Some anony*o.rr r"r,JJ;** the following advice about laughter: "Laugh and be merry for that is healing to those about you who despair. Be humble and human and tender. Be selfess and patient with the forgiveness that permits you to lift your head high; be simple. In fact, be a child having the knowledge that you are in safekeeping; in loving hands."

Winston Churchill's speech after Dunkirk: '.We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets, and on the hills. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island, or a large part of it, were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World, with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the old."

Grand Old Churchill h"" O*" *an us here in the United States recently, fighting under new conditions not dreamed of when he made the Dunkirk speech quoted above, yet fighting with every ounce of his brain and body for that one thing he loves above all things-Britain. What a patriot! In lighter vein it could be said of the 79-year old

Briton what O. Henry once wrote about one of his heroes. He said: "He has gone to and fro in this world, walked up and down in it, and enjoyed it."*

And, since this piece is thus far made up chiefly of scrapbook items, why not finish with some others that may be missing in YOUR scrapbook? Edmund Burke, another great British orator, said to the British House of Commons in 1775: "America, gentlemen say, is a noble object. It is an object well worth fighting for. Certainly it is, if fighting a people be the best way of gaining them. Gentlemen in this respect will be led to their choice of means by their complexions and their habits. Those who understand the military art will, of course, have some predilection for it. Those who wield the thunder of the state may have more confidence in the efficacy of arms. But I confess my opinion is much more in favor of prudent management than of force. I do not choose to wholly break the American spirit, because it is the spirit that has made the country."

Remember when you ;rJ. lia, "r,a listened with distended eyes and flesh alive with goosepimples, while some future orator thundered the words of "Spartacus to the Gladiators?" Here are those lines, written by one Elijah Kellogg: "If ye are beasts, then stand here like fat oxen, waiting for the butcher's knife ! If ye are men-follow me ! Strike down yon guard, gain the mountain passes, and there do bloody work, as did your sires at old Thermoplyae ! Is Sparta dead? Is the old Grecian spirit frozen in your veins that you do crouch and cower like a belabored hound beneath his master's lash? O comrades! Warriors! Thracians ! If we must fight, let us fight for ourselves ! ff we must slaughter, let us slaughter our oppressors ! If we must die, let it be under the clear sky, by the bright waters, in noble. honorable battle !"

Hughes Fomily Hove Been Lumber Mokers for 54 yeqrs

The old adage, "In unity there is strength," has held true in the case of the Hughes Brothers lumber operation, located at Foresthill, Calif., twenty-three miles from Auburn, county seat of Placer County. This fine lumbering operation is owned and operated by a unique partnership of five brothers and one sister, all of whom are active in the management and operation of this thriving industry, and their mother, who is no longer active in the business.

The company was begun in 1900 by William H. Hughes, Sr., father of the present partners, in New Mexico. He died in 1926 and the business was carried on by his wife and the older of the eight children, with each child becoming active and interested as he was old enough until all eight were members of the partnership.

Of the eight, six yet remain active; one sister, Mrs. Nellie Grant, married and withdrew her interest, and one brother, Ted, passed away in 1950. The mother of the partners, Mrs. Kate D. Hughes, resides in Foresthill. The present partners are William, Brian, Ivan, Joe and David Hughes, and Mrs. Winifred Akins. Each is outstanding in his particular part of the business.

The company was begun and operated in New Mexico until 1942, when the need for expansion was felt and the present location in Foresthill was decided upon. The effrcient and modern bandmill is located seven and one-half miles from Foresthill, and the dry yard, planing mill and main office is located in Foresthill.

Hughes Brothers at present employs about 125 men in their lumber operation. Their methods and forestry practice have brought them a high reputation for honesty and integrity.

Do-lt-Yourself Spreads Wlld|y

The "do-it-yourself" idea continues to spread like a prairie fire in a high wind.

It has proved to be as contagious as the spirit of holiness at a meeting of Holy Rollers.

It has rallied frcm the hillside and gathered from the plains.

It has caught the popular fancy like nothing else since someone long ago invented kissing.

A board and a nail and a saw and a can of paint may soon be built into a coat-of-arms for national use.

The old song, "Everybody's Doing It," may become the national anthem of the build-repair-and remodel movement.

No town or hamlet is safe from the insidious contagion. Millions of men and women are devoting their spare time to building and fixing around their homes.

This is one national campaign where the ladies are as interested as the men.

Do-ll'Yourself Kirchen ldeos Developed by Plywood Mokers

As part of a continuing effort to help retail lumber dealers sell rnore fir plywood, plans for a thoroughly mo<lern series of "do-it-yourself" kitchen work centers have been developeci by western fir plywoocl manufacturers.

There are 14 new plans in ail, each one carefully designecl to satisfy the modern housewife's growing need for more built-in kitchen and utility room storage and work facilities' Ancl the designs have been simplified to appeal instantly to even the most amateur of home handvmen.

The 14 plans are a source of nearly 30 separate ideas for improving the home kitchen. Such units as range counter, oven utensil an<l har-rging dish cabinets, plus a sliding spice rack, recipe file, telephone desk, utility closet and cleaning cart are but a few of the manv do-it-vourself ideas included in 1he olans.

Remcrnufqcfures for Three Mills

An Edltorial

The average woman is pretty clumsy with a hammer and a saw, but she can give a paint brush holy hades.

And how she loves that job ! She might kick like a mule if she messed up her clothing and anatomy in any other fashion, but with a paint brush and a can of green or white-she revels in it.

That's why uncounted millions of dollars will be spent this year for "do-it-yourself" supplies.

A board or a sheet of plywood are raw materials for a million building things.

Yes sir, a nail and a board and a saw and a can of paint make millions of places look new that ain't. And what's more, it's fun.

Lumber yards by the tens of thousands are working hand in fist with this so very practical craze. ,Long may it wave !

No Increqse in Prices

"Thanks for a lot of good lumber news for just $3.00."

New Do-lf-Yourself Pqinl ond Wollpoper Gimmicks qt Show

Shorv l'roducer Ted l3entley says that, due to a huge stimulant received from the surging do-it-yourself market' the u,allpapering and painting fields have unclergone a rrast change the past tvuo years. It is reported that ntore than 75 per cent of all interior paint sold is applied to the do-ityourself field, rvith Southern California coming in for a large percentage of this flgure. In rvallpapering, the trend is almost as great, being about 6O per cent to the do-ityourself market.

Probably the greatest incentive in the paint field has been the marketing of such devices as paint rollers and othcr forms of easy-to-apply applicators. Several novel applicators v,'ill be on display at the shou', Bentley said.
