Seattle, Washington, March 9, L943--:The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in February (4 weeks) was 126,505,000 board feet, or 83.3 per cent of 1939-1942 average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its survey of the industry. Orders averaged l3z,Dl,W board feet; shipments, t34,D2,m. Weekly averages for January were: Production, 105,869,000 bbard feet (69.7 per cent of the 1939-1942 average) ; orders, 118,27 6,ffiO ; shipments, I16,ffi,m.

The West Coast lumber industry in February staged a remarkable comeback from the midwinter production low. Average weekly production for the month was 20 per cent over the January average, due to a combination of hard work and exceptionally clear, dry days. In the last week of February production climbed to 70 per cent of the September-October, 1942, level. At the rate logs are now rolling in, this upswing is expected to continue.

Government demands for West Coast lumber continue unabated. Tremendous quantities of box and crating lumber are required. No letup in the heavy war demand for ship framing and decking, ponton lumber and other specialty items, is in sight. The War Production Board is asking for West Coast lumber production in 1943 to exceed last year's output. At the end of February the industry was 400 million feet behind. The blockade of snow was broken but there is yet a heavy manpower shortage of 30 per cent in the woods and 10 per cent

in the mills. The industry is with the 1942 prodaction, and to driving on, to catch uP pass it.

Portland, March 26.-Pine lumber orders were up more than 19,000,000 board feet last week from the previous week, the Western Pine Association reported today. Shipments and production also made gains.

Orders for the week ending March 20 totaled 89,632,400 board feet as compared with 70,260,000 for the previous week and 70,350,000 for the corresponding week last year; shipments 64,860,000, 63,938,000 and 76,886,000 i production 55,922,m, 53,935,000 and 63,712,ffiO.

The Southern Pine Association for March 13 gave orders as29,297,040 feet, 000 feet, and production25,X)5,000 feet. the end of the week totaled 159,466,000

the week ended shipments 28,301,Orders on hand at feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended March 6 reported orders as 95,729,000 feet, shipments 103,346,000 feet, and production 101,501,000 feet.

For the week ended March 13 orders were reported as 103,291,000 feet, shipments 106,558,000 feet, and production 106,904,00O feet.

Northern Retailers Hold \(/ar Conlerence

The retail lumber industry War Conference, held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on Saturday, March 27,by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, was a distinct success. There was a large attendance of retailers, representative of all districts of Northern California, wholesalers, and suppliers.

A meeting of the board of directors was held at B:@ a.m.

President Ray Clotfelter presided at the morning session. Secretary B. B. Barber welcomed the large gathering and outlined briefly the manner in which the program would be conducted.

D. C. McGinness, Director of FHA, San Francisco, made the keynote address, stressing the necessity for each individual to support the war effort. He mentioned the cordial relations which have prevailed between his office and Northern California retailers, and stated his belief that the lumber business will be good in the postwar period as a result of the huge backlog of housing requirements that will develop.

Lewis A. Godard, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, was moderator for the Government regulations panel. Many questions on the various regulations were asked by the moderator and answered by James A. Whiteside, regional housing specialist, War Production Board; Alfred T. Twigg, price specialist, Office of P.rice Administration, and J. Roy Willhide, district manager, Of6ce of Defense Transportation.

W. C. Bell, managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, presided at the afternoon session, and was also moderator for the commodities and merchandising panel.

W. W. Anderson, Anderson Lumber Co., Ogden, IJtah, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, addressed the conference on "What's Doing in Washington." He assured the retailers that they have a good in-. vestment in the office of the N. R. L. D. A. in Washington, and that the Association is doing excellent work for the retail lumber industry. He told of the work of the various committees and particularly of the one of which Paul Hallingby and W. C. Bell are members, that is working with the OPA, and said he hoped a retail price ceiling will be worked out. In conclusion he emphasized the necessity for doing research work in preparation for the postwar period.

