Recommends Amendments to Pnce Control Act
Washington, April 26-Enough lumber for housing will depend almost entirely on the adoption of several moderate but essential amendments to the Price Control Act. Richard A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee today.
Mr. Colgan reported that lumber production cannot possibly reach the government's goal unless OPA is ordered by Congress to change some of its methods of fixing prices, and charged tl-rat "inadequate price ceilings alone are responsible for mdst of our decreased production today."
He singled out particularly for blame the deliberate OPA practice of setting prices so that only 75 per cent of production may break even br make a profit, and recommended that OPA be required'to allou'at least 90 per cent of the production to break even.
"This' unholy policy," he said, "is based in part on the absurd contention that 25 per cent of production never did make a profit and never will. Here is one branch of the government calmlv cutting otr 25 per cent of productionbecause of course they do go out of business-when other branches of the government are exhorting us to produce and produce some more."
Mr. Colgan also called attention to the failure of OPA to recognize the current high costs of standing timber, to its practice of using overall company profits from manl' types of business, to its "inexcusable slowness" in making decisions, and to its failure to use crlrrent costs of production. He recommended that any amendments to the Act require OPA to change or moclify these practices.

The Little House
The little Road says-GoThe little flouse says-StaYAnd Oh, it's bonnie here at home, But I must go away.

The little Road, like me, Would seek and turn and know, And forth I go to learn the things The little Road would know.
And I must go, my dears, And journey while I maY, Though heart be sore for the little House That had no word but Stay.
Maybe no other way, Your child could ever know, Why a little House would have you stay, When a little Road says-Go.
-Josephine Preston Peabody
Prqcticcrl Appliccrtion
A university history professor met one of his ex-students who had just been released from the army after three years overseas. He asked the young man what practical lessons he had learned in the war. The boy said: "I've discovered that making history is a whole lot tougher than studying history."
II The Fog Were To LiIt
This morning I opened my eyes, gigantic gray shadows loomed through the fog. I knew that those shadows were pine trees and beyond the trees was the lake, and the sleeping town. I knew because I had seen it all so many times.
And I wondered, if the eternal fog that mystifies us were to lift so that we could see beyond it, might not the things it would reveal be just as simple as the trees and the little sleeping village?"-Blanche E. Dreier.

No Return
The soldier from the war returns, The sailor from the main, But I have parted from mY love, Never to meet again, My dear, Never to meet again. When day is gone and night is come' And all folks bound to sleeP, I think of him that's gone away The lee-lang night and weep, My dear, The lee-lang night and weep.

Kindness
"What is the real good?" I ask in a musing mood.
"Order" said the court.
"Knowledge" said the school.
"Truth" said the wise man.
"Riches" said the fool.
"Love" said the maiden.
"Beauty" said the lover.
"Freedom" said the dreamer.
"Home" said the sage.
"Fame" said the soldier.
"Equity" said the seer.
Spake rny heart full sadly-"The answer is not here."
Then, within my bosom, softly this I heard:
"Each heart holds the secretKINDNESS is the word."
