Smart folks, these motor car makers ! You never doubted it, did you? Here they are, bringing out their 1936 models with fanfare and blare of trumpets, right here in the early fall, instead of several months later, as is usually the case. Ilave you stopped to consider why? You should, Mister Lumberman, because the matter directly affects YOU.
''f'f*
Now, I am violating no confidences in telling you this, because just between us girls, neither Mr. Ford, Mr. Sloan, or Mr. Chrysler has told me a thing about it, or about any of their plans. I'm just guessing, you understand? But what a guesser ! I'm guessing that they are throwing their new, shiny, purring, emotion-grabbing models into the public marts early this year for the very simple reason that they want to get the jump on everyone else (just as they have always done), and get first'shot at these billions of Government money that right at this minute is being poured in a huge stream into public pockets. Get it?
The nearly nve uitlionl ;".- *" are turning toose to knock depression loose frorn its knuckles is starting into circulation RIGHT NOW. So far we have been laying plans and letting contracts. But NOW the cash starts to flow. And cash flows fast. Don't doubt it ! So right at this very psychological moment those monumental merchants who manufacture automobiles send their wonderful wares, their beautiful busses, crashing before the public eye. And will that public buy'em? Will they?
They will get not "", an" ,r""'s share, but likewise the tiger's, the elephant's, and the share of all the other important animals, because of the way they go after it. Just as the first thin trickle of the billions that are to flow makes its appearanss-hs1s come the auto shows, the auto demonstrations, the avalanche of interesting, attractive auto advertising. And so it will be that in another month, when the main body of the cash river comes into view, they will have the situation'(like the brave marines) well in hand. What sayeth the sage? "To the victor belongs the spoils." Yea, Bo ! And the auto sales !
The way the auto irra.riry .rrJa ."u defeated the depression is a story that will-or should-live in history. They had one big thing in their favor. They never were regi-
mented, their production never was artificially curtailed, the law of supply and demand continued to regulate their affairs right through the depression, and so they did not have on their raw backs one big yoke that has hurt so many industries. And they never quit selling ! They not only never quit trying, but they increased their efiorts at improving their product at a rate never before dreamed of, and right through the depression people bought cars.
Undoubtedly the succe:" ; ;" automobile industry in keeping production up, employment up, and sales up, was a tremendous factor in taking the bitter edge off the general depression during the past several years. Millions of men remained employed in all branches of the industry, from the production of raw materials to the servicing of the finished product and the production and sale of fuels and lubricants, who might have been added to the bread lines had their industry been less intelligent.
r am entirely convince; tJ; own mind that the millions of people who were kept with good work and good wages by this great industry, marked the difference between depression and PANIC in the last few years. So we all of us have much to thank that industry for.
And now the building ;;.; and the lumber business should take a leaf from their book right at the present moment. Page one would be a good leaf to take. That page says-"Do it NOW !"
The home builder "no.,iu ;": "" even better chance to sell his wares by reason of the flow of Government billions than the auto man, because HIS market is still unsupplied, the great gap that the depression created is still a void. The auto man has been selling lots of cars right along. The home builder has been selling mighty fewalmost none. Yet all this time men and women have been marrying, children have been appearing, youngsters have been growing into adults, with the natural necessary building that all this normally suggests-held in abeyance. Millions of homes have become obsolete. A vacuum never before dreamed of has been created.
The sage said "Nece""lr, *r" lnu *ott ", of invention.,, Surely the lumber industry, the home building industry, (Continued on Page 8)
Gus is just a "country boy" from Pittsburg, but oh, how he knows his Redwood! For fifteen years he pounded up and down the entire State, spreading the gospel of Redwood. Then suddenly he saw the light and knocked at the door of Palco. His reasons for wanting to join "the family" were above reproach-he liked the heat of the Valley so well he wanted to concentrate there.
So now each morning finds Gus up bright and early, calling on the trade in his own chosen h"ppy hunting ground. And each evening, as Gus hits the hay (it is rumored he sleeps on Palco Bark), the mails carry his unfailing orders to the mill while he dreams of the conquests of the morrow.
Here's to Gus Kramer, and Mrs. Gus and Gus, Jr.-and his host of friends in the Sacramento Valley!