The merchandising panel proved to be interesting and instructive, with questions asked and answers given on many subjects of vital interest to all retailers.

The panel consisted of James E. Mackie, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, San Francisco; Arthur W. Priaulx, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle; Bernard L. Johnson, American Builder, Seattle, and E. P. Hoener,'Western Building, Portland.

A question regarding the time when retailers may expect to be able to get more lumber brought the answer that

possibly after July 1 demand for Douglas Fir lumber for war uses will slacken and some relief will be obtained, while the demand for California Pine for war needs shows no sign of lessening.

"How much of a factor will the prefabricated home be from now on ?" was answered by opinions that while great efforts will be made by concerns in the prefabricating business, this competition will only affect business in the extreme low brackets, and that more than ever home builders will want to express their individuality in their homes.

"Where can we get shingles?" was answered by the statement that today's production of Cedar shingles is only 56 per cent of normal as the result of log shortage, and that there is an increase in the production of Cedar lumber.

A question about the advisability of retail advertising in newspapers drew the emphatic answer that institutional advertising by the retail dealer is more necessary now than ever; that it is most important to create by advertising the idea that the retail yard is a friendly and reliable source for information on all building matters, also to keep the public informed that it is not unpatriotic to repair and maintain their homes.

A question on the subject of paint sales brought the reply that while many have taken advantage of the increased opportunities for selling paint, many others have not done so, and it was suggested that in view of proposed further limitation of the manufacture of paint, dealers should lose no time in making arrangements with a manufacturer for supplies.

"'What are the future prospects of the lumber retailer ?" This was replied to with the statement that the retailer has a definite place in providing service to the consumer, and that his prospects are good in the period following the war.

Many other questions were answered and the big audience showed its appreciation of this feature by hearty applause for the members of the panel.

Mr. Bell gave a brief talk on "Merchandising." The time is here for thinking about the future, he said, and there is an obligation on every retailer to help offset the plans of some men to take away a part of their business.

TACOMA LUMBER SALES

is a very important part of our work- in the midst of intense activity and endless detail involved in supplying the exacting demands for high grade materials for the war effort.

It is our belief, based on sound deduction and observation, that the retail lumber dealer will be much more in the picture in the future, in the merchandising of hardwoods to the customer.

Washington said: " . remember that you are free, fighting for the blessings of Liberty; that slavery will be your portion and that of your posterity if you do not acquit yourselves like men"

Talk about things that are getting scarce, and why. The U. S. Quartermaster's Department is reported on good authority to have purchased 750,000 pairs of dice for the soldiers. Yes, friends, there are various ways of carrying the war to the people of foreign lands. No doubt those dice are for educational purposes, only, and who knows how many benighted heathen in Africa and other foreign lands may be given a course of instructions in the use of Mississippi Marbles.

Which incites me to tell again what I think is far and away the best story of the present war. This tough soldier is shooting craps with a gang of like kind and caliber. The dice are his. He is down on his knees. His money is all covered. His point is nine. And he makes it the hard way -THREE TREYS. If that doesn't hit your funny bone, then you won't be able to understand the reason for those 75o,ooo pairs of dice.

Best sales story I've heard lately: A real estate agent is showing a house and lot to a couple of prospective buyers, and he says maybe the place won't suit them in one way, the soil in the yard is so very fertile that the basement won't be big enough to hold the foodstuffs they can raise. ***

Speaking of gardening. The American people seem particularly interested in two important rnatters right now; raising chickens, or raising a Victory Garden. Might I suggest that here is where a certain amount of cooperation and coordination would come in very handy. Before you make up your mind which you are going in for, find out about your next door neighbors. Because if you should pl.ant a garden and they should go in for chickens, it Eight be bad for your garden- and your temper. Find out Grst, and coordinate your efforts. No charge for this advice.

