Lumber Control l,-335 Revoked

All directions to Order L-335 were revoked August 21, 1945 by the War Production Board except the new Direction 7, which provides in Paragraph (b) that:

"Any lumber supplier (sawmill, concentration yard, or distributor) may detiver lumber to any person on uncertified and unrated orders, provided such lumber does not interfere lvith the filling of a certified order."

It is expected that Order L-335 will be completely revoked by September 30, 1945. In the meantime lumber resumes its normal peacetime movement except {or the one restriction giving preference to a priority rating over an unrated order.

It has been suggested to lumber dealers by their Associations that they may continue to take certificates and ratings when available from their customers in case they may need these to get lumber from their supplier. No special authorization is now required for western pine or restricted hardwoocls. No more restrictions remain on the distributors as in Direction 8, as lumber can be sold unrated as long as it does not interfere with the filling of a rated order.

Order L-41

A new direction to Order L-41 has been issued which allows industrial construction to proceed without WPB permission if construction is of or on a factory plant or other unit, where the unit is to be used for the manufacturing, processing, or assembly of any goods or materials. Restrictions have been retained on private housing, public works, and commercial construction.

It has been indicated in Washington, however, that Order L-41 will be completely eliminated by September 30, 1945.

Amendment L2 to RMPR-26

This amendment permitted increases at the mill on boards and shiplap, to be effective until Direction l-a to Order L-335 was revoked. Dealers must reduce their prices accordingly as Direction l-a was revoked August 2I,1945.

Lurnber Production

Production in all West Coast producing regions for the week ended August 18 was the lowest this year, except for the rveek ended July 7, as a result of layoffs by workers to celebrate the end of the war. Forest fires in the Northwest have hampered production in certain areas, and the fire

hazard is now at its highest point. The big complaint of sawmill operators, however, is still shortage of manpower, but it is believed that many former loggers and sawmill workers now released from war industries and the armed services will soon be back on the job, and that production should begin to show an increase in the very near future' The announcement that the Army had cancelled orders for 900,000,000 feet, widely publicized on the radio and in the newspapers, gave the consuming public the idea that this big footage represented actual lumber on hand at the mills, instead of orders on their books'

CPA Dissolved Soon

The Central Procurement Agency will hold no more lumber auctions, and this organization will be dissolved at an early date.

FHA Resumes Loan Program

The Federal Housing Administration announced August 25 that it is ready to resume its prewar program for insuring mortgages on new homes. The program had been virtually suspended, except on repairs and resale homes, for lack of new building. Private banks all over the country are ready to lend the money with FHA backing.

Priority Rctings Will Be Scrcpped September 30

The whole series of priority ratings-AA-l, AA-2, AA-3 and AA-4 will be scrapped by WPB as of September 30. In their place will be a simple two band priority system. Military producefs. will get an MM rating. A junior rating called CC will be created. The CC rating will be used sparingly, WPB stated. It will be granted to a company which needs to break a serious reconversion bottleneck in materials or equipment. Othenvise non-military production will get no priority help.

Tcrx Cuts Plcrnned

Washington, Aug. 23.*A flat percentage cut in personal income taxes and reduction or elimination of excess profit levies on corporate income were reported under strong consideration today in Congress. The tax reductions would be applicable to 1946 income.

TICTORY

We earnestly thank God for a Victory that came quickly, saving untold lives, hastening the return of loved ones.

Today our entire production resumes its task of providing homes for a peaceful America.

Plywood Control Orders Rescinded

As a result of the rescinding of plywood control orders L-l50 and L-150-a on August 22, 1945,lumber dealers can now buy and sell plywood without ratings. This is one o[ the best items of nelr's that dealers and the plywood industry have received in a long time.

The following telegram, which was received by 'I'he California Lumber Merchant on August 18 from W. E. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association and Fir Door Institute, Tacoma, Wash., is self-explanatory, and is of interest to all dealers in plyrvood and fir doors:

WPB advises rescinding all limitation orders Plyrvood effective date will be announced Saturday, August 18. Norn' appears that any future government orders will be handled under General Priority System PR 29 dated June 30,1945, with balance of production immediately moving into peacetime channels. Under limitation order approximately 35 per cent of all government orders allocated to 325 distributing warehouses selected by WPB. This percentage, which formerly could be released only for direct war uses, now can imrnediately be transferred to retailers' inventories.

