"I can no morc imaginc a man loving only the North or South half of hir country than I can imaginc him loving only thc right or left side of hir wife. If I had to love my country on the installmcnt plaq I'd move out of it. The ' man who ir really a patriot loveg his country in a lump. There is room in hic heart for every acre of ite sunny soil; its every hill upon which the morning breaks; its every vale that cradles the evening shadowe; its every Etrcam that laughs back the image of the sun. I may be a man without a party or a creed; but so long as Old Glory \raves in God's blue firmament, I will never be a man without a country."

Cowper Brann.

Isn't the above a wonderful inspiration to patriotism? ft belongs, dear friends, in every scrapboolg it should be blazoned in letters of fire whcre all Americans may read; it should be placed in the hands of every boy now training for soldiering, and of all the parents and dear ones of those boys in uniform, who, as Jim McGuinness said, are offering "to die that w*e may live."

All men are more or less malleable. More than anything else my mind can reach for, "what this country needs," as the old saying goes, is more and better exhortations to patriotism, to love of country, to love of fag; they are needed a thousand times more today than ever before because this is a strange and unreal war we are engaged in, and confusion reigns supreme. This nation vitally needs to hear and read thrilling and inspiring thoughts translated into words and phrases like those above, which were spoken away back in 1894 at a patriotic rally that was partaken in by both Federal and Confederate veterans of the Civil War.

f read enormous quantities these days of printed words, editorials, columns, and news; and I listen to volumes of informative and otherwise words coming in over the radio, and there is constantly driven deep into my consciousness the belief that in all of them there is lacking one huge fundamental thing i pure patriotism i:loquently expressed. That is the great shortage today. Short-horse politicians make poor exhorters; they*save no souls.

ft seems fe ms-and I wake at night and shudder at the thought-that this mighty nation that once produced and provided patriotic sons capable of speaking and writing words of fire unsurpassed in all this world's history, hears and reads such words no more. Just as our leader-

rhip har rhrunken in rizc and importance, Bo har our oratory. Evcn in what ir bcing called thc "great debate" conccrning rending roldicre abroad, now in progrcr!, there is no oratory, no patriotic eloquence, no sraining at the heartr of men through the power of pulsing wordt and thrilling thoughts. Not any. And my mind gocs back to the time when in the United States Senate there took place an immortal debate, with Daniel Webster and Henry Clay on one side, and on the other John C. Calhoun, the mastcr logician. A British reporter who witnessed it, reported to his paper that nothing like it had been known on this earth since thc battle between the angels. Compare those men and their monumental gift of debate, with what takes place todaI I

Understand, we have lots of good, sincere, and patriotic men pouring the fruits of their hearts and minds into the effort to solve our present riddles; but the fire is lacking. Those who hear or read their words inherit from them no thrills, no patriotic fervor. The kind of talk that stirs the hearts of men when trumpets blow for war; that makes them walk up to the cannon's mouth with heads held high -is lacking. Perhaps I am too prone to exaggerate the value of eloquence. But think what a Webster, a Clay, a Calhoun, a Lincoln, a Patrick Henry, or an Ingersoll could do today to enthuse this nation and shake it from its lethargy!

Don't jump me, Junior, for putting Ingersoll in- that group ! Since the tingling of the morning stars came fresh from the hands of the Creator, few men have ever equalled the eloquence of Ingersoll. Recently while celebrating his birthday we read and spoke much about the amazing eloquence of Lincoln. Yet when that sublime thinker went to hear Ingersoll speak, he seemed to kneel in humble admiration of that great orator, for, returning, he said to his wife: "What a mighty instrument is human speech, when played by a master."*

Perhaps f can best illustrate the kind .of patriotic talk I am writing about, by simply quoting some more of the things that W. C. Brann said to that Civil War veterans' convention. If we just had men who could handle the present situation as he did that one! I believe these further remarks will thrill you as they have me. He said:

"As an American I am proud of every man of whatever section, who, by the nobility of his nature or the majesty of his intellect has added one jot or tittle to the fame of this fair land; has increased the credit of our common country; has contributed new power to the car of progress.

