CPA Branch Ollice Opened In San Francisco

A branch office of the Central Procuring Agency was established in San Francisco, effective August 4. Captain Carvel D. Brown, U. S. Engineers, is in charge. The office will handle all Army and Navy purchases of lumber in the Redwood r.egion, and all details for both rail and cargo. The contracts issued by the office will be administered there from purchase through final payments.

It is not yet deterrr{ined what the policy will be regarding the buying of Pine, but in the meantime Lieutenant Jack Hogg USN will be in charge of Pine purchases at the Portland office.

Captain Brown has had considerable experience in the Redwood industry, having been with The Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia for some years up to the time he entered the service. He was born in Humboldt County, and his father, Percy Brown, now retired, is a former Redwood producer.

Reports on Legislcrtive Mcrtters

C. W. Pinkerton, manager of the Lumbermen's Governmental Service Bureau, Whittier, advises that the last regular session of the California legislature in 1943 enacted seven constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot in the November election to be voted on. The Bureau will endeavor during the next two months to give the dealers a short analysis of these amendments, also an analysis of whatever initiative petitions will appear on the ballot.

All wars are caused by what Elbert Hubbard used to call '1the seven Hag Sisters"-fear' doubt, hate, jealousy, indifference, disdain, and disease.

General Von Moltke said: "Every war is a national calamity, whether victorious or not.l' And Benjainin Franklin, one of the world's all-time wise naen, said: "There never was a good war or a bad peace'" If you don't agree, you'll have to take it up with Ben. {<**

At the start of World War Two it was the philosophy of Germany that the quickest and surest way to win the cooperation of their smaller neighbors was to slaughter and annihilate them. They robbed without mercy, and persecuted without remorse. Now the time has come when they are searching for some philosophy that will advise them how to get their men and equipment OUT OF those same countries, without having mobs of vengeance screaming at their backs.

After listening to many political speeches of late which would teach far different things, it is still my opinion that this war is being won strictly by our gallant Army and Navy, and by the Am'erican industrialists who have overwhelmed the enemy with their production of war goods' When I write my history of this war I'm not going to waste much space on arm-chair strategists.

What this countr, "..J, ,l . ,r,u" more simple faith in God, and a little less personal egotism and vanity; a little more of the genuine humility that says "Thy will be done," and a little less prideful arrogance and self-adoration; a little less Bureaucracy, "ld *. tl U" more Democracy'

Loyal men are like great trees; so long as they live you will always know where theY stand.

Great men have no envy, no prejudices, no jealously, no vanity, no arrogance. From their true heights, they look calmly down. Their quality is self-evident and needs no army of propagandists.

Numerous times in this column I have recited the ages of most of the great men who made history. All of them were young, from Alexander the Great to Jesus' The aver' age age of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, was 44 years.

Thebes, once great capital .of Ethiopia was called "Thebes of a thousand gates." In Italy our American troops recently marched through a town that tried to build as many towers as Thebes had gates-and nearly succeeded. The people of San Gimignano during the middle ages spent most of their time building high and ornate towers. They had eighty of them at one time. When this war came on there were just thirteen of them left and these, they say are gone now'

Another town in Italy our men swept past rings a familiar note in the mind of every American schoolboy' The town is Chiusi, but they used to call it Clusium in the old days. Remember in the famous poem about how Horatius held the bridge, the poet said that-

Lars Porsena of Clusium, By the nine gods he swore, That the great house of Tarquin Should suffer **tl.* no more.

Power is always dangerous, because man is fallible' And the more power you place in the hands of any man, and the longer you leave it there, the more plainly does his fallibility manifest itself.

The more a man ,."ri, i.rrJ*., the more he doubts' Never forget that, when judging men' Ignorance bawls' Wisdom speaks falteringly. Beware oI the man who not only knows, but who knows he knows, for verily, nine out of every ten times, he knows*little.

The gruffness of a soldier frequently covers the softest heart. One of the gruffest men in our history was General U. S. Grant. Yet Grant, finding the angel of death at his side, insisted that his body should be laid in no spot where his wife-when her turn came-could not sleep beside him'

Any postwar industrial plan that fails to seek more and more production of necessities, for more and more people, (Continrred on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 8) at lower and lower cost-belongs in the limbo of useloss tbings.

