had our wits about u8, wc would quit talking abgqt the high cost of living. It is the high cost of taxation which is making us groggy.',
***
Yes, if we had our wits about us, and the facts before us, we would 6nd no ground for disagreement with the above stated opinion of the Democratic Dallas News editor. The cost of living isn't really very high. But the cost of taxation is as high as Mt. Everest. ***
Of courpe commodity prices difrer in different locations, but the relationship between actual cost and taxation are about the same everywhere. So the figures recently published by the New York Journal American are a sound basis for discussion. That paper took many ordinary articles of trade and figured the tax the consumer pays on each. !f*{.
Just as a sample, New YorkerF were paying 2l cents a quart for milk. The Journal found that only 13 cents of this was for the milk, while taxation took the other 8 cents the housewife paid. If she only had to pay the 13 cents for the milk she would think the price entirely reasonable. But with the taxes added, the high cost of milk became staggering.
When a New Yorker ,r"-0"*" 15 cents for a loaf of bread, the price of the bread is really only 10 cents. The other 5 cents, 50 per cent of the retail price, is taxes. Ten cents for bread would be fine. It's the tax nickel that brings about the high cost ot*"o;rr daily bread.',
Perhaps we might interest the Lord in this serious matter by changing tlre age-old prayer and saying-"Give us this day our daily bread-or-if that isn't possible, Lord, please relieve us of the high taxes." ***
When a New Yorker lays down 70 cents for a piece of meat at the market, 50 cents is the price of the meat; the other 20 cents is taxes. If he pays $15 for a railroad ticket, $2.25 of that sum is for the tax collector. An $18 auto tire is $15 for the tire and $g for taxes. A $21 lawn mower is $14 for the machine and $7 for taxes. A $9 pair of shoes is really a pair of $6 shoes and a $3 tax. If a New Yorker pays $10,0@ for a house, the house costs a very reasonable $7,000, while the tax bitl is 93,000. If he doesn't own a house but rents a room for $OO a month, $+O is for the room and $20 for the taxqs.
Reviewing rome of thece facts and figurcs as prerented by the Ncw York papcr, the Dallar News ofrers a few remarks of its own, such as: "TheEe tar(ct, you realize, are paid by the rich and the poor. The baby drinkr taxes, cats taxer, sleeps on taxeE, cuts hie tecth on taxcs, and bathes in taxes. The reason we are becoming ao conscious of all this is that Mr. Rooeevelt is dead. As long as he was alive we borrowed money to meet the extravaganzas of his imagination. But now that he is dead we arc taxing as Rosevelt nevcr did or dared to do.,,
rl**
"Who is the richest man in the United Statec today?', continues the News editorial. "The tax experts will tell you that he is Harry Truman. He gets tax-free services and tax-free perguisites not p€rtnitted to any other citizen of the land. No king in Europe could ever match our Harry. Not even Solomon in all hig glory could take unto himself wings and fy to the ends of the earth for a vacation in the sun, or plow the mighty deep in a foating palacc such as no Oriental despot ever dreamed of. George Washington was accused of aping the monarchs of Europe, but his little establishment when he was President marks him as a mere country squire in comparison with His TAXATIONAL Majesty, Harry the First. ,f**
"Remember, whenever you try to do with tax money what the individual ought to do for himself, he gets less, and you pay more. Free wigs for British baldheads are the costliest wigs in the world. Free teeth for Britistr gumsters are teeth, of course, but they would be better teeth and fit better if he paid for them himself directly to the dentist of his own choice. Britain rolls up taxation to take about 40 per cent of all that everybody makes. That means that there is too little to eat, too few digging coal, and too many co'unting figures in taxation offices all over the country.
"And we foolish Americans," concludes the Dallas News, "are following in the British path. WE CALL IT WELFARE. WE CALL IT PROGRESS. WE CALL IT LIBERALISM. BUT THE THREE DOLLARS OF TAXES IN YOUR NINE DOLLAR SHOES JUST MEANS THAT YOU ARE PUNISHING YOUR FEET FOR THE SINS OF YOUR HEAD."
I read just a few days ago the words of a man of competent authority who declared that "more than half of the people of the world are hungry." Think that over. Roll it over on your tongue. More than one half of the people of this world are hungry. And they are not all in

