The warehouse they formerly occupied has been taken over bv the California Panel & Veneer Company, thus greatly increasing their warehouse space and facilities foi handli.,g the many items now stocked. They now have delivery doors on Alameda Street, 14th Street, and McGarry Streei.

Other lines which have been recently added to the regu_ lar stock of plywoods include Cal-Board hardwood pr.rll., a sensational new economy plywood, and New Londoner hardwood hollow core doors manufactured by the American Plywood Corporation.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells, And not a damn petunia.

(Dedicated to the Garden Clubs)

!f :f {.

The other day I talked to a lumber convention. Before I started a lady in the crowd recalled that she heard me talk in that same city in the year 1912, and that I recited a short verse called "Sam's Girl." She wanted to know if I could still recall the words. I could. It goes like this:

Sam's girl is tall and slender, My girl is short and low, Sam's girl wears silks and satins, My girl wears calico, Sam's girl is fast and sporty, My girl is pure and good, Think I'd trade my girl for Sam's girl? Why you know darn well I would!

The most important ";.": .i", ,"""" the people of the United States today, is the Logan-Walter bill, that recently passed the lower House of Congress by a great majority. It is vital to the well-being of every man and woman in this country that this bill pass. It will be bitterly fought in the Senate. And all on earth that this bill proposes to do is give back to American citizens the privileges granted them in the Bill of Rights. It would allow a citizen who felt himself to be aggrieved, to turn to the courts for help, by asking the reviewing of the acts and rules and regulations of the Governmental bureaus, more ttran a hundred in number.

These bureaus are appointed. They make rules and regulations of their own, and these rules and regulations become the law. That some of these bureaus and commissions consider themselves above the law, is plainly manifested in their activities. It is simply to give the citizen protection against arbitrary and unfair rulings of the bureaus, that is the aim and sole purpose of the LoganWalter bill.

Every bit of possible help should be mustered in the

next few weeks to get the bill passed. It is being freely predicted that the President will veto it, even if its opponents fail to kill it in the Senate. Be that as it may, the bill should be passed, and let the record be clear. The old line Democratic Beaumont Enterprise, published in Beaumont, Texas, recaps its demand for the passage of the bill in this fashion:

"The courts remain the bulwark of American liberties. The Logan-Walter bill is intended to curb bureaucratic autocracy, chiefy by making all of the official acts of bureaucratic agencies subject to judicial review. The mere fact that bureaucrats oppose this measure, proves that they do not want abuses growing out of bureaucracy to be corrected or their acts to be subject to court review. If the bureaucrats were disinterested, if their conduct were legal, if they were genuinely patriotic and had the welfare of the American people at heart, instead of lusting for' power and still more power, what reason would they have to fear the courts?" {.{.*

A friend of mine says he discovered just the other day why Germany invaded Scandinavia. A few days after the world had gasped at this latest manifestation of ghoulishness, American newspapers printed some facts about present-day rations in Germany, and what they cost. And when he found that coffee costs $32 a pound in Germany today, and even then isn't fit to drink, he made up his mindbeing a coffee hound-that that is u/hat is driving Germany to such desperate measures; the desire to get coffee to drink. A coffee-drinking nation that cannot get coffee, says my friend, gets in the fix of the dope-user who can't get dope. Anyway, that's his idea. ***

Ben Franklin said: "Time is money." But he meant when time is employed at some $'orth-while work. Ben was the most useful nation has ever produced. ffe was a great sci great linguist, a great diplomat, a famous t philosopher, a great economist, a great a great citizen. He went to France and borrowed money that Washington needed to win the War. He built the first cook stove, invented the first spectacles, founded the University of Pennsylvania,

(Continued from Page 6) founded first public library, harnessed the lightning in a modest way, and became the richest man of his day and generation. ***

,i' Ben Franklin worshipped two gods here on earth-work / and thrift. He was the greatest preacher, teacher, and I practicer of thrift this nation has ever known. He f U"f"rr"d that from thrift all good things come, and that I

I few good things come without it. With regard to religion

this great thinking man had the simplest of beliefs. He \ said he believed that the Power that put him here and cared for him here was well able to care for him wherever he was going when he left here, and he did not propose to :vorry further on the matter.

