Board o[ Directors o[ NRLDA Meet at Houston

The more than 500 retail lumber and buildirg materials dealers and their u,ives t.ho attended the anfiual meeting of the boarcl cif directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, October 9 to 11 in Houston, Texas. came a\\.a1/ convinced that their industry has laid sound plans for the challenging year lvhich lies ahead.

Reports by officers and committee chairmen of NRLDA disclosed that the Association is prepared to keep close rvatch over legislative developments and economic controls arising from the rearmament program u,hile, at the same time, going forvi'ard u,ith other basic programs needed to heighten the prestige and protect the rvelfare of the retail buiiding materials industry.

Clyde A. Fulton, Colborn-Fulton I-umber Co., Charlotte, Mich., rvas elected president of NRLDA, succeeding C. B. Sweet, Long-Bell Lumber Co., Longview, Wash. C. W. Gamble, Boise-Payette Lumber Co., Boise, Idaho, \vas named vice president, and Fred R. Stair, Farragut Lumber Co., Knoxr.ille, Tenn., u'as elected treasurer.

H. I{. Northrrl> and Edl'ard H. Libbey were re-elected executive vice president and secretary, respectively.

In his farel'ell address as President, Mr. Su'eet expressed the firm belief that the industry is on the right track and paid a tribute to its leadership.

"One of the biggest and most vital tasks n'hich I recommend to those n'ho n.ill steer the affairs of the National in the future." he said, "is to keep everlastingly at the job of persuading the individual dealer to play his own individual part in major industry programs. \Ve nor,v have, perhaps, 1000 dealers n'ho are participating actively in our legislative and educational n'ork. .Think lvhere we can go if 'lve multiply that nurnber by five, or by ten !

"Another matter to u'hich the National should give continuing attention, in my personal'opinion, is the rvholehearted support of prirrate enterprise. You knor,v as well as I that strong forces are at rvork undermining public confidence in private business. We can not afford to sit back and hope tl-rat others rvill protect our future for us. Now that t'e again have been forced, by unavoidable circumstances, into an emergency economy and all the controls it involves, rve nrust face the fact that \\re may never

get out from under governmental control unless we do tu'o things.

"First, rve must so conduct our individual businesses and our industry that the need or excuse for controls is held to a minimum and, second, we must keep constantly telling the public and its leaders why the private enterprise system is the one and only system for this country.

"It isn't enough, by any means, to know that we are serving the public rvell. We must, in addition, take every feasible step to increase our efficiency and to ofier services that will be appreciated and then u,e must make sure that the public properly evaluates those services and fully recognizes and appreciates our efficiency. Everything u,e can do to develop ways of improving and expanding our services, and hence enhancing our indispensability, r,vill make our future that much more secure."

Mr. Northup reported on the present status of the defense production program as it affects the building materials industry and on the outlook for further controls, and then presented an S-point program designed to maintain a healthy national economy and a strong construction industry during the period when the nation is rearming.

In anal1'zing the outlook for construction and materials, Norman P. Nfason, past president of NRLDA, said that copper u,ire and steel sheets would be the most serious bottlenecks in 1951. He added that building products which do not contain strategic metals rvould be in ample supply by early next year, if not sooner, thus creating a buyer's market.

Assuming that the defense production program is not stepped up mnch beyond present schedules, Mr. Mason said that nerv construction next year probably would run around $21 to $23 billion, that the repair and modernization market 'lvould be strong; and he anticipated a moderate increase in farm construction, no more than a moderate drop in nerv commercial building, and a cutback of 50 per cent.or more in new housing.

Clarence Thompson, chairman of the Lumber Dealers Research Council, reported that results of a study of space requirements in housing, financed by the Council at the

A flashing flame in Korean night, A gleam of hope in the dark, A valiant sight in an up-hill fightThe Marine" nX.lt.*,heir mark.

Just as some men go to stammering when they get highly excited or enthused, thus do I, under the same conditions, wax poetic. So I turned loose my nimble fingers on my well-worn typewriter, and the above two four-liners came out. And, regardless of what*others may say-I like 'em.