WELDWOOD

when You wont the Best

HARD BOARD

Weldwood' Hqrd Boord ossures you of top quolity, in the right grode, of the right size, qt the right price

To fill your requirements, simply call on the same sources that supply you with popular Weldwood Plywood.

\Teldwood Hard Board is available in both STANDARD and TEMPERED grades.

The STANDARD grade is your best bet for a thousand and one general uses.

And make a special note of TEMPERED grade. It's the perfect material for shower stalls, exterior sidings and many similar uses. It's light-colored, plastic-treated and extremely water - resistant.

No finishing is needed for either grade. The

natural, light buff color of Weldwogd Hdrd Board is just what builders ordered. Especially since it provides a perfect base for paint... even of the lightest hues.

And ro meet qll requirements, both grades of rVeldwood Hard Board come in three popular thicknesses: I/8",3/16" and, l/4', and six convenient sizes: 4' x 4' , 4' x 6' , 4' x 8' , 4' x t0', 4' x 12' and 4 x 16'. Sizes up to 4' x 12' are wrapped six to a package. The 4' x16' panels come four to a package.

rVeldwood Hard Board is sold by leading lumber dealers.

Are you of thc North? Thcn I claim with you a joint interest in your cntire galaxy of intcllectual godr. At the shrine of Lincoln'r broad humanity, of Webrtcr'r matchless power, of the cunning geniur of your Mcnlo Wizard (Edison), I humbly bow. Arc you of the South? Your Jefrerson, Jackron, and Lcc arc mine ac well aa thine, for they, too, were Americans, lords in that mighty ariatocracy of intellect that hae, in four generations, made the New World the wonder of the Old, with ite cumulative greatness of fofty centuries.

"Men have fought ere this and patchcd up a peace, but where in the annals of human history have we waged war more relentlesely than did Rome and Carthage, and then, without a murmur, accepted the arbitrament of the sword and swung into line, shoulder to shoulder, a band of brothers, one flag, one country, one destiny and that the highest goal of human endeavor. I have yet to hear an ex-federal who met Lee's veterans at the Wilderness or at Gettysburg, speak disrespectfully of the man who wore the gray. I have yet to hear an ex-confederate who mixed it with "Old Pap" Thomas at Chickamauga, or Joe Hooker above the clouds, speak disparagingly of those who wore the blue. fn commingling thus in a common brotherhood, those who followed the fortunes of the confederacy until human fortitude could no farther go; and those who with the sword's keen point held every gleaming star in Old Glory's field of blue, are furnishing a commendable example to all our countrymen, to all humanity. It is an echo, nay, an incarnation of those words of Grant-the grandest that ever fell from victorious warrior's lips: 'Let us have peace.'

"The battlefield was sown long since with kindlier seed than dragon's teeth, has blossomed and borne the fruits of Life, where Death reigned paramount. The flowers of the Southern fields are no longer dyed with the blood of the contending brave, but drip with heaven's dew; the sullen battery has gone silent on the purple hills, and crash of steel resounds no more amid our pleasant valleys. No longer the Northern child waits and watches for the soldier sire whose lips have felt the touch of God's own hand; no longer the Southern woman wanders with bursting heart amid the wreck and wraith of the fierce simoon, brushing the battle grime from cold brows, seeking among the mangled dead for all that life held dear. The curse has passed: 'Let us have peace t'

"Let us thank God that the fierce baptism of fire is in the past, and not yet to be; that the bitter cup can never be pressed to our children's lips; that never again while the world stands and the heavens endure will Americans meet in battle shock; that never again will our rivers run red with the blood of Columbia's brave, poured forth by her own keen blade; that the last stumbling-block has been removed from our path of progress; that we can now move forward with a giant's stride to that high destiny to which the chastening hand of God hath fitted us; the greatest nation and the grandest people in all the mighty tide of time." (End of Brann's remarks.)

