This is an exclusive IilMSUL feature that saves on freight, handling and storage charges. Vhen blanket is expanded to point where stitching is taut, KIMSUL is being installed at ProPer density. Note rows of strong stitching which run lengthwise through each KIMSUL blanket. After installation, stitching Prevents KIMSUL from sagging or "packing down" within walls. Once KIMSUL Insulation is properly installed, it "stays put". KIMSLIL blanket assures the home owner of lasting comfort protection, plus years of greater fuel economy.

pointed out that this is an age of scientific merchandising. "We are living," he said, "in a highly competitive society-and this competitiveness will be accelerated by the war. T'he building material dealer and contractor will face many new factors when peace comes."

A Good Name is an Intsaluable Asset

ttFor a company to survive," he added, "it must establish the invaluable asset of a good name for its products. It must win the confidence of the public. No one can predict what our post-war problems are going to be. But I am sure that they will be easier to solve if we start by having the fiendship and good will of the people upon whom we are going to depend for business."

Bill Henry and' the News t'Johns-Manville," he explained, "is using its radio program as one means of accomplishing this objective. The nightly messages you hear delivered on the J-M 'Bill Henry and the News Program'on your Columbia Broadcasting System station are not ordinary advertising commercials.

"Instead, each message is carefuIly thought out and planned to get people to know us better. In that way, we hope they will like us and will want to buy our products in preference to others when building restrictionsi €rre removed."

Suroev Shows Results

Manville as a leader in the asbestos indwtry by 36%.

It has improved their knowledge of Johns-Manville as a manufacturer of roofing materials by 357o-as a manufacturer of home insulation by 4/o.

"But that's not all," he went on. "Our survey showed that, thanks to the radio program, the public's estimate as to the quality of our products has increasd L87o; as to the progressiveness of our management 25/s; as to our use of scientific research, the increase rs 477a.

Winning NeN Friend,s

"AlI of this," he concluded, "is a pretty good indication that we are on the right track and through this program are making friends of an ever-increasing percentage of the population."

BILL HENRY qnd the Neoa is broadeat 5 nights a week at 8:55 P.M. EWT on 6O CBS Stations. The following is typical ofthe friendly messagea millions hear on thie Johne-Murville Radio Program.

ANNOUNCER: "Right in your comnunity, there's a man who deserves a lot of credit for dependable eervice in spite of wartime streee, Hets your Johne-Manville Dealer or Contractor. He's workirrg under many diIEcultiee-lose of manpower, shortage of ma. leriale, a new problem almoet every day.

'6If your home needs re-roofing, re-siding or any other necesaary repairs, call upon your Johns-Manville Dealer or Contractor. You'll find him very helpful."

I asked him if they had any evidence that the J-M messages were doing that kind of a job.

"Yes, we have," he replied. "We made a survey some months ago. The results of this investigation were quite interesting. We learned, for example, that our radio program has irnproved the public's knowledge of Johns-

As I thought over what he had told me, f couldn't help but gain a new conception of the JohnsManville radio program. It has been on the air now for over two years-reaching thirty million people every month.

Totnorrow's Customers

These millions of listeners, all over the Nation, are the customers of tomorrow. Today they are planning and dreaming of the new house they will build or the home they will modernize when peace comes.

The friendly voice they hear five nights a week on the J-M radio program, "Bill Henry and the News," is a frequent reminder that Johns-Manville dealers and con-

tractors stand ready to help them with their building and repair problems.

I think you will agree that such carefully planned advertising is grving you a head start on solving tomorrow's problems. It can do a lot toward shaping the future not only of Johns-Manville but of the many dealers and contractors who handle Johns-Manville products.

"We.entered this war for a worthy object, and the war will end when that object is attained. Under God, I hope it will not end until that time."-Lincoln.

Today the armed forces of this nation, with a patriotism as shoreless as the air, are battling and dying for the rights of good people everywhere-laying down their lives that humans may be free.

"Greater love hath no man than this," saith the Scripture.

They seek no vulgar glory-these boys of ours; no possible repayment that man can measure; they are animated by no hope of conquest. They fight that free-born peoples may return to their homes laid desolate by inhuman conquest; that babies may be returned to their mothers' arms; that the blood-bespattered feet of the filthy Boche may be lifted from the necks of captive nations, and placed for all time to come within the confines that his frightfulness deserves.