But when I read about it, and the statement that more than half of the pcople of the world are hungry, I picked up a very authoritativc rcport on economic conditiong in the Unitcd Stater, and here ir what it said: that our government has in storage nearly four billion dollars worth of commodities, mstly'food and clothing, all of which was taken over in our fearful price support plan, and most of which wag retired and withdrawn from human usc, for the one and only purpoec of holding up the price of those commodities. Here is a partial liet of thc things this GovGrnment hae atored, "gafe from the hands of the starving and poor" aE an old, old poem used to say:

will fit into the financial ability of the school districts and will give nraximum service at a minimum of original cost.
A bumper crop of seven million war babies, just coming of school age, and an unprecedented high birth rate in thc last half dozen years, has presented U' S' taxpayers with a vast and troublesome social and fiscal headache.
Llefore the nation's 103,000 school boards today is thc problem of how to build 400,000 new classrooms within the next ten years to insure every child his rigltt to an educ:rtion, an<l still stay within budget limitations.
By 1960, at least $10,000,000,000 (st>me experts say $15 billion) will be spent to provide these nerv school facilities, and replace 1.50,000 classrooms now rttttworn' s()me dating back to Civil War days.
Since 1940, the nation's top school architects an<l dcsigners have been at work, using every modern technological improvelnent, every trick of engineering and constrttction. They have c()tne up rvith the ideal streamlined, comfortable, eye-llleasing, lorv-cost School of T<lmorr one-st()ry btrilcling corubining efficiency, safety, ec()11()my and flexibility.
For ten years these pioneering, one-story schools of the future have been built, dotting every state across the country. They have been tested and found far sttperior to the old-style, multi-storied, institutional-type, extravagant monuments rvhich school districts saddled themsclves with in the past.
The new American school buildings of the future will be single-story structures of practical, tnodern design, completely functional, which will fit into the community in a friendly, home-like fashion. More important, they
The overall cost of the school of tomorrow is less than thc cost of building thc older "monumental" style. School designers norv recognize that the ever-changing educational requirements of the conrmunity call for greater flexibility in school structures, and modern-designed, frame construction meets that need.
In the past, because the old-style school was built largely of hcavy nraterials retail lumbermen could not fully par' ticipatc in this business. The one-story school building is built largely of the so-called "light" construction materials, and thus offers the retail lumberman an opportunity to shlrc fully as a local, taxpaying supplier.
llhe new, one-story scho<ll has much t<l rccommend it :rsi<lc fr<lm original lower constructi<ln cost. Into this lruil<ling has gone all the research of thc last ten years by many school designcrs, into it has gone all the new technic:rl dcvelopments and itnprovcments in rvood engineering, anrl lruilt into these ncw schools is an entirely different

attitude and approach to education and treatment of the student.
The retail lunrberman would do well to inform himself fully on what the mo<lern-designed, single-story, woodframe school tras to offer. On him may fall the responsibility of properly aclvising local school authorities. He may even want t() make the first approach, if school expansion is plannctl, to make ccrtain school officials know all thc facts about one-story schools.
In ordcr to bc of assistance in this work, the West Coast I-umbermen's Association will support thc retail lumllerman with a series <-rf advertisentents in national magazines, architectural and educational publications promoting the one-story school building. We will also soon have available for the use of the retail lumberm:tn, an attractive 8-page, four-color booklet, titled-"Today's Better Schools Are ltuilt of Wood." I)ealers may have quantities of these llooklets free and they should help in prornotion of onestory schools as well as aid in selling materials for them.
Hcre are some of the selling points for the one-story, wood-frame scho,ol:
These schools can be built rvith a mininrum of investmcnt, and later can be converted from grade to high school use, or they can be moved to other locations. They lend themselves readily to expansion and enlargement without harm to the architectural plan. I)esigned in wood, they are highly flexible, can easily be remodeled or modernized to accommodate changing educational requirements.
One-story construction makes possible maximum efficiency in classroom lighting, heating and ventilation. The nrodern wood school has a home-like warmth' Children arc nlore at ease and at the end of the school day both stuclents and teachers are lcss fatigued. Itooms open on grounrl fl<xrr giving greatest safety to stu<lents in case of cmcrgency. Many are tlte variations for stttdent comfort an<t tcaching efficiency that have becn built into these amazing new scho()ls. As fast as inrprovements have lleen tcsted, architccts have btrilt them inttt these schools' The result is that today's schools are ltetter schools. They rrrore ne:rrly meet the community's needs.
More infortttation on thc ncrv tren<l in sclt<lol <lesign will lle given in the West Coast Ltrmbermen's Association's new school booklet. Ilequests for the booklet are now bcing rcceivcd and rvill be filled as rapidly as they come from the press. Itetailers may obtain arry quantity of thc four-color lrooklets without c<lst.

Builders prefer them for their luxury appearance and ease of application. Homeowners prefer them for their genuine cedar shingle beauty, economy and care-free service. Stained Shakertown Sidewalls are fast becoming America's first choice because they answer the demand for housing materials at low cost, and with minimum cost-per-year of service.
Shakertown Sidewalls, made exclusively of cedar shingles, are re-butted and jointed to assure straight, unbroken course lines and tight invisible joints. For information and color samples, write the address below.