Dear hearts and gentle people, I have quoted the words of a man long dead as a shining example of the kind of

cloquence that reemr to be entircly miuing in thir country today; color, fire, thrillr, to rtir the hcart and etimulrte the mind. Such oratory today might do much to dircntangle ur from thc organized confurion that reignr about ur. It might not, like Thcreue, providc the cluc to lcad ue from the labyrinth, but it would help. Not morc Roolcveln to read into the radio in melodiout toneg the worde of other men, but thrilling mesrage-carriers, with hearts and minds and tongues combined by the hand of God to give them

When Marc Anthony, Rome'8 great Triumvir who conquered Carthage, was in turn overthrown by Octavius Caesar, he gloried, dying, that he "had conquered as a Roman and was by a Roman nobly conquered." His dying solace was understandable. This nation today and ite gallant sons who are going out to fight the good fight, need inspiration, enthusiasm for what lies ahead; the feelipg that those who die will die nobly for a great cause. Our boys need to be more than drafted-they need to be inspired, enthused concerning their job. Men fight best in a cause they consider holy. Our whole attitude in this war is too casual. We must do something about it.

During World War Two, Rooeevclt etories appeared in abundance. A very large proportion of all the stories of that war were aimed at the then President.

Today there are Truman stories in abundance. The letter writing of the chief executive precipitated an avalanche of critical laugh-getters, and they continue in considerable volume. Here are some of the more recent and kindlier ones:

Mrs. Claire Boothe Luce said in a recent address that she asked a prominent Democrat what he thought of Truman. He replied that Truman was his second choice for President. She asked who his first choice was, and he said: ..ANYBODY.''

Tests Reveql Cedqr Shingle Superiority

"These wind tunnel tests, made under controlled conditions simulating those actually experienced in normal constluction and use, provide scientiflc support to the excellent record ol wind resistance which has been established over many years by cedar shingle rools in this courrtry," said \tr. W. Woodbridge, Secretary-Manager of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, "Large areas of the United States, particularly the Middle West, the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf Coast regions, periodically are visited by windstorms of considerable intensity. Cedar shingle rools invariably weather these storms in excellent shape."

Wind tunnel's hurricone velocity foils to dislodge shingles

A wind velocity of 136 miles per hour, greater than that experienced in any general windstorm, failed to disturb or effect in any way a roof panel of red cedar shingles in recent wind-tunnel tests at'the University of Wichita in Wichita, Kansas, it has been revealed by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau.

Purpose of the tests, acording to the Bureau Secretary-Manager, W. W. Woodbridge, was to determine the actual intensity of wind required to blow off cedar shingles from a typically-constructed roof.

AFTER THE BIG BLOW

"But instead of revealing the amount of hurricane force which is required to cause failure in a cedar shingle roof, the panels successfully resisted the maximum wind velocity which the University of Wichita's wind tunnel could generat+namely, 136 miles per hour. So we still don't know the collapse point, but we do know that it is greater than 136 miles per hour."

The University of Wichita's wind tunnel, normally used for aeronautical research, is a return-flow atmospheric type tunnel with a test section seven feet high and ten feet wide. In this test section, a cedar shingle rooffng panel, slightly larger than five feet by eight feet in size, was installed at a 30-degree angle to simulate normal pitched roof construction.

Janrary Housing Starts 87,OOO Units

Washington, D.C., Feb. l8-Homebuilding continued at a brisk pace in January, with 87,000 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units started, according to preliminary estimates of the Labor l)epartment's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Last month's housing starts figure, while 8 per cent below that for December, was at an all-time high for the month of January.

The December-January decline was due entirely to a drop in public housing. Privately owned new housing starts rose by 5 per cent. Almost 84,000 units were put under construction by private builders last month, exceeding by 8 per cent the previous January high set in 1950.