A gang of soldiers are talking about brave service men. One of them said the nerviest man he had known in the service was Jim Becker, who, although a man of modest size, walked right up and smacked a big, tough Top-Sergeant right in the nose. Another soldier spoke up: "I'd like to meet a man with that much nerve." The first one said: "You can't meet him, pal; it's too much trouble to DIG HIM UP." ***

Ttemistocles, the Athenian, used to boast that he "could tell you how to make a city grow." I read a story recently that could be used for that purpose, it's so doggoned good. Reader's Digest tells about a visitor to Richmond, Virginia, who sat down to breakfast in the leading hotel his first morning there, and asked the grizzled old colored waiter what folks mostly ate for breakfast in Richmond. The old man said: "Judge, folks eats jes' 'bout de same vittles here as dey does othah places. De only diffunce is, befo' dey eats dey alutuz says: 'Thank Gawd, I'm in Richmond."' I think that story is so good that the Richmond Chamber of Cornmerce ought to be able to build a campaign around it that would double the population of the city. No foolin'.

A SPECIAL SUGGESTION: Turn to the page of "FUN-FACTS-FILOSOPHY" elsewhere in this issue and read a tribute to Abraham Lincoln you will find there. It was written by a famous old-time Southern Editor, and is so inspiring it belongs in every scrapbook. You'll thank me for reminding you.

Read a two line want ad in a Southern newspaper the othei day that stopped me cold. It simply said: "Wanted, to trade squirrel dog for coon dog." To me there is pathos in that advertisement. That guy simply wanted a dog which, in these days of meat shortages, would bring in bigger game. A guy can starve to death on anything as small as squirrels.

The proposed pay check deduction that has been agreed upon by a Congressional committee would take 20o/o at the source from every pay check. The effect is certain-

not problematical. It would simply mean that one-fifth of all t}re creditors in America would come up short.

Until the Ruml plan came along, not even the dreamiesteyed member of the Income Tax Department had thought of collecting two years' income taxes in one year. Ruml just gave them the idea, and they cut loose. Today the Ruml plan is in the same fix as the fox who was being chased by a pack of hounds, when, at a corner, a beautiful young female hound joined the pack and the chase. Inside of a mile the fox was running fifth.

Statistics are sometimes interesting. For instance, I read where some statistician says that there are only onetenth as many comediennes as there are comedians. And I would like to add-from the heart-that only onetenth of those who think they are comedians-ARE. ***

We call it the Pacific Ocean, and pacific means peaceful. Yet a kid I know in the U. S. Navy tells me his ship rode through a storm in that ocean in which the waves were actually sixty feet high. "What did you boys do?" I asked him. "Said our prayers," said the sailor. "What the Hell else could we do?" ***

Eddie Rickenbacker has found out in a very short time that a safe way to remain a national hero in this country is never to utter an honest opinion, never be suspected of political ambitions, never step on the toes of the racketeers.

Who invented that deadliest piece of war explosive, the torpedo? One naval expert says it was Robert Whitehead, an English engineer, and that without the torpedo the submarine menace would not be one. True as to the latter part. But there are those who insist that the first torpedo was invented by no other than that great American in. ventor, Robert Fulton, who likewise invented the steamboat. It is stated that in the year 18fi), Fulton created a torpedo for Napoleon, and that one of these Fulton torpedoes was used by the French to blow up a ship in the harbor of Brest. That was 69 years before Whitehead's torpedo came out.

Much discussion, mostly political, about Stalin's attitude toward religion. The fact that he recently sent a frienclly message to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church roused suspicion - that he is softening in his attitude toward organized religion. However, I read on good authority that before the Commtnists took charge

there were 300 churches in Moscow, and now there are only 20, very quiet and unostentatious ones, attended mostly by elderly people. Such figures make strong arguments.

