IHE greatest piece oI merchandise on the market today is the War Bond. And American merchants have done a magnificent job. in selling them! A national Spl-lOl chain store company sold $53,464,389 in War Bonds and Stamps in 1943. A NewYork Department store with a volume in excess of $10,000,000 sold War Bonds in 1943 eguivalent to 40.6% of t}eir total merchandise sales.
Iour War Bond sales figures may not rank with these in omount. But there's no reason why you can't top these f igures percentage-wise! It's just the old story o{ getting behind the merchandiseand selling harder! A shrewd merchandiser in Kentucky devoted his entire 1943 advertising lineage348,000
lines-exclusively to orr*nn the sale of War Bonds, Mounting War Bond sales will bring this war to a victorious close just that much the sooner! Bulthere's another side to the picture, too. Stable, profitable trade after the war demands a sfob/e buying public. 'Flash-in-the-pan' buying harms everybody-the buyer, the merchant, ond our country! But a solvent, thrifiy, bond ioldrng, buying public that fills its actual needs-ond,keeps on filling them yeor in ond yeor out in ever greoter volume-isthe soundest possible foundation for successful commercial enterprise.

Washington, April 20-No lreeze on lumber will be imposed on April 25, the date on which reports are due from major ,consumers of lumber, WPB Lumber and Lumber Products Division said today in a statement clarifying the Lumber Control Order L-335.

required to file for lumber for this purpose. If this plant lras not filed its WPB-36,{O by April 25, it may not receive any lumber for boxing, crating and production material, but it may receive the 100,000 board feet for tfre approved construction.
'
"For all lumber users except those u'ho are Class I consumers, as defined in Order L-335, April 25 is just another' date on the calendar. The order does not apply to thenr and present orders governing the distribution and use o{ lumber remain in effect.
"Class I consumers are those who need more than 50,000 board feet of lumber per quarter to manufacture products, for maintenance, repair and operating supplies-and for shipping their products, boxing, crating, dunnage. They are the only ones who must file Form WPB-364O on or before April 25. If the form is filed, these lumber users will also continue to receive lumber under existing orders. FIowever, a Class I consumer rvho has not filed the form may not receive any lumber after April 25 lor uses 'n'hich he should have reported."
Lumber for certain uses need not be reported. For example, an industrial plant may require 60,000 board feet of lumber in the third quarter for boxing, crating and production material. The plant should file Form WPB-3640 for this lumber. The plant may also require 100,000 board feet for construction which has been expressll' authorized by the War Production Board under L-41. The plant is not
The prohibition on receiving lumber if the form is not filed extends to all lumber, whether or not the species are controlled under other lumber orders, whether the lumber is produced by large or small mills, and whether ordered from a mill or from a distribution yard.
Any products not classed as lumber as clefined in Order L-335 are not controlled by the order. These include hardrvood flooring, box shook, millwork, small dimension stock, nlolding, shingles, and plywood and veneer.
A Class I consumer who has filed Form WPB-36,10 and discovers that he has made an error, or that his lumber requirements will be greater than he estimated, should prepare a corrected application on the Form WPB-3640 and send it to WPB indicating that it is a "revised application."
"It rvill take some time to tabulate tl-re applications, to make lumber allotments for different uses and to grant purchase authorizations," Division Officials said. "Class I consumers should not expect an acknowledgement from WPB of the Receipt of Form 3640, nor an immediate purchase authorization.
"IJntil Order L-335 is revised to set up a new control over lumber distribution and purchase authorizations are then given, Class I consumers who have filed their applications on time and all lumber users who are not Class I consumers 'lvill continue to receive lumber under present lumber orders."