A long time ago-f don't know the date-Grantland Rice, considered by many literary men to be the greatest poet of our time, as well as our far-the-best sports-writer, wrote a two-stanza poem about the Magnificent Mac that belongs in everyone's scrapbook. Here 'tis: >F**

I'm just a wayside poet in this mighty ebb and fow, Where the magic of MacArthur is beyond all words I know, A miracle of heart and brains that calls, above the flood, For a soul that's dipped in genius, and a pen that's dipped in blood.

So, poets, from a thousand years, rise from your faded dust ! Bold Byron, Keats, and Shelley, help clean away my rust; For above all lyrics written I must have a godlike pen, To pay a fitting tribute*to fVlacArthur and his men.

And, if that beautiful tribute was deserved at that time, how much more worthy of such unstinted praise is the MacArthur of today, and his men ! I heard a high ranking General in the United States Army make a splendid talk the other day, and he declared in glowing terms his firm opinion that MacArthur's leadership in this present Korean war, will go down into histo'ry as top-ranking with anything the history of warfare, with all the military genius of the ages, can point to. Since f had already made my amateurish guess to that same effect, in these columns, I enjoyed the MacArthur tribute all the more.

Hey, folks ! Cast aside your complacency, and stand up and ho'ller ! Doesn't it mean anything to you to realize that one of the greatest military geniuses of all time is with us today, and doing his stuff for our boys in uniform, and for every one of us here at home ? Doesn't it thrill you to

realize that now, in our time, miracles of military genius have been performed that will be re-lived in song and story as long as this land shall endure? Don't let your ardour cool about MacArthur and his deeds. Don't allow any of the small and jealous fry whose mistakes his genius have corrected, cast any shadows over his name ! Truly great men come to this earth but seldom ! Don't forget that ! Don't let your children forget it ! We havi something great and mighty to brag about, to enthuse over, so let's not lose the chance! It's our night to*howl!

When I started to, write this column I had a stack of notes on various subjects piled up at my elbow to write about. But the spell of MacArthur is on me, and I'm going to devote this entire piece to this glamorous subject. I have before me a copy of the Kansas City Star, dated September 29, and this powerfully edited newspaper devotes more than a column and a half to a leading editorial headed: .,The Genius of MacArthur." The rest of this column is made up from that editorial. Read it, for the writer paints perhaps the best word-picture of the General that has yet been written:

**1.

"Once more MacArthur has come through-writing his name in the annals of history certainly as one of the military geniuses of our time, and unquestionably the world soldier of today. There is something almost mystic in the man, in his sublime faith in his destiny. Aloof, sometimes utterly unapproachable, he presents one of the most contradictory characters imaginable, one about whom there is no half-way. You either have to take him on his own estimate and revere him, or you can sneer at his grandiose measurements of his own stature, but he always confounds his critics by coming through. ,k *

"MacArthur is 4 case of an individual brought up from THIS JOUR,NAL BETIEVES - -os oll true Americqns once believed, thot q mon gets olong in fhis world, not by qn Act of Congress, bur by his own industry, chorocter, courqge, obility, perlreverqnce, qmbition, sticktoiliveness, qnd love of Liberry; ond thot oll governmenl is foros Thomos Jefferson tought-is to provide o protective frcmework in which he cqn live, lqborr produce, work out his own destiny, qnd qchieve the ihings he longs tori it believes in the Americqn who stqnds on his own feef qs our forefothers did, eqrns his own living, provides for his own future, qnd is beholden to neiiher governmenl, mon, nor devil for his sup- port; who occepts lorgesse, gifts, subsidies, ond speciol privileges from nobody.

childhood to believe completely in himself, and that he was to lead and do great things. The son of a great soldier and a patrician mother who brought him up almost by hand, day by day and year by year instilling in him the unshakable belief that he was to be the great soldier of all time and do great things. ft was enough to spo,il any ordinary individual. Almost before he had learned his ABCs they started grooming him for West Point. He was built up. physically and mentally, always with just one thoughthe was to be a great soldier.