George S. Melville
Well known and highly regarded by his many friends, acquaintances, and competitors, is George S. Melville, the subject of this thumbnail career sketch.
This capable executive was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. His family has been in the lumber business for 53 years. Their firm, the J. H. Melville Lumber Co., has a chain of retail yards with headquarters in Broken Bow, Neb. Until recently he was financially interested in the business.
He served in World War f, and had his commission and wings in Naval Aviation. He came to California in l9Zl. and his first job on the road selling lumber was with IJnion Lumber Company in 1922. He was with A. L. "Gus" Hoover from l9Z4 to 1932.
In 1935 Mr. Melville became associated with South Sound Lumber Sales. That firm was bought out by Simpson Logging Company in 1942, and he has been with Simpson as district manager since that organization began selling direct in 1942, with warehouse and office at 1610 East Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles. The sales territory of the Southern California branch is Southern California as far north as Santa Barbara and Bakersfield; Nevada from Las Vegas south; New Mexico, and West Texas.
Mr. Melville was married in 1924 to Miss Corine Orban of Whittier.
He is active in the American Legion, and was Commander of Lumbermen's Post No. 403 in 1946. He is a member of York Rite bodies of the Masonic Order, and of Al Malaikah Temple of the Shrine. He is a member of the Jonathan Club, and for many years has been a member of the Hoo-Hoo Order.

A mysterious Etranger had appeared away back in the Ozark Mountains and was occupying a lonely hut, keeping to himself, and having nothing to do with anyon€ that passed. Naturally he became thc object of intenee curiosity and deep suspicion among the natives. On Saturday night when the old "he coons" of the mountain side had gathered around the stove in the local grocery store, the myrsterious Btranger became the subject of conversation.
"I'll tell you what I thinlg" said one. "I think he's a hoss thief, an' wc better watch our gtock."

Thc Sunkist Lumber Co. of Monr<lvia recently sponsored a cr-rntest to <lbtain a ncw name for their contpany. The winning name, Timberline I-umber Co., was submitted by the advertising class of Citrus Junior College, and won out over nearly four hundred other narnes subrnitte<l by contestants. Fred Arndt, manager, presented the llrize check for $50 to Thomas Fell, instructor of the advertising class. The class in turn presented the clieck to the Crippled Children's Fund.
The name was chosen lty the class after being tested by methods used in many large advertising agencies. The nineteen students in the class wrote the names of their choice on the blackboard, after which they all discussed slogans, and tie-ins of the names with the lumber business in mind. The names were then erased and each pupil was asked to write the names he could remember. The name Timberline Lumber Co. was the name remembered by most pupils.

A New Window Comeg to California
A new window, the , I{usc<., Prime Window, is " now being distributecl in I California by thc Southern California ll'usco ('o., l). O. Ilox 95(r, Santa Ana. O1rcned for busirress in January of this year, this compatry is handling distribution for all of California, and contemplates opening an oflice an<l stocking point in the central part of the statc in the near future. Frcd S. Thompson, Poritivc locliag mochcniror of thc l'resident of I n I a n d :9.:l?fi:l[l1i$ Htr;,::1.,$3 r.rrmber c.., r]ro<,n,ing_ ia cll vcntiloiing or clorcd poritioar, ton, wholesale lurrrller providing prowlor.prool protcctoin. concern, is president of the Sorrthern California Rusco Co. also. Bill Sharp is manager, and salesmen calling on the trade are Jim Hencl_ ricks, Bill Pumfrey, and Dick Miller. Tom H. Iones is advertising and promotion manager.
The Rusco Prime Window is being distributed only through lumber and building material dealers. It is manufactured by the F. C. Russell Company of Cleveland, large manufacturers of combination screen and storm sash for twelve years. The Prime Window is an adaptation of the Rusco Combination Window to meet the requirements of new construction. It is a trim, streamlined, efficient unit, durable and trouble-free. Made of the finest quality Armco hot-dipped galvanized steel, it is finished with baked-on outdoor aluminum enamel ancl requires no further painting except the toxic-treated wood surround. The glass is bedded in mastic and held in place by a removable stainless steel spline which simplifies glass replacement in case of breakage. No putty is used anywhere on the unit.
No weights, balances or cords are used, and the window automatically locks in any ventilating position. Lumite
I)lastic Screen Cloth is used in thc window screen frames, rernaining in place the year 'round, offering filtered screen vcrrtitation at all seasons, an<t also providing a protective barrier against falls in hornes where there are small childrcn. The plastic scrcening will not rust, rot, corrode or bulge.
A fcature is the easy removability of the glass and scrcen inserts from insidc the building, which also means that the frames can be placcd in position during construction, antl the glass and scrcen panels inserted later, thus clirninating unnecessilry llreakage while the building is under construction.
Thc Itusco Primc Window may be had in conjunction with irrside adjustable self storing insulating panels, and is av:rilable in twenty stanclard slide units which can be c:rsily combined in most any arrangement of twin, triplet or picture window with flankers.
Ii. C. Itussell, presiclent of the F. C. I{ussell Co., was a fcatured speaker at thc kick-off luncheon of the Southern C:rlifornia Itetail I-umber Association's annual meeting, just over. Jim Connolly is West Coast manager.