J. P. Morgan the second died the other day. He was a strong, conservative, honorable, useful man. He was about the last of a famous type of old-time financiers. His father belonged to an older school of American finance, and was in his time berated and be-damned like most other rich men of that era. When he died he left a peculiar will that was widely published. He said, in effect, that he returned his soul to the Savior who gave it, and all his worldly wealth to his son, John. Clarence Darrow, then in the zenith of his career as defender of the underdog and bitter critic of the rich and powerful, made a speech about that time, and mentioned the Morgan will. "That was one time," observed Darrow, "when the Savior got all the worst of a trade." ***

Peace, as well as war, takes a terrific human toll. Dependable figures regarding violent deaths show that between Pearl Harbor and the time we invaded France, accidents caused six times as many American deaths as the war effort. And many of those who died accidentally at home were men who had gone through months of foreign warfare, and returned unharmed, only to meet their fate under conditions of no apparent danger. ***

It is too early to tell the dramatic story of how this nation met the fifteenth of March emergency of income tax paying. But we know from the newspapers that all over the country long lines of people jammed redemption windows, selling their war stamps and bonds to get money to pay their first income tax installment. That there IS a dramatic story to follow that date, you can be very sure.

Because millions were not prepared for it, and when the time finally arrived they either dodged the issue, or went out to borrow money. Money lenders everywhere did a gigantic business. ***

ft is normal that a man should wonder what the situation with many millions of people really is. In January the Victory Tax came along. There were no loud explosions to mark its starting. Yet I doubt if the average wage-earner has even yet fully discovered what a potent tax deduction FM PER CENT GROSS really is. Most people do not understand that the difference between NET and GROSS is the difference between daylight and darkness, and that that is particularly true with regard to income taxes. A married man with a couple of kids, making two thousand a year, thumbs his nose at the reguiar income tax. But he can't laugh off trhat one hundred bucks cash that is taken out of his pay envelope or check by the Victory Tax. What has that potent deduction done to bond buying by small income folks? Plenty, I have no doubt. Ah, Mr. Gross! You're going to be a very unpopular man when people generally find out how big you are. When Senator George quietly suggested a GROSS tax, he knew very well that what sounded like David was really Goliath.

And now the House Committee in Washington has okayed and sent to the House a proposal to deduct TWENTY PER CENT from the payrolls of the nation by way of a pay-as-you-go income tax. There's one that will knock your back teeth loose. To people of large income it will be no hardship or injustice. But to the wage and small salary earner it wiU be a shock. Already the newspaper editors are telling their readers what a tough row that would be to hoe. Twenty bucks deduction out of every hundred of wages will make you wonder what you did with your last year's income. The thing of it is

that very, very few wage and small salary earners will have anthing like twenty per cent income tax to pay altet they take out all their legal deductions, and the Treasury will have to hire a lot of new bookkeepers and check writers to send refunds back to the small income fry, if they pass that deduction rule.

*rl.*

And into the lap of Congress has gone the "cradle-tograve" social security program from Uncle Delano's future planning committee. Both houses of Congress have already responded by refusing any further appropriations for that committee. The proposal certainly shows that anyone who thinks there is anything that can't happen here, is plain nuts. This thing calls for huge social security distribution, for government partnership and government control of business, from worker participation in business management, and a lot of other things that made every employer and business man groan when he read them. The thing is a strange mixture of socialiscrr and various other foreign whimsies. Of course, it isn't honest. It isn't what it pretends to be. It is political in all its implications. And remember, our present social security program is strictly a misnomer. We have accumulated right now some SEVEN BILLION dollars all taken from employes and employers, very little of which has ever been used for

the purposes for which it was extracted. Neither is the SEVEN BILLION there; just Treasury IOU'S. And now they propose another firnd many times that large. Get into your watch-towers, you Americans !

Governor Coke Stevenson, of Texas, went on the air on the March of Time program the other night to warn Americans of the peril of centralized bureaucratic government, and the fallacy of a government of men and man's caprice, rather than the government of laws that was founded by the fathers. Watch this man Stevenson, friends. He is as solid an American as lives, a splendid lawyer, a man who loves the Constitution of the United States better than his own life, and who looks with suspicion and condemnation upon any effort to twist, stretch, or otherwise change it to fit the private opinions or isms of any man or group. You may hear much of him in the next few ye:rrs. We will have great need of such LincolnJike citizens.