Washington, D. C., April 18-The increasingly heavy demand of War Agencies, particularly the Army, for Douglas Fir boards and dimension-lumber cut in thicknesses up to 2 inches and usecl for crating and dunnage and in the construction of cantonments and hospitals-led the Office of Price Administratior-r today to increase existing price ceilings on several grades of this lumber in order to stimulate greater production.
At the same time, ceilings on some of the larger sizes, planks and timbers, were, reclucecl to aid in accomplishing this result.
Increased production of boards and dimension will require Douglas Fir sawmills to curtail production of planks and timbers. This will involve a complete reversal of their normal production methods and result in increased costs, OPA declared. Tl.re nerv price ceilings, which will not increase the over-all realization of the industry, have taken these factors into consideration.
The War Production Board have assured OPA that they expect to issue whatever directions are necessary to carry out this production program.
The amendment to the Douglas Fir regulation, which becomes effective April 18, 1944, provides for these changes. However, the amendment is made effective for only ninety days, with a provision that it may be continued if the need for boards and dimension remains urgent and the mills demonstrate an abilitl' to increase their production of these items to meet the requirements.
Cost experience acquired during this ninety-day period will determine whether revision of these prices will be necessary. At present, little data are available on the costs involved in shifting production from planks ancl timbers to boards and dimension.
Changes effected by this action are reflected in another amendment issued by OPA today and .ivhich becomes effective the same date.
The latter action deletes a provision from tl.re regulation covering distribution yard sales of softrvood r,vhich permitted the yards to compute their selling prices on West Coast lumber on the basis of the original size plus costs of resawing or remanufacturing operations performed by them.
Because of the urgent need for boards and dimension, it rvas considered desirable to permit yards to make this. addition so that they rvoulcl use their remanufacturing facilities. Horvever, the increased price differential provided by the other amendment betrveen timbers and boards and dimension, amounting to approximately $6, is considered adequate to cover 'costs of similar operations performed by the distribution yarcl. Deletion of the original provision places distribution yards strictly on an end product pricing basis.
The follorving increases are providecl in the amendment to the Douglas Fir amendment:
1. Select Merchantable, No. 1 and No. 2 boards; $4.50 per thousand board feet, No. 3 and No. 4 boards, $6.50 per thousand board feet.
2. The differential between green and dry boards, increased $1 per thousand board feet on No. 2 and higher grades.
3. Select Structural, No. 1 and No. 2 dimension, $1 per thousand board feet. This increase is smaller because of the larger sizes and because the demand is not so acute as for boards. Hemlock dimension is increased $2 to the same price as Fir. During the present emergency both species can be used interchangeably in dimension and equalization of the price will simplify the sale and shipment of mixed lots of Hemlock and Douglas Fir.
The prices of Select Structural, No. 1 and No. 2, plank and small timbers 3, 4 and 6 inches are redttced $1 per thousand board feet. The prices of heavy timbers are reduced $2 per thousand board feet.
OPA pointed out that before the war the Douglas Fir industry as a whole cut approximately 10 per cent o{ its total production into boards. At present the output is 30 per cent of total production due to wartime clemands and today's action is expected to raise this to at least 5O per cent of total production.
Because of the prior demands of the Army and Navy, only a very limited amount of boards and dimension vvill reach the consuming public.
The changes provided by these two amendments, together with a new supplementary service regulation placing custom milling on a specific dollars-and-cents basis, also effective today, will result in equalizing Douglas Fir prices by making the end product price uniform at the mill and distribution yard levels, OPA declared.
This will reduce the price of some Douglas Fir sold in retail yards and will compensate for increases in boards manufactured by the mills. The net effect of these t'lvo amendments and the custom milling regulation rvill be to balance off against decreases and to prevent any increase in the cost of living.
Amendment No. 7 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 26-Douglas Fir and other West Coast lumbereffective April 18, 1944.

By JCD.The other day I watched a terrific bit of movie news. It was the destruction by American airmen of the Monte Cassino Monastery, in war torn Cassino in Italy. And as I watched that huge structure crumble, I was reminded of the coat of arms of that famous old monastery. Because the emblem shown on that coat of arms is an oak tree. And the motto that accompanies the coat of a1s15 is-"$uccessa Virescit," which when interpreted into English means: "Even if cut down this tree will grow green again." And as I witnessed the picture of destruction I said to myself : "If it does, it's SOME tree."
According to publisheu t";J, the British have a lot of fun out of their jokes of the moment. They say the whole nation is laughing at these two, one on themselves, the other on the Americans, both slightly sarcastic in tone. The first: Churchill gets a phone call in the middle of the night. The voice on the other end of the wire says: "flello, Winston? This is Joe Stalin ! I'm in Calais ! Corne on over ! It's safe now !" ***
The second bne concerns the fact that the American army is much more generous with decorations for its soldiers than the British Army. A British Tommy comes home from South Africa and finds London filled with American soldiers. A great percentage of them wear decorations, ribbons, or medals of some sort. The Tommy exclaims: "Gor Blimey! Wot an army! Every bloke an tero ltt
A charaateristic American soldier story is that of the Corporal who parked a Jeep on the city street right alongside of a parking meter, then started to walk away without paying any attention to the meter. A cop close by said to him: "IJef, soldier! How about putting a nickel in the parking meter?" The soldier waved to him airly, and said:
"Put one in yourself, chum ! It belong to you as much as it does to me !" * ,.< ,<

