The basic weakness that must eventually destroy Communism is lack of spirituality-of religion.
A great and lasting nation of atheists is an impossibility. The basic principle must be selfishness, and from such a foundation no mighty or permanent structure will ever rise.
Hitler and the Kremlin gang are but incidents in the history of nations. But religion is the very life of those nations. Man, at heart, is a creature that requires sentiment, and religion is the deepest, most ineradicable sentiment in
the human heart.
Strike out religon and you reduce a nation to the level of educated beasts. Annul the power that draws a people upward, and it sinks back to savagery. Where there is no Fatherhood of God, there can be no Brotherhood of Man.
The dictators may try as they will to erase religion from the human heart, but the effort will finally be in vain, and the adoration of a Supreme Power will remain the divine perfume of the soul.

1711 delegates from as far away as Alaska stormed the doors of Portland's new Memorial Coliseum when the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association met for its 58th annual convention and building materials exposition, February 11-13.
It was the greatest show this dynamic group has ever staged in its more than a half-century of service to the elpandin_g retail lumber and building materials industry of the Pacific Northwest, and the greatest trade exhibit-\iith over 125 booths-ever held in the area.
Thanks for the big success are due to the unflagging efforts of Ross G. Kincaid, managing director (elevatl-d to the rank of executive vice president at the annual election; the association's hard-working secretary, Alice Stewart; and the competent headquarters staff.
_ Qomprising the high command were president Raymond E. Morgan, co-chairmen Frank Davis and Newton A. King, the executi'i'e committee and the regional vice presidents and directors.

Little Willie was kneeling at his mother's knee and lqying his evening prayers. He prayed for protection for his daddy, mama, sister, brother, and for ail other loved ones he could think of. And he concluded: "And, O Lord, please take care of Yourself, too, for if anything happened to You we'd all be sunk."
And what a simple *,;-o;o"u remark it was that came from the lips of an American fighting pilot in World War Two, who had just escaped deittr. Hii plane went into a spin and started for earth at enormous speed. He tried every trick he had been taught to pull her out of the spin. Straight down she went. So, finding he could do nothing, he let go of the controls and waited for what providenJe was bringing him. Suddenly the plane began straightening out, and the next thing he knew she wal on a level keel The peril was past. So he reached for the controls. and calmly remarked: "f'll take over now. God."
Patriotism sometimes gets badly scrambled. The old moonshiner in the Arkansas hills had been making illegal whiskey all his life, and always the revenuers hld bJen hounding -him. When war came his only son got caught in the draft, and when he saw his bov in unifoim ttre "ota ylrj:1."V--lker's chest swelled with pride and patriotism. Bidding -ht: _ro"- goodby, he said to trim: ,,Sdn, go out th.ere and fight for^your country, and when you m*eet up with -a-ny of them Germans or japs, shoot 'ern down, sori, just like you would a bunch of durn revenuers."

] lin, one of the world's all-time wise men, said: i.There never was a good war, or a bad peace." If you don't agree, take it up with Ben.
BY JACK DIONNE. Probably no famous remark in the history of the U.S. is more gene_11fly known, or has been more frequently guoted.than William Tecumseh Sherman's descriplion of war. His declaration that War is hell, is known to bne and all. It was at a convention in August, 1880, at Columbus, Ohio, that he said: "There is many a boy here to4ay who looks on war as all glory, but boys-wai is hell ! you can bear this warning voice to generations yet to come-I look upon war with horror." ***
It was Charles Sumner who was credited with writing one of the most beautifully worded thoughts in all literature] when he said: "Give me the money thal has.b_een^sperrt in war and I will clothe every inan, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens could be proud. I will build a school house in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown ewery hillside with a place of worship, consecrated to the gospel of peace."
When Abe Lincoln ran for the Legislature in Illinois, his platform contained just 27 wordi: ,,I believe in a United States bank; I believe in a protective tariff; I believe in a system of internal improvements; and f am agai4st human slavery."
One of the true stories of World War Two that per- fectly-illustrates how American soldiers fight, is about a battalion of our boys who were by-passed ind surrounded in Brittany.by a German countei-ittack, and fought for three days in that position. Food and ammunitioi were dropped to them from the air. But their case seemed hopeless, and a German officer under a flag of truce gave Capt. R. A. Kerley, a Texan, a demand to Jurrender blfore that night. Kerley replied: "Go to hell. I'll surrender when all our ammunition is gone, and all our bayonets are stick- ing in Ge,rman bellies." They were finilly relieved. A superior officer said to Capt. Kerley: .,you had a hell of a nerve to tell the German that." And Kerley replied: .,He had a hell of a nerve to make me that propbsiti,on."