I have no quarrel with any man for differing with me politically any more than I have for preferring blondes while I admire brunettes. Neither have I great respect for a man who is intolerant of the other fellow's political beliefs. I may not admire his judgment; but I will uphold with dl my power his right to own and exercise it.

It was Brand Whitlock who uttered the oft-repdated ' philosophy that "when you define Liberty, you limit it; and when you limit 't, yoJ destroy it."

Election years :ue circus time for screw-balls. Just as a c,ircus parade brings the curious out to look, so does the political season bring forth elements of civilian life never aeen or heard of at any other time. The wise words of the conservative thinker will be made to mingle with the idiosyncrasies of neuropathics, the vociferousness o,f the latter seeking to drown out the logic of the former. Which is as it should be; for election year is a great American institution that distinguishes us from any other people on earth. ***

Speaking of politics, the best wise-crack of recent weeks was bandied around the rebent Democratic convention in Chicago. When the President's letter was published, faintly praising Vice President Wallace, some wag remarked: . "That letter cut Wallace's throat-below the belt." ***

Joe E. Montague, Fort Worth cattleman, recently testified before the House Banking Committee in Washington that an official of Texas OPA Cattle-Division asked him: "Do you still have male and female steers in Texas?" He said he had witnesses to the incident. He told the Committee, "OPA doesn't have anybody down there who knows anything about live stock."

Sometimes when I look at pictures of splendidly-garbed, military-looking, impressive men who appear every inch officers, I think of Eugene Baldwin's description of General Stonewall Jackson. Baldwin was editor of the Peoria (Illinois) Star in Civil War days, and was a Yankee and a friend of Lincoln. This is how he, as an eye witness, described

Jackson: "Jackson wore an old ragged suit. tie .risor o# hi. ""p rested on the bridge of his nose. He motlnted alfr old, scrawny and sorrowful horse." Such'was the appear-.. j ance of a man who has been described by unbiased mititafft history as one of the great military leaders and one of the,il greatest fighters of all time.

History says the following Civil War story is true. to:i me it is mighty good. A certain Col. Fisk, of Missouti;:ii raised a volunteer regiment, and made every man agr@', that he, the Colonel, should be allowed to do all the swear-'irii ing for the regiment. In short, swearing was forbidden. i One of Fisk's teamst€rs got tangled up with a team Qf,J' balky. mules on a muddy road, and he cu,<sed those mules something terrible. News came to the Colonel and the'i teamster was called before him. The Colonel said to him: i "Didn't you. agree to let me do all the swearing for the regr-,ii ment?" The teamster said: "Yes, Colonel, I did, but the ,'i fact is that the swearing had to be done right then or not:,.i at all and you weqen't there to tend to it, so I had to do lt'';,i

"He was the most gallant soldier, officer, and gentleman';: f have ever known, and I make no exceptions." Thus spoke Major General R. O. Barton, Cornmander of the Unitedi States Fourth Division. He was speaking of the late Geni; eral Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who died of e'xhaustion ihli Normandy recently. What a man that younger Roosevelt'.'1 must have beent Not more than a r4onth ago I heard a ro''. turned American doughboy who served under him, telling'ii tall stories about this Roosevelt; said he was "the fightingrl; est damn officer in any trrnay.'l He was in truth a natriril..'l born soldier, lived it, loved it. His epitaph should be thosc* immortal words of Wordsworth: "This is the Happy War;"r rior; this is he that every man in arm-s should wish to be." IIe was the typical American; as much so as his father-',l;i President Teddy Roosevelt-was before him.

Seasick Soldier Stories

Strange to relate, none of the stories I have read or heard so far in the present war have to do nrith seasick soldiers' Duiing World War One some of the very best stories of the soldiers-stories that fairly rocked the country-were seasick stories. Here are some samples of those I published and told during the last war.

No Wecrkness

The troop ship struck very rough water, and the rail was lined with seasick soldiers. One boy wai so violently ill that a Sergeant nearby walked over' sylnpathetically, and putting his hand on the shoulder of the sufrerer said:

. "Soldier, you must have a weak stomach."

"Weak, hell!" said the sick one. "I'm throwing it as far as anybody."