An oil man friend of mine handed me a good laugh, telling about a nationally called meeting of the oil industry early in the war's progress, at which oil men from all over the nation were given a lot of advice from government officials. He said Ickes gave them a lecture. Then Leon ffenderson took a turn'at them. Then Biddle laid down the law to them. Just then a bass-voiced g.ry from Wyoming remarked to his neighbor in a whisper that could be heard all over the room: "We should now stand and sing'God Save America."' *x<*
Using a story to drive home a point adroitly, always interests me a lot. The other day I heard an old story used in masterly fashion fqr that purpose. An old Democrat was introducing the Democratic governor of a Democratic state, who was slated to make a speech on Thomas Jefferson. The introducer said: "A man was going through the woods when he met a country boy with a dozen big squirrels on a string, but no gun. The man asked the boy how he killed the squirrels, and the boy said with rocks." The man said: "I'll have to see that," and the boy said: "Find me a squirrel and I'll show you." So they hunted a squirrel, the boy put his left hand in his pocket, pulled out a rock, and knocked the squirrel right smack in the head the first throw. The man said: "Son, you'd make a great southpaw pitcher." The boy said: "What's a southpaw?" and the man said: "A left-handed pitcher." The boy said: "I ain't left-handed, I'm right-handed." The man said: "Then why did you kill that squirrel with your left hand?" and the boy said: "Because when I throw right-handed I tear them to pieces." "And," said the speaker, "our governor has been throwing left-handed so far, but if they don't let the Constitution alone and quit interfering with States' rights, we're going to ask him to start throwing right-handed." I have seldom heard a better illustration, and the crowd, of courserroared. * * :f
In England the government sure plays rough with those who violate the laws covering the use of wood. Recently an old established woodworking firm in London had contracts for building chairs for the government, out of plywood. From the waste and cut-offs that they thus acum-
ulated, they made a lot of smaller wooden things such as bread-boards, towel racks, etc. They were arrested, tried and convicted. The firm was fined fifteen hundred pounds. The manager and owner was fined the same amount and also sentenced to two months in jail. The charge was that he had used this material without a license.
The birthday of Thomas Jefferson was the thirteenth of April. Millions of Americans gave thought at that time to the memory of this man. To call him great would win a championship in an understatement contest. He was far more than that. I had so many beautiful compliments on my remarks in this space on February 15th about Wash' ington and Lincoln, that I yield to the temptation to talk about Jefferson. He challenged those other two great souls for the high spot in the hall of immortal fame. In a threecornered debate as to which was the greatest, Washington, Lincoln, or Jefferson, the debater who drew Jefferson would have much justification for feeling he had done well in the draw. His published words and works are known to every American student. He has been wel called "the timeless statesman." Every word he said, is true today, especially his words about the danger of concentrated power in a government like ours; and the prolongation of power in the hands of any man or group of men.
>Ft<t<-
Jefferson venerated, resp€cted, and loved Washington; as well he might. But he did not consider Washington an indispensable man, and did not think he should serve more
than two terms as President. He felt the same way about himself. More so. Probably no great man ever lived who had in him less love for personal power and glory, than did Jefferson. Even Lincoln could not surpass him there. You see, like Lincoln and Washington, Jefferson had the simple conviction that the great power for good in this world that he manifested and used so freely, flowed not FROM him, but THROUGH him. There is a great difference. And so Jefferson did his great works, yet yearned at all times for retirement to his home and family, and freedom from political entanglements. And as soon as the time came, he dropped the reins of power, and went home as does a bird. Read his own words t * >k ,<
"There are minds that can be pleased by honors and preferments. But I see nothing in them but envy and enmity. I had rather be shut up in a modest cottage with my books, my family, and a few old friends, letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give."
we find him writing .";;t";adison on the same subject: "I have now been in the public service four and twenty years. The motion of my blood no longer keeps time with the tumult of the world. It leads me to seek happiness in the lap and love of my family; in the society of my neighbors and my books; in the wholesale occupation of my farm and my affairs; in an interest and affec-

