Wonder what Will would say if he could be here today to see how great has grown the part of the check book in our foreign policy? For that matter, Will would probably swoon like a swan if he could see the part the check book plays in our entire governmental operations. The national check book already takes care of vast numbers of our people here at home, and uncounted millions abroad; and present plans would increase that coverage enormously. Solve all problems with money ! That has been our national anthem since 1933.
Trying to stifle history because the men are dead, certainly demonstrates a strange and perverted understanding of history. For history is simply the story of men who are dead, and trying to prevent free discussion of the works of men iecently dead just because they ARE dead, is plain silly, and besides, it won t w*ork
Referring again to the first paragraph above, what we need in this country today is some of the diplomacy that George Kao tells about in his little book on Chinese wit and humor. He says: "After the death of the consort of the King of Ch'i, there were seven rivals for the position. Wishing to know which of the seven the King favored most, the Duke of Hsueh presented the King with seven pieces of jade, one of them surpassing all the others in beauty and quality. On the following day he spotted the lady that wore the finest piece of jade and recommended her to the King as his new consort."
Speaking of diplomacy, we Americans certainly learn little of that fine art from our recent Presidents, as witness the gentle name that Mr. Truman applied in public to one of his critics. A storm of public wrath has followed that colossal error by a man in his position. But, though I offer no excuse and suggest no defense for the "SOB" remark, it is at least better than sending the object of his wrath a German Iron Cross, like Roosevelt did, or sending the Income Tax men around to'check his books and scare him to death as was common practice in the New Deal era. Neither method of meeting criticism is entitled to serious defense. Truman's method Ir T"T forthright, that's all.
We hear much and read more about our public debt, but seldom stop to wonder who we owe all that money to. According to the last statistics f read on that subject, we
owe 27 per cent to individuals; 26 per cent to comrnercial banks; 14 per cent to insurance companies and mutual savings banks; 14 per cent to government agencies and trust funds; 11 per cent to corporations, state and local governments; and 8 per cent to federal reserve banks. Much of the public debt to individuals is in the form of savings bonds; about 75 million persons have bought about 50 billions of dollars worth of these bonds. The basic method of carrying practically all the debt is through bonds, mostly of the tort* ,";.-*variety.
Just to try and get an idea of this debt and cost of government business, let us consider the words of Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, who, in a recent address in Washington, told a group of newspaper men at the National Press Club that the Treasury must collect ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY just to meet current expenses. How would you, dear reader, like to have to run a collection agency of that size?
Herbert Hoover has, with Truman approval, been planning and is now recommending streamlining the federal government to create economy and develop efficiency. He says that taxation in this country has now reached the saturation point. Yet, if the Truman spending program now before Congress, goes through, taxes will be much heavier. David Lawrence in U. S. News and World Report estimates that Mr. Truman's social security plan alone 'would cost the taxpayer about 5.5 per cent of his salary per year, which, added to his 20 per cent income tax, would take more than one fourth of his salary in deducts (money earned but never received). * *
Senator Byrd's latest estimate of the federal payroll shows that during 1948 civilian employes of the executive departments increased at the rate of 297 per day, of 109,000 for the year (election year). The total federal civilian employes at the time of that guess was 2,103,000, according to the Census Bureau. At the same time the Bureau estimated that there were 962,000 employes of state governments, and 3,OQ9,000 employes of local governments, a total of 6,074,000 names o"*"tt**o*""rnment payrolls.
The controller general of the United States, testified with reg'ard to Herbert Hoover's plan for reorganization, as follows: "If this fails we might as well close up shop for good with regard to our hopes of ever reducing the size of this government or eliminating waste, extravagance, or useless functions. Government bureaucracy has become a modern Frankenstein, bigger than the Congress which created it,

and a menace to the nation's economy. This unsegregated, sprawling crop of government functions and functionaries cannot do the job unless someone makes only one or two bureaus grow where dozens grew before. The present setup is a hodge-podge, crazy-quilt of duplications, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies with attendant extravagance. It is an ideal system of tax-eaters." That's telling 'em, and by a man in better position to judge than almost anyone else in government
{< ,. *
One newspaper I read says it knows a man who saved up all the government literature he received urging him to save paper, and that the total paper-saving bulletins weighed between five and six pounds. That's why the government runs and continues to run the world's biggest printing and publishing business. The Congressional Record quotes figures furnished by Senator Styles Bridges on the amount of printing done by the federal government, and guesses it runs into hundreds of millions of dollars. He says that the official cost of government printing and binding in 1948 amounted to 45 million'dollars, but that this does not include research, editing, typing, reviewing, checking, and distributing of the things printed, which dwarfs the printing bill itself. So the tax bill grows.
Senator Bridges read the nam€s of a lot of government publications issued by various bureaus, which included the following: "The Embriology of Behavior;" "The Code of Hammurabi;" "Habits, Food, and Economic Status of the Band-Tailed Pigeon;" "Mist Netting for Birds in Japan;" "Deer Mortdity from Gunshot Wounds," and many others just as silly. Looks like we could start almost anywhere in the federal set-up in our search for saving opportunities, and strike pay dirt.
Speaking of,social service costs and taxes, whatever happens here this year will be just beans compared with the situation in Manchester, England. On February 20th the City Council of that city approved a 75 per cent increase in local taxes to cover the cost of their expanding social security progr:rm. "There are no present indications that the end of this upward trend has been reached," said the Chairman of the City Finance Committee. The cost of Socialism is high. The various socialistic propositions now before Congress in this country will cost a lot more than their proponents publicly estimate. And the biggest cost of all is in the loss of personal independence and initiative on the part of the people. The man who is simply a ward of the state, will never help make the state better or stronger. Faceless men seldom show their faces.