His Choice oI Sights

A colored soldier lay below in his bunk on the troop ship, desperately seasick. He had been that way for days. A friend rushed down to him and shouted:

Mexiccrn Scrles oI Flexwood qnd Flexglcss Increcse

Moiern design is very popular among Mexican architects of "the new generation" who are participating in the current building boom in that country, according to a report received from "Mexico Europa, S. A.", Mexican representative of the United States Plywood Corporation. Mexicani sales of Flexwood and Flexglass, decorative materials made and sold jointly by The Mengel Company and U. S. Plywood, have shown a large percentage increase in recent months, according to George Selden, manager of the division.

"Come on up on deck, quick, Mose! I wants to show you '; a whale !"

"Go 'way, boy, I aii't comin"' said Mose' t'An' don't call me ergin till you kin show me a POSTOAK TREE " ***

A Seasick PrcrYer

A colored soldier was so seasick he was certain he was' going to die, and some of his mates hait jokingly told hin fre friA very little chance to live. So he rolled out of his ' bunk, and knelt down on his knees on the foor, and those' near-by heard this soulfril prayer rising to the Throne 'j above:

"Oh, Lawd, mos' folbs keep astin' you fo' things dl de;d time. I ain't nevahtsted You fo' nuthin' befo' an',ifln Youi{:;; he'p me dis time I promises nevah t'ax You fo' nuthinl: "rgirr, but I needs he'p right now, Lawd, an' I needs h'it badlji so come on down, Lawd, an' he'p dis po' niggah befo' hq done goes daid! An'not only come' Lawd, but come SOONI r An', O Lawd! If You'all cain't come Yo'se'f, please Lawdl' SEND ONE O'YOU' SPEEDIES' ANGELS!''

Studies Postwar Progrrm 'of: Education

A'continuing program of education designed to equ4-1! lumber dealers to meet postwar demands is being stUdied;l.i] by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association,.Wash:i'iJ ington, D. C. l:i, .,'L

"We are going back to the fundamentals," 1{' R' Northlp:;,i:i secretary oi the Association, announced in explaining the-"-i'l studies. "We hope to do a 'brass tack' job; not a ballyhoo'1',' job. ,

i'Th. war," he said, "has pretty well stripped the yards '-'r of experienced personnel. A program oI education for'new f.'i e-ployee", and the re-education of old hands, must be set, i; up if lumber yards are torserve the public adequdtely ig r':' the-postwaf era." '1

It is not contemplated, however, to merely set up a post- .: war informative system to catch the first flush of bus!: .' ness; rather it is the purp.ose of the Association to establish a continuing program that can be adjusted to changing conditions.

"Our president, Leonard Lamfrert, Jr., of St' Paul, '::: Minn.," stated Secretary Northup, 'ihas said that what w :i want to do is to spend our money wisely for the good :i; of the whole industry.

The QucrlitY oI the SPirit

By Thomcrs Wolle

There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and them communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality, and then it is a quality of the spirit. It is probably the richest resource of the spirit; it is better than all formal learning, and it cannot be learned, although it grows in power and richness with living. It is full of wisdom and repose, since the memory and contrast of pain and labor are in it'

People who have this energy of joy and delight draw other people to them as bees are drawn to ripe plums' Most people have little Power for living in themselves, they are pallid and uncertain in thoughts and feelings, and they think they can derive strength-the richness and the character that they lack-from one of these vital and decisive pebple'

. Wrong Guy

A man rushed into a bar and excitedly asked the bartender if he knew anything that lvould stop a bad case of triccoughs.' His answer was a slap across the face with a wet bar towel. Furious, he demanded to know what the hell the bartender meant? The bartender said: i'Well, have you noticed you. are not hiccoughing any more?" The stranger said: "Nuts! I didn't have any hiccoughs when I came in ! It's my wife ! She's sitting out in the car !"

Question: "A. motorist was 100 yards from an open, level railroad crossing, and driving 50 miles an hour. A train is also approaching this same crossing at 70 miles an hour, and is 35b feet from the intersection. The question is, did the motorist get across?" , "

Answer: "Yes, the motorist did get a cross. His wife bought it out of his insurance money."

Shortly afterward his steno was heard telling some of the other girls about it. She said: "He's not really a lieutenant. He's a major in the Confederate Army, disorganized."

The road to town is young with spring' And brave with new green grasses' And how my heart goes venturing, With every lad that Passes !

For here my lover left so gaY, And on his lips was laughter, But I-I turned my head a\ilay, I couldn't follow after.