tion in every bud that opens, in every breath that flows around me; in an entire freedom of rest, of motion, of thought; owing account to myself alone of my hours and myactions."
And when James Madison succeeded him as President, he wrote a friend: "Never did a prisoner, released from his chains, feel such relief as I shall, on shaking off the shackles of Power'"
Do you wish to know Jefferson's philosophy about treating "the other fellow" as you go through life? Then read these words written by him to his little daughter Maria, and you have the essence of that soul that men call Thomas Jefferson: "Never be angry with anybody, nor speak hard of them. Try to let everybody's faults be forgotten as you would wish yours to be. Take more pleasure in giving what is best to another than in having it yourself. Then all the world will love you, and I, more than all the world." Friend, if you haven't room for that letter in your scrapbook, you should tear up jn.*OolU.
Would you meet Thomas Jefferson spiritually? Then read these words that he wrote to his closest friend of a lifetime, John Adams, at the time of the death of Adams' wife: "ft is some comfort to us both that the time is not very far distant at which we are to deposit in the same cerement our sorrows and suffering bodies, and to ascAnd in essence to an ecstatic meeting with those we have loved and lost, and whom we shall still love and never lose again.', If your faith needs strengthening, friend, read over again the words of one of the world's greatest thinkers, expressing a faith that I am certain contained not a single fragment of doubt. **
Another great thinker once said that the belief in the immortality of man came into existence when the first mother knelt by the body of her dead baby, and from that great yearning of the human heart to meet again, sprang that belief in a future life. Part of Jefferson's perfect faith in the future life he mentioned may have been built on the memory of his wife, who died very early in his career, leaving him profoundly shocked. It seems to me thlt in all my reading concerning our American great, there is no other love story that even faintly compares with that of Thomas and Martha Jefferson. It bordered on the sublime; soared high toward the Infinite.
One of the most enticing pictures in American political history is that of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams debating between themselves who should write the Declaration of fndependence. All others were eliminated. ft was between these two, and Jefferson stoutly maintained that Adams must do the job. Finally, Adams said: ..I won,t do it. You must. There are three reasons. First, you are a Virginian, and Virginia must take the lead in this; second, I am unpopular personally, and you are the opposite;
and third, you can write ten times better than I can." So Jefferson wrote it.
I need not tell you tt "tlrr ln"-*n*"-Uay debate that preceded its adoption in the Congress, Jefferson never spoke a word. No wonder John Adams, who led the fight for the Declaration, called him "the silent member.l.' Jefferson said of Adams: "The great pillar of support to the Declaration of fndependence and its ablest advocate and champion on the foor, was John Adams. He was our Colossus. Not graceful, but always fluent, he yet came out with a power both of thought and expression which moved us from our seats."
What a coincidence trral,;".-a-r men who did most to give us our Independence on the Fourth of July and make that date immortal, both died on the Fourth of July, 1826 ! As Adams died, his last thought was of Jefferson, and he was heard to say with his last breath: "Thomas Jefferson still survives!" But Jefferson had been dead an hour or so. And the last words of Jefferson were: "It is the Fourth of July."
Jefferson was the o"r.:;Jed of men. He approved highly of Dr. Ben Franklin, whose motto was: ,,Never contradict anyone." Rich or poor, peasant or prince, they all liked Jefferson. Ife was truly a gentleman in every way that word can be taken. He was gentle, affable, genial; and courteous to everyone of high or low degree. Although he lived in times in which personal animosities ran riot and quarrels were the order of the day, he was untouched by it. ffe never had an altercation or personal misunderstanding with anyone. He was never challenged in any personal way. I{e never entered into public debates. We find him writing: "Never enter into dispute or argument with another. f never saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument." And he did not like or enjoy forid oratory, for we find him expressing his high opinion of "Iogical reasoning and chaste eloquence, disfigured by no gaudy tinsel of rhetoric or declamation." I'm afraid he would not have enjoyed Churchill as much as f do. However, Washington apparently felt the same way, for in a letter written to a youth on the subject of public speaking, Washington said: "A dictatorial style is always accompanied with Utrto"Y' * *
Interpreted spiritually, the last words of John Adams_ "Thomas Jefferson still survives"-117s1.s prophetically true. For so long as men live and think, Thomas Jefferson will survive.