A new feature, which paid off handsomely in bumper attendance, was the selection of a weekend for the conveution sessions.
The convention offrcially opened at 9:00 a.m., Saturday, when the doors were opened to the handsornely-staged exhibit extravaganza. James V. Wright, NLNIA Materials Flandling Director of Washington, D.C., ably moderated the first o{ the three morning materials handling demonstrations.
WRLA vice president Richard T. Wasson, H. O. Seiffert Company, opened Saturday afternoon's first business session. The lirst speaker, J. G. Olclham, lxanager of sales promotion for U.S. Gypsum, western division, presented a stirring adclress on "Teamwork for Profit," and urged continued eftorts toward better cooueration between all segnrents of tlre building industry.
Keynote speaker C. Armel Nutter, 1960 presiclent of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, chose as his subject, "The Market Today," ancl called on l.ris listerrers to
work hard to make their business profitable, to satisfy the needs of their customers and to preserve the economic way of life that is peculiarly American by giving their best efforts to furthering it.
Nutter saicl, "It's the approach that counts-the \ /ay you approach the customer, his needs and his problems. You have to concentrate your efforts on the situation; you can't plorv in one directiorr and look in another."

John M. Jewett, Seattle, Washington life insurance salesman, called for "Quiet, Please-Your Customer Is Talking."

Still going strong, the WRLA contir-rued its assault on the exhibit area during Monday's final activities.
With Ray Morgan again presiding, the \ IRI-A "Playhouse" started off the afternoon session with a skit on an ofiten-recurring sub ject-the distribution dilemma. The skit, "Senate Inquiry into Distribution Problems, or I Didn't Get the Question, Senator," was beautifully handled by a cast of lumbermen-actors.
The "Senators" Winston Pool, John Monaco, John Nelson and Robert Wiclesworth relentlessly pounded away at the "witnesses," and manufacturer "I. Will Makem" Werner Richen extolled the virtues of his status, pointing to the retailer and wholesaler for distribution oroblems. Wholesaler "H. O. Sales" Phillip W. Patterson similarly followed suit, blaming the manufacturer and the retailer for the distribution ills. Retailer "R. E. Taylor" Alan Knox blamed everyone-but himself, and fellow retailer "I. M. Broak" Casey Vermeulen from far-off Alaska took the "fifth" -right back to Alaska with him, that is, snowshoes and all.
In the wind-up slot, veteran lumber journal publisher and editor Arthur A. Hood spoke on "Operating and Marketing Goals." He discussed the new trend in merchandising-"The Packaging Shift"-wherein the successful retailer is now selling the "complete package" through creative selling.
Emphasizing the theme dominant throughout the convention, Hood told the overflow group that the industry was currently in the midst of a radical change, a change from distribution-oriented thinking to consumption-oriented thinking. As an example of a concern that has had tremendous success in merchandising from the consumer's point of view, Hood cited Sears Roebuck & Co. which of its 196O four and one-half billion gross racked up a whopping $700,000,000 volume selling the "complete package" in the building materials 6.eld, 47/o of this volume being on an installment basis.
Following the business sessions, the Association's 1961 president J. M. Bettis gaveled the convention to a close' (Continued" on Page 27)