Controlled Mctericls Plan To Be Revoked Sept. 30

The comg-licated Controlled Materials Plan rvill be revoked as of September 30. This was the master system for regulating the florv of steel, copper and aluminum. IJnder CN{P the Army and Navy got rations of metal. They rationed it in turn to contractors, the contractors to subcontractors and so on.

The agency directed cancellation, effective ir.r-rmediately, of all allotments of steel, copper and aluminum for the fourth quarter of 19.15 and all sultsequent quarters.

Elected Mills College Trustee

Leonard C. Hammond, president of Hammond Lumber Company, San Francisco, was recently elected a trustee of Mills College, Oakland, the west's oldest college for *ome.r. He succeeds John P. Coughlan, who has served on the board since 1934.

Jobbers not now qualified under present WPB allocation order may place their orders with Plywood mills and these orders will be processed in the order of their acceptance. Estimate present inventory in distributing warehouses totals thirty million square feet while present estimate of amount required to bring inventories in all jobbers' warehouses back to normal is two hundred million square feet. Since Plywood has been virtually eliminated from dealers' inventories it is expected that jobbers' stocks rvill move to dealers in steady flow until all dealers have some inventory available. l{owever, it is abvious that it rvill be some time before dealers' stocks reach normal prewar levels although with the expanded capacity of Plywood industry this may not take as long as has been pessi, mistically predicted prior to VJ Day. Surveys have shor,r'tr that dealers anticipate carrying postwar inventories of Plywood that will average hundred per cent higher than prewar stock requirements. Industry advocates that jobber-s and dealers place orders for requirements u'ith regular sources of supply immediately. Cancellation of lumber contracts yesterday means that supply of shop lumber should immediately be easier and production of fir doors therefore should improve somewhat.

Lumber Strike Bcllots To Be Mciled To 40,000

Portland, August 20.-National Labor Relations Board has cornpleted plans for taking its first big strike ballot since the war ended-a poll of some 4O,00O A. F. of L. lumber workers in five western states. Unionists have applied for aZ}-cent hourly wage increase, r,vhich would boost the minimurn to $1.10.

Thomas P. Graham, Jr., regional director of NLRB, said at Seattle that 40,000 ballots will be mailed to workers involved. Each rvill receive his individual ballot. which must be mailed back by midnight of either Aug. D or Sept. 1, depending on rvhich district ,council he belongs to.

N{r. Gral-ram said it will be the largest strike election ever conducted by mail. Mail balloting was chosen, he said, because of the tremendous task involved in setting up local election machinery in isolated logging camps and sawmill settlements throughout the Pacific northwest.

Washington, Aug. 2U-The Central Procurement Agency of the Army Engineers, which buys lumber for all direct militdry purposes, already has cancelled orders for 900 million board feet, it was stated here today.

500,000 New Homes in 1946

Hugh Potter, 'construction coordinator of the Office of War Mobilization & Reconversion, estimated recently that 15 million new homes would be built in the next 10 years, 500,000 of them in 1946, but not many in the remainder oI 1945.

Business Hails Ecsing oI Credit Buying

Washington, Aug. 2l-Leaders in the banking and credit fields today hailed reports that the government may soon relax consqmer credit ,controls as a move that will prepare the financing industry to handle the flow of civilian goods when production gets under way.

The regulation flaced curbs on installment buying, specifying that on installment purchases the buyer must pay one-third down and the balance within a year.

Some Tires Freed

All farm implement and industrial type tires are ration free today, the Office of Price Administration announced, August 21.

Truck tires and passenger car tires remain on the ration list.

In removing farm implement and industrial tires from rationing Price Administrator Bowles said the WPB had advised him'there are ample supplies of all sizes and types including tractor tires.

He added, however, that the shortage of both passenger and truck tires is still so acute thev must continue to be rationed.

ilIost ilIaterials Hard to Bny

How will it be when our brave boy comes back And greets the land he battled for, once more ? How will we look upon the gun and pack He shouldered in our names on foreign shore? What will we do when he lays down his arms, And lets us know he would resume the place He left when called away by war's alarms? Will we throw wide our doors-or turn our face? He fought that WE might have that job to giveThat we might have a business to enjoyThat WE might have the wherewithal to liveShall WE deny those things to that brave boy?