All Lumber Dealers should know these facts about Pressure'Treated Lumber
PROlECTION-Treating oI lumber preserves itjust as alloys preserve metals. The purpose is to protect lumber against costly rot and termite damage. Treated lumber should be used wherever wood is exposed to rot and termites.
PRESSURE TREATMENT VS. SURFACE APPLICATION-Remember that pressure treating is recognized by responsible authorities as being far superior to surface application because it forces the preservative deep into the fibres o{ the wood. This provides complete protection against decay and termites.
OTHER QUAIJTIES TO LOOK FOR-For sreatest usefulness, preservatives should not only stop rot and termites, but also should be clean, odorless, paintable, non-Ieaching and non-corrogive.

lN looking back a few years, it's striking to note how time changes everyrhing. But, in the wake of change, progress has followed, inevirably.
Back in the days before the railroad was built into the Redwood region, all shipments were made by water. This required receiving and concentration yards at strategic locations on San Francisco Bay and, Southern California ports.
r$7ith the advent of the railroad, we tevised our methods and expanded our plant at Scotia to handle direct mill shipments. Our low cosrs ^t that time permitted us to supply redwood in a piece or a cadoad.
rworld war II brought with it a heavy demand for redwood. Again, we had to rcgear our oPerations to the needs of the times. In modernizing and mechanizing our pioduction methods, we wete able to meer the challenge of heavily increased costs.
Following the war, wage levels and costs of operation continued to rise. In the face of this critical situation, it seemed wise to take advantage of the economies of unit handling. only in this way have we been able to maintain the high uniformity of quality required by our dealers and their customers.

Congrer Arkcd to Inspcct Forect Inrcct Damagc
Portland, Ore., April l-listablishrnent of a congressional investigating committee to inspect "alarming" insect cpi<lcrnics in wcstcrn timber is llcing sought by lumller llrorluccrs, the Wcstcrn Itinc Association rcported to<lay.
Iirrrcst 1,. Kolbe, chief forcster, sai<l the Association has petitionc<l thc Agricultural subcorrrmittee of thc Housc Apllropriations cornnrittee to senrl a <lcleg:rtion of congressmcn on r tour of at least nine western states rvhcre infcst:rtions arc m()st serious.
"Losscs are rtow so scvcrc," hc said "and the several cpidcmics lrave reached such alarming sizes that the nation's rrrercharrtablc tinrller sullllly is threatened rvith a <lisastrous, llut mostly necdlcss and preventallle drain. The imnrc<liate situation deman<ls complete cooperative action ir, Jrreventing wholesale destruction of both prrblicly and llrivatcly otvned forests."
Kollrc sai<l the lunrber indrrstry and public agencies have 'rvorketl unceasingly on control me:rsures and efforts t<r salvagc insect-killc<l trees. Sevcral rvestcrn states have ap1>ropriated funds for cooperativc control efforts with timbcr owners and federal agencics. Tinrller owners contrillutc their share through special taxation.
"Rut since nearly 7O per cent of commercial forest lands in thc Western Pine l{egion are federally owned or managccl," the l'ortland forester said, "the U. S. Government has a major responsibility in combating the several serious outbreaks. We in the industry deplore the 'to little and too late' help which has permitted insect infestations on national forests to continue virtually ur.rchecked and to spread to adjoining lands."
Kolbe listed eight major epidemics. He termed the Spruce lrudrvorm infestation in Washington and Oregon and the Spruce bark beetle epidemic in Colorado as the most serious. Budrvorms are attacking lnore than 12 billion feet of valuable Fir timber and the bark beetles have already killed more than four billion feet of Spruce. Practically all of the Spruce in Wyoming, Colorado and Nerv N{exico has been killed or is threatened by the beetle, l-re said. It is the most severe forest insect epiden.ric on rec<lrd in the west.
Kolbe listed these other infestations:
l. North central Colorado rvhere Black Hills beetles are killing Ponderosa I'ine in the Roosevelt national forest and threatening over a million acres of timber. More tl-ran 42,n0 trees are known to be infested.
2. Southeast Idaho and western Wyoming where Mountain Pine beetles are attacking Lodgepole Pine on five national forests, Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and adjoining areas.
3. Northern Idaho where Mountain Pine beetles are causing heavy losses of valuable white pine. Over a billion board feet of timber valued at $23 million is now at stake.
4. Montana where Mountain Pine beetles are killing Lodgepole Pine on over 50,000 acres. (This is aside from smaller outbreaks destroying Pine and Fir timber.)
5. South Dakota where Black Hills beetles are killing
l'onderosa Pine on more than 3000 acres.
6, California where Western Pine beetles are beginning to attack in increasing numbers. Early control is needed to prevent an epidenlic.
Kolbe termed the $750,000 appropriated this week to fight the lru<lworm epidemic herc and in Washington as a "good start" toward control on national f<lrests llut said th:rt nruch rnore help will be nce<lc<l if tlrc inscct nrcnace is to bc <lcfeate<l throughout the west.