They fight to end this maelstrom of blood and tears so that soon p€ace may return to this sorrowing world. Mocking at the frightfulness of their foe, undismayed by his brutdity, fearless of his shocking power, they are driving him back to his lair. And when they have done that, they will march onward through that foul lair.

They are fighting the Boche because of the beast, the brute, the vandal, the murderer, the rapist, the foul betrayer, the dragon of cruelty he has trxo,ven himself to be, and they are offering their breasts to the storm of death to insure that he shall march the earth no more. They are fighting to rid the world of that dread plague called German Militarism, and all of its ofr-shoots.

They are dfttg as men die, secure in the knowledge that they are fighting for God and His people, and all that life holds dear. While yet in love with life and raptured with

the world, just at the happiest, sunniest time of all their l lives, they were called to their nation's defense. And theyi went forth to face the Great Chance with hearts that beat, high, and ambition that ascended above the clouds.

Many will return no more; yet in the listening hearts d those who love them will their returning footsteps sou.nd at times; and their narnes will be listed in letters indelibleir on the records and in the hearts of the nation they sufrerbdi$ to save.

Jesus said: "ff a man shall keep my word, he shall not' see death." May a sorrowing nation be cheered with the.;'j knowledge that those who die "over there" are keeping Hir, word, are defending His people, are dying for those human;,l rights which He preached afrd advocated, are "laying down; their lives for others" as He taught; and who shdl doubt,'i that in His sight they have NOT seen death, but have sim.jij ply marched away to the reward to which their great sacri.i: fice for His ideals-entitle them.

Lincoln said: "Without the assistance of the Divine..i Being, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot.. fail. Trust in Him who can go with me, and remain wtth -. you, and be everywhere for good."

And the Battle Hymn of the Republic goes:

"He hath sounded forth a trumpet that shall never call retreat

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat,

Be swift, my soul, to answer Him,,be jubilant. my feet,

For God is marching on."

He is marching with our boys "over there" today.

Lord Byron, who wrote tremendously on the subject of lattle, puts powerful words into the mouth of Saul in his "Sgng of Saul," when he makes him say: "\ll/arriors and chiefs ! Should the shaft or the sword, Pierce me in leading the host of the Lord, Heed not the course, though a king's in your path, Bury your steel in the bosom of Gath."

And many of our own blessed American boys now bearing arms abroad may echo the poetic words of Sir Walter Scott, when he wrote:

) The day she cradled me, r,,. What lands I was to travel through, '.,,, What death I wa; to dee.'

I These tense days when we listen to everv cry of the. ,i newsboys on the street, and sit fearsomely by the radio' l,:,at home expecting at any moment to hear the echoes of :turogrean invasion, it is difficult to think or talk qf anything but war. The ordinary affairs of life become flat, stale and unprofitable by comparison, as matters of thought or con{:'..! versat'on.

fn the old days they made war with words as well as rreapons, and did it grandiloquently. Take the meeting of l. Alexander the Great and Darius on the banks of the River Astukhus. Darius was ruler of the world, and Alexander ff,, ,sought to be. Darius sent a letter to Alexander, in which li"'h" said: "The King of I{eaven has bestowed on me the

'do-ittions of the earth." The boyish Alexander wroti in [' 'reply : "That you may taste and 'acknowledge the bitterness

of my victory, I have resolved to meet you in battle. I pro1,1fess myself the weak and humble servant of God, to whom .-*,,. f address my prayers and look for victory and triumph, i,l- *d whom I adore." (Note: Alec beat the- bloody hades out +.f 9f the boastful Darius.)

***

Which reminds me that certain words of Abraham Lin1;1,1 coln on the subject of God's help in battle, are often misi: ;quoted. Here they are correctly. A certain clerg5rman, ;:,' talking to Lincoln, remarked: "I hope that the Lord ls on

our side." Lincoln r6plied: "I am not at all concerned about that, for I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side,"

Lincoln once made a powerful short statement concerning the value of our national Congress, when he said: "In a certain sense and to a certain extent, the President is a representative of the people. He is elected by them,.as Con- ' gress is. But can he, in the.nature of things, know the wants of the people as well as three hundred other men coming from all the'various localities of the nation?"