I now confess, with more regret than surprise, that I was wrong about Mr. Truman and his legislative intentions. I had thought, and printed in these columns, that he must sense the fact that to frighten and depress business, and industry, and capital, and investors, is the short road to depression. NOT to RECESSION-buI to DEPRESSION. ft seemed to me he could not fail to see the danger to our high level economy that must follow kicking business and employers around. But it seems from all
his recent r.emarks and acts that he has accepted no such danger signals, and feels that he has a mandate of some sort to repress and depress that part of our population which has as much as eight dollars and washes its neck. So be it. There seems nothing we can do about it but hustle and hope.
But it is hard to understand that among all his following there are none who can convince him that he travels a dangerous course. How can he help knowing that since the third day of last November innumerable Americans of power and consequence have been hauling in their horns, cutting down their business activities, changing their investments from business to liquid, .and getting ready to crawl into the cyclone cellar when the blast sweeps down. Nobody dislikes talking pessimism more than I do; but if f were to relate the things I have heard of late concerning the attitude of bright and powerful men toward our present situation, this column today would be blue as indigo. And if the present Truman legislation goes through Congress as is-look out for hurricanes to follow these present squalls. And Brother, we're having sgualls now. Don't doubt it.
It may be that there is enough concentrated conservative wisdom in this country to stave off the danger signals now flying in Washington. The press of the country, Democratic and Republican alike, is largely of the opinions here expressed. They view with alarm those socialistic movements that threaten us. With their powerful assistance the dangers may be met-and overcome. Let us pray. But up to this moment there is no sign of slackening in the drive for radical and dangerous legislation. A battle of tremendous import impends, and on the result of that battle the welfare of this country for a long time to comedepends. ***
They would cancel the right of the Government to use the courts to avoid paralyzing strikes. Yet only a couple of years ago we heard Harry Trumar5 in facing the threatened railroad strike, use these words. He must forget what he said then, for these were his remarks: "Farmers cannot move food to markets. All of you will see your food supplies dwindle, your health and safety endangered, your streets darkened, your transportation facilities broken down. Returning veterans will not be able to get home. Millions of workers will be thrown out of their jobs. This is no contest between labor and management. This is a contest between a small group of men and their government. As President of the United States, I am the representative of 140,000,000 people, and I cannot stand idly by while they are being caused to suffer." ***
Again in the threatened coal strike, he went to the courts to prevent terrible harm coming to this whole nation. Yet now he seems to have forgotten those two great threatened tragedies, and would kill the legislation that makes it possible to prevent others. Is it any wonder, this being only one of many present threats, that business and industry

"Housemart" was the name selected by the judges for the new RODDIS Light Weight Hardwood Flush Door. Out of over 4,000 entries the title submitted by Miss Joan Englert, secretary for the Hulsman Planing l\{ill of St. Anthony, Indiana, was chosen. Miss Englert received a check for $1,000 for her efforts.
Second prize, of $500.00, went to L. Whitford Williams, New York City architect.
Third prize, also of $500.00, was awarded to a Los Angeles contestant, R. C. Emerson, saw operator for the B. H. Charles Cabinet Shop.
The door, manufactured with a hollow veneer core construction and hardwood edge rails, is identified with a red dowel trade-mark in one of the side rails. The door has been sold for some months as the Roddis Light Weight Flush door and has been very well received. According to John Eells, manager for Roddis California, Inc. in Los Angeles, over 7,000 of the doors have been sold in this market alone.
The Housemart door is available for wholesale distribution through the Los Angeles Roddis warehouse and Roddiscraft fnc. of San Francisco. (See front cover.) Doors are on hand in Birch, Maple, Gum, Mahogany, Oak and Walnut with matching edge rails of the same species.