The Hammond Lumber Company has won the C. R. Johnson Memorial Safety Award for the second time in three years with a Donovan Index score of 86. Their first award was for the year 1941 with a score of 130. Holmes Eureka Lumber Company won it for 1942 with 112. The Donovan Index is based on the frequency and severity of accidents and the figures show a commendable decrease in accidents during the three year period.
Otis R. Johnson, president of the Union Lumber Company, gave the beautiful Memorial Safet-y Plaque to be competed for annually by the rnajor mills of the Redrvood ltmpire, and dedicated it to the memory of his father, the late Mr. C. R. Johnson, who was keenly interested in the safety program.
The presentation of the award took place at a dinner given by the Hammond Lumber Company at the Eureka Inn, Eureka on Saturday evening, April 1.
Earl Birmingham, general manager of Hammond Lumber Corrpany's operations at Samoa, lvas toastmaster. The attendance numbered 145 and included representatives from Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, The Pacific Lumber Company, and Union Lumber Company.
The program included short talks by leaders of the Redwood industry, including Mr. Otis R. Johnson, and safety talks by plant heads and safety directors.
The plaque was presented by Fred Holmes, president of Holmes Eureka Lumber Company to Leonard C. Hammond, president of Hammond Lumber Cornpany.
An interesting highlight of the evening was provided by the presence as guests of honor of eight Marine Corps flyers, who recently returned from the Scuth Pacific area, all of whom have made brilliant records.

Who is recluired to report lumber requirements on WPB Form 3640 on or before April 25 ? What lumber use should be included in the report? Horv should a company operating several plants make its report? What lumber is to be included in the report ancl what lumber products are not to be included ?
One of the questions most often asked, lumber divisions officials said, is horv to determine whether an item is "Lumber" controlled by the order, or a lumber product not controlled by the order. Interpretation I points out that wood generally passes through the lumber stagc sornelvhere in the various processes by rvhich a log is converted into a finished product.
The point at which Order L-335 exercises control is after wood has reached the lumber stage and before it has been converted into a fabricated item or has been partly fabricated to the extent that it cannot be used as general purpose lumber.
Order L-335 rvas amended today by WPB to make clear that lumber used for construction lvork done for othcr' persons is not to be reported as consumed by the contrac-
As a result of tests made by the Army Air Forces and Forest Products Laboratory, four dry kilns and three kiln operators of Precision Kiln Drying Co., Los Angeles and Long Beach, have been certified for drying aircraft lumber. The kilns are automatically controlled and are all of the latest type.
The spur track at the Long Beach plant can handle fottr cars at a time.
Only nine dry kiln operators on the Pacific Coast have had their kilns certified, and kiln dried aircraft lumber will be accepted only from these sources in the future.
Precision Kiln Drying Co. also does other commercial drying at both plants.
They also do custom milling, resawing, ripping and trimming at Long Beach
The mill and kilns at Long Beach are at 1405 Water Street, and the Los Angeles kilns are at 1361 Mirasol Street.

Washington, April 18-In a revision of the pricing of red cedar shingles and shingle products at the jobber, manufacturing jobber and manufacturer's direct-mill retail sales level, the Offi,ce of Price Administration today provided for these sellers certain mark-ups traditionally used by a Iarge portion of the industry.
The revision becomes effective April 22, L944.
The new mark-ups are authorized as follou's:
l-In sales by jobbers of less-than-carload lots to retailers, a mark-up of 10 per cent over landed costs may be made.
2-In sales by manufacturing jobbers of less-than-carload lots to retailers, a mark-up of 10 per cent over their f.o.b. mill ceiling prices may be made.
3-In sales by manufacturers in lots of 35 squares or less to consumers for their own use, a mark-up of 15 per cent over the mill f.o.b. ceiling price may be made, provided the following special requirements are met: The buyer, at the time of loading-out at the mill, must furnish the seller with a written statement that the shingles are for the buyer's use and not for resale. A copy of the statement must be filed with the OPA Portland, (Ore.) office.
These new mark-ups, OPA said, will not increase the price of red cedar shingles and shingle products to consumers. In the case of sales of shingles to consumers living in shingle manufacturing areas, they will, in fa,ct, result in lower prices on purchases direct from manufacturers. The mark-ups for manufacturers direct-mill sales to consumers of lots of 35 squares or smaller, the price agency added, are
smaller than those retailers are authorized to make.
A square of shingles, a trade unit of sale, is made up of four bundles of shingles-sufficient to cover 100 square feet of roofing. OPA said that 35 squares is a retail saleenough to shingle the average barn, or house and garage.