Speaking of war again. General Zachary Taylor was a simple, plain-spoken man. His words were so blunt that they might have seemed egotistlcal. Yet he was far from an egotist. Before the great battle of Buena Vista in Mexico -the battle that made Taylor President-he had an army of about 5,000 Americans, mostly volunteers and many of them going into actual combat for the first time. And he was surrounded by at least 20,000 Mexicans under General Santa Anna. Santa Anna sent a niessenger to Taylor demanding his surrender. Taylor never hesitated. He said to his officers who surrounded him to learn his answer: "\lVere there twice twenty thousand it would make no difference." And the reply he sent back to Santa Anna read: "General Taylor never surrenders." They fought a whale of a battle for ten hours, and Taylor was everywhere on horseback, directing his men. Before the fighting started he addressed his arrny, saying: "Soldiers, I intend to stand here, not only so long as a man remain5, but so long as a piece of a man is left."

Under heavy fire he rode up to a battery of cannon and calmly said to its commander: "A little more grap€, Captain Bragg." By nightfall over 7O0 Americans had fallen, and the Mexicans had lost over 2,000. All night the Americans watched for the next attack. It did not come. When dawn broke it was found that the great Mexican army had'withdrawn in the night. What a relief that was ! That battle made General Taylor President of the United States. He had served only a year when a cold brought on his death. His last words were: "I am not afraid to die." He wasn't afraid of anything in this

or the next.

Andrew Johnson, the Vice President, who succeeded to the.Presidency when Lincoln was as3assinated, was like Lincoln inasmuch as he was alpays proud of his plain origin. Once in the United States Senate he was reminded rather sarcastically of the fact tfiat he was a man of the

The power of armies is a visible thing, Formal and circumscribed in time and place; But who the limits of that power shall trace, Which a brave People into light can bring . Or hide, at will-for Freedom combating?"

-William Wordsworth {. {.

people. Johnson replied: "Sir, I do not forget that I am a -.mechanic. Neither do I forget that Adam was a tailor who sewed fig leaves, or that our Savior was the son of a carpenter.r' >8 :r

During one of Lincoln's debates with Douglas, a loudmouth in the.rear of the audience demanded to know if it was not a fact that Lincoln entered Illinois barefoot and driving a team of oxen. Lincoln stopped his speech,. and replied to the heckler: "There are many men in this audience who can testify that I came in that way, each of them far more respectable than*this queslioner.'

A friend asked me the other day if it were true that Thomas Jefferson was an ardent violinist. Indeed he was, to the very end of his long life. ft was through his fiddle playing that he met that flaming American, Patrick Henry. Both were fiddlers and attended fiddling meetings. They became warm friends, although Jefferson was rich and to the Manor born, while Henry was poor, married the daughter of an innkeeper, and tended bar in his father-in-lads inn. But they were great souls, and after their fiddling brought them together, they remained friends through life. To give you an idea of the devotion of Jefferson to his violin, it is related in history that when his beautiful home at Shadwell burned to the grdund, his faithful colored servants were able to make .just one rescuing trip inside the burning building, and what do you think they brought out? Jefferson's violin. He'lost the finest library in Virginia. But he sav.ed his fiddle. The negroes knew what he loved best.

Talking again of J"nurlorrl t"l ,r,. add several thoughts that are to me intensely interesting concerning that great man. He was very straight-laced. He was noted for his purity of character. He never used profanity, and deplored its use. He never played cards, nor allowed card playing fur his home. He hated liquor and was so prejudiced against it that he refused to take it as a stimulant prescribed by his doctor when he was dying. FIe was a very early riser. Not long before he died he remarked that the rising sun had not found him in bed in more than fifty years. While a slim man with extrernely thin legs, he was one of the strongest men physically, in Virginia. One historian declares that he could lift one thousand pounds dead weight, and that in his youth he could run all day like a panther, without tiring. One shoulder was lower than the other. He was red-headed and very homely.