San Francisco, Feb. 18-The lumber industry has been made one of the first targets of the administration in a battle to impose the will of a "regimented welfare state" upon the nation, members of the Western Pine Association were told today.
The speaker was Richard A. Colgan, Jr., Washington, D. C., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers association. Addressing the final day's ses.sion of the annual 'Western Pine meetings in the Palace hotel here, he decfared the danger lies in proposals befole the 81st Congress calling for extension of the public housing program and government control of private forest lands.
Colgan criticized Senate Bill 712 proposing additional funds for Title I and Title II of the Federal Housing Act and an increased revolving fund for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to pur'chase mortgages' He reported that the public housing bill calls for 1,000,00O public housing units compared with 500,000 listed last year in the Taft-Ellender-Wagner measure.
"If passed, this proposed legislation will, for all practical purposes, establish a permanent agency of gargantuan size, r.vith Congress having little or no control over its activities," he charged.
Concerning control of forests, the national executive pointed first to President Truman's economic report and then to recommendations of the U. S. Forest Service' The Forest Service contention that control of individual woodlots is necessary to prevent forest depletion was branded as untrue.
Construction in 1949 may reach a record total of nearly 25,000,000,000, the Associated Contractors of America was told.
H. E. Foreman, managing director of the Association, said at the annual convention in New York that there are potentials for $18,750,000,000 in new construction and $6,000,000,000 in maintenance and repair operations. This would compare with $17,700,000,000 in new construction and $6,000,000,000 in maintenance and repairs in 1948'

When C. M. McDowell was at the office of the San Pedro Lumber Company, Los Angeles, to buy some lumber last month he told the boys in the office he remembers driving to the San Pedro Lumber Co. at San Pedro in 1898 with a horse and wagon for some fence posts and boards.
He came in from Westminster. The roads were so bad and the distance so great for a heavy load that he had to stay over night in town, making it a two-day trip.
O. D. Ruse of Ruse Lumber Co., Stockton, was the guest of honor of a group of friends and associates at a dinner party held February 2, lor the purpose of celebrating his fortieth year in the retail lumber business.
Mr. Ruse started his retail lumber career on February 1, 1909, in Centralia, Kansas, working for the Searle and Chapin Lumber Company. The first few years of his lumber experience were spent with Middle West line yard corn' panies in Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
Deciding to move west he spent about five years in Twin Falls, Idaho, and then moved to Stockton, Calif. in 1922. Af.ter six years management of a large yard in Stockton he went into busirress for himself, in a concern known as the Ruse-Blair Lumber Company. This partnership was dissolved in 1946, and Mr. Ruse is now the senior member of the Ruse Lumber Company, in partnership with his son, Dale Ruse. The yard is located at 302 West Fremont Street, Stockton 16.
R. E. (Bob) Weborg is now with Arcata Lumber Sales Co., San Francisco, as salesman, covering the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys and the Coast Counties. He has a background of redwood mill experience, which includes work on the production line, and in the office.

