TovELY to look at, that cake. But how good it -! tastes depends on what went into tbe recipe.

\7ith building products, too, ir's what's insid.e that decides their quality of performance. That's why so many people insisr on Celotex Building and Insulating Products.

For the raw materials that go into Celotex are the best that nature can grow and money can buy.

Rigid production controls all along the line guarantee uniformly high quality of every product bearing the Celotex name.

Tireless laboratory research perfects materials and methods still more. helps to maiotain Celotex leadership yevr aftet yeu.

These-plus more than a quarter of a century of building msterials "know-how"- are the invaluable ingredients in every Celotex product.

There aren't enough of thesefamousCelotexproducts to go around rzoa-but rest assured as soon as building producrs generally become available, 1'ou ll be able to get all the Celotex you need.

A philosopher was the drunk who sat in a night spot while a gal with the orchestra sang in throbbing tones the popular ditty: "'I'm laughing on the outside, crying on the inside." Said the drunk sq that all around might hear him; "You know yourself, a fellow could drown that way." *>fi*

And a late saying of Confucius is: "The salesman who covers chair instead of territory, always on bottom."

According to written history, his disciple Tzu-lu once said to Confucius: "'What makes a gentleman?" the great Chinese teacher replied: "'A gentleman nrne aims: to see clearly; to understand what he warm in manner; dignified in bearing; fai keen at work; to ask when in doubt; to think of difficulties; and in sight of gain, to of right." *:N(,k

Says Fortune: "If we are to meet the challenge of atomic fission. we must cure the fission that exists in men's minds and in their hearts. In this sense it appears that the problem is not mechanical, or even just political, but spiritual and personal."

James Street wrote a book named "The Gauntlet," in which he makes a character utter this prayer:: "Lord, give me the courage to try to change things that should be changed for the good of mankind, serenity to accept things that should not be changed, and sense enough to know the difference."

William Allen White, the sage of Ernpd, Kansas, said: "Liberty is the one thing you can't tyfLe unless you give it to others." f

That smacks of the other piece of philosophy to the effect that you can't smear happiness on others, without getting some of it on yourself at the same time. ***

What's been happening to the stock market of late, reminds me of what a man who had been through the wringer in L932, said on the subject of investmeats. His remark was: "The next'stock I buy is going to have four legs,

Collier's printed a letter from a reader expressing the opinion that the current national labor policy reminded him of the technique of a one-time Mayor of Indianapolis, Lew Shank. One day the Ladies' Aid Society telephoned Mr. Shank asking him to lend them fifty chairs. He replied that there were fifty chairs over at the fire department headquarters and that they could go and take them. When the fire chief arrived he found the chairs gone, so he tellephoned the Mayor stating that he was about to hold a meeting and needed fifty chairs right quick. His Honor told him: "The Ladies' Aid Society has fifty chair$; go get them"'{<**l

BUIIJDING SPECIAIJTIES

(Continuecl from Page 8) are of great future importance to us, and the development of their goodwill and their trade can be vital to the future of the United States. Just gd<e the matter of their size, for instance. Did you knoy' that: Mexico is about onefourth as big as the \it# fiatesl; Guatemala is about the size of New Vort< $/tf ; Honduras is about as big as Pennsylvania?; El Sah[d6r is twice as big as Vermont?; Nicaragua is twice as big as Michigan?; Costa Rica is about the size of West Virginia?; Panama is about the size of Indiana?; Cuba.is about as big as Louisiana?; the Dominican Republic is a little smaller than West Virginia?; and that Haiti, smaller in area than Mdryland is the smallest American republic, and with three million popula:ion is the most densely populated independent nation in the world? ***

Is this an old or a young man's world? The evidence seems to be that when it comes to carrying a gun, or labor that requires strength and staying qualities, the world is dominated by the young. But when it comes to the thinking end of living, the older men prevail, and are the most productive. An examination of the careers of some four ' hundred men-the most notable of their time and outstanding in many ways-5fteq75 that the decade between the ages of 60 and 70 is the best, according to these statistics. Between these years came 35 per cent of the world's best achievements. The time between 70 and 80 years produced 23 per cent; after 80 years, 8 per cent. Add them up and you find that a total of 64 per cent of the world's great achievements have been those of men over 60. Let that be consolation for you, you oldsters.

