The California Lumber Merchant

I'm looking back through the years

A full score of years or more

And I'm greeting the first bright issue Of the C.L.M. as of yore. I eagerly scan its pages, Its fresh new lines I read, And again I exclaim, "Eureka !" This is what lumbermen need.

Today I am looking backward

And through the past years I see, A long procession of C.L.M.'s Coming each month to me; There would be Jack's own story, Facts and figures to heed, Fun for an idle moment And sturdy pronouncement to read.

I'm straying back through the yearsThe years that were care free and gay. Long years of industrious toil, Depression's years somber and grey; And here in the files are preserved, The records of times and of places, Bright scenes which we u'ould not forget, The words of old friends and their faces.

And now to the future I'm turningThe years we can mold to our will, In freedom of thought, speech and action, With our flag floating over us still; And the measure of lumberdom's service To each worthy cause will be told And enshrined in the files we'Il be keeping As the saga of peace shall unfold.

The American custom of standing in line before a bank teller's window has reached as far as the Island of Guam. The Bank of Guam, pictured above on pay day, is housed in one of the comfortable Quonset Huts which are being used for barracks, stores, offices, and now banks in occupied areas of the Pacific.

This Quonset Hut, which is being made by the Great Lakes Steel Corporation, Stran Steel Division, is a prefabricated building with steel arch ribs of such a design that the Masonite Presdwood lining can be nailed directly to the ribs. The huts are erected so simply that it tak-es but a few hours for enlisted men to open packing cases and set up a complete Quonset Hut.

Now that V-E Day has come and gone, the millions <jf soldiers and sailors who have lived in Quonset Huts will be good postwar prospects for modern convenient homes.

Allot Additional Lumber to \(/FA For Farm Use in Third Quarter

An additional 23,00O,000 board feet of lumber has been allotted to the War Food Administration for distribution to farmers for emergency maintenance and repair of farm dwellings in the third quarter of. 1945, the War Production Board announced recently.

Farmers make application for the lumber to the County Agricultural Conservation Committees, and approved applications are rated AA-3 by delegation of authority from WPB to WFA. Emergency cases for which applications will be approved are limited to repair of damage caused by fire, flood or similar disaster, or repair of dwellings that would be uninhabitable or a definite hazard to the health of the occupants if not repaired immediately, WPB said.

The lumber allotted to WFA is transferred from the amount originally allotted to WPB's Office of Civilian Requirements in the third quarter of 1945 for maintenance, repair and operating supplies for farm dwellings, WPB said. A similal transfer of 22,000,ffi board feet for emergency repair of farm dwellings was made in the second quarter.

You can count on lumber because as a nation we have the timber, the mills, and the facilities to produce quality lumber for normal domestic needs.

The war-time scarcity of lumber for civilian consumption is easily understood. war needs come first. And these needs are taking the best and very nearly all the lumber being manufactured... just as they are taking the best of everything for our fighting men.

In spite of the enorrnous lumber footage produced for the wdr, we still have available for our peace-time needs vast of timber resources, made up not'only of mature timber harvest, but also of constantly growing supplies of count on lumber because Timber is a Crop, and modern forest management, with proper forest harng practices, is making significant strides toward the Loal of sustained timber production, where timber growth equals the harvest. You can count on lumber again, oru gleat renewable natural resource.

Tell Me Again

Tell me again the story, That you, told when we both were young, You were my prince in glory, A prince with a golden tongue. The touch of your hand was thrillin!, The fact that you l.ived, was joyBut I was only a girl, dear, And you, were only ? boy.

Tell me the way you told me, When our love was the song of spring, Hold me as you would hold me, When love was a sacred thing. Let the silyer that's in your hair, love, Be jet, as it usici to be, When I was so new to caresses, And you were so great to me.

Here by the fireside sitting, As the pictures in flames run by, Sweet be the moments fitting, And children, just you and I. For the love of our age is richer, And yet, I,would feel the joy, Of the love that was only a girl's, dear, For her prince' -1o"x:rTy*:Jo{u"*",.

The best preparation for a better life next year is a full, harmonious, joyous tife this year. One's beliefs in a rich future life are of little importance unless we coin them into a rich present life. Today should'always be our most wonderful day.