Clyde A. Fulton
Clyde A. Fulton, ColboruFulton Lumber Company, Charlotte, Michigan, jovial vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D. C., commented when asked for biographical information concerning himself :
"Never really have had time to indulge myself in pursuit of my hobbies, but am a patient fisherman (not nearly as good as Ed Libbey), an amateur photographer (not nearly as good as Norm Mason), and a most enthusiastic sport fan."
A quick resume of his accomplishments in other fields, business and civic as well, might cause one to wonder how he managed to devote any time to the above mentioned hobbies.
His first position in the lumber business was as a bookkeeper, a job he accepted two years after graduating in 1906 from the Central High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
During the first World War he served in the U. S. Army Irom l9I7 to 1919, first at Camp Meade, Maryland, and later as a 2nd Lieutenant at Camp Custer. Upon his discharge he again entered the lumber business.
Since that time he has risen to the position of ownermanager of the Colborn-Fulton Lumber Company; is president of the First National Bank of Charlotte, Michigan and Director of the Eaton County Federal Savings and Loan Co.
For a number of years he has been a director of the Michigan Retail Lumber Association, and has also served that Association in the capacity of treasurer, vice-president and president.
In the civic life of his community he is past commander of the Greenawalt-Flaherty Post, American Legion; past president of the Charlotte Rotary Club; past master, Charlotte Lodge F. & A. M.; past commander, Charlotte Commandery, Knights Templar; past grand commander, Grand Commandery of Michigan; and is now an active member, 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Masonry, Northerrr Jurisdiction.
According to Mr. Fulton he has a formidable list of other "pasts" not mentioned here.
"I had promised myself," said Mr. Fulton, "that I was going to spend the next few years having a little of the fun that was denied by lack of time while I was being the "present" of a few of the things of which I am now the "past," but current problems make that promise look a little dubious. I will probably continue to get my fun where I found it during the past forty years-in some phase of the lumber business."
The Taylor Lumber Company, a copartnership 'consisting of Reeves Taylor and Raymund J. Schaecher, has, at the request of Reeves Taylor and with the consent of Raymund J. Schaecher, been dissolved as of February %, 1949. Under the terms of the dissolution agreement Raymund J. Schaecher has the right for the period of nine months to do business under the assumed name of Taylor Lumber Company. Reeves Taylor will continue in the wholesale lumber business as Reeves Taylor Lumber Company, with offices in the Osburn Hotel, Eugene, Oregon.
Associated with the Reeves Taylor Lumber Company are:
H. J. (Herb) Cox. Mr. Cox has been actively engaged in the Western Oregon lumber industry since 1907, for the past 2L years serving as se'cretary-manager of the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association, and for 16 years as area representative of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.
C. H. (Charlie) Ditewig. Mr. Ditewig was formerly with the West Oregon Lumber Company for 15 years, and for the past year was with the Taylor Lumber Company.
J. O. (Joe) McCully. Mr. McCully was formerly with the M & M Wood Working Company at Portland for approximately 20 years, and for the past three and one-half years has been with the Taylor Lumber Company.
Stuart A. Coulter has sold the Foothill Lumber Company of Glendora, Calif., to Glenn E. Berry and Walter L. Wiley, owners of the Glendora Builders Supply. The new owners took over control on February 1, and will operate the concern under the same name and with the same personnel. Mr. Coulter is retiring from the retail field to devote his time to management of his citrus holdings, and tr> the wholesale lumber firm in which he has been interested for some time.
The Foothill Lumber Company was established about 12 yearc ago by the late Colonel John Hastie and Mr. Coulter at the present site of the Hastie Company. They later bought out the Glendora Lumber Company and the Riser Lumber Company. The stocks of these businesses were combined, and Mr. Coulter bought out Colonel Hastie, beginning then a program of expansion, enlarging the plant, adding various lines, and putting in a hardware store and gift shop. The company now does electrical contracting also.
The Diamond Match Company, Chico, recently announced the appointment, effective February 1 of Kenneth L. Brownell as superintendent of retail yards.
C. August (Gus) Silberstein, former manager of the Dunsmuir yard, was appointed, effective February l, main offices sales estimator.

PLYBASE is a NEW grade of Interiortype Douglas fir plywood-manufactured especially as a smooth, firm, rigid base for linoleum, asphalt tile, wall-to-wall carpeting and other similar floor coverings. PlyBase is an excellent backing for wall tile and other panel materials.
Because it presents a smooth, solid base, PlyBase reduces wear on linoleum, carpeting, asphalt tile and other modern wall to wall floor coverings.
Quiek and easy to install . there are several handy panel sizes to meet the needs of any job. Because joints and cracks are reduced to a minimum, the smooth, firm surface reduces over-all wear.
Sanded smooth, PlyBase presents a surface that is tight and solid for best finished covering ap. pearance and wear. In addition to new work, PlyBase serves well in remodeling to cover old, rough, worn flooring with a smootho firm surface for new covering.
For walls, too-PlyBase serves as a backing for wall tile and other wall coverings requiring a smooth, solid backing.
Under PlyBase, or any other type of finish flooring, PlyScord is the ideal subflooring. [t ofiers a rigid, sturdy working platform . . . insulates and protects against cold from below. PlyScord can be quicklv, easily and economically applied for roof and wall sheathing as well as for subflooring.

Georgia-Pacific Plyw oo d & Lumber Co. recently announccd the appointment of F. A. (Pete) Toste as Division Manager of the Southern Pacific Division of the company. This lvas a promotion from his former position as manager of the California branch office at 2219 Fair Par'r Avenue, Los Angeles 41, Calif.
At the same time announcement was made that W. H. Montgomery is norv in charge of Southern California sales.
The Southern Pacific Division comprises the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.
Reference to the files of Tlie California Lumber Merchant reveals the fact that Mr. Toste's choice of the lumber business as a career was probably influenced by having a grandfather who was a logging operator, and that his father was in the logging business in Minnesota in his younger days and later operated a retail yard in North Dakota.
Pete was graduated from the University of Montana in Forestry in the Class of '29. During his college course he worked in spare time in the sawmill of Polleys T-umber Co., Missoula, Mont. He spent tl-re first tu'o sttmmers in the U. S. Forest Service, and the last two summer vacations working at the Polleys mill. After graduation he rvorked for a year with this concern, handling various jobs in the sarvmill, and later in the company's retail yard.
He came to California in 1932. He was four years with E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, six months in the yard, and the remainder of the time in the office, in the u'holesale department. He rvas with Coos Bay Lumber Co., Los Angeles, for a year; was a salesman for LawrencePhilips Lumber Co., Los Angeles, for a year, followed by a year as salesman for MacDonald & Harrington, Ltd., Los Angeles.
In 1939 he became mallager of the Southern California operations of Rockport Redwood Company, and Rounds Trading Company, and in 1944 entered the 'rvholesale lunrber business for himself in Los Angeles. He operated his own business until last fall, when he became associated rvith Georgia-Pacific Plywood & Lumber Co.
The next lttncheon of the San Francisco Lumbermen's Cltrb rvill be held at noou, I\{arch 22, in the Comstock Room, Palace Hotel, San Francisco.

