Kenneth Smith Talks Behre Peninsula Lumbermen's Club

Kenneth Smith, president of the California Redwood Association, San Francisco, was the speaker at the dinner meeting of the Peninsula Lumbermen's Club, held at the Ramor Oaks Restaurant, on El Camino Real, Atherton, Calif., on Friday July 18. There was a good attendance. James Martin, San Carlos Lumber Co., San Carlos, presided.

Mr. Smith's subject was "Human Relations and the Taft-Hartley Act," and his address was a thoughtful and well prepared one on the all important problem of management-labor relations. He said that "this Act is neither as good as its sponsors represent it to be, nor as bad as labor czars persuaded many honest men to believe it,by a brilliant but reckless campaign of misrepresentation in their effort to defeat it," and warned that "employers need to lean over backwards in the effort to make the new law work, and that they should use it to rebuild the confidence of men who work in their .leadership."

Paul Merner, Merner Lumber Co., Palo Alto, is president of the Peninisula Lumbermen's Club.

H. F. Hart, 860 Jefferson Avenue, Redwood Cit)', P.O. Box 507, is secretary. His telephone number is Emerson 6-6933.

Governments and Mcrn

It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of freedom to say that government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed: but this cannot be true because it is putting the effect before the cause; for, as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently 'there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact.

The fact therefore must be that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.-Thomas Paine.

The Rcg Doll

Her folks were poor when she was small, A dolly made of rags was all Her mother could afford to buy, fn vain for Princess dolls she'd sigh.

When fortune smiled her mother bought The kind of dolls she'd always sought, Expensive dolls with silken curls, She was the happiest of girls.

It's funny how the years can fly, Now, side by side her dollies lie. But when she dreams of childhood's charms, The rag doll nestles in her arms.

-Nick Kenny.

Titian

Titian by a few strokes of the brush knew how to make the general image and character of whatever object he attempted. His great care was to preserve the masses of light and oI shade, and to give by opposition the idea of that solidarity which is inseparable from natural objects. He was the greatest of the Venetians and deserves to rank with Raphael and Michelangelo.Sir Joshua Reynolds.