"[.Jnder such ambitt""";"1";l training, and according to rule, the wonder is he didn't come a cropper. Generally, this would have been the case. Instead, he led his class, leaving a record as one of the most brilliant graduates of our-training school for future generals. With powerful military and family infuence behind him, he was pushed fast in the army. Ife became the youngest general of World War One, and emerged with a record as a brilliant leader. He became one of the youngest and was regarded as one of the most capable chiefs of staff in reorganizing our modern army.

"Then when it seemed he had had everything and his ,career was at an end, he was off to the philippines where his father had fought before him. Seemingly at the summit of his car€er, always MacArthur believed destiny had still greater and bigger things for him to do. He became a legendary figure in the Orient as field marshall of the philippine army. For a time it looked as if MacArthur's star had begun to set as his air force was caught on the ground in the outset of the Japanese war, and as Bataan and Corregidor fell and he had to leave his troops behind and be smuggled out of the country in a submarine under presidential orders.

"I will return," he said with great drama, as he left his comrades to their fate and went away into the night. Then came the return. All our attention was centered on Europe. The Pacific war was secondary in the attention and certainly in supplies and men. But MacArthur, tediously and with unshaken faith in his o,wn star began building FROM NOTHING the great island-hopping campaign that eventually led to that climactic moment on the mighty Missouri when he received the surrender of the Japanese army and nav''

"All the military experts figured it would take us years to break down even the outer and middle perimeters of Japanese defense. There shone the genius of MacArthur, the soldier, and his adaptability. ffe never struck head-on, but, combining air and sea command, he simply by-passed the mighty fortresses the Japanese had built up, against which we supposedly were to wear out our strength through the years. He simply hopped around them with his landings-an amazing new chapter in a new form of warfare, .leaving the impregnable Japanese outposts, and hundreds of thousands of their men behind him to ',wither on the dlne," as he put it.

"'f have returned,' said MacArthur, as he waded ashore at Leyte. And soon the Philippines were recovered, although he took fearful chances and at times'heavy losses.

i< {< t< And so he was handed the problem of reconstructing Japan. Aloof, almost unapproachable except to a few old comrades, he has run the show as only MacArthur could. He does nothing to popularize himself. As a general who had served under him in many capacities through the years said in a private conversation recently, 'I don't like the man. He is one of the most pompous, vainglorious individuals I have ever known. But take it from me, I would rather be under him than anybody I know. He has that stroke of genius that is given to no ordinary mortals.'

"seldom has such . ;r;.:sial figure emerged upon the world stage. The few intimates and those who serve under him, deny that he is either conceited or self-glorious. They revere him, almost worship him. * * {< There has never been a close affinity between the Pentagon and MacArthur. He takes orders like a soldier, but he believes that MacArthur knows best and acts on that basis unless he is absolutely ordered not to. The Japanese revere him almost above their own Mikado. They don't pretend to understand him, bu( they have the innate feeling that he is their friend. **{<

"Now comes the climax to this amazing career. The critics and sniper! of MacArthur must feel small indeed today in view of the amazing latest exhibition of military genius. ft was Napoleon who used to say when asking about a new general, 'Has he the luck?' He didn't mean was he just lucky, but did he have that indefinable touch of genius to do the unexpected and the extraordinary at the critical moment. Call it luck or lenius, MacArthur has it. It is apparent that he had the Korean situation in hand shortly after he took over-that is, he knew what he wanted to do. He threw in his reinforcements piecemeal, supposedly violating every rule of warfare. * * * But all the time MacArthur was centering on his counterstroke. I{e concentrated his strength on that, taking a real gamble on holding the beachhead. ***

"When the battle was fiercest and the territor5r held by the United Nations fo,rces had shrunk almost to tJre size of a pinpoint on the map, he stripped it of all reserves to augment the striking force of his offensive. He chose, not the logical spots that would have been picked militarily, but one where 35 foot tides made it almost impossible. They say the navy has never liked MacArthur, but his landings on the dangerous beaches at Inchon was a perfect exhibition of naval power, air power, and land power merged together into split-second timing. There was real unification for you.

***

"A lot of people are called geniuses when they are just above the average. Always there will be cohtroversy about MacArthur, but no one can deny his genius. Through him runs a deeply religious streak, almost mystical. Whether you like him or don't, he is entitled to his dues now fo,r the tremendous contribution he has made not only to his country but to world'0.""*..