The customer at the filling station asked to have his crankcase oil changed.
"Do you want bulk oil, or the oil that comes in the sealed cans?" asked the oil station man.
"'What's the difference?" the customer wanted to know.
"The oil is the same," said the attendant. "The bulk oil is for people who take my word about the quality; the canned oil is for those who don't."
Band saw filers, benchmen, and helpers attended a conference held recently in Eureka under the auspices of the Fred E. Barnett Company. Men were present from most of the mills in Humboldt county, and several in Del Norte County. Also present were technical experts from the Simonds Saw and Steel Company, who helped sponsor the conference. Actual demonstrations of welding methods were made by Lew Conliy, welding expert from Simonds in Portland.
The customer was thoughtful. He saii:
"Mister, your word is as good as mine."
"Okay," said the attendant, looking pleased, as he started for the bulk oil barrel.
"Wait a minute," said the customer. "I said your word is as good as mine. It IS. But it ain't any better. GM ME THAT CANNED OIL !''

At their annual meeiing in Chicago on February 15, 1949, the stockholders of The Celotex Corporation elected Henry W. Collins as a director of the corporation to filI the vacancy existing because of an increase itr the size of the board.
Mr. Collins has been associated with Celotex since 1926 when he became a sales representative in the New York territory. Later, he was transferred to the midwest where he was appointed manager of the Chicago sales division, and in 1936 he went to New York in a similar capacity for that division. In 1938 he returned to Chicago as vice president in charge of merchandising. In April, 1948, Mr. Collins became executive vice president of the company.
Mr. Collins' home is in Glenview, Ill. He is a member of the North Shore Country Club and a former director of the Lake Shore Club of Chicago.

A half-centry after Congress passed the law under which the 152 National Forests are managed by the Forest Service, Chief Lyle F. Watts said in his annual report that these public forests "still represent the largest tangiblc accomplishment in forest conservation in this country,, and are in many ways "the finest public forest system in the world."
Declaring that national security and welfare demand sound management and wise use of all forest land, Mr. Watts said that with our growing population and the steady depletion of many forests in private ownership "our national forests and other public forests undoubtedly will play an increasingly important part in the Nation's economy."
Evidence of the downward trend of the private timber supply is found in the growing demand for timber from the National Forests, he said. He pointed out that thc 3,800,000,000 board feet of timber cut on the National Forests last year was three times the prewar cut of 1,250,000,000 board feet and that "many sawmills that formerly had supplies of private timber are now wholly dependent on national forest timber to keep going."
The Chief Forester makes clear that the National Forests cannot alone do the whole job of meeting the nation's timber requirements. Although they now have 30 per cent of the sawtimber volume they include only 16 per cent o[ the country's 461,000,000 acres of commercial forest land. Furthermore, says the report, "The more accessible and potentially more productive forest lands are for the most part in private ownership. We must still rely on private lands for the bulk of our timber supply."
Continued depletion of the private timber supply, and rvidespread deterioration of watershed values as a result of poor forest practices on private forest lands, according to the report, emphasize the urgency of repeated recommendations by the Forest Service for measures which will assnre better private forest management.
These recommendations include a Federal-state plan for control "of timber cutting and related practices on private land sufficient to prevent destructive practices and to assure that the land is kept reasonably productive," with basic national standards and Federal financial assistance.
Operation and management of national forests, togethcr u'ith their protection from fire, insects and other menaccs, cost less than one-tenth of one per cent of the tax dollar, according to the report. Expenditures by the Forest Service for these purposes last year were approximately $32,000,000 while about $13,000,000 additional was spent from funds appropriated by Congress for roads, trails and tire purchase of land, part of .ivhich can be classed as capital 'investment. Operating expenses were offset, in large part, by national forest receipts, r,vhich last year totaled nearly $25,000,000, a figure that takes no account of the wealth of fublic services and benefits deriving from the nonrevenue-producing resources of these publicly owned forests.