* rl. !S

ITo acknowledge a mistake is simply to admit that you are wiser today than you were yesterday. The only men who make no mistakes are infallible; and a man who considers himself infallible is cracked. AU big men mahe many mistakes-and admit them. The sure sign of his bigness is his willingness to make such admissions. It is a mighty small soul that meets honest and courageous criticism with arrogance and vindictiveness.

J. P. Morgan, the elder, once said that he would unhesitatingly lend a million dollars to a man of the right character; that credit was simply character. When asked what character consisted of, he said: "Morality, intelligence, and right intent." He said when a man came to him for financial assistance, the first thing he asked was not "what is your collateral?" but rather "what is your record, what are your intentions, what are your morals, what is your intelligence?"

**!&

Today if a man of that sort of "character" asked a banker for a loan, instead of the questions Mr. Morgan said he asked, Mr. Banker of today would ask "how much less can you us€, how much interest can you pay, and how

soon can you return what little I let you have?" Helpfulness, in banking today, is found only in the dictionary.

One change in present-day banking annoys me most of all For years and years the banks advertised to the small fry of the nation, the housewife, the wageFearner: "Keep your money in the bank-pay.by check." And millions fell for it, and got into the habit. Today if your wife tried keeping her house money in the bank and paying by check the service charge would give her an overdraft every month. "Things have changed since Willie died."

Elbert Hubbard wrote a generation ago: "Ife who makes war on business removes the houses, takes bread from mouths, leaves naked to the storm. replaces confidence , hope with dread, love with hate, and robs meny'their right to work This country was built on 'We are a nation of workers, builders, inventors, tors, and producers." {<

How truel Business built this nation. We created our own power and greatness- Wy'did not inherit it. We dug it from the ground, from the earth, transported, manufactured, refined ag{rnerchandised it, until we became richer and stronger any nation has ever been; likewise Our power and glory was built on business. J9lfi Enterpriser was the citizen who did it all. And our prosperity and happiness will depend entirely the continued health and happiness of free

Some men cultivate their faults hoping that some nice girl will take pity on them and marry them to reform them.

Santa Cruz Yard Has Handsome New Building

Above is shown a picture of the new office and rvarehouse building of Hebbron Lumber Company, Santa Cruz, Calif. It is one of the best looking lumber yard offices in the State and it will be well worth any lumberman's while to go and see it when visiting Santa Cruz.

The walls of the building are of Ginch concrete to comply with fire regulations. Redwood Rustic is used on the outside. The main office is 32 feet wide and 27 f.eet deep. Effective use has been made on the inside walls of lxl2 moulded edge Redwood paneling, applied vertically on the upper part of the walls and horizontally on the lower part. The vertical paneling is finished with driftwood grey stain.

The private office is finished in natural Redwood. Ceilings of both offices are of Certain-teed insulating board. The floors of the offices and warehouse are of concrete and the office floors are covered with Johns-Manville green floor tile. A fireproof Bx12 concrete vault has been built to take care of the books and office records.

A remarkable feature of the main office is the counter, made from a single piece,27 inches wide and 32 feet long.

The warehouse at the rear is 24x6O feet. This houses stocks of sash, doors, panels and veneer. One room just off the office displays the stock of builders' hardrvare and paints. This yard specializes in Martin-Senour paints. Certain-teed roofing is carried.

Certain-teed l5-inch, thick butt shingles were used on the front part of the roof, and Dri-Lap corrugated sheets on the back.

All of the Redwood used in the building was supplied by Monterey Bay Redwood Company. The nerv building replaces the temporary structure which was used as an office since the former office building was destroyed in an incendiary fire about three years ago.

The yard is well arranged for the convenience of customers. It is all hard surfaced and has two driveways. About 65 per cent of the lnmber sales are of Redwood.

Lloyd M. Hebbron is president of Hebbron Lumber Company. He is well known and liked both locally and throughout Northern California lumber circles. He is naturally a great booster for Santa Cruz, which is growing in importance as a summer and tourist resort.

Retailers' Agsociation

A. E. Fickling, Fickling Lumber Company, Long Beach, was elected president of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association at the annual meeting held at the Elks Club, Los Angeles, Saturday, April 13, 1940.

Offices and Laboratory

The American Lumber & Treating Co. announces renroval of its offices and laboratory, effective May 1, to the McCormick Bldg., 332 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago.

A. E. FicHiugt

Harry E. Whittemore, Benson Lumber Company, San Diego, was elected vice-president, and Gerald Curran, Curran Bros., Pomona, was reelected treasurer. Cr W. Pinkerton, Los Angeles, is secretafy-manager.

