanburg-Duncan Company, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Ceiling for Plumbing Fixtures Looms Washington, Mar. 3-Following industry meetings with manufacturers, wholesalers and jobbers of plumbing fixtures and cast iron b,oilers and radiators, the Office of Price Administration is conducting an investiga.tion to determine what price shall be established to cover these products.

Questionnaires are being sent to members of the industries for cost inforlnation. Upot the receipt of replies, OPA will decide, probably within 30 days, what the price ceilings for these commodities are to be. Increases, some as high as 15 p€rcent, have been quoted on some items.

At the industry meetings, held at OPA offices in Washington on February 18 and 20 last, OPA officials discussed the price situation as afiecting vitreous china and enamele{ cast iron fixtures and cast iron boilers and radiators.

At the time of the meetings Leon Henderson, Price Administrator, indicated that proposed increases would have a chaotic efiect upon the building industry. He warned of OPA action unless prices are kept within reason.

and construction practices agree.

While the applicant will determine the details of interior arrangement, a center corridor plan will be followed along the lines of the pillars.

The floor plan comprises two school rooms with a corridor between. Partitions are non-bearing and can be moved to broaden the corridor into another room or otherwise alter the floor plan so the structure may be used as a public health center, or for other purposes, when it is no longer needed as a school.

These buildings may be left in their present location indefinitely, or moved to other parts of the community.

Besides the class room, each structure contains closets and cloakroom. Plywood walls, insulation board ceiling, wood flooring; and composition blackboards finish thc interiors.