By Western Pine Association
Portland, Ore., Feb. Z4-Charges for lumber reinspections by Western Pine Association inspectors.will be raised from $25 to $30 per day on March 1, the association reported today.
W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager, said that increased salary, hotel and travel expenses prompted the board of directors to boost the rates.
The new charge will be a flat $30 per day for the time required, including necessary time for travel to the job, for all shipments originating within the Western Pine Region. For reinspection of lumber shipped on 'Western Pine Association rules by mills anywhere outside the region, the charge will be $30 per day plus hotel and travel expense. The $30 plus expense rate will also apply on all certification work.
The Western Pine region covers the 11 western states east of the Cascades and the California Redwood region plus the Black Hills 6f South Dakota. The new basis of charges will apply to all requests received on and after March l,1949 and will be the same whether stock is shipped by an Association member or a non-member.
Griffee said that requests for reinspectoin should alway.s be accompanied by a copy of the invoice and the names and addresses oT the shipper and any other parties to the transaction. A $100 per car deposit is required from nonmember companies ordering reinspections.
Portland, Ore., February 9-Highest production mark reached by any shingle manufacturer in the United States for the year l94B was attained by the Portland Shingle Company, it was revealed today by Al Schmidt, president.
Recently released reports of the 'Western red cedar industry for the year show' that the Portland concern far outstripped in production any other manufacturer, he said. Its production exceeded 272,On squares, or more than a million bundles of shingles, enough to cover approximately 20,000 homes.
Since Western red cedar shingle manufacturers are today the largest producers of shingles in the United States, the figure scored by the Portland concern is a high mark nationally for 1948 shingle production as well as top figure among \Mesterh red cedar mills of the Pacific Northwest.
Established in 1935, the Portland Shingle Company operates a shake plant and a shingle mill in Portland, and three shingle mills in Washington-at Ridgefield, Kelso, and Quinault.

If your advertising is ten per cent more effective than your competitors' and seems to be fifty per cent better, you are in danger. You are no better off if it seems to be ten per cent superior when it is really fifty. In the first case a cornpetitor, by a little extra effort, can equal or pass your mark. In the second case he is more ready to take a try at what seems to be but ten per cent. What is the answer? Perhaps protecting that ten per cent or that fifty per cent by merchandising the advertising. Perhaps by even more persistence. Or, perhaps, by backing up either the ten or the fifty per cent by an intense and increased merchandising effort.
Give me a thousand kisses, and yet more, And then repeat those that have gone before; Let us kiss faster than the hours do fly, Long live each kiss and never know to die; Yet, if that fade and fly awaY too fast, Impress another, and renew the last.

A successful negro merchant in Birmingham attributes his good business judgment in part to his great-grandfather, Ephus Cracken, who was a slave. The man who owned Ephus owed a certain Northerner $1500, and the latter finally accepted Ephus in settlement of the debt.
"Ephus," the Northerner announced, "yo'u are now my property, but I don't want to take you North. So I will make you a proposition whereby you can earn some money and purchase your freedom."
The slave being agreeable to the idea, the Nontherner explained: "I will set you up in the trucking business. At intervals you can deduct your expenses from the proceeds, keep half the profits, and send me the other half. Theu, when you have accumulated $1,500 you can buy your freedom."
Ephus accepted the proposition, and was soon operating a trucking business. As the business grew the industrious slave took on helpers, and soon had four trucks operating profitably. When he had sent his owner and backer nearly $3,000, the latter wrote and hinted that it was time for Ephus to purchase his freedom. But Ephus studiously avoided the suggestion. At length the Northerner sent an emissary to discuss the matter.
"Ephus," the representative pleaded, "surely you realize the many advantages of buying your freedom?"
"Ah sho does," Ephus replied. "An' I ain't buyin'! Does you think A'se gonna pay $1SOO fo' such a scrawny, baldheaded, toothless little man lak Ah is?" (Wall Street Journal.)
(What famous thinkers said on this subject.)
Benjamin Franklin said: "I believe in One God, Creator of the universe. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this."
Edwin Markham said: "The few little years we spend on earth are only the first scene in a Divine Drama that extends on into Eternity."
Propertius said: "There is something beyond the grave; death does not end all, and the pale ghost escapes from the vanquished pyre."
Seneca said: "Therefore look forward withotrt fear to that appointed hour-the last hour of the body, but not of the soul. That day, which you fear as being the end of all things, is the birthday of your eternity."
Walt Whitman said: "Swear I think there is nothing but immortality."
Apocrypha reads: "God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity."
Plato said:
"It must be so, Plato, thou reason'st well ! Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire This longing after immortalitY? Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror Of falling into naught? Why shrinks the soul Back on herself, and startles at destruction?
'Tis the divinity that stirs within us; 'Tis heaven itself that points out an hereafter, And intimates eternity to man."
Three men came into a hotel and asked for a suite of rooms. "The rate is $10 a person," said the room clerk. "It's $30 for the three of you." They paid in advance the thirty bucks.
When they had gone to their roorns the manager noted the charge. He pointed out to the room clerk and cashier that there had been an over-charge. The correct rate was $25. So a bell-boy was sent up to return the five. But the boy, being unscrupulous, decided to keep $z for himself. He returned only one dollar to each of the three men. Being happy to get the refund, they did not check with the clerk.
And see what happened ! Originally, the men paid $10 each, or a total of $30. Each was refunder $1, making each man's payment $9. Multiply that by three and you get a total of $27 that they paid. The bell-boy kept $2. What happened to the other dollar?