The Bureau pointed out that many builders still have a large backlog of commitments for housing that can be sold under pre-Regulation X credit terms. The unseasonaily large volume of private housing started may also be partly explained by considerable anticipatory building and buying in housing as in other fields, partly in an effort to beai the March 1 deadline prohibiting the use of certain materials in civilian production, and partly due to uneasiness about further materials restrictions and more drastic credit curbs. Consequently, prospective buyers who were planning to purchase new homes at some future time may now be com_ ing into the housing market vvith sufficient cash to meet Regulation X requirements.

Telegraphic reports of building permits issued during January in principal cities of the country indicate that housing starts for February also may be at an unseasonally high level. Two thirds of the reporting cities showed an in_ crease from December in the number of dwelling units authorized.

Western Pine Association Nameg New Pregident--Expandg Production

San Francisco, Feb. Z3-Naming Walter S. Johnson of San Francisco as their new president, more than 300 members of the Western Pine Association concluded their annual two-day meeting here today after approving :ltt expanded promotion program, enlarging'their forestry staff, recommending measures to speed car rlrovements, undcrtaking a study of moulding Patlern standardization an<l protesting National l)roduction authority practices reducing availability of spare parts to the industry.

The meeting set a new record for attendance. Mr. Jolrnson, president of the American Box Corporation, rvas elccted to succeed E. C. Olson, head of the E. C. Olson I.ttmbcr Conrpany of Spokane, who had served two terms. I{eclected were vice presidents U. R. Armstrong, vice presiclent of Hallack and Howard Lumber Coml>an.v. Cascade, Idaho, and M R. I'restridge, president of the M. lt' I'restridgc Lumber Conrpany, Alamogordo, N. M. and treasurer C. T. Gray, head <:f the Stockton Rox Company, Stockt<tn, Calif'

W, E. Griffee, of l)ortland, assistant secretary-manager of the Association, addressed the convention on tlte "l'rospective Lumber Demand in 1951." This talk is reproduced in iull elsewhere in this issue. '

The lumbermen also heard addresses by E' C. Olson, Association president; S. V. Fullaway, Jr. of Portland, secretary-manager; Richard A. Colgan, Jr., executive vicepresident of the National l-umber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D. C., and Charles A. Gillett, managing director of the Arnerican Forest ltr<lducts Industries, Inc., Washington

Mr. Olson said that a major ol>jective of the lumller inclustry this year rvill be to secttre a speed-up in federal Programs covering access roads, timber availallility and accelcrated s:rles procedures in event of rvar'

"The indu-'tr1'," he said, "cannot stancl another tlraitr otl its private l:oldings comparallle rvith that of the last u'ar' u'hen nrore than 70 per cent of Western I'ine production czrme fronr private timber, u'hile rnore than 70 per cent of the availal;lt timbcr in our l2-state \\Iestern Pine region is orvned by the government."

Striking at advocates of socialized medicine, all-pol'erful river valley authorities and ttther Progranls of :r rvelfare st:rte, N{r. liullau'ay rvarne<l that, u'hilc mobilization for possible rvat requires regulati<tn, the American 1>ublic must grrard against unnecessary controls 1>r<rmoted by social planners under the guise of an emrgency.

"Certainlv there r'vas never a tinre lvhen it'lvas tlrorc important {or management to do its utmost to keep thc light of free enterprise burning brightly," he said. "Yotl must do a selling job among your en.rployes and others in yorrr commr-rnities. You must put aside self-interest and give sincere support-not lip service-to government econon1y. The cluestion is not rvl.rether you have a job to dcr but rather, rvhat are you going to do about it?"

"The managers of American business must clo more than explain tl.re advantages of the free enterprise svstem. They r.nust demonstrate bv actions-not words-that it is best

for the lverage citizen. As one student of this subject puts it, they must be alert to the responsibility for their emptoyes'economic security, fair treatment, self-respect on the job and advancentent possibilities and to their own active participation irr the life and development of their communities."

