Shipments of RbyAL Oak Flooring can be made as soon as Victory releases it from war duties . in sizes and grades entirely appropriate for every room in every 194X home going up in your communitv.

Lieut. Angly Appointed Lumber Storage Interpretation of Order L-335

Olficet at Mare lsland

Lieut. Maurice Angly, of Houston, Texas, has 'been appointed Lumber Storage Officer for the U. S. Navy, at the huge Navy yard at Mare Island, California. He has already assumed his new duties after having spent a short time on leave at his home in Houston.

In connection with his new duties, Lieut. Angly will doubtlessly be attending the lumber lettings on the Pacific Coast and otherwise assist in procurement of lumber for the war effort. He carries into this new phase of his war work twenty years of experience in the lumber industry.

Nearly two years ahead of the general depression, lumber had already started on the downward path when, in 1928, Maurice Angly opened up a wholesale business in Houston under the name of Maurice Angly Lumber Company. He had seen service in several departments of the Boykin Lumber Company,before starting his own business. And, in the face of every adverse condition, through agg'ressive merchandising and promotion, the new business grew and prospered. Mr. Angly opened a large concentration yard in Houston, and later, branches in Corpus Christi, Brownsville and other Texas points.

.When war'came along, of course, these units were closed, but the Houston offices continued to service its customers as far as possibie, with its specialty products of Fir and Yellow Pine and Red Cedar shingles.

Then, in1942 every man in the Angly organization joined up and .went to war. And Mr. Angly, still a young man though over draft age, tendered his services. In July, 1942, he was given a commission as Lieutenant, Senior Grade in the U. S. Naval Reserve. and was sent to New .Orleans, where he was stationed for one year, in the pro-. curement department.

In September, 1943, he "nas transferred to the Navy Supply Depot, Oakland, California, rvhere he has been stationed up to the present time. Last month, he was back on leave in Houston to spend a few days with his wife and four-year-old .son, before taking up his new assignment.

The Angly lum,ber business carries on without its men folk. But it is in most capable hands, as two years of service by three experienced and loyal women. have demonstrated. They are Mrs. Lela Del Barto, Mrs. Mary Alice Streich and Mrs. Carolyn McGehee. While their men and their lumber have gone to war, they keep the flag flying over the Angly offices and carry on business to the extent that wartime conditions permit.

An official interpretation of the Lumber Control 'Ordern.l L-335, in the form of 86 questions and answers, has beed.:-*i issued by the War Production Board. ,:.t

The first ten questions and answers clarify the relationr.i, ii between L-335 and the orders that have been revoked:, j M-361 (southern pine), M-364 (restricted hardwoods), :: L-218 (Douglas fir), L-29.O (wbstern lumber), and M-208:. /--^l^-^,--- ,--Ll t ?, (preference ratings for softwood lumber). The relatioil i between L-335 and other lumber orders still in effect--1iil M-lZz (Mahogany) for example-is also clarified. Spe- fi cific examples are given explaining how the transition from ir former controls to the present over-all control is efiected, jil# Questions and answers 11 through 36 cover definitions.. ::t They clarify the differences between L-335 as originally,"i issued in March, and L-335, amended June 23 and effective,' .; ,{ugust 1. Among the questions answered are specific :1 ones on what is lumber as defined by the order, what ' products are not subject to the order's provisions, and ther,i,f, operation of concentration and distribution yards undei .:,1 the order.

Chief among the points clarified are how consumers.ig of different types get authorization to purchase lumber,,::,.$ what certification they need, who must file WPB f'orrinl:l 364O and how it is filed. -1

Distributors' problems are cdvered in questions and an.,:: swers 68 through 73. with particular reference to replaci..la! ment and building up of inventories. ,''l

The final 13 questions and answers relate to sawmills,,r;i and cover the types of orders they may accept. Questions,,, and answers 85 and 86 explain the application of Direc..;i tions 1 through .5, issued July 6, and of similar fortheorn-' l.i ing directions.

"IJncover when the Flag goes by, boys, 'Tis Freedom's starry banner that you greet; Flag famed in song and storyLong may she wave-Old GloryThe flag that has never known defeat." ***

Longfellow vfrote these stirring lines: "Write on your deeds the saying wise and bold, Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold. Be not too bold; yet better the excess Than defect; better the more than less: Better like Hector in the field to die, Than, like a perfumed Paris, turn and fly." **:8

And I like the way Lord Byron wrote of war. Take the following stanza, for instance:

"The. Assyrian came down like a \tolf on the lold, His cohorts were gleaming in purpli and gold; The sheen of his spears rryere like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee."

Bet that's the way the Ruisian arms looks to Adolf, the ex-paperhangerl "like stars on the sea." Or perhaps the Ruskies remind him more of the Hydra-headed monster of antiquity, whose strength lay in the fact that when you cut off one of his heads, ten more appeared in its place. No matter how many Russians the Boche has been able to knock out, there are ten more ready to take the place of each fallen man. A hard game to beat. Ask Adolf ! d('t*

As this is being written the opinion is being frequently expressed that the Germans are hoping to see the Russians get to Berlin first, rather than the Americans and British; some writers believe that they have not done their best fighting on the Eastern front for that reason. Those who utter such opinions have evidently not made a very close study of the charagter of a guy named Joe Stalin. When he hits Berlin the Boche will wish it were anybody else on earth. With at least ten million dead and wounded Russian soldiers, and a countless number of Russian civilians destroyed by the German war machine, Joe is going to be rough. That gent is of a breed that neither forgives nor forgets***

Reader's Digest says that the war has made many changesi For instance, before thls war the Ara,b in Egypt always rode his horse, while his wife walked behind. Today all that is changed. He still rides the horse, and she still walks. But she walks in front. He's afraid of land mines and booby traps.

And then, of course, there was the fortune teller whocharged G.I. Joe a buck for telling him he was going on';:: a long, long journey. But she wouldn't teil him wherg; it , was a military secret **>F

A lot of our fellow travelers in and out of Washington.;, are loud in their condemnation of profits as sinful thirtgs::i that should be done away with. Whenever you meet-, i" such a guy you'll know he not only never m€t a payroll,,," but has probably never been on one that wasn't politicbl' *rf*

Many people ask nowadays, "How are we'going to g€t-:. our service women back into the homes, the kitchens,.-"i the nurseries, and all their old accustomed places, after :i, the war, and after they have lived this new way of lifelir.,:i Folks, there's one postwar question I ca4 answcr withi,; complete assurance. Just lbave that business to the ten.i million boys in uniform that are coming home, too. They'llr take care of the business of getting the girls back into the.ii horne. They always have.

A fellow who plays a great part in this war .rra g"ti ,r9,i, thanks or praise for it-gets frequently cussed as a matter.:: of fact-is the civilian member of the multitudinous tation",l and draft boards. He's one guy in this war who doesn't::. get a square deal. In order to do a patriotic duty that the16.:; know must be done, these men and women give up ttreir.: tinie and effort to a job that therd isn't money enough in1.'ii the treasury to hire them to do otherwise. It is hard, tits-,'-1{ some, ureary, thankless work, and everyone knows it. Theyr,i; spend their valuable time, and sacrifice their personal ir1-'1 tjerests, often to do things that they themselves do ncitn,t; believe in. But it:s the law of the land, and someone has'.9.].i to do it, so they volunteer. The average man would much'F!! rather carry a gun, than man a ration board. But the mtn'1,i

There are two million more womeri in England than."i there are men. At least, there were before this war started.'il The difference is greater now. Remember that, lad5 inii case you are rivorrying for fear your soldier boy in Englandl| may be lonely. ***