In the intensified campaign by West Coast Woods Promotion in behalf of all grades of lumber, the organization's Farm Book continues as an important part of the program'
The book-its full title is "The Farm Book-A Gui4e To Better Farming with Better Buildings"-was especially prepared for the promotional organization to help the farmer get greater operational efficiency.
Distribution of the $1 book, since its issuance last year, has been by retail dealers, who report that it not only stimulates sales of builCing materials to farmers, but also creates valuable goodu'll through the money-saving advice it offers. With the farm market becoming more and more competitive, many retailers are pushing Farm Book sales this spring in order to benefit by readers' added building needs, created by ideas the book presents'
Since the theme of the current West Coast Woods advertising is "There's a Right Way to Do Everythittg ' ' ' and a Right Grade of West Coast Woods for Every Building IJse," the Farm Book fits naturally into the program' A considerable number of the advertisements, each mentioning the Farm Book, are appearing in farm publications'
The book is well illustrated throughout and written in non-technical terms. It was prepared by the Doane Agricultural Service, St. Louis, and is the product ol theit 26 years' experience in managing thousands of farms and ranches with the object of making them pay' They say that only by actually planning, building, using and rearranging farm buildings, and trying new methods and ideas has it been possible to eliminate or reduce time-conquming jobs, cut construction costs and make buildings real money-making tools. And they add that farm operators can hardly believe how quickly and easily livestock, grain, feed and hay can be handled with buildings as modern as their power farming equipment'
Basically the book gives the farmer a dependable source of construction, remodeling and renovation advice, plus valuable information on the housing and feeding of animals, storage of crops and equipment' It is replete with tables and charts.
The books are being furnished to retailers, at special
After having completed another successful year, the Placerville Lumber Company started repairing mills and equipment on February l, 1949, and plans are to open logging camps and sawmills by April 15.
This company cut 35,000,000 board feet of lumber last year and the same production is predicted lor 1949, according to Harvey West cf the Placerville Lumber Company'
The company owns approximately 30,000 acres of timberlands in El Dorado County which was cruised during 19,[8 by Mason, Bruce & Girard, consulting foresters of Portland, Oregon. These lands show a total of approximately 450,000,000 board feet of timber. The company also has several timber contracts with the United States Forest Service and cooperates with the Forest Service in man' aging the ,company owned timberlands.
On January L, lg4g, the company had 16,000,000 board feet of lumber on hand as stated by J. C. Mclntosh, company representative: all of this lumber has been sold' As fast as weather conditions permit this stock will be run through the company's manufacturing plants and shipped out by rail and truck. Mr. Mclntosh also predicts a favorable outlook for the 1949 season, and in order to remanufacture all grades of lumber locally, new machinery for a box factory and cut-up-plant has been purchased and is being installed at Present.
As in past years, the company will again sponsor two baseball teams, the BARTLETTS in the Placer Nevada League and the OUTLAWS in the Foothill League'

A comprehensive report, giving the average experience of 5I member companies of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association, comPiled by Derby Bendorf, of Thc Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia, Calif., president of the Association, and presented by hirn at the recent annual meeting, has been sent to each member of the organization.
In submitting the report Mr. Bendorf says in part: "We believe that each one of you will be interested in comparing your orvn 1948 industrial accident experience with the average experience of 51 member conlpanies." There follows an over-all summary of 51 companies, including both large and small operations, including logging, transportation, sawmills, planing mills, and assc'ciated operations. The summary shows: Total hours of exposllre, 27,369,238; Total lost time accidents, 2,211 ; Total days lost, 230,638; Frequency rate, 80.78; Severity rate, 8.43.
The report continues:
"From the latest statistics made available by the Dcpartment of Labor Statistics and Research of the State of California, the industry-wide frequency rate for the first 10 months of 1948 is 93.50, compared with 80.78 for the rnember companies of our Association. This would indicate that the experience of our members is approximately I4/o better than the average of both member and nonmember companies combined. This is very encollragilrg and should spur us on to greater effort."
Then a breakdown is given of accidents as to causes, typi: of injury resulting from accidents; breakdown of over-all composite as to causes, logging and transportation only, and also sarvmills, planing mills, and associated plant operations, and a separate breakdorvn for planing mills, box factories, and yards. 'fhe report concludes as follows:
"From the above breakclown, it should be possible for the individual corripany members to compare their own accident experience both as to frequency and causes rvith the average for all of the 51 companies included in the composite.
"We have not stressed the se'r'erity of the injuries inasmuch as our main job is to eliminate the cause of the accident.
"It is worthy of note that the over-all composite indicates that approximately 9.8/o of all accidents were due to causes which might suggest lack of proper mechanica" safeguarding, and that 90.2/o fell rvithin the category of personnel failures, involving both supervisory and employee responsibilities.
'iMembers should feel free to call upon their Associatiort for any information or advices which may be helpful to you irr your 1949.accident prevention prograln' The office address is 1706 Brbadway, Oakland 12, Calif '"