Public Hearing on Proposed Change in Primitive Area
San Francisco, Mar. 16.-The U. S. Forest Service announced today it will hold a public hearing April 20, at 9 a.m., in the county 'courthouse at Riverside, to ascertain public opinion on the proposed elimination of 320 acres from the San Jacinto Primitive Area.
The Mount San Jacinto Winter Park Authority desires to construct an aerial tramway from near Palm Springs to the 8500-foot level on Mt. San Jacinto, on a route which crosses the eastern edge of the primitive area. The primitive area is part of the San Bernardino National Forest.
The winter park authority has requested a right-of-way easement. The Forest Service states this would necessitate
tlre elimination of 320 acres from the 21,400 acres in San Jacinto Primitive Area, because the existence or an aerial tramway would be inconsistent with the maintenance of primitive conditions.
Persons who desire to speak or present papers at the public hearing are requested to notify Perry A. Thompson, Regional Forester, 630 Sansome St., San Francisco 11,
Anyone desiring to express his views in wirting may do so by writing to Regional Forester Thompson not later than April 27.
Mr. Thompson said all evidence, whether presented at the public hearing or sent by mail, will be considered by him and the Chief of the U. S. Forest Service in reaching a decision.

Washington, I). C.-More favorable market conditions, plus postwar developntents in salvage krgging and prelogging havc added 500 million board feet to the I'acific Northwest's timber ()utl)ut annually, acc<lrding to Don S. I)enman, vice presi<lent of the Crown Zcllerllach C-'orporation.
"Conditions have been ()pportune for salvage togging, clearr logging and pre-logging, rcsulting in much bctter utilization of forest rnaterials," Mr. I)enman stated in a report clelivered before the American l,ulpwood Association in New York.
Thc Crown Zellerbach official praised results of thc industry-sponsore<l Oregon and Washington Forest Clonscrvation Acts which are airne<l at securing full stocking arr<l grou'th of frlrests on all timberland.
"There ferv violations and fine c<lollerati<ln from some 9.5 percent of the landowners an<l operatr)rs," he declared.
Mr. l)enman termed the Tree Farm and Keep Grecn programs as prlrverful forccs frlr good forest management and firc prevention. IJe pointe<l out that these two I)acific Northwest programs havc now spread to all parts of thc nation and are active in nearlv every timbered state in the union.
Iiorcst industries ir.r Western C)regon and Washington with 600 professional foresters on their payrolls, now employ more trained foresters than all the state and federal
agencics in the region combined. Many of these industry foresters are aiding small woodlot owners in timber marking and other related activities, the Crown Zellerbach official stated.

Mill Progresses at North Bend
$TIJCCO IryON'T PUNCII HOI,il$ ',, $I$AIKRAtr'T. .,crttua tuoqil
North Bend, Oregon, April 1-Despite adverse weather conditions, construction work on Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's new sawmill is progressing substantially, with about 125 men on the job.
Much of the physical development is unspectacular and consists of "below-the-ground" piling and concrete foundations for the various buildings, such as the sawmill, planing mill and dry kilns. About half of the 2800 foot bulkhead along the front edge of the 40 acre millsite has been decked with heavy planking.
Now showing up above ground as evidence of real progress are two buildings, the office and machine shop. The former will be readied as soon as possible to provide space for new personnel as construction activities expand. Wilfred Jordan has been transferred from Weyerhaeuser's Longview branch as personnel manager on the site.
Foundations have been poured for the planing. mill, and building erection will begin soon. Forms for many of the other foundations have been placed. Two pile drivers are busy setting the solid bases needed for the many buildings, such as the sawmill.
Construction is under direct supervision of John Gischel, who was in charge of Weyerhaeuser's Springfield sawmill project. Assisting him is O. D. McCarty. Resident engineer Del Hilliard represents Weyerhaeuser's Engineering Department, which designed the sawmill buildings, under the direction of T. S. Abel.
forcing fibtes that make sIsltruFT so strong and tough ! That's why it's so easy for one man to apply it fast, without ripping or tearing. That's why it is so satisfactory behind stucco. You don't have to be gentle with sTSALKRAFT . . wet stucco won't punch holes, damage or belly it and you can depend on STSALKRAFT to remain intact in the wall for the life of the building. There is only one srsAr,KRAFT . . . demand the genuine ! Stocks are available now for prompt delivery.
The sisal fibres are embedded between two layers of asphalt that binds together the sheets of strong kraft paper. This high grade asphalt makes sIsALKRATT moisture-resistant . . . just what you need behind stucco . and it meets FHA requirements for this purpose.