The business session began at 2:ffi p.m. and was followed by a talk on the California Unfair Practices Act by Professor Sheldon Elliott of the University of Southern California Law School. Professor Elliott answered many questions regarding the Act.

After the business session adjourned, there was an old-fashioned lumbermen's pow-wow when the dealers met and exchanged views.

Dinner was served at 6:30 p.m. with about 100 present, including the dealers, their wives and guests. President Fickling acted as chairman and called on John W. Fisher, retiring president, Harry Lake, F. Dean Prescott, Kenneth Smith, and C. C. Cashwell, who made short talks.

This move brihgs the company's home office and its laboratory, located for the past five years at separate addresses, under one roof. Executive, operating and sales offices are in Suite 1650, while the technical offices and laboratory occupy Suite 2034, in the top story of the building.

The new laboratory, designed for chemical and physical research, as well as routine control of operations for the company's 14 wood preserving plants, is one of the most completely equipped of its type in the industry.

L. A. GODARD VISITS SOUTHLAND

New single-family dwellings in the United States have an average cost slightly in excess of $5,000. It is pointed out that this average may come down in the near future owing to the large number of houses now being built to cost less than $2,500.

Increasing Demand for SUPER-Harbord Brings Dealerr New Business

"There's no limit to the practical uses of SUPER-Harbord (the resin fused) hot plate plywood," states George E. Ream of the Geo. E. Ream Company, Los Angeles.

"When SUPER-Harbord, the original outdoor plywood, was first introduced to the dealer trade many buyers were skeptical about the claims for a plywood so reasonably priced that would actually withstand constant exposure to moisture and moisture changes. These same buyers and dealers today are SUPER-Harbord's best boosters and are cashing in on their sales of this fine product," continues Mr. Ream.

"The binder and the press constitute the two basic reasons for SUPER-Harbord's claim to great outdoor durability. First, the patented artificial resin substance and second, the modern hot plate presses, which fuse the plies together to form one solid piece of lumber with all the advantages of lamination. The cross banded construction of SUPER-Harbord minimizes its twisting and warping, and in addition gives it great strength. It will not split or crack and expansion and contraction, due to temperature changes, are nil. The product may be boiled indefinitely without effecting the bond, so securely have the plies been fused. Having successfully withstood practical service uses in locations of extreme conditions-from cycles of drenching in tropical climates to disintegrating effects generated by the actinic rays of the desert sun, and from subzero temperatures in refrigerating units to humid atmospheres of seed culture beds, its value has been proven to the construction industry, making it a leader in the lumber dealers plywood sales.

"The sales opportunities for SUPER-Harbord are constantly increasing due to its diversified uses and consumer acceptance. Today's markets include house and farm buildings, concrete forms, boats, signs, cold rooms, vats, truck bodies, trailers, dry kilns, shelters, dairy, laundry and ice-house equipment-plus the many undiscovered uses of tomorrow.

"SUPER-Harbord is manufactured in all standard sizes and thicknesses and stocked in our warehouse, together with a complete line of all other Harbor Plywood products. Through our Friendly Dealers Service we distribute to the recognized wholesale trade.

"The future of the dry-built house is decidedly on the optimistic side, with a nation-wide interest in this type of home construction gaining popular favor, all of which lends a pleasing outlook for SUPER-Harbord."

SPRINGTIME

When last I faced the wind upon this hill, And looked across the valley white and still, I marked no sign of life on bush or tree, Lost in their thoughts they waited silently.

But now the lovely miracle of Spring Pours throbbing beauty into everything; This is no time for bitterness or griefThe hand of God has touched each blade and leai.

Surely the One that glorifies this hourThe One that brings the barren branch to flower, Will leave no reassuring word untold, Nor let a child sleep lonely in the cold.

And then, of course, there was the little Scotch boy who was saving his toys for his second childhood.

Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. His memory is a benediction.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Precision -Cutting Increases Plywood Sales

A fine example of the profits that lie in good merchandising of lumber products is furnished by the BrownDauser Co. of Fullerton, California. Like many yards, they received frequent requests for odd-size pieces of Douglas-fir plywood from home-owners and youthful builders who wanted exact dimensions to fit a particular project. For a time, these sales were accommodated by taking the panels to the small mill run in connection with their building suppy business but as the demand for plywood increased, it was evident that much time was being wasted.