Mr. Colgan rcported on national defense developments in the lumber field and Mr. Gillett reviewed the 1950 record of AFI'I, the tumber industry's operating arm in promoting 'l'ree liarnrs ancl public liaison organization in forestry afi airs.

Mcngcl Mdca Million Doon in 1950 Charlcr E. Kcndall Continuing

"A million is a lot of anything." On JanuatY l, 1950, when the Plywood Divisiorr of The Mengel Company set out to build 1,000,000 of its famous Mengel Flush Doors in one year, management was well aware that it was thinking in terms of over 176,000; 000 feet of vene'ers, 12,750,000 board feet of lum' ber, and even of 3,500,000 pounds of water-resistant glues. Despite the magnitude of the job, however, the million-door goal was set.

Less than twelve months later, the "millionth in 1950" was produced, and the vear ended with a substantial margin to spare.

The photo above shows A. L. Entwistle, Mengel vice president (center) and R. Fay Kulmer, door department sales manager (right), receiving the millionth Mengel door produced during 1950, from Thomas Bopp, plywood division production manager (left).

The average modern house uses froul 7,500 to board feet of lumber.

Prorpective Lumber Demand jot 1951

Bv \fl. E. Grilfee

Annuol Meeting, \flestern Pine Associotion, Son Frdncisco, Februdry 93

In normal years the volunre of resiclential c<lnstruction and the demand for our lumber follow pretty closely the trend of general industrial activity. Certainly that won't be true of resi<lential construction this year and, to a lesser extent. it probably won't be true of luntber tlemand either.

It is generally predicted that the physical volumc of industrial production will be about the same in the first half of this year as last but that production in the last six rnonths ma.y be up 3 to 5 percent' The ad.dition of rvomen and older men to the labor force, and sonre lengthening of the work week, should tend to boost production but decreased efticiency and rvithdrawal of yotlnger men for thc armed services will largely offset such an increase. Alsrr the large number of people who will be administering controls will have to come from the potential labor forcc. Some time will be lost figuring horv to use sttbstitute nraterials, living under controls <lr waiting for materials trr be made available. The net result is that incrcases ilt overall output won't come easily.

Three months ago government agencies were llredicting that new housing starts this year would be down at lcast a half from 1950. Some of the speculative buil<lers rvho were trying to get Regulation X modifietl were declarirrg that the slump would be even worse. Recent predictiorrs, however, arc nlore encouraging.

It seems there was an unexpectedly large llacklog of 40C,000 drvelling ttnit loan commitments rvhen llegul:rtiorr X went into effect. This figtrre etluals nearly 30 percent of last year's tremendotts total of 1,395,000 housing starts. It rvill go a long rvay tou'ar<l continuing the "n<lthing tlon'n" financing for all the homes speculative l>uilders itrc ablc to crect between norv and fall.

Another alr.nost certain stitrrultts to resider.rtial crttrstrttction is Senator Maybank's $3 billion defense housing lrill the Administration is promoting. It is practically stlre to be persse<l. Likely, the NPA u'ill give housing projects arpproved urder this proposed lau' the necessarv prioritv assistance to secure hardu'are, plumlling and other sc:Irc(r items.

Still a thild factor which promotes more residential building this yerrr is the mounting inflation n'hich most ollsel'vers expcct to corrtinue. This is a strong incentive for prospective home or"''ners to "btty now" or to "build n(ttr'," in spite of rhe present high prices.

Aside fro:r.. the credit restrictions imposed by Regulatinr.r X. the principal brake on residential construction this year will be the difficulty in securing materials, particularlv those made of metal. The pinch hasn't been felt too much yet but it certainly rvill be by early summer an<l rvill get progressively worse.

Evidently tl.rere has been a lot of hoarding of n.retal products needed for horne construction. Despite the general impression that production of hardu'are and plun.rbing alreerdy l.ras been sharply curtailed, some leading proclttcers

in that field are predicting first-<luarter voltttrre larger than last ycar's. If this were not true, it is hard to understand why builders started about 95,000 new non-farm housing tunits in l)ccember. 'l'his figure is an all-time high for the month, is 10,000 units above the Novenrber total and is far above tlre 78,300 units started in l)ecerrrber 1949.