Application costs are low, because one man can apply more sTSALKRAFT in less time than it takes with paper that rips easily.

Patience Ie Essential
"I am convinced that of all qualities esoential to leaderohip, none ie more important than the capacity for patience. Many a man who has both imagination and courage fails to reach the top becauee he expects the crowd to follow his pace. The mob is always a laggard. People, in the main, have only limited vision. They are elow-witted, slow-moving. Original thinking ie, in fact, almoet completcly abeent from the mental proceEses of the average man. Our lives and mindn are moulded into Patterns, pursuc grooves. A new idea hurts at first. Humans have the same properties of inertia characteristic of matter: wc tend to keep on in thc same direction, when set in motion' While at rest, we tcnd eternally to remain so' Let not the leader rail at the sluggi,sh comprehension of the pack' For he will never be free from this compulsion to be patient."-Henry Earnshaw.
Brothers And Sons
By Douglas Malloch
On a dirty foor in a slimY bar
In the ante-room of hell, I have seen them stand with a devil's leer, I have heard the tales theY tell.
I have heard them brag of the brutish things
I have heard them boast of shame, Till I longed again for the Jewish God
For the God who 6mote with fame'
And I wondered much if there lingered still, Not a dream of boYhood's land, Not a tender thought of a mother's kiss, Or a touch of a sister's hand.
For we wander far, and the years go by' And the boyhood vision fades, Yet we are the sons of the mothers of men, And brother to all the maids.
For a woman's name and a woman's fame, They are sweet and frail as flowers, But the strength to wield and the arm to shield For the woman's name' are ours.
Let the God-made man keep his God-made trust
Till his life's last twilight fades,
For we are the sons of the mothers of men, And brothers to all the maids.
Vision
Vision plays an important part in bttsiness success' The man who looks not only ahead but all around him, will see opportunities that are entirely missed by men in the petty
routine of immediate afrairs. Without viaion, ideds are impoesible. The spirit of service, the sincere intent to win one's way in the world, thc carnest cndeavor to deliver ju,st a little morc than is expected-these are the products Lf .ri"ion. It takes vision to 8ee that a busineEE is built' not of single orders, but of cuEtomefs. Customers can be carved only from the solid rock of service'
The Tie That Bindg
Give me a wild tie, brother, One with a cosmic urge, A tie that will wear And rip and tear
When it sees my old blue serge.
Oh some will say that a gent's cravat, Should only be seen, not heard, But I want a tie that wlll make men cry' And render their vision blurred. I yearn, I long for a tie so strong, It will take two men to tie it, If such there be, just show it to me, Whatever the Price-I'll buY it.
Give me a wild tie, brother, One with a lot of sins, A tie that will blaze In a hectic haze
Down where the vest begins.
Brevity
An English cub reporter had been soundly lectured by the city editor for relating too many details in hia news stories, and warned to be brief in future. The next day he handed in the following story: "shooting affair last night. Sir Dwight Hopeless, a guest at Lady Panmore's ball, complained of being depressed. He took a highball, his hat, his coat, his departure, no notice of his friends, a taxi, a pistol, and finally his life. Nice chap. Regrets, and all that."
The WhisPer
Up where the samite mountains rise, To greet the blue ethereal skies, And streamlets murmur midst the trees, To join the great eternal seas; The breezes whisper as theY stir The branches of the stately Fir"May fortune's sunlight o'er you play, Make life a gladsome holidaY !"

