Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co. Manufacture and supp ry of f ic,til:3 ?Jffi: "Po rympic

Again the Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company,- the house of specialties, has found a use fon Pacific Coast lumf-..--*n.t"'lumber irom other regions had been previously used.' .'

Under the supervision and with the co-operation 9f Mrt Ernst Brandsten, Diving and Swimming Instructor. at Stanford University, and coach for t-he American lJtvtng ""a S*i-*ing teims at the Olympic Games, this Comp""y- made ex"tensive tests of diffeient lumber, carefully selected for this PurPose. --A; ; result, Old Growth Douglas Fir selected for close ".ili."t grain which runs absolutely straight as well as vertical fiom end to end was adopted as the Internattonal R.g;l"ti"" Spring Board. The official dimensions of the n"E"i"tio" Bbard are 3" thick by 20" wide (in one solid oie?e) bv 16 ft. long, tapered from center to end to Proi"." itt. maximum of ellsticity. Fro'm these boards seveial additional feet in height are attained by the performer after leaving the board which is a great advantage in fahcy and high diving. tiour of these Spring Boards have been shipped to Paris for the use of the competing teams in the Olympic Games. The American team to parlicipate in the Oiympic Games i._ lory training on these boards at difierent -points in the United States.

For the reason that Douglas Fir Spring boards are made in one solid piece of vertical grain lumber, deterioration due to the separation of the joints, and warping of boards that are made of several pieces and bolted together, is eliminated.

International Regulation Douglas Fir Spring Boards (Brandsten Design) have been in use at several of the Universities and Athletic Clubs for more than five years.

Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company has supplied these boards to the West Point Military Academy, Annapolis Naval Academy, Yale, Harvard, Columbia; and in faCt to practically all of the Eastern Universities, as weil as to th-e Universities of the West and Athletic ,ehbs and Swimming Pools throughout the United States.

(Continued from Page 21.)

The Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company states that its interest- in producing these spring boirdi is not only to obtain the maximum of performanie for the divers, but also the furtherance of the use of Pacific Coast lumber. and the advertising Douglas Fir in this instance receives.

One can readily realize that this is not profitable business for the dealer, as practically only zOTi of. the boards received from the mill conform to the exacting require- ments of spring boards.

Gus Hoover Busts Into Print

This little ditty .comes from Gus Hoover of Los Angeles. Gus sags that he sot it from a gooil frienil of his,'anit tkat he thinki it is zuorth printin"g. Here goes.

"T.yo- frogs out for a stroll one evening meandered into 1 Til\ house, where crocks of fresh creim were cooling. Selecting the most inviting jar, the frogs dove in.

"For.a long time lhey swam around and gaily disported themselves in the rich cream.

. "After having_filled up to capacity and tiring of their debauchery, they decided to continue their stroll.

"The diving i" Iqg been easy, but the hopping out pre- sented unforseen difficulties. For an hour t66y i'icked ind splashed in. a vain effort to scale the slippery- sides of the crock. At length one of the frogs in desiirafion addressed. his companion:

"It's no use, Bill, I'm through," and with a faint croak of defeat flopped over on his baik and sank to the bottom.

"But Bill was made of finer clay. He struggled and swam, kicked and splashed and bihold in anolEed hour persistency had its reward, for the cream had turned into butter ! With a croak 9f jgy he climbed up on the yellow mass, flicked the perspiration from his hose, and lioppecl out into the night.

"Moral: Don't be a quitter."
