The Virtue oI Inconsistency

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. With consistency a great soul simply has nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. If you would be a man, speak what you'think today in words as hard as cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, thongh it contradict werything you said today. "Ah, then," exclaimed the aged ladies, "you shall be misunderstood." It is a fool's word, Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit tAat ever took flesh.

The Victory

In every man's life pilgrimage, however unblest, there are holy places where he is made to feel his kinship with the Divine; where the heavens bend low over his head and the angels come and minister unto him. These are tlte places of sacrifice, the meeting ground of mortal and immortal, the tents of trial wherein are waged the great spiritual combats of mari's life. Here are the tears and agonies, and the bloody sweats of Gethsemane. Happy the man who, looking back, can say to himself : "I{ere, too, was the victory."

Destiny

Sometimes I feel resentful

Of that celestial rule, Which makes one man a genius, Another man a fool. The judgment is so final, I cannot help but feel, That there should be provision For the loser to appeal.

I know if I were present

At the launching of a soul, And should possess the power

To designate its goal;

I'd give the fool an equal chance f wouldn't just condemn him, To be or not to be; f'd send him forth unfettered, To reach his destiny.

To Honor and to Fame. And not ordain his future, Nor give his fate a name.

Smile

A smile costs nothing, but it gives much. It e.nriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a single moment, but lasts forever; None is so rich and -ighty that he can get along without it, an& none is so poor that he cannot be ma.le rich with it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in businesq, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouragetl, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble, yet cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen. Some people are too, tired to give you a smltre. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so nouch as those who have none to giv6.

New Lumber Dirtribution Yard In Oakland

Lyle S. Vincent recently became associated with the Twin Harbors Lumber Company in forming the Interbay Lumber Company, which is operating a lumber distribution yard at 1001 16th Avenue, Oakland, where they have acquired the interests of the West Oregon Lumber Company in the San Francisco Bay area.

This company will carry stocks of lumber, plywood and shingles, and other building materials as they become available.

When the Navy releases the waterfront property purchased early this year by Twin Harbors Lumber Company, the plant will be moved to that location, and it is expected that milling facilities will be added at that time. This site has an area of 180,565 square feet, with frontage on 23rd Avenue, Ford Street and Kennedy Street, Oakland. The property has 675 feet frontage on the U. S. Tidal Canal, has rail service, and is adjacent to a ship channel 275 f.eet wide.

Mr. Vincent is general manager of the new concern. He has been manager of the West Oregon Lumber Company's interests in the San Francisco Bay area for thi past nine years, and is one of the best known lumbermen on the Pacific Coast, having been for many years in the wholesale business in Seattle.

Albert S. Van Dusen, who has been with the West Oregon Lumber Company for some time, and was formerly with the Smith Lumber Companr will be assistant manager.

The telephone number of the Interbay Lumber Company is Andover 6088.

Milf Ceilings on Hardwood Lumber Increased

Washington, D. C., May 31.-Mill ceiling increases averaging $5.90 per thousand board feet, or 11 per cent, on all hardwood lumber produced in the south central hardwood region, with the exception of construction grades which have already been given increases, were announced today by the Office of Price Administration.

An example of today's new ceilings, effective May 31, 1946, is that of $65.50 per thousand board feet for No. 1 common and selects plain red oak. The increases were based on a cost survey of representative production for the year 1945. Consumers will pay the higher prices, OPA said.

Because the normal price relationship between hardwood timbers and grade lumber was changed during the war to encourage increased timber production for military requirements, prices for the following timbers, or construction grades, have not been increased by this action:

(1) Structural stock or sound square edge.

(2) Freight car stock, common dimension, mine car lumber.

(3) No. 1 and No.2 dimension.

When averaged out over all south central hardwood lumber, including construction grades, today's increase amounts to $5.30 per thousand board feet, or 9l per cent, OPA explained.

(Amendment 2l to Maximum Price Reg.ulation 155Central Hardwood Lumber-effective May 31, 1946.)

San Francisco Company's Mills Produce Kimbell Reports Lumber Problems To Nation" Purchasing Agents

Oak, Alder, Redwood and Fir

The Sequoia Mill and Lumber Company operates an alder mill at Gualala, Calif., cutting 10,000 feet per day; a redwood mill at Willits, Calif., with a daily output of 30,000 feet, and an oak mill at Long Valley, Lake County, cutting 10,000 feet daily.

This company is a partnership of Dan A. McMillan, Jr., and Gerald G. Pearce, with offices in the Hobart Building, San Francisco.

Half of the production of these three operations will be shipped to the Edgewater Lumber Company, a corporation owned by Dan A. McMillan, Jr., C. Dudley De Velbiss, and Gerald G. Pearce. This concern will serve principally as a wholesale distribution yard.

Affiiiates of the Sequoia Mill and Lumber Company are the Anchor Bay Lumber Company, which operates a redwood mill at Gualala, with a capacity of 40,000 feet per day; the Trinity Fir Lumber Co., which has a Douglas fir mill at Zenia, Calif., cutting 40,000 feet daily, and the Twin Mill Lumber Company at Eugene, Oregon, with an output of 30,000 feet daily of Douglas fir.

Mr. Pearce states that the timber for these oak, alder, redwood and fir operations has been carefully selected, and believes these mills will produce high quality products.

"The redwood timber at Gualala is of especially fine, close-grained textur'e," he says, "suitable for tanks, cooling towers, rustic and siding. The oak is a true, white oak, which will make a select grade of flooring. The alder is of fine quality, and comes from the North Fork area. The fir at Trinity comes from east of the redwood belt, and while the fir being .cut at Eugene at present is second growth, we expect to be cutting old growth Yellow fir by fall.

"sequoia Mill and Lumber Company will offer through its wholesale office in San Francisco or its distributing yard in Oakland redwood rustics, fir flooring, and general industrial lumber from its production of oak, alder, redwood and fir.f'

Lumber production in 1946 than 30-billion board feet. 1O not feach more per cent below the government-estimated requirements, Richard Kimbell, director of Technical Services for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, told the annu,al convention bf the National Association of Purchasing Agents at Chicago on May 28.

Mr. Kimbell reported thlt estimated production in the first quarter of this year was only 6 billion feet, and that the second qua{ter total would be about 8 billion feet, or 14 billion feet altogether for the first halt of 1946, A.y estimating for the last half of the year was extremely difficult, he said, but "we think-and remember, this is an estimate based on a host of imponderables-that we will reach something near, but probably less than, 16 billion feet, for a 1946 total of about D or 30 billion feet."

This compares with requirements estimated by the CPA at 33 billion feet, plus necessary incieases in mill and dealer stocks.

"The lumber industry is producing a lot of lumber," Mr. Kimbell said. "But the same government shackles which bind most of you still prevent any all-out lumber production. There is no incentive to produce, and until there is, the margin4l operations which would bring the industry up to full capacity just cannot be put into production."

Mr. Kimbell discussed briefly government priority channeling of lumber, new uses of wood, the black market, and other factors affecting normal distribution patterns in the lumber industry.