The Commercial lmportance of Lodgepole Pine Lumber
ging of l-odgepole on a commercial scale is carried on chiefly in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming. Idaho, Montana, Washington and ()regon.
The tree has a characteristically straight, slim, gradually tapering trunk with compact, conical crown and rarely attains a height of more than 85 feet or a diameter of more than 20 inches. In typical stands, average diameter is 12 inches and height from 45 to 65 feet.
I.odgepole pine is straight grained with narrow rings in which small bands of sttmmerwood are moderately conspicuous llut relatively small. The sapwood is almost white and usually from about one to two inches thick' Ileartwood color is only slightly darker than sapwood and varies from a clear yellow or yellowish-brown to a pale brown tinged with red. The wood from trees grown in dense stands is fine grained and that frotu open stands moderately coarse. Iloth have the characteristic resinous odor and taste of the pines.
Lodgepole pine is classified as one of the soft pines and is very near Ponderosa I'ine in weight, strength and hardness. Specific gravity is .41 when the wood is dried to 12 per cent moisture content-in the lorver half of the.31 to .55 softrvood range. It rveighs 29 pounds per cullic foot at 12 per ccnt moisture content.
The species is easily worketl and takes paint well' Knot resins do not bleed, so knots reqttire no sealing pritlr to paint application. Lodgepole lends itself readily to standard commercial preservatives and is usually treated when intended for ttse in contact with the soil.
I-odgepole pine trees, growing in scattered areas throughout most of the trvelve states comprising the Western Itine' Itegion, for years stood virtually untouched by the axes of commercial loggers. Relatively small, they rvere passed over-their lunrber uses unexplorecl-in f avor of larger species of pine and other softwoods.
I-odgepole was cut for local use, for poles, timbers, ties and general utility purposes but the species remained largely unknown outside its growth region.
\\rith the unprecedented dernand of recent years, howcver, Lodgepole pine became a commercially important softrvood and distribution of its lumber spread throughout the United States. Today it is a widely recognized material for most building purposes.
Lodgepole pine takes its name from the early use by L-rdians of the small-sized trees for pole supports in their tepees. It grows in dense, pure stands throughout western United States and is manufactured into lumber by mills in the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest.
The total stand of Lodgepole pine sawtimber in the \A/estern Pine region-an area comprised by the 11 rvestern states east of the Cascades and the California coast range, plus the Black Hills of South Dakota-is estimated to be in excess ol 22 brllion board feet. Post-war production averages approximately 80 rnillion board feet annually. Log-
In common l'ith the other soft pines, it ltas a low coeflicient of shrinkage and su'elling after it is properly seas<rnecl. I)ried fr<lm a green state d<>wn t<t 12 tt> 15 per cent moisture content, it rvill shrink 5.8 per cent by volume. Its lon' shrinkage and srvelling gives it an excellent dimensional stability after installation.
Nail-hol<ling power of Lodgepole pine is good. It is slightly more resistant to nail withdrar'r'al than the other commercially importar-rt soft pines' It is easily glued and the glued joints r,t'ill hold up extremely rvell under stress'
I-oclgepole pine lunrber is adaptabte to any purpose for t,hich lumber can be used and its relative lightness coupled rvith easy u,'orkability means economy either in plant or on job site. It machines to smooth, satiny surfaces and exact profiles to produce excellent drop, bevel and log cabin siding, paneling and moulding patterns.
Lodgepole pine trees yield only a small portion of clear Iumber but a high percentage of No. 1 and No' 2 Common' Knots are characteristically small and sound. Widths are ('. 6". 8" and 10" u'ith a small amount available in l7'' Lengths run from 6' b 2A- Selects and commons are customarily furnished in 1" thickness only. Factory lumber is not classified as such in Lodgepole pine.
Ir-r lumber form, the species is used for siding, sheathing and subflooring, paneling, architectural woodwork and a host of miscellaneous uses' As siding, it has long been wide-

ly used in residential and commercial buildings in areas adjacent to its growth range but now has spread into all sections of the nation with increased commercial production.
Its high dimensional stability, fine naiting properties and ability to take and hold paint coverings suit it perfectly to top quality siding. Common grades of Lodgepole may be used for siding without sealing the knots before painting, for the knots do not bleed. It is available in a wide variety of patterns.
Good insulation quatities, resistance to splitting and stifiness of Lodgepole pine-atop its dimensional stability, smooth milling and accurate sizing-make it an excellent sheathing and subflooring material. Iiasily workable, its use permits minimum on-site construction costs. Roof decking, which requires the same general material ProPerties as sheathing and subflooring, is another important use.
For architectural woodwork and paneling-which demand high dimensional stability, unmarred milling and excellent paint and stain holding characteristics-Lodgepole pine is a top quality material. Soft-textured, readily workable with hand or machine tools and easily nailed without splitting, it is quickly installed and is availbale in patterns and sizes to fit most stock and special woodwork re<luirements.
The characteristically small, sound knots of Lodgepole pine make it a distinctive wood for knotty pine paneling and matching woodwork such as doors, cabinets, mouldings, etc. Any of the vast range of modern finish stains, paints or varnishes may be applied to produce any interior or exterior decoration theme from early American to postwar modern.
I-odgepole pine lumber is inherently adaptable to nearly all uses in residential and light commercial construction lvhere exceptional strength is not required. As studding, stringers, plates and concrete forms, it is used widely and successfully.
Large quantities of I-odgepole pine lumber are sold for industrial manufacture into furniture, vehicle parts, crating, supports, caskets, shelving, small enclosures, toys and other specialties.
Its soft texture permits smooth and accurate milling to detailed moulding patterns. And the resistance to splitting, and good nailing characteristics of the wood mean easy installation and fine serviceability of the mouldings in use.
l,odgepole pine lumber is graded under the current published grading rules of the Western Pine association and is separated into select, common and dimension grades. It is distributed throughout most of the United States from mills centrally located in the Rocky Mountain area and in the northwest. In some instances, it is available in mixed cars together with an assortment of one or more of the Western pines and associated woods.