His ahoice biblical quotation was th; lstrr psatrn oi,'j David. When he vzas dyrng (he died a'lingering dceth:ri#.,tii you know) he read a great deal. His biographer, Hearli'1fi S. Randall, tells of his final literary interests in this manner: "The majesty of 'Aeschylus, the ripe art of Sophocles, thi,ili exhaustless invention of Euripides, now came before himl;l in more than their pristine grandeur and beauty. and ia :' the Bible he found fights of sublimity more magnifice41.i than in these, coupled with a philosophy compared to which.;: the Grecian was imperfect, narrow, and weak. No senti-rii ment did he express oftener than his contempt for all mofa$l:.l systems compared with that of Christ." Nothing low-brow. about the Father .of Democracy when it came to reading;i,, was there ? Y

Having devoted most of this column today to historicali i matters, let me close with a little sketch of a truly'great and.ii: ' delightful woman who once presided over the domestic *.'-* affairs'of the White llouse, and shed nothing but gtory .i upon the place by so doing.

\(/ooden Rafts

The Bell Lumber Company, Bell, California, discontinued the retail lumber business for the duration in the fall of 1942, and turned over the plant to the exclusive building of wooden rafts for the U. S. Maritime Commission for use on Merchant Marine vessels.

The first contract was in September, 1942, lor Balsa floats, and they are still making some of these floats. A 'contract for the wooden rafts was received in December, 1942. They made 1100 of this model, but it was discontinued in April, 1944, when they were awarded a contract for the new-model raft, which they are now making.

common and better, S4S, American Lumber Standards, are used in the construction. All members are cut to pattern, painted a dark gray before they are prefabricated, and are put together with galvanized bolts, screws and rods. No nails are used.

The water-tight containers in each raft carry 41 items of equipment, among which are the following: 40 cans of provisions, 120 cans of water, Bible, log book with indelible pencil, blankets, chart container, distress signals for both day and night, drinking cups, first aid kit, fishing kit, flashlight with extra bulbs and batteries, hatchet with

1000 pounds oI equipment,

This new model is known as the well-deck 20 person type raft. It is 16 feet long, from point to point, 7-1/3 f.eet wide, and 45 inches high. There is neither a top nor bottom to the raft, whichever side comes up after it hits the water is used. Each one has four compartments which carry water-tight containers in which are stowed food, water and other equipment. The raft carries twenty steel tanks, each with a capacity of eight cubic feet of air space, which keeps the raft buoyant. Five rafts are installed on a vessel, and each raft carries 2O men and 1000 pounds of equipment.

2x6, 2x8, 2xI0,2xI2, 4x4, and 4x6, No. 1 Douglas fir,

Rcrlt equipped with oqrs, ccnvcs enclosure <rnd scril. lanyard, one gallon illuminaiing oil, lantern, life preservers, matches, main sail, signalling mirrors, signal flag, etc.

Attached to the outside of the raft are a boathook, electric rvaterlight with batteries, mast with rigging, oars (10 feet), oar (I2 feet), rowlocks on chains attached to oars, and canopy rods (11 f.eet,7l inches long).

The company operates a second plant at Wilmington, California, and there is another one operating under license at Concord, N. H.

Jack Shacher is the owner of the Bell Lumber Company. When the war is over, Jack says, "We will be back in the retail lumber business again." He is doing a fine job for the war effort.

produces better, lower tosl form buildings

FanuBns are thinking about farm buildings and equipment in new terms. They are regarding them, not as fixed and static structures, but as dynamic working tools. They know that efficient buildings, correctly designed and, soundly constructed reduce animal mortality, protect health, save labor hours and steps in care and management, save feed and increase production.

Engineering in lumber has made impressive contributions to farm building progress. It has developed glued laminated wood arch rafters which are being increasingly used in the construction of nearly every type of farm building. In large dairy barns these arch rafters provide generous hay storage free from objectionable bracing, while in smaller structures they give ample head room and wide post-free interiors.

These laminated wood rafters are continuous framing members running from foundation to roof ridge, thus eliminating the joint of sidewall to roof. Anchored at the sill with strong angle irons and joined at the ridge with metal plates and bolts, they make a more rigid, durable, wind-resistant structure. They save time in erection.

F.ngineering in lumber concerns itself with the development of wood as a building material and improvement in the design of farm buildings. It is working for you and your customers. And as soon as farmers can build again, improved 4-Square lumber and other timber products, together with the engineered designs of the 4-Square Farr4 Building Service will enable you to deliver better and more economical farm structures.

Plans 'n'ill shorv types of construction proposcd, ancl consi<lcration u'il1 be given to ger.reral availability of mlLtcrial, but it is no longer necessarv to give rluantities rc<1rrirctl, ancl WPll rvill leavc proposal oi nraterial to the applicar-rt.