Who will the leading f.r.tTl."1-.n of this country be a generation hence? How many of them will be veterans of World War II? Believing that the vets of the recent war have a marvelous opportunity for future success and for outstanding leadership, one of the great advertising agencies, N. W. Ayer & Son, Inc., bought advertising space to hand out a message of hope and cheer to those who served their country well. They advised the vets of today to judge the future by the past and present, and offered them these facts and figures:

*rk*

They cited 143 top business men of this country TODAy, and went back over their careers to show how they grew. They showed that 27 years ago most of these successful business men of today came back from World War f, and began at the bottom. One of them started work for $1.50 a week. Eleven others started work at less than $5 a week. Forty-three others started work for less than $10 a week. Eighty-one others got jobs that paid between $10 and $25 a week. Only seven of these 143 business leaders of today got over $25 a week to start life over. The' average first week wage for these 143 men was $13.40 a week. AND TODAY THEY ARE AMONG THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS LEADERS OF THIS ENTIRE NATION. The conclusion is that what men have done, men can do, and why should not the veterans bf today have as good a chance to hit the top deck of business anil financial success as did those who came back from that other World War?

And Ayer's draws the conclusion that America's future business top men will be exactly the same kind of men as those others were. "'They will be leaders with courage, ambition, initiative enough to come up the business ladder, rung by rung." Surely that is a message of hope for the vets looking for jobs today. And the text of this thought would seem to be that you don't have to start at the tirp to get to the top. As always, there is plenty of room up there.

of course, those businJr" i."i"r" of a generation hence will only get there by working and thinking harder and better than the rank and file about them. They won't make the grade by asking the question that has been highly vocal in this country of late, which i5-"t{s\ r can I get more by giving and doing less?" No man will climb the ladder very high that way. And they won't accomplish it by spending their time loudly proclaiming their rights. The big trouble today is that so many men speak so loudly and often of their rights, and so softly and seldom of accepting the responsibility that naturally accompanies such rights. The business leaders of the next generation will be made up entirely of men who accept the r'esponsibility of doing harder and better work, and producing more and better things. The theory of "as little as possible for as muth as you can get," never made a leader.

I read the other a"y "forrl " lz-po,rrra head of cabbage that was raised in the State of Washington. It was displayed for a time and then cooked and eaten. Then f saw a picture of a bell-mouthed blunderbuss, standing in the U. S. Senate and speaking loudly in defense of the Soviet LJnion, and Communism. And I thought how differently the various states treat the champion cabbage heads they raise.

"And now, my friends,'l "J " I.*o.r, orator used to say when he was getting ready to annihilate his political foes, "we are approaching a very distasteful subject." So are we. We're going to talk about government bureaus and their unbelievable orders. If you think you've seen some fool orders concerning building materials come out of Washingtorr, (and if you haven't seen thousands you should immediately consult an oculist) then read THIS one and realize that they haven't really done their dizziest with YOUR business.

"No person," says the latest OPA order on the subject of women's skirts, "may distribute or exhibit apparel for feminine wear which does not conform to GOVERNMENT STYLE REGULATIONS." Get it? The sovereign government of the United States issues a solemn order telling all citizens what they can and cannot show or see with regard to women's clothes. Yes, this is still the United States. Yes, the war has been over more than a year. Yes, this is still supposed to be a free country.

Now, I ask you, "friends, Romans, countrymen," just whaT in the hell do you think of the nerve of,a bureau that issues any such orrler to the free people of this country? As Mark Antony said in the conclusion of his famous oration: "f pause for a reply."

A \(/onderful Machine

"Tid-Bits" tells this one:

A bunch of manufacturers and other industrialists were sitting around talking business, and most of them boasted of wonderful new and mechanized equipment and machin" ery of the prewar period, some of them quite boastful of their progress along this line.

Finally a quiet member of the group who had been listening but saying nothing, stuck in his oar to announce that he had that very morning installed a most marvelous piece of machinery in his plant. They wanted to know how it worked, and what it did. He said:

Timber Engineering Co. Moved

Timber Engineering Co. of California, A. C. Horner, manag'er, has moved to 4314 California Street, San Francisco 18. The telephone number is SKyline 7972.

Mr. Horner is also temporarily representing the National Lumber Manufacturers Association on building code work.

"'It is operated by means of a pedal attachment, and a fulcrum lever converts a vertical reciprocal motion into a circular movement. The principal part of the machine is a large disc that revolves in a vertical plane. Power is applied through the axis of the disc, the work is done on the periphery, and the hardest steel is reduced to any required shape by mere impact."

"Great Scott !" exclaimed one of his hearers. "\ltlhat is this marvelous machine?"

And the quiet man, quietly replied: ..A GRINDSTONE."

Ycrd Reopens

The lumber yard formerly operated by A. D. McKinnon at Hollister, Calif., which was closed for sometime has been reopened. Roy Brown, who was'formerly associated with McKinnon's Lumber Yard, is manager. The business will be known as the McKinnon Lumber Company.