.Aye, friend, it is a little thing to doA job for one who gave his all for you !

Soldier rest ! Thy warfare o'er. Sleep the sleep that knows not waking; Dream of battlefields no more, Days of danger, nights of waking.

-Sir Walter Scott. ***

All those old enough to remember lvere impressed with the abrupt difference between the ending of World War One and World War Two. In 1918 we were fighting furi ously. Then an armistice was announced, the Germans laid down their guns that minufs-and the whole thing was over. We celebrated furiously for a day, and then went back to our normal way of living, with no great problems on our minds. World War Two had a dragged out ending, taking many days to bring about what the blowing of a horn did automatically in 1918. The chief reason, the Germans, with all their faults, are human, think logically. The Japs have a lot of monkey in their mentalities. *d<*

There are great physical differences between the endings of the two great wars. When we finished World War One we found ourselves rich, powerful, possessed of great quantities of everything we had any need of to take up the paths of peace. We had money galore, a debt so small that we soon nearly wiped it out, and we had plenty of the comforts and necessities of life. We had some feeding of starving people to look after in Europe, but that was comparatively small, and we did it skilfully, practically, and intelligently. Then we turned our eyes homeward to what looked like a bright and glorious future. There was nothing ahead of. us to be afraid of, so far as our human eyes could see. ***

This time it is far different. We have spent three hundred billions of dollars on the war. We have mortgaged our future, and the future of our children for generations to come. Our pantry is empty. Our shelves are empty. Our bins are

empty. Our warehouses are empty. Our clothes closets are pretty bare. We have unlimited possibilities of recovery, however. We have our limitless agricultural fields. We have the greatest industrial plant ever devised, ready to be reconverted into peacetime things. We have a great, intelligent, courageous people. We still have the ability to finance anything we wish to undertake. But there are a couple of billion people scattered over the world most of whom seem to be looking to us alone for every sort of help. Our position is difiEcult-worrisome. We can't let the world go hungry, naked, and troubled. But the size of the job makes us wake up from t:"Y sleep at night, gasping.

We are nothing like as carefree and confident of our future happiness and prosperity as we were in 1919. We have finished a long and terrible struggle; but we all know that we have a terrific if less bloody one, staring us in the face. We have need of all our courage, and all our skill, to work our way through the troubles that beset our footsteps. We have. troubles at home, radicalism lifts its head higher every day, and we have a right to be "sore afraid" at some of the things we hear, and see and read.

In the lumber and buildinJin;ustries there is likewise a vast difference between now and at the beginning of 1919. At that time we had plenty of lumber and of all other building materials. Today the lumber slate is clean. So is that of most other building materials. We have the greatest job of building, rebuilding, repairing, remodeling to do that was ever dreamed of. All we need is the building materials. iWe will have plenty of men as they come from the army, navy, and war plants.

The First World War ended on November llth, 1918. Just two days later the government remov,ed all building restrictions up to ten thousand dollar units; and ten days later, on November 23rd,,it removed all restrictions of every character on building and on building materials.

On November 22nd and 23rd, 1918, a called mass meeting of the entire lumber industry was held in Chicago. It was the biggest meeting of the kind in lumber history. They came from every district and stat'e, and the problems of peace were thoroughly threshed out at that time, and an understanding of the situation arrived at that could have been done in no other way. The lumber folks went home from that meeting, "raring to go."

(Continued from Page 8) time, remains to be seen. There is no possibility that all restrictions and regulations could be removed as quickly as they were in 1918. Conditions would never permit it. Price and other controls will undoubtedly persist until it is safe to get rid of them. But many building restrictions are going quicklY'

* :r x

Unlike most other war industries, the lumber industry and most of the other building material production industries, need no reconversion of production units. There is great opportunity for speedy reconversion of the industry for that reason. The mills and factories were ready to cut civilian products on an hour's notice. **+

Today the business man is watching every turn of the busincss.wheel to see what is happening. He is keeping up will alt changes in rules and regulations that have to do with his business. These changes have been coming fast, and they will be coming still faster. The great national business machine is up, eager, alert, and fairly chafing at the bit, every man eager to get back into high gear in the business groove. Surely if we do not successfully tide over the switch from war to peace, it will not be from want of enthusiasm on the part of the business men of the nation. They want to get back full tilt into business as it used to be, with every opportunity for investing their wits and their energies in worthwhile fashion. The day of }he practical man, of the high-geared working man, of the keen-witted business man, is back. It has been on a long, long vacation. But it is here again. It will be worth watching.