They Trussed Him Into the Army

A fellow who had rvorn a truss for ten years was flatly rejected by the army medical examiners. Later in the day he told a pal about it, and his pal asked for the loan of the truss so that he could wear it for his physical exam for the draft. He got it. When the doctor looked him over and saw the truss, he asked how long the fellow had worn it. He said ten years. The Doc said "Okay, put on your

clothes." The young fellow hustled his clothes on, certain that he would be turned loose at once, when to his surprise the Doctor handed him an N. E. rating.

"Doc," said the would-be draft dodger, "what does this N. E. rating mean?"

"It means immediate duty in the Near East," said the Doctor. "Any so-and-so that can wear that truss upside down for ten years is stout enough to ride a camel."

Lumber Needs

Lumber requirements for new construction in U. S. will total approximately 11 billion board feet in 1943, according to WPB. Estimate includes lumber required in major alterations and additions but does not include lumber requirements for m'aintenance and repairs, for machinery and equipment or for boxing and crating for war and civilian supplies. It is estimated that an additional 1,77O million board feet will be required for use outside U. S., but as much of this as possible will be obtained abroad. This brings total1943 lumber requirements for construction both inside U. S. and abroad to approximately 12,7ffi million board feet.

Ponderosa Pine \Toodwork Holds Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, held recently in Chicago, was highlighted by the inspiring remarks of Thomas Holden, president of F. W. Dodge Corporation, New York. Mr. Holdlen discussed at length with members of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork both present and future prospects of the building industry. Outstanding in his postwar predictions was the point that residential units in the medium and higher priced brackets should account for a substantial volume,, along with the unquestioned demand for low-priced homes. The results of the current survey by F. W. Dodge Corporation indicate the extent to which postwar construction is already being planned. The survey alone covers more than $3,000,000,000.00 of such work.

"qaofu "l

A fellow named L. J. Bates wrote a little four liner one time, that has a top place in my sales scrapbook. It reads: "While the loitering idler waits Good luck, beside his fire, The bold heart storms at fortune's gates, And conquers its desire."

This is to report with distinct satisfaction that reports from the country generally indicate that there are plenty of "bold hearts" among the retail lumber merchants who have gotten their dander up and are storming "fortune's gates" like the guy in the above poem. They have made up their minds that if it can be done they are going to stay in business for the duration, and take whatever steps and do whatever work is necessary to accomplish that purpose in a comparatively lumberless time.

I get lots of reports. Some of them tell of still more dealers who have "stomped on the fire and called the dog." But there are numerous others-a great majority in fact-who are making a gallant fight for their business lives, and getting sufficient results to keep them trying.

It would be a strange thing if it took the war to force a lot of lumber dealers to become hustling building MERCHANTS, but it might happen.

Double-time working, hustling, thinking, substituting, displaying are some of the ingredients in the spring tonic that is keeping many a lumber dealer going right now. Boy, the things they are learning to sell ! The country or rural yard has a better chance to go into the substituting business than the big city yard, but there is a chance for all. f saw a lumber yard the other day with 60 feet of blank wall on an excellent buiness street. Today that wall is being torn out and will be immeditely replaced by display windows, and there will be things in those windows to attract the public attention.

The best way to tell what a dealer may do, is to tell what dealers are doing. I called on one the other day that I want to tell you about. His yard is a modest one on a corner, on the outskirts of a city of 60,000 people. The office is on the corner. ft is not a large office, nor was it built for a fancy display place. But they have made it into both a stock and display place that impressed me as few retail lumber plants ever have. In their sheds

and yard they have some lumber, roofing, flooring, cement, sash and doors, and the other customary things you see in such places.

