A Last "Last Call"-Compton Orange County Lumbcrmen Hold

Personally Pledges $tooo Golf Tournamcnt

Washington, Oct. 2I.-The last call for the "Sunlight House" at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago didn't. quite turn the trick. But it came so near that instead of facing the ignominy of no lumber house exhibit, Walter F. Shaw, Trade Extension Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, who has been leading the drive, has decided to make another and final call.

Mr. Shaw in his last "last appeal" has written letters to 1-00 lumber manufacturers who have not yet contributed to the lumber house at the Exposition, making an earnest personal appeal to each of them to give $1.00 or more to the fund. He has also written to 22 manafacturers' and retailers' associations urging them to make an ultimate appeal to their membership. With these letters there went a list of contributions summarized by states and also a list of the names of contributors from the _territory especially represented by each association. Attention is called to the possibilities of group contributions as illustrated by gift of $181 collected by a large City Club from its members, $15 from a smaller City group, and $25 from the employes of the Union Lumber Company, San Francisco; $5.00 from 4L employes at the iate of five cents each and $1,000 from employes of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company.

The grand total now stands at over $4,000. As of October 18 less than $2,000 remains to be subscribed. If by any chance the last-hour rush should carry the total over the necessary funds, contributors of the surplus will receive credit for their good intentions in case it should be necessary to return their money.

Arrangements have been made s,o that subscriptions received up to November 15 will be applicable.

On hearing that the second extension of time for contributions had fallen short, Mr. Compton wrote to Mr. Shaw, who has been responsible for initiating the "Sunlight House" fund, as follows:

"ft seems to me that this project must not be allowed to fail. A number of the principal timber and lumber companies have responded to your appeal. In the face of your convincing argument I am astonished that more of them have not done so, and I still believe that the response up to date does not represent the lumber industry's estimate of the importance to it of being represented at this Exposition.

"Of course I know of your deep interest in putting this project through, and from your occasional report I know that the prompt cooperation of many gfoups has given you encouragement notwithstanding the di3courag€ment due to thi indifrerence of others. Understanding that the arangeftents with the Chicago Exposition authorities will permit this, I suggest that you make a third effort to secure the eompletion of this necessary fund and as a further encorragerhent I will personally contribute such part or all of a thousand dollars as may be necessary to complete this fund."