John C. Moorc, son of Stanley C. Moore, was appointed :rssistant nlanager, and put in chargc <lf sales of Fir-Tex of Southcrn California in l.'cbruary.
LIc has been with thc company since 1946, when he got out of the Artny Air Force in which he had been a pilot. He was four years on the road for Fir-Tex in the Coastal territory, which includes the San Fernando Valley, and reaches as far north as Santa Maria and Tehachapi.
I-Iis younger brother, Stanley C. Moore, Jr., has succeeded him, and is now calling on the trade in the territory formerlv covered bv Tohn.
Truck Dcrmcges Lumber Compcny
The air brakes on a huge moving van went out on Cajon pass recently and the van thundered down the pass, sideswipcd one car, ploughed through the front of the display room of the Fred A. Chapin Lumber Co. at Mt' Vernon and Highland avenues in San Bernardino, and pinned another car against the lumber stacks. The most serious casualty was the driver of the van whd was taken to the hospital in a serious condition. Thomas Chapin, owner of the lumber company, said it was a miracle that many people were not hurt, as the store is usually filled with customers at the time of day the accident happened.
Will Conduct Wholescrle Lumber Business
Henry J. Eckstein, president of the Henry J. Eckstein Lumber Corp., has established offices at 1790 Broadway, New York 19, N. Y., and will carry on a general wholesale lumber business. Mr. Eckstein was formerly president of Cooney, Eckstein & Co., Inc. from 1906 to 1935, when he organized Foresta Factors which has been discontinued.

Ncw International \(/ecternr Haul Logr for Diamond Match
I'ortland, Ore., April 6-The Western l'ine Association today name<l ltatph l). Ho<lges of Vancottver, Wash', to the post <lf <listrict forest engineer for California'
A mentber of the 1942 class in forestry at University of California an<t ;1 fortner Navy pilot, Hodges has been a forcster in thc I'acific Northlvest sincc 1946' Aftcr scver;rl montlts nrarket experiencc with t wholesale lunrber firm in San Iiratrcisco folltltving his separation fr<lm servicc, he joinetl l)orteotts & Company, Seattle, as a timber cruiscr. In l94tt, Hodges became associated with the Harb<lr l'lvwood corl)orati()n on a timller inventrlry projcct in the l-ewis river are:r in the state of Washington.
"The a<ldition of Mr. FI<ldges to the forestry staff,"
Thc Diamond Match Company recently added six big, new, Model W-6564-OH International Western trucks to its fleet for hauling togs from one of its extensive timber properties in northern California east of Chico' Each truck has a wheclbase of 230 inchcs and a Hall-Scott engine that develops 276 hp. at 1900 r.P.m. Trailers have l0-foot bunks.
Logs, averaging 800 feet in size, 32 fcet in length, and l6 to 38 inches in diameter are hauled an average of 5 miles to a railroad siding at Cold Springs. Then, they go by cornpany-operated railroad another 39 miles to Stirling City where one of a number of Diamond Match's sawmills operated in various parts of the country is located' The logs are chiefly Douglas fir, sugar pine, Ponderosa pine, and u,hite fir. At the Stirling City mill, which produces some 50,000,000 feet a year, the logs are sawed into rough lumber for distribution among the company's 70 retail yards in California located chiefly in the Sacramento River Valley and also for a wood products plant at Chico' A total 264 trucks serve Diamond Match's retail yards in Sacramento River Valley, its Chico plant, and its logging show based on the Stirling City mill.
Operations have been condttcted in the Polk Springs rcgion a year, and timber is available for another year's procluction. Then they will be 'carried on farther on in Rouncl Valley to which a private road is now being built and from which hauls to railroad siding will average 16 miles. Roads are of volcanic cinders and very durablv constructed, rvhich means so much in speedier, safer, and nrore efficient operation and much less wear and tear on trucks, trailers, and tires.
The Diamond Match Company is much more diversified in its output than its name implies. Only one log out of five that it cuts, for instance, is utilized in the manufacture of matches. The others are made into lumber as mentioned above and also a variety of wood products such as toilet tissue, paper towels and napkins, waxed paper' and various pulp articles such as food containers and plates, also lvooden forks and spoons, clothespins, toothpicks, lollipop sticks, beehives and frames, etc'
The California Timber Division of The Diamond Match Company has compiled a very complete booklet entitled "Operating Procedure Rules" which includes a variety of safety do's and don'ts not only for its transportation department but also for its construction department and for employees using explosives and those working on tractors. rock crushers, and other equipment'
