AMERICAN PIYWOOD HARDWOOD PANEIS crnd

(Continued from Page 8) and state that so far a I can judge from eveything on the subject I hear and read, that the nation generally accepts without reservation or demurrer. their own critical verdict. Yet, while agreeing that the critical members of the court are truthful in their self-condemnation, the American people were never in their history more despairing concerning a governmental matter than they are today at the sad and almost unbelievable level to which this once glorious tribunal has fallen. It proves on'e thing: that men picked because of their political beliefs rather than their high talents as jurists, do NOT make a great tribunal of justice.

Said rhomas Jefferson; ,:rri "we have more machinery of Government than is necessary; too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." Franklin Roosevelt said the same thing in public speeches many times in 1932. And, when that subject is raised today, bo'th Jefferson and Roosevelt follow the example of "Old Man River." They t'don't say nuthin'."

Soon we shall be going about the normal things of life again. As the roar of battle dies away, we shall turn our faces to the rebuilding and the upbuilding of our world. Again, as we go about our accustomed tasks with the added burdens that the war destruction has wrought, we shall attempt to dig beneath the words of the great Greek, Themistocles, and find what it is that makes cities grow. You recall that once at a great festival when many had added their music and poetry to the enjoyment of the occasion, they called on Themistocles to do his stuff. And he said to them: "I cannot play upon any stringed instrument, but I can tell you how to make a city grow." Empires have risen and fallen into the dust; dynasties have sprung into arrogance and power, and fallen into disuse and decay since Themistocles uttered that boast. And through all those centuries of time his secret of "how to make a city grow" has been something for thinking men to guess at. But

Lower rtacking corts-just solid edge-to-edge staclcing in the simplest form.

when this war ends the builders of this entire nation will go back, each in his own way, to figuring the thing out. And Mister ! Whether it is done the way Themistocles meant or not, one. thing is certain; o'ur cities are going to grow as they probably never grew before.

One thing I am sure of even beyond the slightest chance or shadow of a doubt, and that is that when the war ends there will arise a building tide in this country such as the most optimistic prophets fail to glimpse. All these years of no building, no real remodeling, no real repairing, just millions and millions of people standing still with regard to buiiding things and building needs. I tell you that you can put your estimates on building to come as high as telephone book figures, and al.t**tl} still fall short-far short.

We customarily think in terms of the millions of new homes that we all know are to be in demand. But we fail to take in the millions upon millions'of other buildings, business buildings of all kinds, of all shapes, of all sizes, of all sorts of materials that the sons of men are going to be crying aloud for. I tell you that there will be tall buildings and small buildings, wide buidings and thin buildings, high buildings and low buildings, and they will spring up in every block, in every nook and corner of this land. Barring an economic and financial flop, these things shall be. They are just as certain as though they had already occurred. Don't doubt it. Get ready for a building tide the like of which the world has never before dreamed of. +** ftmy'ne coming back-carpenters skilfully trained in new techniques . ready with new ideas for building, when that tine cornes.

The philosophy of the war worker in the following story is understandable. He asks for ice cream, and the drug store man says he has none. The war worker says: "For the first time in rny life I'm making enough money to buy the things I want, and now I can't get them. Just now I asked a man for butter, he had no butter. I asked for other things. He did not have them. Now you have no ice crerun. WHEN I WAS ON RELIEF I ATE WELL."

But with your help, they won't have to wait. You can help thern by putting them to work NOW -with insulating jobs using Masonite* Cell-U-Blanket insulation.

You help yourself when you help the carpenters. They're the men who have made your cash register ring through the years. They're the men who will keep it ringing for you in the years to come.

Insulation is needed itr buildings now. Masonite Cell-U-Blanket insulation is available now. Put them together-and put returning carpenters to work-NOW.

The tough Sergeant and the green rookie stories are always good, and there are many variations. Ilere's a good one.

The rookie shorved up for assembly with a pair of tan shoes that were far from GI. The Sergeant saw them, and rent the air with his bitter condemnation of such apparel in the army.

The rookie was polite. He explained that he wore those shoes in private life, and, since they were still good, thought

he would continue to do so.

"So what?" snapped the Sergeant. "I suppose you had a tall silk hat in private life, too?"

The rookie said: "Why, yes, Sergeant, I did."

"Then why the hell didn't you wear that today, too?" the Sergeant wanted to know.

"Don't be ridiculous," said the rookie. "Surely you know that you don't wear a top hat with brown shoes?"