Washington, April l9-Specific dollars-and-ceuts rnaximum prices were placed by the Office of Price Administration today on milling kiln drying services performed on Western softwoods by custom mills.
Formerly, each operator could obtain the highest price he charged during March 1942.
Today's action, whi,ch becomes effective May 3, 1941, provides a more uniform and equitable price scale based on an averag'e of the highest prices prevailing in March 1942 and allows for the costs of both large and small operators, OPA declared.
The new ceilings, for the first cut in resawing or ripping, range from $7.50 per thousand board feet on l-inch x 2-inch to $2 per thousand board feet on wide dimension and large timbers. They are based on an average of the highest \{arch t942 prices of the mills in operation at that time.
Those {or each additional cut or line range from $2 per thousand board feet on narrow boards to 50 cents per thousand board feet on timbers of 6-inch x S-inch and larger, and are based on the charges of those new mills which based their prices on actual costs rather than on the maximum prices of small competitors.
Today's action was taken following extensive consultation with the industry, which included visits to a large number of custom mills and first-hand examination of their operations.
As a result of this action, which applies to operators without a financial interest in the lumber they handle, dollarsand-cents ceiling now cover all kiln drying and milling of Western softwoods. Ceilings are provided in other lumber regulations which cover similar services performed by operators who do have some financial interest in the lumber they handle, such as sawmills that produce the lumber and distribution yards that purchase the lumber for resale.
Moniccr Phones: 4-32984-3299
' Operators rvho do not come within the definition o.f custom mills, but who perform custom milling services, can apply to the nearest OPA regional offrce for permission to charge the maximum prices established by today's action.

Here is the story of the most unusual surrender in military history. It happened during the Civil War. Stanley Horn tells about it in his interesting book, "The Army of Tennessee." Col. Wilder of the Union forces, had a force of about four thousand men in a fort at Munfordville, near Bowling Green. Bragg's army entirely surrounded him, with 100 cannon trained on the fort. The little Federal army was doomed. Bragg demanded Wilder's unconditional surrender. Let Mr. Horn tell the amazing story of how gentlemen fought in the old days:
"Wilder was an Indiana industrialist with no military experience whatever. He did not like the idea of surrendering-but could see nothing else to do. Finally he adopted the unorthodox expedient of going under a fag of truce to General Buckner's headquarters and asking his advice. (Buckner was a Southern General, you understand.) IIe explained his ignorance, said he had been told Buckner was not only a trained soldier, but a gentleman who would not deceive him. If his position was hopeless, he explained, he did not want to sacrifice the lives of any of his men in a useless defense. On the other hand, he did not want to be stampeded into a surrender which a more experienced commander might not cohsider necessary. lfe was willing to leave it to Buckner, as one gentleman to another. Buckner, taken aback by this naivete, declined to advise his trusting enemy.
" 'That's not the \ ray wars are fought,' he told Wilder. He did go so far as to tell him that he ought to try to defend the fort as long as possible if he thought that thereby he might help Buell. But he assured him that his little command was encircled by Bragg's whole arrn5r, with a hundred pieces of artillery in a commanding position where they could batter his defenses into dust. Wilder asked politely if he might be permitted to inspect the enemy forces and count the cannon. Buckner in his most gentlemanly manner consented to this, and Wilder convinced by ocular demonstration, said sadly: 'I believe I'll surrender.' So Buckner took him to Bragg, and Wilder gave up the fort and its entire garrison together with aU its artillery and stores and 5,000 stand of small arms."

Two American soldiers on short leave were tramping over the hills in a lovely English countryside, when they came to an old inn with a sign that read: "George and the Dragon." They knocked, and a vinegar faced women 'answered. One of them said:
"Could we get a room for the night?"
Old vinegar face snapped "No !" and slammed the door.
After a minute they knocked again. Again old sourpuss came to the door. The soldier asked:
"Could we speak to George this time?"
Little Johnnie wrote in his essay book in school on the subject of dogs: "The noblest kind of a dog is the hot dog, for it not only don't bite the hand that feeds it, but it feeds the hand that bites it."
Dr. Randolph Ray wrote: "Every experience is valuable because it relates us to the Infinite. The wells of adversity filled with tears, become great living springs, powerful and recuperative, if as we go through the valley we know how to use those glimpses of the Infinite. We are not lifting ourselves by our bootstraps. We have the power of the Infinite as our own."