With thc governrrrent calling the tune on construction, there is muclr uncertainty as to the total number of hottsing units to be started this year. However, most analysts, including F. W. Dodge Corporation, are predicting that there rvill be about 850,000 non-farm starts. This total w()uld be down 39 percent from the 1950 record. Still it woukl be only 17 percent llehind 1949, which set a record until 1950 came along. In considering this rather encouraging pre<lir:tion it should be renrenrllered that housing construction will be best early in the year and may be tapering ofi rather rapidly by the tim6 air-dryirtg mills begin to get this vear's cut in shipping condition.

On other types ol construction, which don't interest tts as rrruch as residential, the Dodge Corporation estimates that physical volume of construction of manufacturing plrrnts rvill l,.e up 57 percent but nearly all other classes off cnough so the non-resiclential total will be dorvn 3 percent. 'fheir estinrate is that the grand total of all construction u'ill be dorvtr 23 percent from last year.

lfhe indristriaI consunrption of <lur lumber this year should lle n'ell maintained, whether for civilian or military production. Any increase in use for militarl. construction or for packaging of overseas shipments should offset at lc:Lst a llart of the dccrease in demand for residential const ructi<ln.

\lilitary tien.rand for lun.rber isn't clinrbillg as fast as :rnticipaterl. Corps of Engineers purchases rvere abtlut 700 nrilliorr fect in the last half of 1950 and are expectecl trr anlourlt to only 800 million in the first half of this year. If rve estimrtte indirect military demand at trvice the <lirect purchases, the total is only a 5 billion feet a year rate or around 15 percent of the industry's otttput. This figure is by no merlns all nerv lrusiness as there u'its cot.rsiderable nrilitary buf ing in 1950. Some plants no\\' usirrg lumber tri package military supplies and e<luipment \\'ere tlsing ncarly irs much lumber to pack civilian production last year. Thirtv to 35 percent of the 'tvooden box production l1o\\r goes t<:, defense use.

'Ihc den.ran<1 for our industry's products so far tl.ris vear' has held up surprisingly rvell in spite of severe rvinter u'eather ir.r much of the consuming territorr'. Year-to-date frgures on shipments by the Barometer group of mills are a little l-,ehirrd last yeal but not because the mills have much Iumber on hand they can't move at satisfactory prices. L.il<ely the : eduction in shipments is because the industry sturted 1951 rvith stocks 188 million below a year ago.

\Ve have no late figures upon the extent to which this u'iuter's shipments have gone to rebuild retailers' sto'cks, (Contlnued on Page 43)

Arkanscs Moaquitoee

Therc's an old ilory that nevei wearo out about the guy from Arkansas who went to Alagka to try the firhing' ifiit"tt hc got there he waa told by thc guides that he had come at the wrong tceton; the mosquitoes were so bad that nobody could fish.

But the guy from Arkansas laughed at such foolishness; said he'd fiahed in Arkansas when t}e mosguitocs wcre at their worst, and that there were no mosquitoes on earth aa deadly ag thc ones in his home state. So, he said, he was going fishing in spite of the Alaska mosquitoes' One of the g,tia"t offired to bet him twenty dollars he couldn't stand the mosquitoes for an hour, unless entirely covered by nets, and with the nets he couldn't fish' The guy took the bet, and went out into the mountain stream dressed in regulation fishing clothes, and started fishing, while the guide who had made the bet, watched him from the shore' covered up with mosquito nets'

Thougtr- millions of mosquitoes attacked the man from Arkansis, he showed no signs of discomfort, and kept on fishing. When the guide looked at his watch and saw that in five more minutes he would lose his bet, he got mad as an Esquimo could get, and pulling out a long hunting knife, he jabbed it into the Arkansan's back.