There was one difference. In one part of the yard there were two men building a chicken house; one that a truck can drive up and haul off. They build and sell them as fast as the men can work. In another part of the yard some more men were building a smaU, two-room dwelling, which they sell as fast as they can be completed. Needless to say neither the chicken house nor the human dwelling are anything fancy. They are simply emergency units that people are crying for, are willing and able to pay for, and which the dealer can make a satisfactory profit on.

Then I went into that office, or store, or whatever you want to call it. And when I looked around there came to my mind a remark that a very bright lumberman made just the other day in discussing these very matters. He said: "We have had to readjust our thinking and our acting. fn times like these we've all got to be able to think on our feet and step out of the way of the body blows." And that's sure as Hades what they're doing in this lumber place I'm trying to tell you about.

They have improvised every foot of space in the place, the walls are piled to the ceiling with goods, stocks are displayed on and under desks and tables all over the place leaving just room for folks to get about. Yet everything is in plain sight, everything is plainly marked, and ever;rthing is reachable. Talk about a lumber dealer substituting for the things a lumber yard ordinarily seJls, here is what I saw in that small omce-store. in the windows, on the sidewalks in front and on the side, all around, everywhere, with price placards in profusion:

Paint; wall paper; rope of all.sizes; gas stoves, various sizes and kinds; wood stoves of sheet metal and solid iron; wood stovepipe and other supplies; washboards with both wood and glass corrugated surfaces; axes of many sizes; hatchets: hammers of many kinds ; saws, all the way from a cross-cut to a keyhole saw; handles for every tool imaginable; garden tools of all kinds, big and little, for the small gardener to the big farmer; screen doors; screen door grilles; built-ins for homes; lanterns; lantern supplies, such as wicks and oil cans; electrical supplies,

a nice supply, well assorted; a general stock of hardware; a general stock of carpenter's tools and supplies; working gloves of many kinds and prices; working socks; working handkerchiefs; steel wool; light globes; cleaning fuids; clothes pins; automotive supplies and tools; coffee pots and percolators; fishing tackle; fish lines of every kind; bamboo and fancy fish poles; cord and twine of all sizes; brooms, big and litttle, cheap and expensive; mops, various kinds; a folding rack for drying clothes, all made of wood; wheelbarrows; many mirrors; wall ornaments and decorations; yard man supplies such as lawn mowers, clippers, etc.; brushes, a large and varied assortment, including paint; rulers of all sorts for carpenters and others; door mats; folding cots; folding chairs; wooden pails and buckets; rnetal pails and buckets; wooden tubs; metal tubs ; metal cans of all sizes for various sorts of containers; garbage cans in variety; water purnps; bed slats, various sizes; fence building equipment; metal mail boxes; toilet seats; household oils and lubricants; household c€rr€Dt, solder, glue; gardenhose and nozzles; auto tire and tube re, pair supplies; wooden mallets; electric flashlight lamps and supplies; mouse and rat traps; sand and emery paper; ice cream freezers; cement blocks; glass of all sorts; naptha and kerosene; wall boards; ladders; harness; wood preservers; plows; lime; cement; screen wire; screens; pipe; pipe fittings; asphalt roofing and siding;

BAXCO

asbestos roofing and siding; fence posts; stepladders; and I suppose hundreds of other items that my pencil failed to list.

Any man or woman who goes into that place and doesn't immediately buy something, is either broke or blind. I can't possibly exaggerate the appeal that dl that different stuff makes to a visitor. They stack a lot of stuff in front of the office all the time, with bright price tags on them. In these days of scarcity, the place makes a peculiar appeal. I'll frankly say that in a long life of calling on lumber yards and stores, I never saw anything like this one. They are doing a whale of a business, all the time. There isn't any war emergency as far as this outfit is concerned. They are selling worlds of stuff, and getting by in fine shape. They'll be there when the war is over.