Not long since I was sitting rvith several friends in the lun.rber and building business, and rve got to talking about after the u'ar, and u'hat the industry could do to help bridge the gap betrveen r'var and peace in our home economy. And we rvere all in agreement that the lumber and building industry could and should make a tremendous contribution tor'vard the solution of our domestic problems. We likewise agreed that it would not just happen; it would have to be made to happen. To simply ride along, take things as they come, and allow the lumber and building business to simply seek the line of least resistance, or even of most attraction, would not do the job.
We were all of the opinion that the automobile industry rvill do a terrific job in postrvar saving of the nation from the gloom clouds by making countless small, economical, low-priced cars that r'vill be in reach of the average man of small means. It has been freely predicted of late that such cars will be sold in the department stores after the' war, and that immeasurable good will be done by the motor car industry in getting us back torvard normal.
I made the plea that the lumber and building industry must get busy and devise r,vays and means for putting into
Bv Jack Dionnethe hands of that same good citizen of small means who rvill buy that small car, a home of something like that same ,character and caliber. That it would be entirely possible and practical after the war, if the brains and energies of the industry could be practically coordinated, to do that very thing; to sell people homes that would be much more than just shelter; that these homes should not be standardized like so many peas in a pod; that they should and could be the kind of homes that men and women would gladly save and sacrifice and work to own and live in and show to their friends, and brag about. That sort of home. And I thought it could be done for comparatively the same sort of money that the low-priced department store motor .cars will cost.
One of my friends present spoke up and said that if I had a few hours to spare he thought he could show me just exactly what I was talking about; or at least something very close to it. I accepted, and rve went to see the home shown in the accompanying picture. I am sure, dear reader, that you have already taken a good look at it. I rvould only add that it looks every bit as good in reality as it does in this photograph. So I am go-
ing to tell you about this home. I need hardly waste the space to state in advance that the builder of this home invested brains more than he did money. For there are millions of houses all over this country that cost as much or more than this beautiful home, that are nothing on earth but walls and roofs and floors. But here is a home that cost a bit under two thousand dollars, complete with every finish and fixture, that people who drive by invariably stop to admire. If the owner had a buck for every person r,vho has stopped or slowed down to look, and then said-"What a lovely little home"-as they drove off, he would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
So I talked with the owner, who was also the builder, the planner, and the present occupant. This is essentially a Southern climate home, one that would fit any district from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, and be attractive and practical anywhere along the line. It cost to build between $1,900 and $2,000, without garage. To secure this attractive and comfortable home for the amount mentioned (it was built in 1938) the builder used much ingenuity, and got far off the beaten path. The bath and light fixtures are naturhlly the most economical. The roof throughout the house'is also the ceiling, the rafters and roof boards being exposed on the inside. Don't get an idea that this is unsightly. Some of the most beautiful and expensive homes I ever saw had rooms done that way.
This house has a frontage of 621 feet. It was designed for outdoor living, has five outside doors, and with the idea that people see shape, color, but not materials. It is a wide, thin house, made that way for appearance, and for a maximum of light and air. Every room in the house has two or three exposures. It has a living room 2UxZ2'; dining room 8'xlZ; two bedrooms each 10'x11'; combination kitchen and laundry, 8'x24. The bath is between the bedrooms.
The 20 foot dimension of the living room is placed so that the ridge of the roof of the ten foot bedroom wing are in alignment. This gives an appearance of simplicity and of added size. The front wing which has the dining room and kitchen, is also T leet wide, so that the ridge is a continuation of main ridge. This device adds a look of quiet to tl-re picture.
The living room floor is common brick laid over a waterproof membrane. The owner says the brick floor is wonderful, being warmer, no drafts blow under it, and there is no noise or vibration frdtn heavy use. The remainder of the house is floored with VG softwood flooring.
All interior walls are of Pine boards, placed vertically rvith plain butted edges, except in the kitchen and living room. These are lined with Fir plywood, enameled in the kitchen and stained a soft warm white in the living room. The front wall of the living room is a solid bookcase. Windorvs are reduced in number but large in size, 3'x5' being used. This is cheaper and less fussy'in appearance.
Hot summer air is taken from the top of all rooms with vents at the high point of all ceilings, and, with air allowed to enter at the bottom of the windows which are close to the floor, automatic circulation is obtained.