DRESIDENT Kennedy in a special Presidential housing -f message to Congress (March 9) proposed a $3.25 billion offensive to revitalize the nation's housing industry, to provide better dwellings for low-income families and to stop urban blight.
In brief, his recommendations are:
1. Housing for moderate income families-presently limited FHA insurance of no-down-payment 40-year mortgages should be broadened temporarily to include any family; enactment of a new program of long-term, low interest rate loans for rental and cooperative housing.
2. Helping low-income families-removal of a limitation on use of remaining aathorization in the 1949 Housing Act for public housing, thus authorizing about 100,000 additional low-rent units; a program of demonstration grants for community experimentation in low-income housing.
3. Housing for the elderly-that Congress increase the present direct loan authorization for housing for the elderly from $50 million to $100 million; the administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency is directed to earmark 50,000 units of low-rent public housing for low-income elderly persons.
4. Revitalization of urban areas-Congress to give communities wider discretion to determine. urban renewal areas, to liberalize federal allowances for relocation payments to displaced businessmen. FHA has been directed to speed processing of applications for insurance on properties in urban renewal areas.
Mr. Kennedy recommended that Congress authorize FHA
to insure loans for home improvement, and authorize resale of existing houses in urban renewal areas at a realistic price for rehabilitation.
5. Land Reserves-the HHFA administrator and Secretary of the Interior are directed to develop a long-range program for orderly development of urban land. Congress should authorize $100 million to start a program to help public bodies finance reservation of land, and authorize urban renewal loans to finance acquisition of open space for public or private development.
6. Community Facilities and Urban TransportationKennedy will submit a bill to authorize an additional $50 million for public facilities loans; study of urban transportation problems to be made.
7. Rural Housing-the unused balance of farm housing loan authority, due to expire June 30, should be extended five years; the Secretary of Agriculture and others are directed to develop adequate credit for housing in rural communities; Congress should authorize farm improvement loans to be secured by other than mortgages.
8. Veterans Housing-Congress should extend loan guarantees and direct loan program and increase direct loan iuthority above the present $150 million.
9. Training and Research-Congress should appropriate sufficient funds to do research on housing and urban problems, to improve home-building techniques and lower costs.
10. A New Department-the President recommended establishment of 1 new cabinet-ranking department of housing and urban affairs.

