Western Pine Annual Meeting

(Continued from Page 14) program to 'Keep the Timber Growing.' Forest practice rules have been adopted ,for each state in the region as a guide to both management and loggers. The conscious application of these rules in the woods will help to grow the raw material required to sustain the mills dependent upon the forest."

A staff of four district forest engineers under the direction of the chief forester serve as consultants to the industry in helping to solve operating and forestry problems.

Highlight of the Western Pine promotion committee report was the information that there exists a great surge of interest in the Western Pines from inquirers seeking information that would be helpful in future homebuilding as indicated by a veritable avalanche of requests for copies of the various booklets put out by the Association. These inquiries show a strong continuing interest in knotty pine paneling.

On the evening of February 21 George T. Gerlinger, well known Portland and Willamette Valley lumberman who recently concluded two years as president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, was guest of honor at an informal dinner at the lJniversity Club. The dinner was sponsored by Western Pine board of directors from the twelve Western States who were in Portland for the annual meeting. Among the 50 guests were two past presidents of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and five past presidents of the Western Pine Association as well as President AuS.J. Stange of La Grande who served as toastmaster. fntroductory remarks preceding Mr. Gerlinger's talk were made by C. L. Billings of Lewistcin, Idaho.

Temporary Increase on Manufacturers' Ceiling Prices of Plaster Lath

Ceilings for plaster lath, critically needed for postwar residential construction in some areas, will be temporarily increased $4 per 1,000 pieces on February 26,1946. The ceiling for No. 1 Grade will then be $9; the ceiling for No. 2 Grade, $8.

The price increase was allowed on recommendation of the Civilian Production Administration to encourage use of Douglas fir and hemlock slabs in plaster lath.

The new ceiling price, granted at the manufacturers' level, will expire automatically lN days from the efiective date.

Persons who buy this lath at retail will pay from $4.25 to $4.60 per thousand pieces more than they have been paying. To prevent unduly high prices at retail and unwarranted increases in distributors' margins, OPA has eliminated a "handling charge" of 6O cents per thousand pieces formerly allowed as part of retail margins. Forty cents of this handling charge is being eliminated from wholesalers' margins. Even with this change, wholesalers will realize the same dollar-and-cent margin as previously. Retailers will have a slightly larger profit than they have had hitherto.

(Amendment No. 21 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 26-Douglas Fir and Other West Coast Lumber j effective February 26, 1946.)

Springrtime

When last I faced the wind upon this hill, And looked across the valley, white and stiil, I marked no sign of life on bush or tree, Lost in their thoughts, they waited silently. But now the lovely miracle of Spring' Pours throbbing beauty into everything; This is no time for bitterness or griefThe hand of God has touched each blade and leaf. Surely the One that glorifies this hourThe One ttrat brings the barren branch to flower, Will leave no reassuring work untold, Nor let a child sleep lonely in the cold.

No Justice

Prisoner (jumping up in prison movie): "sammit! That's a swell serial just starting, and I'm going to be hung Friday."

The Generous Scotchman

In a small English town during the days the American army was there in force, a couple of M.P.'s, strolling along in the evening, heard sounds of a terrific battle in a pub, and rushing in found a group of allied soldiers mixing it up into a fisty brawl. The M.P.'s finatty quelled the small riot, and found that there were three British Tommies, three G.I.'s, and a Scotchman that were doing the fighting. So they asked one of the British Tommies what it was all about, and he said:

"We was orl friendly an' 'avin' dinner together as nice as you please. Good food, good ale, everything top 'ole. Then, when we gets kind of full like, the big Scotty here calls for the check."

At this the big Scotchman began to splutter and tried to break away and get at one of the Americ'an G.I.'s, with eyes flashing and fists doubled up. He said:

"They dinna tell ya thot this domn Yank is a ventriloquist."

Grect Greciqn Rulers

The names of the Periclean Age are high. There is a higher one yet, that of Pericles. Statesman, orator, philosopher, soldier, artist, poet, lover, Pericles was so great that, like Zeus, he was called "The Olympian." If to him Egeria came, would it not, a poet somewhere asked, be uncivil to depict her as less than he? It would be not only uncivil, but untrue.

'Themistocles had earlier said: "You see that boy of mine? Though but fivd, he governs the universe. Yes, for he rules his mother, his mother rules me, I rule Athens, and Athens rules the world."

After Themistocles it was Pericles turn to govern and be ruled. His sovereign was Aspasia.-Edgar Saltus.

Just Common Sense

Sambo: "Hambone, does you believe in dese heah women's clubs?"

Hambone: "Only as a las' resoht, Sa4bo, only as a las' resoht; an' den only when de wornan is so big you cain't handle huh in no udda way."

Swinburne Wrote:

From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief Thanksgiving, \Mhatever gods there be; That no life lives foreverThat dead men rise up neverThat even the weariest riverWinds somewhere safe to sea.

Poor Visibility

Little Mose had been to Sunday School for the first time, and when he got home his mother asked him a few questions to discover how he had been impressed by the Bible stories he had heard.

"Whut wuz de Bible story de preachah done tole all you chilluns erbout?" she asked him.

"Hit wuz bout a fight whut dem chilluns ob Isrel had wid 4 whole big ahmy o' joints," little Mose said.

"Dass fine, lil man," said his mother, proudly. "An who wuz hit whut killed dat big Go-liath?"

Little Mose thought deeply. "Ah dunno, mama," he said, sort of apologetically. "Ah wuz'in de back seat an couldn't see good."

Remember

During ihe last year you have seen many cars bearing this sign on the windshield: "Warning-Anyone changing tires on this car is NOT the owner. Call police." It worked fine and protected many cars against tire thieves. But now and then some owner got a flat and forgot to take down the sign, and got into trouble.

Aviqtion

You will know that aviation has really arrived when you see a two-passenger airplane go sailing by over the tree tops with seven or eight school kids clinging to the seats.

The Priceless Ingredient

Professor Albert Einstein, being interviewed by newspaper men concerning his idea of success in life, offered the following formula: "If a is success in life, I should say that the formula is a equals x plus y plus z, x being work and y being play."

A reporter asked, naturally: "And what then is z?"

Einstein said: "z means keeping your mouth shut."