I describe this place of business, not because I think every lumbernan can do and sell these same things, but to show that the fellow who is determined to survive can do plenty of improvising and substituting of goods and materials that will keep him going. Probably no two yards will meet their problem the same way. But if they use the same type of determination and ingenuity, each one will find its own way to business security through the emergency.

GEORGE M. BAILEY'S MARVELOUS TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN

(The following tribute to Abraham Lincoln, one that belongs in every history-Iover's scrapbook, was written on a former anniversary of the birthday of Lincoln by the late George M. Bailey, then Editor of the Houston Post. The fact that Bailey \iras one of the most famous of the old-school of dyed-in-the-wool Southern writers, rqakes this matchless tribute the more impressive. For Bailey was one of the school that believed "damn-Yankee" was one word.)

"Date, Feb. 12th, 1923. One hundred and fourteen years ago, according to the vague records of the event, Abraham Lincoln was born.

"A child of the Southern wilderness, his character was moulded and wrought in an environment of loneliness, sorrow, and privation. His heart bled from early youth until under the weeping skies of a sad April morning in '65 it was drained of its last crimson drop.

"The joys of the world never knew him, to happiness he was a stranger, life's burdens clung to him with everincreasing weight until death struck them from his tired shoulders.

"The great duties that came to him were duties of pain and sorrow, the triumphs he won were triumphs that crushed his soul with grief.

"Looking back upon his strange career, it almost seems as if the man stalked across the stage of life with a crown of thorns upon his brow, bearing a cross to his Calvary, beholding the world through a mist of tears.

"He loved his country unselfishly and he served it nobly and with unfaltering faith. His spirit knew neither malice nor hatred, no impulse of vengeance ever sought refuge in his bosom. He was gentle of speech, sympathetic, charitable, compassionate, tender, patient, brave.

"Destiny made him the broken-hearted commander-inchief of an embattled nation turned against his native South, duty drove him through the tragic ordeal, and at the end fate struck him down and left even his estranged kinsmen bowed and dumb before his prostrate form.

"History reveals no counterpart of Abraham Lincoln. In body, heart, soul and mind, as well as in the fateful career that God marked out for him, the world has had no other like him among all its sons who have led mankind from Eden to Versailles.

"The pyramids in time may sink beneath the desert sands, the temples of the earth crumble in the dust of ages, the fame of the Caesars vanish in the darkness of oblivion, but surely as long as the race endures it will behold in the familiar figure of the martyred son-strange, gaunt, silent, colossal, with agony written in the lines of his kindly face and love glowing in his wistful eyes-the saddest, gentlest and most pathetic figure in all human history."

A SONNET

I intended an ode, and it turned to a sonnet, It began a la mode, I intended an ode. But Rose crossed road in her latest bonnet. I intended an ode, but it turned to a sonnet.

-Austin Dobson.

KNEW ALL THE ANSWERS

"Is the boss in?" asked the caller.

"Are you a salesman, bill collector, or a friend," asked the boy.

"All three" said the caller.

"ffe's in conference; he's out of town; walk right in," said the boy.

AN IDEAL SCOTCH WIFE

A woman who fasted sixty-five days without any bad effects, just to show that she could, got over one hundred proposals of marriage when the news got out. And the proposers were all Scotch.

PARTING F'ROM A FRIEND

Concerning the feeling for a beloved friend who is far away, that gifted writer Kahlil Gibran wrote:

"When you part frorn your friend, you grieve not. For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain."

A POINTED INVITE

He called his neighbor on the phone to invite him over to a little party they were having that night to celebrate his anniversary. He said, "We are in Apartment FourteenJust push the bell with your elbow."

'Why with my elbow?" asked the puzzled guest-to-be. "Hells-bells," said the other. "You wouldn't come emptyhanded, would you?"

lT is not the privilege of every man to go out in the uniform of his eountry, and with "fire and sword" and plane, and tank, and gun, and bayonet, carry the battle to the enemies of civilization.