But the tough guy from Arkansas never stopP€d fishing. He shottted: "That last one was from Arkansas ! I can tell 'em every time !"

Use Force

The old woman in Scotland insisted she was dying and refused to take any nourishment. The family got in a nurse to try and coax her to take food and medicine' She .refused both. Said the nurse:

"Take some beef broth."

"Na," said the old woman' '"Take some hot milk."

'"Na," said the old woman.

"How about a glass of toddY?"

"Ay.," said the invalid. "Make it strong, and make me take it !"

A Rolling Stone

There's sunshine in the heart of me, My blood sings in the breeze;

The mountains are a Part of me, I'm fellow to the breeze.

Then every star shall sing to me, Its song of libertY;

And every morn shall bring to me, Its mandate to be free.

In every throbbing vein of me, I'll feel the vast earth-call;

O body, heart, and brain of me, Praise Him who made it all ! -Robert Service.

Brotherhood

(Thc following, by George D. Herron, is a pricelea: bit of philosophy, fit to adorn any scrapbook')

We have ialked much of thc brotherhood to come; but brothcrhood has alwayr bcen the fact of our life, long before it became a modern and insipid sentiment'

We have been brothers in slavcry and torment' brothers in ignorance and perdition, brothers in digcase and war and wan-=t, brothers in prostitution and hypocrisy' What happens to one of us, happens sooner or later to all; we have "lr""y" been inescapably involved in a common destiny' The world conetantly tends to the level of the downmost man in it; and that downmoet man is the world's real ruler' hugging it close to his bosom, dragging it down to his death. You do not think so, but it is true, and it ought to be true.

For if there were some way by which some of us could get free apart from others, if there were some way by which Jome of us could have heaven while others had hell, if there were some way by which part of the world could escape someformoftheblightandperilandmiseryofdisinterested labor, then would our world indeed be lost and damned; but since men have never been able to separate themselves from one another's woes and wrongs, since history is fairly stricken with the lesson that we cannot escape brotherhood of some kind, since the whole of life is teaching us that we are hourly choosing between brotherhood in suffering and brotherhood in good, it remains for us to choose the brotherhood of a cooperative world with all its fruits theleof-the fruits of love and liberty'

The Kingdom

Said Friedrich Froebel: "Children are much nearer the inner truth of things than we are, for when their instincts are not perverted by the superfine wisdom of their elders' they givl themselves up to a full, vigorous activity' Theirs is the kingd.om of heaven."

Society

If you wish to appear agreeable in society you must consent io be taugtit many things which you know already' -Lavater.

Chicken crnd Egg

The question which came first, the chicken or the egg' is settlei in Genesis, I:21, which reads: "And God created great whales, and every living c,reature that movetft' which ihe *ate.s brought foith abundantly, after their kind' and every winged fowl after his kind; and God saw that it *as"goodl" Chickens are winged fowls' therefore the chicken came first'

Lumber Demand br 1951

but undoubi.edly some of them have. In vierv of the firnr market, the certainty of further inflation and retailers' vivid recollections of how hard it was to get lumber during World War II, it rvould be surprising if some of our ,"..nt .hip_ ments hadn't been going into inventory. These increased stocks likely u'on't be a problem if new housing starts hold up rveli into the spring but if the government should further tighten down on home building the retailers might cut their buying even more, in order to reduce stocks as they did in the fall of 1948 and the spring of 1949.

While thcre seems no doubt that volume u,ill be dorvn from last year, the supply may be expected to shrink some too. A ceiling price schedule that holds down prices at all will make ir tough for mills now paying peak prices for Federal stumpage. Supplies and repairs will be harder to get. Much Ligher taxes are reducing the incentive to lvear out equipm.-.nt, deplete stumpage and pay overtime in order to get maximum production unless the government really needs it. Tlrtrs in spite of lorver volumes, the supply-demand situation may continue to be rather favorable for producers. Still, with so nlany uncertainties in the picture, the situ_ ation isn't one for the blind optimism that was perfectly safe at this time last year.