*r<t<

Every foot of building material that can be made available for civilian use, will go flying into buildings. There is need for all that can be had for months and for years to come. EVERY

SINGLE CAPABLE BUILDING WORKER THE ARMED FORCES CAN RELEASE CAN FIND SPLENDID EMPLOYMENT

IN THE LUMBER INDUSTRIES IF THE MATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION ARE TO BE HAD. That is the only limitation. The possibilities are so great and the developments will be so continuous, that we must watch closely every move. The next year will be the busiest year in building history. It will probably*be*the most trying.

As this is written the lumber business is a mad scramble. Worlds of war orders have been cancelled, most of them by wire. Many of them have b'een retained. How many will stand, how many will fall, remains to be seen as every department and agency of the war effort examines its order files and its stock piles and checks them against possible future needs. From the time the radio announced the capitulation of Japan the telephones of the sawmills have rung almost continuously by lumber buyers wanting lumber. Quite a difficult job for the mills determining what they

have and will have to sell. Every day brings developments. The labor problem at this moment takes precedence over all others. Getting millions of men who have been making from two to five times as much wages as they ever did before, back into the peace picture, is some job.

*:f:f

Talked to a boy who is working in a great shipyard, and has been for two years. He left the farm where he was making forty dollars a month and board, and started at $45.00 a week in the shipyard. He learned a lot and is now in the one hundred dollar a week bracket. I asked him what he is going to -do when they let him off the shipyaril payroll. He said he was going to the farm. That surprised me. But he said all the farm boys he knew in the shipyard were going to do the same. IIe said he would miss the big paycheck, but he was tired of living uncomfortably in a hole in the wall, and tired of the regimentation that naturally prevails in a great industrial plant. He said he would feel like a rnan getting out of jail when he hit the farm again. I hope millions of farm boys feel that same way. It would help reconversion a lot. Seems to me his attitude is easy to understand. A farm job will be mighty restful after the strange driving conditions of the shipyard.

*,f{<

The biggest problem connected with postwar labor is one not often mentioned. It was well pointed out by a young man with an army flyer's insignia and a captain's bars, and many overseas ribbons and things. He had been watching a conspicuous example of the indifference and inefficiency of a sales person. IIe remarked aloud, with a good soldierly smile: "Won't it be wonderful when people have to start earning their wages again?" He was talking of the millions upon millions of lazy, indifferent, rude, impractical, stupid, "don't you know there's a war on" type of people who have been holding overpaid jobs because there was no one else to be had. Where does the "jobs for all" program fit them? And they are everywhere, in everything.

President Truman t" J.;"J a touch of genius in the able and abrupt manner in which he has bien slashing the shackles of war from the wrists of the people. That he senses their mental attitude is clear, and their mental attitude favors freedom from restrictions at the earliest possible moment. Take Lend Lease. One day the ballyhoo boys in Washington are telling us Lend Lease is vital and must continue. The next day Truman killed it dead. Since the waste of billions through Lend Lease will no doubt be a political weapon next year, his prompt action is wise politically as well as otherwise. One day our meat markets are empty and no relief in sight. The next day we are told meat rationing rapidly approaches an end. His frankness and willingness to tell the truth about these situations wins him friends. We are going back toward normal things at a tremendous rate, and Truman is doing the ordering.

RECONVERSION

will talce less time in the lumber industry than in almost any othet you could rrdlrr€.

The sawmills made a fine record in supplying Uncle Sam's war needs, and we think they will do a nice job in meeting the country's need for lumber in the next few years.

The Quick Reply

The doorbell rang. Looking out an upstairs window the lady of the house saw a man who had the appearance of a salesman. She shouted in a shrill voice:

"I don't need none."