WHOLESALE
"This move brings our production and sales offices together under one roof in the office building at our Cloverdale plant," general salesmanager Jim Knox states.
"And we believe the consolidation will enable us to improve our. service to you at this time..when service is of ever increasing importance to all of us," he noted.
fOUXS-ffIANVILLE Corporation has taken the wraps J otr a new system of construction aimed at producing lower cost, quality housing.
Clinton B. Burnett, President and Chief Executive Officer, told stockholders at their annual meeting in Chicago on March 16 that the new products and methods of assembly for residential construction in the new system had been under scientific development at the company's Research and Engineering Center, Manville, N.J., for several years.
The newly developed system permits simultaneous erection of exterior and interior wall surfaces ready for final finishing, complete with vapor barrier and insulation, through use of prefabricated, modular panels. These new panels utilize an entirely new board product specially developed for these applications and a new adhesive joint compound.
The new products and new method of residential construction have been named The Flex-Ponent Svstem bv Johns-Manville. The new factory-assembled pinels ar-e unique in that they can be used to construct houses of almost any architectural design. Standard panel sizes are 4x8 feet but various other sizes will also be available.
The new Flex-Ponent System will be introduced shortly through regular Johns-Manville distribution channels in a limited area around St. Louis. Mo.. Mr. Burnett announced. He said the distribution area will be expanded as rapidly as public acceptance dictates.
Mr. Burnett told stockholders that Johns-Manville intends to make detailed information on The Flex-Ponent Svstem. accumulated through long scientific research and eiection of several "proof" l-rouses under company supervision, available to J-M jobber, dealer and fabiicator cirstomers. The company hopes that its development of this type of low cost, quality housing will perform a service not only for.Johns-Manville customers but for the whole economy, and ,put much-needed good housing within reach of moderate and low-income groups.
The industry has long been seeking more modernized erection methods and products that could utilize the advanced technologies. Johns-Manville officials believe The Flex-Ponent System represents a major technological "breakthrough" and could have far-reaching effects in lowering costs for quality homes.
"We recognize that to serve the rapidly evolving house market, a building materials manufacturer canno[ afford to concentrate scientific research exclusively on develop- ment of materials," Mr. Burnett said. "ft is also part of ou-r responsibility to find ways of improving quality and efficiency of their application, and reducing -appliiation costs. We believe the nelv Flex-Ponent Svstem could represent an important advance in construction of residential housing."
Johns-Manville has projects for further growth and cost reduction in the planning stage that could require capital
expenditures of around $25,000,000 in 1961, it was disclosed.
"We must be prepared for some revolutionary shifts in the fields we serfe,"-Mr. Burnett said, in discussing the immediate years ahead. "These shifts could come about tl-rrough technological advances, style changes and obsolescence. We have developed what we believe are some very solid programs to anticipate needs of our customers in home and industrial markets."
Results in 1960 did not live up to early optimistic forecasts, Mr. Burnett noted, although Johns-Manville had a good year and continued to sell products all year at the rate of a million-dollars-a-day. Earnings and sal-es were the second highest in company history although they did not measure up to the all-time records established in 1959. The total 1960 sales of $365,000,000 were off 3 percent, from the 1959 record, while earnings after taxes of $26,500,000 were off $5,000,000.
"Industrial production has been in a declining trend for
some months," Mr. Burnett said, "and new orders have continued to sag. Our sales in the first two months of 1961 were less than last year. It now seems clear that our first quarter sales and earnings will be off. We are hopeful that general _business _will shorv expected improvement by the end of th_e_ second quarter and that housing starts wili also pick up. If current forecasts by many birsiness leaders and economists are true, that business will improve during the se_cond__quarter_and for the balance of [he year, Johns- Manville should have a better year in 1961 than in 1960.
"I am sure that such problems as the higher costs of doing business, increased domestic and foreign competition, and the squeeze on profits will be with us the rest of this year and for many years to come," Mr. Burnett ._said::'lzBut several basic factors favor us. We have more av'ailable producing capacity. J-M research and developrhent activity has been intensified. Our population is growing rapidly and people have more money to spend."

nationally.
Called the plywood box section which delta frame, the new component is a hollow beam bent in the form of a central A-frame rests on concrete piers and which can carry
cantilevered beams on one or both sides. It was developed to fill the need for a versatile. economical construction svstem suitable in a wide range of larger buildings.
The delta frame is tl-re most thoroughly engineered component ever produced by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. In addition to full-scale laboratory tests, the component has been proven in a prototype, an open play shelter built for

The play shelter has the classic delta frame silhouette: A central A-frame section with a rise of 20 feet from concrete piers and a clear span of 40 feet, and two 2O-foot flat wing beams cantilevered from the legs of the A-frame. Four of the bents spaced on 16-fooi centers form the skeleton of the 82x56-foot structure.
_.Two experimental products were used in the prototype. These are .factory-prefinished panels which Weyerhaeuser !_omp_any produced by bonding duPont's synthetic rubber Hypalon to .fir plywood sheets; and Hypalon tape, a pressure-sensitive, waterproof tape produced by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company from strips of Hypa- lon 8 to 10 mils thick.

You'll sell the house if you sell the lady of the house, and a new Weyerhaeuser booklet titled "ABC's for the Lady of the House" is designed to help you do both.
Written from a woman's viewpoint and in non-technical language, it explains why lumber is kiln-dried and outlines the practical advantages that properly kiln-dried framing lumber contribute to house construction.
Most women are surprised to learn that kiln-dried framing lumber is actually stronger and that it holds nails better than unseasoned lumber.* Hitting closer to their pocketbook, however, is the fact that kiln-dried framing lumber reduces the chance of plaster cracks, squeaking floors, and sticking doors-defects in a house that result in expensive maintenance or lower resale value.
Dealers will find the booklet a source of potent selling
information for their builder and contractor customers, too. For a free copy, write to Weyerhaeuser Compairy, Lumber & Plywood Division, Tacoma 1, Washington.