Application for authorization of most construction projects, includir.rg farm houses and fann buildings, is made orr Fornr \\rPli-617 (other t1'pes o{ residential construction arc subject to Limited Preference Order P-55-C). Construction authorizatiorr for applications on Form \\rPB-617 is givcn on Form GA-1456, u'hicl-r rvill give the allotment symbol and the preference rating assigned. The use of materials is subject to current Corrstruction Limitations unless specific exceptions are made in the authorization.

The current WPB N{aterial Substitution and Suppll List (Jan. 15,7944) notes that Timbers:rnd 3" and 4" Dimension Lurnber are availaltlc in excess of current essential needs. These are stnlctural an<1 coustluctior-r size s. One-inch Boards and 2" by 1" and 6" Dimension renrair-r critical, and available only on specific authorization. Therare essential for boxing and crating for over-sczrs sl.ripment. Otl-rer lurnber required in building construction is availablc in currently sufficient quantity.

Production of timbers and hear-r- dinrension for structural purposes is essential to enabie sau'rnill ccluipmcnt to bc clperated to maxirnum capacitr- for production of boarcls ancl sm:rll dimer-rsion.

W00D Adds lnsuloting Volue; another good reason for using wood

Postwar construction will involve a lot oI refrigeration work. That means insulation, and wood adds to its efticiency. Prolit by this trend by recommen&ng that insulation be housed in wood.

Of course, the wood must be protected against ever-present decay and termite attack. Wolmanized Lumber* solves that problem. It is ordinary wood made highly resistant to this attack by vacuumpressure impregnation with Wolman Salts* preservation. This is the story we are telling in advertisements like that reproduced here.

Enjoys The Cclilornia Lumber Merchqnt

I got so much valuable information and so much pleasure from reading your interesting biography o{ Jefferson that I want to tell someone about it, and I thought I might just as well take time out and tell you. I subscribe to a number of lumber journals but yours is the only one f would really miss if they discontinued publication.

I am taking your May 1st issue to a friend in the hospital tonight and I only hope he gets half as much out of it as I did. My scrap book contains many of your Vagabond Editorials and your funny stories gatl-rered over the past eight years or more, and f value it very highly, and hope you always continue with those interesting biographies and funny stories that make your magazine the most interesting thing that comes in our mails. What a pleasure to pick up a lumber journal and find something other than dry statistics and advertisements.

B. H. Smith's Famous Slgn

The personal sketch about B. H. Smith, of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, t'hicl-r recently appeared in these columns, brings to mind a famous office sign he u'as once the author of.

When Mr. Srr.ritl'r u.as oper;rting I-ong-Bell's biggest Yellorv Pine sau'rni1l, at l-ongville.

It rvas a fir'e headrig nrill, arrd so verst that it n'as the talk of the lumber inclustrl'.

Soon it got so that u'henever a sawmill supply salesman marle a sales talli hc never failed to mention the fact that "u'e sell Great Southern." This was supposecl to sholv their standing in the industrl'. B. tI. Smith hacl that "r,ve sell Great Soutl.rcrn" pulled on him so oftcn, that he finally got tirecl of it, ar-rd he .had a big sign printed and stuck up on the u,a11 behind his cl.rair u'hcre evcry salcsman 'rvorrld see it the minute he u-a1kcd in.

EloolnyilnWoils lo BACK THE ATTACK/

To crush Germany and Japan the Allies need every foot of lumber which America can produce. Much of that lumber must be fabricated in forms totally different from those of peacetime production. This precludes the manufacture of standard lumber itenrs except in limited quantities and even these are now ftozen to insure war needs first.

These urgent military necessities are being turned out in huge volume under the handicaps of man power shortage, unfavorable logging conditions, lack of replacement and repair parts for machinery and transportation equipment. By prodigious efforts such handicaps are surmounted, daily, under the drive of knowing that €ver/ c?r-

load shipped brings closer the day of unconditional surrender.

You dealers, who through the many prewar years have been our loyal customers, will know from these facts that our inability to serve you has not been of our choosing. We are keenly aware of your predicament in trying to carry on your business without enough lumber. Yet we know, 1oo, you comprehend that the total facilities of the industry's large operations, of which Bradley is representative, are the nation's chief reliance for adequate supply; and that as patriotic men you do not begrudge a single board foot which helps save the life of an American front line fighter.