The salesman called calmly back: "How do you know you don't? I might be selling grammars."

Knew Hirs Scripture

A young unmarried clergyman was so continually chased by the single ladies of his congregation that he quit his pastorate and accepted one some distance away. Later he met the young and unmarried preacher who succeeded him, and asked:

"How are you making out with all those young women?"

The other said: "Fine. I find there is safety in numbers."

"Numbers may do the trick for you," said the first one, "but I found my safety only in Exodus."

The Drcrwback

Scientists report that there is a vitamin in molasses that prevents the hair from turning grey. But it must make it awful hard to get the hat off.

To Be Home Builders

To be builders of homes-not merely sellers of lumberis the God given heritage of the lumber industry, and should be treasured as such. Not merely to trafEc in the barter and sale of boards; not merely to labor with the desire to turn forests into profits; none of these things are the real heritage of the lumber industry.

The dearest thing to the hearts of any right made man or woman-next to cherishing each other and the little ones that Providence has sent them-is the desire for a home. It is a charm that creeps into the hearts of rich and poor alike. It is a bond of friendship between those who labor and those who are blessed with this world's goods. To own a home. To say as you return from your day of laborwhether it be from a field of waving corn or from a mahogany desk-"This is my hearthstone," brings a satisfaction so filled with goodness and so free from alloy as to deserve the name of blessed.

The home builder is the nation maker. You may safely judge a district, a state, a city, or a nation-by its homes. The ancient love of man for his shelter has gone down into song and story from ages that are now dim with the dusk of the past; the home that holds for woman "all the treasures of her mind, her heart" must continue to be a guilding star to the Wise Men of the future.

To be peddlers of boards is a little thing. To be home builders to a great nation is a title that knows no peer.

Got q Jcrp Lcst Nigrht

(They sing this to the tune of "I was drunk last night.") I got a Jap last night, a Jap the night before, I'll get a Jap tonight that has never been got before, When I see a Jap I'm as happy as can be, For I am a member of the Fight Family.

Chorus

Glorious, glorious, a squadron of Japs against four of us, Glory be to God there are no more'of us, For four of us can lick'em all alone.

Ecting Bhymes

Now I sit me down to eat, I pray the cook has got some meat; If they have cut down more on sweets, I'll crave no waffles with my eats.

Little spoons of sugar, That we never get, Sweeten up our Victory, O'er the Jap, you bet.* *

Where, O where has my little steak gone? Where, O where can it be? With those good french fried, Onions by their sideAll covered with good gravee.

How Sleep The Brave

How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest? When spring with dewy fingers, cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould. She there shall dress a sweeter sod, Than fancy's feet have ever trod.

By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. There honour comes, a pilgrim grey, To bless the turf that wraps their clay And freedom shall a while repair, To dwell, a weeping hermit, there.

l,V}crt Success Is

Every time I do unto the public what I would like the public to do unto me, the standard of my service is improved, the public seems to understand, and, after a while I reap a reward. But that is not the big punch.

Reverse this plan. Let me treat the public unfaifly and see how soon my business will dwindle. And still, this is not the thought.

Let me suffer from chronic crookedness and a cankered conscience, and where would be the fun of living?

Some ldeas for Helping Ex-service Men Make Money Along Building Lines

Bv Jack

It has been well said that the most unexplored place in the world is under your hat.

The men of the building and lumber industry should be lying awake nights right now, putting that unexplored territory to work in the world's most worthy cause-creating profitable employment for returning service men. And when I say that I believe hundreds of thousands of good men just out of uniform can secure highly profrtable employment in various ends of the building business, and at the same time confer services on the public that said public will appreciate and gladly pay for, I mean just that.

Let me tell you of trvo highly profitable lines of employment that ex-service men are doing right now in a couple of cities I am acquainted with. With these in mind the natural inventiveness of the building folks will go ahead and dig up plenty more. For you can multiply these two activities alone into thousands and thousands just like it all over the country. And every new idea thus developed can be thus multiplied until the profitable employment thus devised will stretch out to fill the pockets and the lives of a great army of service men.