A Louisiana man found an inland lake, and went fishing. He took along a bottle of corn whiskey, a fresh made home product.
He had no more than settled down to fish when he heard the loud croaking of a frog, and saw a great big moccasin snake starting to swallow a great bullfrog. So, not liking snakes and thinking the frog would make good fish bait, he put a forked stick over the neck of the moccasin, pinned him down, and made him disgorge the frog. Then a new thought struck him, and putling out his bottle of corn licker, he poured it generously into the open mouth of the snake. Then he turned the snake loose, and watched it wiggle alvay. Then he went back to fishing.
A few minutes later he heard more agonized frog noise, close athand, and saw the same big moclasin, with-a much bigger- fr.oS-i1 his mouth, swimriing in friendly fashion aSou{ his fish line,, and holding the -big frog in his direction. He saw the point.
The snake wanted to trade the frog for another drink of that Louisiana corn.

Whiskey
According to "The Vagabond," a little magazine of literature, the following remarkable paper on the subject of "Whiskey" was delivered to a Florida State Chamber of Commerce dinner by one W. R. (Billy) Matthews. It deserves the name of classic:
"Thank you for writing me about this controversial subject. I had not intended to discuss it at this particular time. However, I want you to know that I do not shun a controversy. On the contrary, I will take a stand on any issue at any time, regardless of how fraught with controversy it may be. You have asked me how I feel about whiskey. Here is how I stand on this question.
"If, when you say WHISKEY you mean the Devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children, if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacles of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation and despair, shame and helplessness and hopelesssness, then certainly I am against it with all of my power.
"But, if, when you say WHISKEY, you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty morning; if you mean the drink that enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm, to build highways, hospitals and schools, then, certainly, I am in favor of it.
"This is my stand, and I will not compromise."

Striving to add another "first" to the production and merchandising of T&G 2.4.1 0%n plywood combined subfloorunderlayment), I)urable Plywood has taken the lead in supplying 2.4.1 with a solid crossband under the face, giving the product a f.uIl 5/16" of solid wood throughout the panel. ' Dedicated to producing the best possible product, Durable Plywood Sales Company salesmanager, Rolf Stolesen, noted that Durable has chalked up several "firsts" in the development of 2.4.I. The first volume producer of 2.4.1, Durable was the first to convert exclusively to hot press 2.4.1, the first to voluntarily produce the product with a "C" crossband (adopted by the DFPA in cooperation with Durable last summer), and the first to treat the edges of their 2.4.1 panels rvith Lubricant Sealer which protects the edges during shipment, and eliminates any possibility of squeeks in the floor after installation.
"Our main interest is to create a 2.4,1 'image' second to none," Stolesen declared. "By incorporating a solid crossband under the face of our Danels. even the remote our panels, remc 'Little Bertha' with spi possibility that a grand piano or spike high heels might poke a dent in 2.4.1 ("C" crossband allows one-inch open knot holes under the face) has been eliminated," he said.
Manufacturing only one grade-"Premium Q1ads"Durable Plywood has been producing up to 44/o of. the
plywood industry's total production of 2.4.1, Stolesen noted.
"Besides the development of a product second to none," Stolesen said, "we also attribute a good portion..of our success in the 2.4.1 fr,eld to our DFPA-prepared front cover advertising in THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT and our 'jobbers only' policy throughout the Nation."
According to figures prepared by the DFPA for the first three quarters of 1960, Durable Plywood produced and sold 68/o of all the 2.4.1 used in the Los Angeles area, and 57/o of the market in the Greater Bav Area.

Recently Paula made her debut at a servicewide meeting of Forest Service safety officers, and was granted an enthusiastic reception. Paula has proved very adaptable as a safety symbol. In addition to her personal appearances, her picture is used on various promotional materials.
It has been suggested that Paula may expand her activities beyond the Forest Service-perhaps to be adopted by the lumber industry or any other industries related to forests and soil.
For further information you may write to Seth Jackson or Jack Heintzelman, U.S. Forest Service, Washington 25, D.C. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Heintzelman will welcome ideas for additional uses of the "Paula Bunyan" safety theme, and will be glad to help you adapt this symbol for use in other industries.