The Bruce Doozit, a longhandled cleaning, waxing, polishing device for hardwood and linoleum floors, has been redesigned and is now backed by a five-year guarantee. Chief improvements are a more streamlined appearance and sturdier co nst ruction through the use of more metal and the elimination of a koroseal band around the base. The new model also holds the changeable pads more securely.

The old model is now in use in more than a million homes. The Doozit is designed for use with Bruce Floor Cleaner and Bruce waxes and is sold nationally.

Annual Report Stresses lmportance Of Forest Industries to America

Washington, D.C.-"All Americans share a common in_ terest as well as a common pride in the forest resources of their country." In fact, says American Forest products rndustries in its annual report for 1950 rereased. this week, "One hund.red and fifty million Americans look to the forest industries of the united states for wood and wood products essential to modern living."

Following the theme of community dependence on forests and the industries that harvest and process their wood crops, AFPI's annual report tells the step-by-step story of its activities in the cause of forest protection -and wise woodland management.

The non-profit, non-political organization, that coordi_ nates the national Keep Green and Tree Farm programs, cites the production record of Ameri,ca's business-managed forests. The commercial forests of the United States, ihe AFPI report states, "supply 44 per cent of the world,s lumber, 58 per cent of its plywood and 43 per cent of its wood pulp."

The two-color, 16-page report gives detailed information

The report also gives a state-by-state breakdown of schoois that are using AFPI materials in their classrooms and reference libraries.

American Forest Products fndustries is supported by a majority of the wood dependent industries of the Uniied Stdtes. rts 2l-member board of trustees includes leaders of the pulp and paper, lumber and plywood industries. Col. William B. Greeley, of Seattle, Wash., is chairman of the board and N. F. McGorvin of Chapman, Ala., is president. Charles A. Gillett, as managing director, is in charge of the organization's headquarters in Washington, D.C. f.i"ta offices are maintained in Portland, Ore.; Milwaukee, Wis.; New O_rleans, La.; Boston, Mass.; and New york City.

Widespread interest atways attaches to the building of a church.

There is a dignity, a beauty and a symbolic permanence in a house of worship that appeals alnrost as unfailingly to thc non-believer as to the believer.

Churches the'world over stand as universal monuments to the aspiration born in a man with the dawn of civilization. They are a thing apart from ordinary structttres'

Of particlrlar concern, thcrefore, to religiotrs ltierarchies, church governing ltoards, and building committees, no less llratt to architects, engineers an<l contractors will be the rrcs' pictorial llrxrklet "Churches," just ptrblished'

As to<lay's church btrilding concept cxpands beyond the singlc house of worship to include auxiliary facilities that will acconrmoclate the constantly broadening scope of religi<lus activities, there io a great and grorving neecl for

in combining new elements of practical utility with the old.

The nerv booklet "Churches" presents elorlttent testimony' in a series of it4 illustrations, to the efficiency, economy, and graceful beauty which may be attained by the use of three llractical and proved methods of wood construction'

Foremost among these is glued laminated wood construction. I')xposed glued laminated wood arches afford the desired architectural lleauty and stttrdy strnctural perfort'nancc that is ideal for today's churches'

The I-antella system is another type of lvrlod construction that requires no ceiling coverage cluc to thc decorative elTect of the Lamellas themselves' This is more widely tused for recreational buildings and other church assembly places than'for the sanctuary proper.

The Teco connector system is a third construction method that is popular with architects for smaller churches. Both exposed and concealed roof construction is possible with trussed rafters, triangttlar, scissors, and cambered Fink trusses.

The booklet also contains specifications for roof construction using Teco engineering methods, and a list of Timber Roof Truss Fabricators in the United States'

It is free upon request to the Timber Engineering Company, 1319 Eighteenth Street, Northrn'est, \\rashington 6, D. C.