Portland, Oregon, for the Lumber

Long range plans are now in pro,cess of development for the company's holdings at Port Gamble, Washington, and St. Helens, Oregon, where the firm operates sawmills. This is in addition to thr! recent acquisition of large timber holdings at Oakridge, Oregon, 38 miles southeast of Eugene, where the company has purchased sizable timber holdings known as the Penn tract. This new field of operation will call for the erection of a saw mill and logging operations on a sustained yield basis that will insure uninterrupted timber harvesting.

Hillman Lueddemann has long been identified with the development of the Pacific Northwest. He is an active member of many organizations which have been responsible for the greater utilization of her resources and waterways. He joined Pope & Talbot, Inc., in 1921, was appointed Northwest manager in 1929 and in 1940 was elected vice president.

ileedeil: Return 0f The Davs 0f ilIiracles An ilditorial

On the third day of September,L946, there went out from the offices of The Lumber Branch of CPA, Washington, D. C., a telegraphic message to the various lumber manufacturing associations of the nation, stating that that body had been charged u'ith a new and great responsibility to be transferred to the shoulders of the lumber making industry. The responsibility is that of expediting deliveries of lumber, millwork, flooring, and plywood to meet the requirements of 2fi),000 FPHA housing units to house veterans and their families at various colleges and universities. Campus housing for veterans, in other words. This program, authorized by Congress, is a part of the Veterans' Housing Program, but, according to the telegrams, takes precedence over the regular program.

It will be remembered that only a few days before this announcement, Mr. Wyatt had publicly announced that thenceforth 80 per cent of our lumber production must be diverted in the direction of veterans' housing. Now comes the notice that this campus housing program takes precedence over the rest of the veterans' program, which in turn takes precedence over all other building. The September third notification says that "we will, if necessary, issue MANDATORY DIRECTIVES to fill these orders."

And that is just what has happened. Mandatory di-

rectives have been issued for 150,000,000 feet of softwoods, fir, pine and redwood, and this order takes precedence over everything. This new lumber will be backed up by tremendous quantities of used lumber, recovered from torndown barracks and other mililary camp structures all over the country.

The sad and solemn fact is that there isn't enough lumber being made to supply the vital and tragic needs of this postwar world. It looks as though we are trying in vain to feed a multitude with what is comparatively just a basketful of supply. If we direct the flow of materials in one direction, it can only be at the expense of others. There is not enough to go round. The Black Market takes its heavy toll, and will as long as there are regulations and restrictions. Don't let anyone fool you about the size of that leak. It is tremndous.

There are only trvo rvays to solve the problem. We could turn lumber loose, free from all hobbles and restrictive regulations. This, no intelligent and informed man can doubt, would cause a flood of new lumber production. The other alternative is to pray-successfully-for miracles. Since one seems as unlikely to happen as the other, we can only conclude that our tragic lumber shortage will continue to be just that-indefinitely.

Lumber and Timber Conditions In Norway

(From the London Timber News)

Norway is more important as a producer and exporter of pulp products than of lumber, but, nevertheless, before the war she exported sawn wood products to the extent of about 125,000,000 feet annually, which was about one cluarter of her total production. There are roughly 4,000 sar,vmills in Norway, with an average individual capacity of 100,0@ feet per year. The pulp and paper industry, on the other hand, consumes about double the amount of wood required by the lumber industry.

PEERTESS BUILI-IN FIXTURE (0.

BAXCO

During the war the Germans placed a high value on the lr.ood-using industries of Norway, and for that reason left their equipment and productive capacity practically intact. Tl-reir demands for wood products from Norway were large, but no greater than the country's prewar poduction. Delivery of goods, ho'ivever, fell far short of Nazi expectations. During 1940 and 1941 Norway exported very large quanti-. ties of ,forest products to Germany, but in 1942 and subsequent years exports dropped off dramatically. Bi this time prewar stocks of logs and pulpwood had been used up, and low wages, poor living conditions, lack of skilled labor, and sabotage combined to reduce r'voods operations to a small fraction of their normal scale.

As a result Norway is emerging from the war with her forest industries in good running order, and her forest wealth actually increased because, during the period 1941 and 1945, nerv growth exceeded by a substantial margin the volume cut. Before the tvar Norivay managed her forests so that the annual growth exceeded the annual cut by a very small margin-about bne per cent. To do this, approximately 2l per cent of the total volume of standing timber was cut annually.

New Actions Set Aside More Materials For Veterans' Housing

Washington, D. C., Aug. 29.-New broad measures to get large additional amounts of constructiori lumber, hardwood flooring and millwork into the Veterans Emergency Housing Program were announced today by Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt and Civilian Production Administrator John D. Small.