A man recently quit a mighty good job to become a painting specialist, and an employing partner of a whole group of ex-service men. He has gone into the painting business, specializing in homes and home surroundings, in a brand new way. He bought four trucks. He equipped them with all the paraphernalia needed by a group of painters. He is hiring ex-service men only for his workers. They do not have to have painting experience. He is teaching them, and will follow up their work to see that it is done right. There will be a crew of men on each truck, probably either four or six to a truck.

He solicits paint jobs, quoting flat prices. A truck goes to the job, the gang goes to work all over the house, and the job is done in a small part of the time it usually takes for house painting. It is right-now service. You want your house painte-d, you agree on a price, and the next thing you know the job is done, and the truck goes on to the next job.

This man's offrce is painting headquarters. Today if you want a paint job done, you go to your local paint store, they find a painter for you, and in the course of time you get some painting done. This new idea tells you just when the job will be started and finished, and tl-rere are no long waits. It's paint service, this fellow has in mind. And he is already at it with four trucks, and four crelvs ef exservice men. If you will stop to think, many good reasons why ex-service men will have advantages over any others, will occur to vou, in addition to the rvorthy plan of finding veterans good jobs.

The whole country is woefullv crying aloud for paint.

Dionne

There isn't a place in the country where this man's idea cannot be put into permanent practice, to the great advantage of the citizenship, who will get paint service they never dreamed of before. In the city where these four trucks are now operating, it would probably require fifty such trucks for years on end to catch up with the salable painting needs. And it pays in a big way. Every man on those trucks can share in the profits, and all of them can make more money than they ever did in their lives before. And how they would improve a town !

Now the second one. I saw two men with a pick-up truck, a small concrete mixer, and the sand, cement, and tools needed for the job, going from house to house, ringing door bells, and offering for sale concrete work, mostly sidewalks, largely repairs and small replacements. It impressed me so much that I talked to them. They will do anything in the line of small concrete jobs-RIGHT NOW. They will replace a worn split or defective piece of sidewalk. They will put in a new walk if desired. But they do all the rvork themselves, they do it as soon as they take the order and in a few minutes they have made the repair or replacement and gone next door asking for more work'

T}IEY TOLD 1\{E THAT THEY SELDOM PASS A HOUSE WITHOUT A SALE OF SOME SORT. Everybody needs a little concrete job done. The home owner may not realize it until the salesman with the concrete mixer comes along, but when he looks around he quickly discovers'some concrete needs. And so these men go from door to door with their right-now concrete service. And they can go on for years and years in that town ancl never begin even to scratch the surface of the possibilities. Just as a wild guess I would say that several hundred men doing the same thing could find profitable and permanent employment in that city just that way. And do they make money ? They told me just enough to make me realize that those two men with their little piece jobs at a flat price are making a lot more money than the local bank presidents; and not over-charging anybody. Just giving service, right now.

Those are the two I have seen operate lately. I have another idea of my own that would be a sure fire success. Two men with a truck equipped to do little jobs of every kind around the home, could go from door to door offering their services. Do you suppose there is a single home in A,merica today that does not need the services of some handy men with some handy materials that they are expert in using? Carpenter work, cement work, fixing windows, painting, papering, a bit of plumbing, a bit of shelving, refitting doors, replacing small wooden things here and there, fixing locks, fixing anything on the place that was out of fix. Don't you know the house wife would thank the,:Lord for such service? I know a handy man in our neighborhood who does all such work, on call. It takes

several weeks to get him after you put in your bid for his services. Think of a couple of much handier men, with materials, tools, and right-now service, knocking at your door. E,very town, no matter how small, would support at least one such truck. Big towns could use a battery of them. They co.uld be profitable and permanent, and be real town builders.

How many more can you think of? Write me some of the things you have in mind, or have seen done. The building industry could easily employ half a million men doing things not usually listed as building activities; and make good money for good ex-service men. Let's make these plans only for ex-service men. There are many good reasons.

Production controls were dropped on hundreds of items in the last 1O days by the WPB in the effort to aid industrial reconversion. Among the limitations lifted were those on radios, refrgierators, washing machines, trucks for civilian use, laundry equipment, oil burning equipment, construction machinery, shipping containers, electric fans, domestic stoves and electric ranges.

All production quotas on passenger automobiles were removed August 24. The industry estimates 1945 production at 500,@0. Also removed were restrictions on production of taxicabs and ambulances.