Eureka, Calif.-Forestry in California's Redwood country and the Rotary Club in Eureka have teamed up to aid the United States, in diplomatic relations on a grand scale, according to Fred Landenberger, California Redwood Assn. forester and a Eureka Rotarian.
Five college forestry scholarships for five students from five different countries in five successive years have been provided by Eureka Rotary in cooperation with Rotary clubs and students from over the world.
Guatemala and the Guatemala City Rotary Club sent the first student, Arnaldo Castellanos of the Guatemala Forest Service, to the School of Forestry at Humboldt State College'in Arcata in 1956.
Rotary in Reykjavik, fceland, was next with Agust Arnason, who also studied forestry at Humboldt State in 1957. He was followed by Parmi Dhillon from Madras, India, who continued his studies in forestry at the northern California school.
Next in the student exchange program was Sam Kunkle, a junior forestry major at l{umboldt, who was selected to go for a year's study at Goettingen University near Kassel, in West Germany.
While in Germany, Kunkle persuaded the Kassel Rotary to assist the Eureka club in selecting a German student to come to the United States for a year. During August of 1960. Helmut Muscheid was selected and is now at Humboldt State under sponsorship of Eureka Rotary.
The lumber industry will have two members of a delega- tion of twenty five industry and business executives of N.orthern California when Wendell Robie of Auburn and Leroy Miller of Sacramento are on the trip to the Soviet IJnion where the delegation will be guests of the USSR Chamber of Commerce and the Soviet Foreign Trade organization.
Miller is President of Burnett & Sons Planing 1\4ill and Lumber Company, of Sacramento. Robie was Chairman of the California State Board of Forestry and representa- tive of timber ownership on the Board during eighteen years. He is the executive officer of Auburn Lumber Company and president of several lumber companies in the Sacramento Valley. He is also, president of the Central
California Federal Savings and Loan Association with offices in Auburn, Davis and Vacaville. Miller is a director of Senator Savings and Loan Association in Sacramento.
They state the Soviet Uni,on is much more interested in the lumber industry than in such savings and thrift institutions for a nation where family home ownership is not encouraged. Although Russia has large forests, the over-all shortage of timber and lumber is so great that their effort in recent forest planting over great regions has been given a top priority in the economic program of the Soviet Union.
The delegation will leave Sacramento April 25th for a briefing session in Washington the next morning by the United States f)epartment of State and for introductions at the Russian Embassv. Thev will arrive in Moscow bv airline the next afternooir, folloiving a brief stop in Brusseli.

Dealers who operate in farm markets can expect some boost in farm construction opportunities, due to the release of an additional $50 million between now and June 1961, through the USDA Farmers Home Administration.
Thele funds are available to eligible farmers from the local county offices of the USDA Farmers Home Administration to repair, alter, modernize, or erect new dwellings, storage facilities and service buildings. Thirty-three year loans at 4 percent interest are only available, however, to farmers w6o are unable to obtain adequate credit from other lenders.
The White House announcement that an additional $50 million is being made available for the period ending June 30, 1961, could help dealer volume in farm areas' since the demand for this type loan generally increases during the spring and summer months.

Defeoi ond Pessimism
(Compliments of John Pearson, Pearson Lumber Co. and Elditor of the Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club 39 "Meow")
"In our every day, day-to-day business contacts, I seem to find more and more predominate feelings of defeat and pessimism in the lumber and building materials industry.
"Salesmen come in with a tale of poor business, recession, unemplo5rment, mills closing down, low prices, and intense
competition for available business.
"This is CATCHING and BAD. Instead of crying the blues how about doing something constructive to promote business, merchandise the product, or create demand for our products?
"Let's take a POSITM attitude rather than a negative attitude. Maybe this could be catching too?"-Editor
