1. lr rrops HEAI on coLD! Klvsurtblanket is one of the most remarkable heat and cold stoppers ever developed. Thermal efficiency: O.27 Btu./hr.fsq. ft'/ileg. F./in. (f. C. Peebles, Armoir Institute).

2. usnxo PnoTEGilotl! Klusur is longJived because of the *"..riAi ito.t, which it is made: wood -fibers impregnated with asphalt.

3. rcolotrttcll! Mass production makes rur'rsul's cost low' The i*rtiiiii tiipitttlfeature reduces storage, shipping and handling charges.

4. trtO;3fUnf-nESFTAIIT! Kurlsur blanket *ill fgat on water ini.n"iUv, proof of its resistance to moisture infiluation through capillarf attion. Asphalt impregnation means lasting moisture res.istance.

5. Hns-nEslsrAilT! There is zo insulation known that will make a *b"J ir"-i ttructure fireproof' But an insulation must not add to the possibility of.a fire. i(It*lsur meets this requiremenq because it is chemicaliy treated to resist 6re.

6. nEttsrs vgnull, lllsEcTs, FUllGuS! The materials of which iiuiuilt -"de-principallv wood fiber and asphalt-do not offer anv subsistenc. td insecls or vermin. A chemical treatment makes rrirsur insulation resistant to mold and fungus growth. Ktusur is termite-proof.

I have seen a candy store that has been in business for mhny years, struggling for existence under an OPA ruling that they must charge no more for their candy than they did before the war, and all around them new candy shops do a thriving business selling candy that nobody even claims is better than that of the old store, at about 250 per cent higher prices than the old store can charge.

Every business -"r, ,o,l-l.r]r"*"rdless of his line, can tell you stories of that sort with regard to his own industry. The layman hears such things and naturally doubts their truth. He does not understand how such things can be. But they Are, everywhere, under this strange form of government they call bureaucracy.

In the building material line take flooring as an example. We have a fooring famine, simply because under OPA rules the material required to make flooring can be cut into other items to much greater financial advantage. A mill that cuts softwood flooring, does so at a great loss. Fir and Southern Pine mill men have been telling the authorities that they would have to have from fifteen to twentyfive dollars above the recent ceiling to enable them to turn their materials into flooring. Under OpA there is no sane relationship between the ceiling prices on various items, grades, and sizes, such as existed before price control. Those relationships should be renewed the minute sanity returns to the .lumber business to stay.

"We have held the line on prices," President Truman said in that radio address. Yes, sir, we sure have. And we have effectually stopped production, stopped distribution, and stopped initiative. To all practical purposes the line they held on innumerable of the necessities of American life means nothing, because the supply is nothing-or close to it. The line they have held is the emptiest line in history.

What effect of the sudden termination of OPA controls has been on the lumber industry, is easily told. Up to this minute the whole irldustry is sitting tight, playing a waiting game, and watching to see what will happen. From the Pacific Northwest and from the Southern Pine argas generally, comes the same report. Instead of rushing into contract for lumber orders at higher prices, as had been predicted by the apostles of despair, the mills have been holding back their sales to see what will happen next. The rush for higher prices has never developed. In the South hundreds of important mills are out of the market entirely. The same can be said generally about the retail yards, according to reports at this moment. They have held the price line, and are watching developments.

I am going to quote from a letter written by a friend of mine in whose judgmerrt I have the greatest faith. He is a high executive in a big industrial institution. I{e recently returned from a trip over the industrial North and East, and he wrote a letter to his firm about what he learned. I got a copy of the letter. It tyls written, understand, several days before the sudden demise of OpA, so no regent matters enter into his findings. Here is what he said in two of 'his paragraphs: :B*{<

"I have cortrpleted the projected 4,ffi0 miles trip to the important industrial centers of our Northern and Eastern states, visiting. Chicago, Milwaukeb, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and New York. Many industrial plants, and, unfortunately, many of our suppliers, are closed down or only working part time, due to shortages of coal, steel, pig iron, labor, governmental interferences of one sort or another, and many other besetting evils. Work stoppage in steel mills and coal mines will be felt by the whole country for an indefinite period, some think for many years. The loss of six million tons of steel cannot be laughed ofi, and nine million tons of coal production represents an irreparable loss to the country. Management in some of our, great industrial plants have exhausted all ingenuity to keef go_ irg. In many cases they have concluded to discontinue production until the "o"":tr*:oTes to its senses.

"The sad thing, to my mind, is the apparent attitude of the average working man. In so many of them ambition and the desire to get ahead and willingness -to work has been destroyed by unemployment compensation, and by the influence of labor leaders intoxicated by their go*r"rrr_ ment-supported power. The wheels of industry arl slo*_ ly but surely grinding to a stop; and it is a pitiful thing in a land which produced so much for war and is capable of producing so much for peace.,' Coming from one oJ tne most optimistic industriarists that r know, this is hard talk. :f:t*

The other day President Tru,man signed the Hobbs Bill. He had vetoed it once, when it was part of the Case Bill. Coming to him as a separate Bill, he took a long time to study it, then signed it WITH A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO UNION LABOR. Think of that! And all in the world the Hobbs Bill says is that no citizen, regardless of affiliation, is exempt from the criminal statutes covering the crimes of extortion and highway robbery. yet, it was ' signed with apologies.

He Knew Willie

My friend Al Koelzer, a first rate teller of stories in his own right, sends in this one:

A bunch of colored country boys were bragging about their hunting dogs. One of them was high on his dog, Willie. "Willie," he said, "got a di,ffunt way of barkin' fo' eve'y thing he trees. Yassuh. No matter how far off Willie is got somethin' treed, I kin telt Jes' egsackly whut Willie got by the way he barks."

The gang didn't believe anything of the sort, and said so, and to settle the matter they went out in the woods that night to find out. His owner turned Willie loose, and he disappeared in the dark woods. Soon his voice rang out a short distance away, and one of the crowd asked: ..Whut