The actions, which follow drastic steps announced yesterday to set aside more materials for housing-and to assure that they are held for that purpose-are'

l. That distributors vrill get, on an annual basis, at least one-third more housing construction lumber from sarvmills, or two carload lots per quarter, whichever is larger.

2;, That distributors who thus get increased shipments frorft sawmills must hold indefinitely 80 per cent of those shipments for certified and rated orders.

3. That, effective immediately, MM ratings issued to the Army and Navy for overseas construction rvill be "revies'ed most carefully" as to their geographical impact and timing.

4. That. all military housing in this country will be similarly reviewed and a rating no higher than an HH (housing) rating will be used for approved amounts' Heretofore, military housing has carried -MM ratings.

5. That every millwork manufacturer or distributor must reserve indefinitely for certified or rated orders 85 per cent of millwork he produces or receives, unless specifically authorized to do otherwise.

6. That every hardwood flooring manufacturer or distributor must resirve irfrilefinitely for HH and MM orders (the latter only for hospitals for the Army, Navy and Veterans Administration) 100 per cent of the residential hardwood flooring he produces or receives, unless specifically authorized to do otherwise.

7. That 75 pet cent'of all housing construction lumber imported into this country be held indefinitely for certi6ed and rated orders.

The action in,creasing distributors' receipts of lumber from sawmills makes available to them each month an amount equal to 10 per cent of their base period stocks (January L,1942), or two carloads per quarter, whichever

is the greater amount. The l0 per cent is an increase over the seven per cent which has been in effect.

It r,r'as pointed out that while lumber production has been increasing steadily, there has been no guarantee that the increases would be channelled into housing units and housing uses, and this new iction is designed to correct that situation.

In all of these stepped-up set-asides AAA priorities are not afiected. Aee ratings are issued very sparingly, usually only in cases of disasters, pnd these would continue to be used as they have previously.

fhe actions today complete current sweeping moves:in cluding the doubling. of the number of materials on the housing priority lists-to bring about the completion .of a vast number of houses and apartments before the snow flies.

The previous actions include:

1. Rated priority orders must be accepted by dealers and distributors up to 75 per cent of their receipts for 43 ol the 57 materials listed on Schedule A of PR 33. Larger proportions of the remaining 14 materials must be set aside indefinitely for HH and other ,ratings.

2. The piacing of. 57 materials in short supply on the priorities list-by the addition of. Z7-will assure builders bf principdl materials to complete houses and apartments.

3. The setting aside indefinitely of key materials, and the keeping of complete records for Government inspection, will result in a far greater flow to housing.

4. A 27 per cent slash in the permitted weekly volume of non-housing construction from the current $48.8 million toward a goal of $35 million. Projects will be tightly screened,

5. There were two orders involving cast iron soil pipe. One provides that at least 93 per cent of the output must be in sizes needed for housing. The other states that no one shall use the product for any purpose except installing, repairing or maintaining sewage disposal systems in buildings and that it shall not be used beyond five feet from the building line, except for replacements.

The list of the 27 add\tional materials which have been added to Schedule A follows:

.Cooking and heating stoves and ranges, including space hbaters; gutters and dow4 spouts; combustion. controls (heating, hot water) ; 'household lighting fixtures, other thari portable; insect screen cloth (metal and plastic) ; metal cabinets-kitchen, bathroom (to be built in); metal weather stripping; oil burners and domestic stokers; plumbing fixture fittings and trim including brass tubular goods; rageways (rigid, flexible and thin wall conduit and conduit fittings for electric wiring) ; septic tanks; steel joists; sforage tanks, oil and water, up to 550 gallons; water heaters ; caulking lead; copper water tubing; cable, metallic or non-metallic sheathing; steel and wrought iron pipe, including galvanized, from three-eights to four inches in diameter and including related nipples and threaded fittings; structural shapes (from steel or aluminum) ; stucco wire mesh; siding (asbestos, cement) ; bituminized-fibre drain and sewer pipe; floor coverings, including felt-base, linoleum, rubber tile, asphalt tile, mastic, shingles, (asbestoscement, wooden and slate) ; range boilers; concrete reinforcing bars and finishing lime.

High Building Costs Scored by Public

Nine out of ten prospective home owners eligible to build under the Wyatt plan consider building costs too high, according to a nation-wide survey recently conducted by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, Chicago.

Only 36.3 per cent of these eligible think that building costs will come down within'he next few years.

The survey shows little variation of opinion between those eligible and those not eligible on the question of high building costs.
