Los Angeles, RYan 1-6939 s everyone knows, war needs are consuming the bulk of the nation's lumber production-but we occasionally hear it stated that in meeting extremely heavy war demands, the lumber industry is dipping deeply into its timber reserves. This is not true to the point where future lumber supplies are seriously threatened. modern forestry management, through planned programs, through improved control of fire, of insects, growths and disease, we are approaching the time timber growth will equal or surpass timber harvests.

SAMPSON SCREEI{S ANE STRONGEST!

Actually, the nation's reserves of standing timber of saw log size are vast. There is an abundance of mature trees, ripe for harvest and ready to serve America's normal building needs for many years.

Also growing in great profusign are young trees, which. will usefully serve the building needs of the next generation-and succeeding generations.

Timber is a Crop. Tbees grow.They are our only renewable resource.

Therefore, you can confidently look forward to having lumber oJ the highest quality for tomonow's new homes, churches, farm buildings, and commercial structures. You can count on lumber to continue in its role as America's best and most economical building material.

Immortclity

"There is not coming in the byjand-by a time when one will automatically become an immortal. One cannot become different from what he is. If he is not an immortal now, he never will become one. Unless he knows that he is an immortal now, he will never know that he is one."

(Lewis Strang)

Sure Cure

"How can you cure someone of snoring?"

"Easy. By good advice, cooperation, kindness, and by stuffing an old sock in his mouth."

Jungle Convention

Once upon a time the head lion in the jungle called all the jungle animals together for a conference, and when they were assembled he raised himself on his haunches, and said:

"Fellow animals, you have been summoned here today to protest against the existing order of things, Everything is wrong. (Loud growls and grunts). Animals from other territories are coming into our jungle thereby making it twice as hard for us to make a living, and now the question is, what are we going to do about it?"

Before anybody else had a chance to say a word the snail popped up and said: "I move you Mr. Lion that we all lay off our regular line of work and spend our time in meetings and conventions talking things over and passing resolutions until conditions change."

"\lV'ell," said the beaver, "I can't see that that will get us anywhere; how are we going to live in the meantime?"

At this point the elephant spoke up, and said: "I notice the bees are not in on this; let's get them here and make it unanimous."

!'Oh, there's no use fooling your time away with them," said the tiger. "I gave them an invitation this morning, but they said that while they wished us well they.were so busy looking after their own business, gathering honey in their regular territory and scouring around for new sources of supply that they really did not have time to attend conventions, make speeches, or listen to them."

So they all adjourned and went home. And the remarks of the bees gave them something to think about all the way.

An Old House

He who loves an old house, Never loves in vain, For how can an. old house Used to sun and rainTo lilac and to larkspur And tall trees above, Ever fail to answer, The heart that gives it love.

-Isabel Fiske Conant

Dry Wecrther

Out of Arizcrra come lots of good dry weather gags. One of them concerns the man who threw some buckets of water on the roof of his five year old house; said he'd always wondered if the roof leaked. Another is about the family man who was seen throwing gravel on the roof of his house. Someone asked him why and he said: "It's going to rain one of these years, and I want the kids to know what it sounds like so they won't get too scared when it cornes."

A Little Bcrrgcin Shop

I want my life to be a shop, On a green, wind-swept hill; A shop for all the lovely things, Not bought $'ith Coin or Bill.

I'd deal in courage, and I'd have Upon a swinging shelf

A box of Patience-and a niche Where Joy could sun itself.

I'd carry hope in generous squares, Tied in with ribbons bright; And give away Forgetfulness For Fears that come at night.

Then, as a week-end Special For everyone, you see I'd give to all my customers A jar of Charity.

I want my life to be a shop, On a green wind-swept.hill; A shop for all the lovely things, Not bought with Coin or Bill.

Hoo-Hoo Day in September

The high point of the year in the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is Hoo-Hoo Duy, officially September 9, 1945. It marks the date of the 54th annual convention.

To Hoo-Hoo, the ban on conventions no longer offers a serious problem. For the past two years, instead of one big meeting at a central point, approximately twenty-five meetings were held in strategic cities. As September 9 falls on Sunday, local groups and organized Clubs of the Order will hold meetings either on September 8, or September 10.

Snark of the lJniverse Don Montgomery, and Secretary B. F. Springer, urge all Hoo-Hoo members everywhere in the United States and Canada to meet in observance of Hoo-Hoo Day.

Plcys Good GolI Gcme

John L. Todd, president of Western Door & Sash Co., Oakland, takes advantage of daylight saving time by bringing his golf clubs along on his business trips and playing at least nine holes after his day's work is done. He breaks 100 now and then for 18 holes, and just recently scored 104 on a course that's not so easy.

Mr. Todd is the recognized dean of the sash and door salesmen of the United States, and he is looking forward to the time when gas restrictions will be relaxed so that he can call on more people.