It was then that E. Steffensen, g.eneral manager of the concern, had an ingenious sawing table designed and placed in their plywood stockroom which has both eliminated the time formerly used in carrying panels to the shop and has brought a definite increase in plywood sales.

As pictured here, tl,e unit consists of a portable electric saw mounted on a rigid platform above the table. The saw is clamped to a small block and slides along steel guides, assuring the square and smooth edge that customers want. Extending along one side of the table is a strip to which the panels are squared; the rulings on its inner side permitting rapid and easy measuring.

The saw is fastened to the carriage by set screws and in releasing these, it can be lifted and turned at a 90o angle to act as a rip saw. During this operation, the saw is fastened to the platform by the steel plate at its back, which also acts as a safety guard. Sliding extensions on the table ends allow panels up to l2-ft. in length to be ripped with no difficulty. A further innovation is the counter_

balanced arm which prevents the electric cord from interfering with operations.

Mr. Steffensen reported that after the table had been installed, there rvas a definite gain in their fir plywood sales, even though a charge is made for all dimension cutting. Another profit was found, too, in their scrap-pile, since many pieces that were once thrown away can now be saved to take care of orders for small sizes of exact measurement. "People in our city," he stated, "are learning that we can give them immediate and satisfactory service and it is certainly reflected in our sales increases."

ANCIENT GLASS BLOCKS

Many indications have been found that glass blocks first were manufactured many centuries ago, possibly as long ago as 2,000 years. Recently a panel of glass blocks was found in an ancient wall in Germany which apparently had been put there by the Romans during their occupation of that part of Europe. The block was evidently handblown.

Ride 'em Cowboy

The accompanying picture was not taken at a rodeo, roundup, dude ranch, or on a motion picture location. It's the real McCoy.

In the early days of the Southwest when Kansas was "way out West," the longhorn steer was the king of the range from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. There are not many in existence today, but when Clint Laughlin of Los Angeles, manager of the Southern California Wholesale Lumber Association, was on a recent trip to Beaumont, Texas, as he was passing through the city of Orange in that state, he caught a glimpse of a longhorn steer, so decided to ride the animal and have his picture taken. A glance at the photograph is evidence enough that he enjoyed the experience very much. And

Clint states that he will be glad to make an affidavit that the steer is a live animal.

Now, Clint is very conversant about longhorn cattle. Says they were brought to America by the Spaniards, were hardy and active animals, had an aggressive disposition and were a favorite breed among old-time cattlemen. The horns of some of the cattle, he says, had a spread of six and seven feet from tip to tip.

Inexpensivc Hardwood Panel for Homes GRAVES FLAT TYPE

The demand for an inexpensive hardwood panel for use in the average modern home is being supplied in a very satisfactory manner by the new Cal-Board hardwood plywood, distributed exclusively by California Panel & Veneer Company, Los Angeles.

Cal-Board is a sound-l-side grade of hardwood panel with all three plies being hardwood and is sold at about half the price of regular cabinet grades. It is made by the hot-plate method, glued with urea resin glue and is highly water-resistant. The woods in which it is now available are: Sliced Walnut, Birch, Unselected Gum, Elm, Genuine Mahogany, and Plain Oak.

"Cal-Board has proven to be a very popular Dealer item," says W. F. Fahs, sales manager, "and is being used in many places where hardwood plywood was heretofore prohibited because of cost."

Lumbermen's Post Will Meet May 14

Lumbermen's Post No.4O3 of the American Legion was entertained at their last meeting by L. E. Glick, owner of Bird Wonderland. Mr. Glick gave a very interesting talk on his trips to the jungles of Asia and other countries and on bringing back birds and animals for sale and for use in the movies. J. .W. Mcleod, vice president of Cadwallader-Gibson Company, Los Angeles, was chairman.

The next meeting, which will be held Tuesday evening, May 14, has been designated as Ladies' Night, and Commander Alexander has a very interesting program arranged. Judge Clarence Kincaid will be the speaker of the evening. All lumbermen and legionnaires are invited.

Lumbermen's Post is very unique in that it is doing a great deal of Boy Scout work. At the present time the Post is sponsoring three separate units, namely: a Boy Scout Troop in Culver City; a ship of Sea Scouts composed entirely of Eagle Scouts, and a Boy Scout Drum and Bugle Corps of twenty-eight members.