The ODT has ruled that new commercial trucks made before January I, 1943 will no longer be rationed. Only about 300 are available.

The Building Code of Hammilrilhi

Some four thousand years ago there rvas a King in l3abylon named Hammurabi. He was a very r-ise man. In fact religious scholars declare that most of the gist of the Ten Commandments of Moses were taken frorn some of the many codes which this King rvas author of. So his building code may be of interest, for these are the building rules of that great King:

No. 228: If a builder build a house for a man and conrplete it, that man shall give him two sheckels of silver per SAR of that house as his wage. (No, we don't knorv what a SAR was.)

I\o.229: If a.builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction firm, and the house which he has built collapses and causes the death of the owner of the house that builder shall be put to death.

No.230: If it cause the death of a son of the ou'ner of the house, they shall put to death a son of the builder.

No. 231 : If it cause the death of a slave of the orvner ol the house, he shall give to the owner of the honse a slave of equal value.

No.232: If it destroy property, he shall restore rvhatever it destroyed, and because he did not make the house which he built firm and it collapsed, he shall rebuild the house rvhich collapsed from his own property and at his own exPense.

No. 233: If a builder build a house for a rnan and do not make its construction rneet the reguirements and the u'ail fall in, that builder shall strengthen that wall at his o.rvn exDense.

Don is Lieutenant Senior Grade USNR,.skipper of L.S.T. 747, a ship that has seen considerable action, and by the end of the rvar had more than 13 months' continuous duty, and whose adventures include r.veathering a typhoon, hitting a mine, helping to bring dorvn a Kamikaze job, and later to shoot dorvn seven Jap planes in 30 minutes, ancl of course took part in many invasions. The ship operated u'itl-r the Third Fleet.

Opens New Celouete Plant

The Celotex Corporation, Chiqago, has announced that lightweight Celocrete aggregate will be manufactured in a recently opened government owned plant at South Chicago, Illinois. Production was expected to begin the first week in August.

The plant is operated by the Republic Steel Corporation and is ideally situated to take care of an increasing demand for lightweight aggregate for concrete construction in the midwest states.

The expanded slag of whiclr Celocrete aggregate is cotnposed is manufactured in this new plant by the most modern methods and equipment. Crusher, screens and expanding machine are all of the very latest type. The plant itself is the largest of its kind in the United States.

When The Celotex Corporation first began the merchandising of lightweight aggregate seven years ag'o, the program called for plants strategically located throughout thc country, but this program has had to be somewhat modified due to war conditions. The South Chicago plant brings the total .number of Celocr.ete manufacturing units to five. Other plants are located at Cleveland, Bufialo, Pittsburgh and Troy, N. Y., and the building of still others is contemplated as conditions permit.

Shipment from the South Chicago can be made by for about rail or highrv:iy. Storage facilities are available 30 carloads of finished material in covered bins.

Concrete products manufacturers are experiencing an increasing preference for lightweight materials manufactured from expanded slag products for many types of construction. Durability, insulation against both heat and sound, lightness in weight and color, and workability, are some of the properties of these materials which have come to be recognized by consumers in growing numbers.

Hope of the World

There is a ship with magic sails, That never have been unfurled; She lies in the harbor of Splendid Dreams And her name is, Hope of the World. She is freighted with treasures of infinite worth, For the children of men to share, Peace and Justice and Liberty And Freedom from fear and despair.

Wisdom and Courage chart the course, As the great ship puts to sea, And into the shades of departing night Shines the Star of her Destiny. Through the Golden Gate of Faith Supreme, She goes on her seaward way, With sails unfurled in the dawning light Of a glad and confiden{ day.

But will she meet with adverse fate, As she drives through an unknown sea, With her priceless cargo of Human Rights For the One World yet to be ? Will the vapors of doubt and fear arise, To darken her onward way? Will surly tempests of hate and wrath The Hope of the World betray?

'We cannot know, but we believe, That favorittg *ittds will blow, Where sunlit billows bear her on And singing currents flow; And our faith in her mission will glow and burn, In our hearts like a Sacred Fire, 'Til she comes at last to the llaven of Peace In the Islands of Heart's Desire.

-A. Merriam Conner.