There is another great army-a less spectacular but vitally important army-that must stay behind and produce, and forge, and construct those things without which our armed forees cannot Fight the Good Fight, nor lV'in the W'ar for Freedom.

There is such an army at each of the Sabine sawmills- Soldiers with Saws-who are nobly engaged in producing Our share of the THIRTY-TWO BITLION feet of lumber that the war effort has demanded of our industry this year.

Let there be no doubt of that fact; that every man who serves diligently and loyally in woods and mill to produce those wooden units that MUST BE PRODUCED to win this war, is serving his God and his Country like any Soldier, Sailor, Marine, or other uniformed man in our Armed Services.

Soldiers with Saws, yours is not just a Job; it is a Sacred Serviee in the Army for Freedom. Consider it as such!

Wartime Forest Fire Prevention Campaign

Renewal of the frontal attack on one of the most insidious enemies within the nation's borders-man-made forest fires-is announced by the Federal Forest Service and the Association of State Foresters.

Following a plan prepared by the Advertising Council's talent pool, of which R. Z. Eller of the California Fruit Growers Exchange is Coordinator, the nation-wide forest fire prevention drive for 1943 will point out that timber is listed as a critical war material; that fighting forest and woodland fires diverts manpower-7,760,W man-hours of it-from industries and farms each year; and that smoke from forest and woodland fires interferes with the training of pilots and invites attacks by Nazi and Jap subs.

"Yet," the announcement adds, "we continue to have up to 220,ffi forest fires each year;90/o of them continue to be man-made; 30/o of them are still caused by careless smokers and campers ; and 4O/o of them still spread from fires started for such purposes as clearing plow land and burning bruh, debris, and logging slash."

Outdoor displays and hundreds of thousands of smaller 4-color posters will spotlight the fire peril in areas adjacent to forests and farm woodlands. Other campaign material-including envelope stuffers, book-marks, and 16 mm movie trailers-may be secured from or through State Foresters or the Federal Forest Service about the time the forest fire seasons start in each major forest region, according to forestry officials.

Emphasizing Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard's statement that "tJntil we smash the Axis forest fires are enemy fires," and calling attention to the campaign's slogan "Our Carelessness-Their Secret Weapon"; these offiicials join in the following appeal-

California Manzanita for Smoking Pipes

Several mills have been established recently in the Santa Cruz-Monterey region of California for cutting pipe blocks from manzanita burl. This industry has resulted from a search for suitable woods to take the place of genuine brierwood which has been cut off from American markets by war conditions. The only domestic competition for manzanita is found in Kalmia and Rhododendron in the Appalachians; however, the supplies of these woods are reported to be limited.

The burl-forming manzanita species have a wide range of distribution in the California Coast Ranges, the rnountains of southern California, and the Sierra Nevada foothills as shown by the vegetation type maps of the federal Forest Survey of California and Western Nevada. Manzanita belongs to the same botanical family as genuine brierwood and the burls yield a similar flamegrain figure in the rvood. It has many of the same qualities that make briervrood a favored pipe wood.

The amount of available material is limited by the extent of brush fire damage in the stands. Fires cause defects in the burls. which often make them unmerchantable. It has been found that stands containing burlforming manzanita which have not been seriously burned in the past 25 or 30 years will usually yield burls suitable for pipe blocks.

The burls are removed from the ground by hand tools, stump pullers or tractors. Care is taken to keep them from drying until they are to be cut. The mills cut out the burls into blocks of varying sizes and shapes corresponding to individual pipe models. These blocks are boiled and then seasoned slowly before shipment to pipe manufacturers in the East. The manufacturer's cost is about three times the ore-war cost of Mediterranean brierwood.

The possibility of a permanent manzanita industry depends primarily upon improvement in production methods to reduce costs, utilization of waste material, and the reaction of the smoking public to manzanita as a pipe wood.

Technical Note No. 18, California Manzanita for Smoking Pipes, by Hereford Garland and Lois Marion, has just been issued by the California Forest and Range Experiment Station.