has a dire necessity thrust upon it. As prosperity returns to this long depressed land, the need for all the homes that would-under normal conditions-have been built during the past five years, will become acute and oppresqive. We must build those homes, millions upon millions of them' The flow of public cash will (if we take even a small part of the advantage that confronts us) start the ball rolling. And then as private capital emerges from its security, a great home building wave should rise to tidal proportions.
of course we are *"t; ." ,1. *n.a we deserve-what we create. This building tide can be gigantic, or it can be casual. It is going to depend on ourselves, on our intelligence, our interest, our activity. If we sit and wait there will be much building, eventually. Nothing can stop it. But it will be minor compared with what might be accomplished- If the automobile industry waited until January to bring out their new cars, they would lose a million sales, I have no doubt. But they haven't waited. The real question is, what will the lumber industry do?
rndividual activity """ :"":-;ish much. In every city, and town, and hamlet in this land there should be an active home-building and home-selling campaign right now. Men who have been sitting tight for five years and waiting, should sit and wait no longer. Get the thought into the front of your head that this five billion dollars that the Governmbnt is starting to turn loose is the greatest sum of money ever turned loose in the history of this old world. Nothing like it ever happened before ! It is being turned loose so that it will permeate every channel, every human gathering place, every walk of life ! You cannot burst the flood gates that holds that much cash in bondage without a regular Johnstown Flood of money fowing in all directions !
If you knew that . ,rrr"l", """n was going to float right past your door at a certain hour, you'd be out there with a scoop net waiting for it, wouldn't you?
Well, just get the an"rrlnJr"-your head that a river of cash of such proportions that the human mind cannot quite conceive of it, IS FLOWING. It has just started. It will grow in proportions with every week that passes from now on, and will last for a year. ARE YOU OUT THERE READY TO GRAB YOUR SHARE?
Folks, this is REAL ! This is ACTUAL ! What is more, THIS IS CASH ! And the guy that makes the best bid for it, is the guy that is going to get the biggest share of it. That's why I'm devoting this column today to pointing out how the automobile industry is going after it. Look into every auto sales room, into every newspaper, into every magazine, and you'll see what they are doing.
Now, are we going ," *J "
share of that money, and of the private money that this Government money will attract, and will we build a few million badly needed homes, and repair and modernize ten million more?
OR WILL WE JUST SELL THE GARAGES FOR THE NEW CARS?
rt's up to uS ! rt's up ; ;,;! wherever you live, put on a campaign TODAY to grab the loose dollars that show up in your community and turn them into home building channels. tlse your brains to figure a plan, and your ingenuity and energy to put it over.
Lumber Folks, the biltlns*"rJ ,oor" in the land ! What are you going to do to corral your share?

West Coast Lumbermen's Association Rejoins
Col. W. B. Greeley, Secretary and Manager of the West Coast :Lumbermen's Association, will report the full re-
affiliation of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association with the N. L. M. A., effective October 1. This action of the W. C. L. A., voted at a meeting of its Board of Trustees, September 19, is taken to mark the end of the effects of the depression on the National Association as the representative of lumber manufacturers' associations and their common interests.
Preparatory to the rneeting of the Executive Committee, President Watzek and Secretary and Manager Compton of the N. L. Nt. A. are on a tour in which they are visiting the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, the annual meeting of the Western Pine Association at Portland, and are conferring with officers of the West Coast Lumbermen's As-sociation at Seattle and with individual lumber manufacturers in Washington, Oregon and California.
A rneeting of the trustees of American Forest Products Industries follorving the N. L. M. A. directors' meeting will consider AFPI programs in general and Timber Engineering Company matters in particular. It is expected that there will be a rneeting of the directors of the AFPI about October 30, to select nert' officers and executive committee, and to consicler fir-ral action on recommended proj ects.
The plan for American Forest Products Industries, as recommended by the Trade Promotion Committee, provides for the assumption of ownership and control by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the limitation of functions of AFPI to specific, individually authorized and separately financed trade promotion activities which by reason of inadequate finances or less-than-general interest cannot be undertaken by N. L. M. A. There are to be no general trade promotion dues, but small voluntary contributions by intereSted individual manufacturers will be arranged. AFPI projects are to be administered by project committees under authority of a small board of directors. Participation in any particular trade extension project is to be open to any association of manufacturers

Be with me beauty, for the fire is dying, My dog aird I are old, too old for roving, Man whose young passion sets the spindrift flying, Is soon too lame to march, too cold for loving.
I take the books and gather to the fire, Turning old yellow leaves; minute by minute The clock ticks to my heart; a withered wire Moves a thin ghost of music in the spinet.
I cannot sail your seas, I cannot wander, Your corn land, nor your hill land, nor your Ever again, or share the battle yonder Where the young knight the broken squadron
The beauty of fire for the beauty of embers.
The colored driver had been hammering away at the balky mule, trying to get him to start, and in the midst of the beating a big cop walked up on him. The darky was scared.
The cop said: 'oThat's no way to treat a rnule?"
The driver said: "Nossuh."
The cop said: "The way to do is not to beat him. Talk to him. That's the way."
Glad to get off so easily the darky turned to the mule. "Big boy," he said, "Ah comes fum New Awleans. Whah does you come fum?"
See to it that the world of action and the world of thought are no longer two divided hostile camps. Build up the imagination of the boy of decision, and the willpower of the dreamer, so that in the future men will have the nerve to lead the way they have shown, and men of action will have the vision to imagine the consequences of their decisions.-Prince Max of Baden.
He is not drunk who, from the floor, Can rise again and diink some more; But he is drunk who prostrate lies, And cannot drink or cannot rise.
If I could find a single man who'd care, Less for ,my lips than for the words they've said; A single man in all the world who'd dare, To praise my wicked eyes for what they've read; One person who paid homage to my hands For deeds accomplished, rather than their shape; fn short, a super being who'd understand Ife's not among the trees, and still an ape; If in the world one rnan has had the grace To say that only mental things elate him, I must admit I've never seen his face, But if I did, ye Gods, how I would hate him !