Tho gypsy heart to gypsy heart, I've shared his every by-waY, His roads and kisses-O ! To Part On,such a golden highwaY!

Buy now he's gone the road to town, O God! The lilhc's bloomingAnd from the town the shiPs go down To where the guns are booming.

The road to town is young with spring, And green with new green grasses; O, lad, my heart goes venturing, with each of you that passes.

One Sunday morning when the F'irst Baptist Church'ir: Colored, was heiding services, a big colored woman ap-:ii peared at the door who was conspicuously carrying one of";i those old-time ear trumpets; a big, black, twisted instru:''rr ment such as were common two generations back. Shc.' walked into the main door and stood looking around,.' searching for a vacant seat. ;;

The head deacon, whose job it was to find seats fo-'n'i* strangers, appraised her as a visitor from the country, aniil: carne over to help her find a seat. Then he noticed the eafj' trumpet, which was something €ntirely new in his experi; ence. He eyed it most suspiciously. Then his sense of:, duty carne to his rescue' and he said: I

Many a man in the Army and Navy will be bringirg home f,avorable opinions of wood construction. For our service men.rre seeing how well Wobnanized Lumber* behaves in barracks, warehouses, loading pl,afforms and the like, where conditions are conducive lo decay and termite attack.

When military demands ease, this vacuumpressure treated wood will be made available for civilian construction. Treated at plants conveniently located throughout the country, &stribution will again be through regular trade channels.

Fir Doors

- (Continued from Page 22) .,;i ing to market again the Sav-A-Space Sliding Door, whic["; was first introduced by the members of Fir Door InstitUte.ii

shortly before the outbreak of war. With new and improi'e{rp track, the sliding door assemblies will f,e available for"5 dealer stocks. in from 6O to 90 days. ,'],

The door makers produce the framework, including a,l header in which there is track lor overhead rollers carrf: l ing the door. This complete' assembled framework, with hanger hardware in place, is 5et up in distributors' warc'-'i houses and is sold through the lqmber dealer all over thq'i United States. The lumber dealer furnishes a standanl: l/s-inch door from his stock in any design specified.. :

The framework fits any standardZx4 wall and is coverti4rr by the wall material, and the assembly receives all l/$1 inch doors.

'New Hardwood Running Track

When the frame is re-introduced, the overhead roller+', will run on a hardwood track for smooth, quiet operatiorl'' Finish hardware for the dooi will be packaged with theli operating hardware as a part of the unit and is ofrered1 in both edge-pull and lock types; plating of the hardwerej,::l will be limited to available materials for the duration; ' 'i

Meanwhile, the anhouncement from the fir door industgi',i, reports, the Crawford Door Company, manufactqrers ofi the hardware for the popular minimum-cost overhead ga.i rage door first introduced in 1938, are improving the de-, sign of the hardware through extensive engineering test':li ing and research. The fir door manufacturers, who produce.4 the wooden units for the Craw-Fir-D-or are also working;$ on new designs and specifications for,the post-war model.- 4 The Craw-Fir-Dor has not been available for the past two*i years, due to unavailability of steel for the self-energizing.l hardware.

The new models, thoroughly tested, will be offered to,:i dealers as soon as possible. Again the door will be sold as';r; a "package" including the simple hardware. And the ex-:j panded facilities of Crawford Door Co. of Detroit, now:: making precision airplane parts,' w{ll be returned to the: making of the hardware. ,t;

2. BUILDERS CAN RE-USE THE SAME PANELS FOR SHEATHING AND SUBFLOORING.

THERE'S a double-barreled sales story that will help you step up post-war yolume. Stock Plyscord-the sheathing grade of Douglas flr plywoedand sell more of it because of this one feature alone.

Remember the other profit-producing features of Plyscord, too. Used as wall or roof sheathing, Plyscord lends strength and rigidity to construction. As subflooring, it provides a firm rigid base for the finish flooring-v;11t no danger of cupping, warping, squeaking or shrinking.

.Fo-r multiple-use concrete forn work, pLyFORM should be recmmended. of course. Plyform is the special concrete-form grad€ of Douglas fir plywod.

And before it is used for either sheathing or subflooring, Plyscord serves as an ideal "one-use" concrete form* lt goes up quickly, provides a smooth, finless surface, is easily stripped for re-use,