Washington, D. C., March 4-To provide additional encourag'ement for the development of housing cooperatives, FHA Commissioner Franklin D. Richards today broadened the Administration's regulations to permit cooperative groups to secure an analysis of their project, even before financing has been arranged rvith a lending institution.
Up to the present time a group of individuals planning the development of a housing cooperative had to have a financial institution willing to make the loan before an application could be submitted to the Federal Housing Administration for analysis as to eligibility for mortgage insurance un{er Section 207 of. the National Housing Act. The amended administrative rules permit deferment oi the execution of an application by an approved mortgagee until after FHA has analyzed the case.
"The Housing Act of. 1948 provided several Cooperative Housing fnsurance plans," Mr. Richards pointed out, "and we in FHA have utilized every facility at our disposal to permit the benefits of this legislation to be received by groups interested in developing housing cooperatives. Today's amendment to the Administration's requirements is just another means of smoothing the way for cooperative groups."
Under the amended rules it is no longer necessary for sponsors to find a lending institution willing to make the loan before the proposed project can be analyzed by tlre FHA. Most mortgage lenders have so far had little or no experience in lending on cooperative projects and prior analysis will be helpful in encouraging financing of this type. It is expected that the elimination of this requirement will be helpful in developing cooperative projects.
The FHA has already set up a special section in the Washington office to make available to interested groups technical information with reference to the organization oI cooperatives and the construction of such projects.
Field offices of the Administration throughout the country are now prepared to receive requests for the analysis of cooperative projects direct from sponsoring groups.
The insurance of mortgages on cooperative projects serves as another means of meeting the present housing needs, particularly of many veterans.

A native of Font_ anelle, fowa, he lived in the middle west until 1910, when he came to California. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Helen G. Loudon at Scotia, a sister Edith L. Denham of Selma, and three sons, Robert and James, proprietors of the For_ tuna Hardware Company, and Oorrald, who is employed by The Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia.
Th" species sold commercially as, West Coast hemlock is distinct from Eastern hemlock. L,arge stands of West coast hemlock extend along the pacific -coast from Araska to Northern california. The wood is uniform and fine te*tured, is moderatety tight in weight and has high strength properties. In the common grades, West Coast hemlJck is often mixed and sold with Douglas fir.
A pitch pocket ordinarily has so little effect on timbers of structural size that it can be disregarded in grading for strength.

With an eye on new and rich selling markets, growers, shippers and marketers of California State products are looking with favor on the new refrigerated ship service offered by the Pacific Argentine Brazil Line, operated by Pope & Talbot Lines. This service is of speciallnterest tL the citrus industry of this area. The first sailing will be the P&T Forester from Los Angeles on March 26 with additional ships scheduled approximately on a 30_day fre_ quency. The PAB Line operates large C_3 cargo vessels from Pacific Coast ports via panama ,Canal to the impor_ tant cities of the caribbean and the East coast of south America as far as Buenos Aires. In addition to carrying cargo, PAB ships are modernly equipped to accommodate twelve passengers who may desire a leisurely ocean voy_ age.
The ships are equipped with twelve refrigerated com_ partments with a capacity for 1000 tons of perishatrle,com_ modities. Each compartment is engineered to maintain a controlled temperature to assure top-delivery of products at the point of destination. Fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products and other like commodities can now be marketed with profit in South American cities.
In announcing the new service, George H. Bushnell, Southern California manager for the pacific Argentine Brazil Line at Los Angeles, stated, ,.When it is considered that the seasons of South American countries are exactlv opposite to those of North America, our new service will enable g'rowers, packers and shippers oi Calilornia to promote new markets for their products. pope & Talbot of_ fices are prepared to cooperate with firms interested in the pbrts reached via the PAB Line by supplying authentic first hand market information. The pAB Line (first started in 1926) and re-established in 1947, has enabled hun_ dreds of manufacturers and agriculturdl interests along the entire Pacific Coast to open up new selling opportunities in South American cities which have proven to be profitable markets."