The roof is split rvooden shakes, and stained a dark brorvn. A long pergola built of 2x4's across the front offers a place for vines that give shade in summer, but lets the sunlight through in winter.
The exterior is sided lr'ith 1x4 and 1x6 rough siding, low grade. Narrorv 'ividths are cheaper and do not split' The eave lines are dropped. The house is low, saving about lS/c in cubical content, and obviously saving money with it. There is a cheap heating system that functions very rvell, the owner says.
So there you are ! I submit it to my friends in the lumber industry as something to think seriously about. If all the people in this country who could pay for a two thousand dollar house and enough land to put it on could own a hon-re like this one, this would be the happiest nation in the rvorlcl. The automobile people are going to supply the nation rvitl'r cars comparable in price and usefulness to this house. Can the building industry do the same ? It is no trick at all to tliink of difficulties in the' way. Negative thinking is the rvorld's simplest {orm of athletics. But r.regative thinking r,von't bridge the gap betu'een 'n'ar and peace; rvon't save the nation from the terrible bumps that will be forthcon.ring unless all the capable thinkers and doers of the cottntry enlist in determined efforts along practical lines.

Edwin Towle Robie, president of the Auburn Lumber Company, passed tb his rest Monday evening, April 17, 1944, after a long heart illness. E. T. Robie is well knorvn to'the lumber industry and to community development in all of Central Cali{ornia. He was born in Corinth, Vermont, July 22,7870, and rvas in his 73rd year. His first ancestor in America, John Robie, started a sarvmill in Exeter, N e rv Hampshire, in 1634, and his family has since largely maintained a similar inclination.
Mr. Robie started his life work soon after coming to Towle, California, in 1882 with his father, John H. Robie, who was associated rvith Towle Brothers Lumber Company headed by the pioneer lumbermen, Allen, George, and Edwin Towle, the uncles of young Ed Robie. Their California operations began in 1856 and they supplied much of the lumber required to build the first railroad in California. Ed attended school for short periods, .ivhile rvorking in the general store of Towle Brothers Company, which carried all sorts of merchandise necessary for the workerf employed by their logging camps, railroad, and sawmills. When working steady three years later, at 15, Ed founcl that 88 working hours per wedk rvas not unusual.
In 1887, the Robie family moved to Auburn, where John H. Robie became manag'er of the Towle Brothers lumber yard. The change was made principally so that young Edwin, then 17, might attend the Sierra Normal College. He took the work rapidly and graduated in 1889 with a sound fundamental knowledge of mathematics, accounting, and business administration, which did much to guide his later life. While going to school, he worked and did the accounting for Towle Brothers at Auburn and Newcastle. After graduation, he returned to work at Towle and did the surveying;for their line of railroad to mills at Texas Hill, east frorii'Emigrant Gap. He was then brought into tl-re general ofrfice and later became secretary of the Towle Brothers Company.
In 1902, Mr. Robie organized the Auburn Lurnber Company as successor to the interests of Towle Brothers Company in Auburn. This enterprise expanded under his management, with operations and interests in ten cities of Central California. He added banking to his many activities, and for l0 years was president of the First National Bank of Auburn. He later organized the Central California Federal Savings and Loan Association, and as president guided a successful operation. For seven years he was president of Lumbermen's Supply, Inc., a Sacramento rvholesale building materials firm.
During his lifetime, he devoted time and attention to the lumber industry associations representative of California, and served many times in executive capacities. In a similar way, he gave willingly of his time to ,civic promotion in the City of Auburn. In World War I, a fine Placer County record of over subscription to five Liberty Bond Drives was made under his direction as Chairman.
Mr. Robie was married May 3, 1894, to Ina Stone, the daughter of a California pioneer family. It was his hope duriag the last illness to carry on a few months longer to reach a fifty-year wedding anniversary with his devoted wife. Surviving also, is their son Wendell Robie, an active
associate with his father, and their daughter, Mrs. Edwina Robbins of Yuba City. He leaves two grandsons, John Robie and Edrvir-r Robbins, and a grand-daughter, Ina N{ay Robbins.
.
Mr. Robie lived through a rapidly changing period of colorful California history, as a vanishing legion of old fortyr.riners gave way before the advancing mechanical age.
A long, honorable, and successful career evidenced the esteem in u'hicl-r E. T. Robie rvas l-reld.