(Reports from all over the country tell of a flood of Truman stories. Two of my favorite columnists, one in Washington and the other in New York, who make a business of gathering gags for laugh-creating purposes, agree that it is the biggest flood of stories on one subject since the avalanche of fun that was showered down on the T Model Ford long ago.

Talk about veteran lumbermen, consider the case of Fred D. Prescott, of Fresno, California ! His is a record seldom equalled, that of being 55 successive years rn,ith the same company, under the same name, and in the same town.

IIis father founded the Valley Lumber Company in Fresno in 1883. Trvelve years later, in 1895, the son entered the employ of the firm. Eleven years later, in 1906, the son becamc general manager of the Valley Lumber Cornpany, and he has held that job ever since, and is still holding it, in addition to u'hich he has been president of the concern for many years.

Some of his innumerable friends call him "Fred." Others call him "Dean." His name is Fred Dean Prescott, but many years back the fact that there \\rere several other Fred Prescotts in and about Fresno, and their mail got badly trvisted, caused him to start signing his business mail-"F. Dean Prescott." So that's hou' it is, and his friends just pay their money and take their choice.

He is 7.5 years of age, enjoying rugged health, a clear anil splendid mind, a naturaL love for the lumber business bnd the men he knows from coast to coast and from Mexico to Canada in that business, and he is getting a great deal out of life. With Mrs. Prescott he has just returned from the annual meetin'g of the National Retail I.umber Dealers Association, in Houstou. rvhere they both had a rvonderful time.

One of the strongest and most popular men in the retail Iumber business in his home state of California, this "Fred" or "Dean," u'hichever you like, is a swell guy who lives up to all the best traditions of the lumber industrv in his home staIe.

When MacArthur returned to Tokio from his conference with Truman at Wake Island, the reporters asked him what happened. The General referred them to "the President's publicity man." Get it? His PUBLICITY MAN. Don't you know the General had a sly gleam in his eye when he pulled that one ?

Let's Talk Politics!

Bv Juck Dionne

Politics is the big front page news right now. On November 7 the United States voters go to the polls. Considering the gigantic proportions of the legislative and military proposals now before us, it will be one of the most important election days in American history. While we gird our loins to prepare and pay for a hitherto unheard-of defense program to make this nation safe from present threats and any that may develop, it is a vital duty to elect to Congress men who will devote themselves to seeing that we lose neither our solvency nor our liberties while doing so.

Already we are being told that we should forego partisanship, not ask too many questions, or indulge in honest criticism. The man who falls for that advice is either a knave or a fool, ft is every man's duty, now as never before, to see that we do what is right for our nation, do it in the most intelligent and efficient and economical way, and while making ourselves strong protect our economy here at home, cut out waste, cut out expensive politicking, and run this coruntry in the most workmanlike style in order that it may survive the great financial strains that are being put upon it. We must cut out our county courthouse style of operations, and we must make mighty changes in our entire set-up, such as the planners in Washington may O" r*.rt* loath to adopt.

One o,f the best and most intelligent Americans I know, Mr. Bruce Barton, put the thing in a nutshell when he said: "It is now imperative that every act of the administration, every statement issued, every demand for additional men and money, should be scrutinized even more sharply than in normal times. For, not only our dollars are involved, but the blood of tens of thousands of American boys." So we must have a Congress that will devote its best efforts to making our economy safe, while at the same time safeguarding our interest in the welfare of the world. ***

Can we stani a professional Army, Navy, and Air Force of three million men, including regular drafts from civilian life? Can we stand to spend over forty bitlion dollars a year? The Dallas (Texas) News asks those questions, and then answers them by saying: "Not on a 5 day week. Not with all this soft leisure to which we have geared America within the last twenty years. If we work six days a week epch of us can average maybe $666 a year more in steel and leather and gasoline and bread and rubber, and so on. If a 3,000,000 man defense force leaves us sixty million people working to create that forty billion dollars worth of annual support for defense, it will average out at $666 per worker. How are we going to do it on a 5 dayweek?"

That's a practical question, and we've got to have men in Congress that will approach the answer in practical fashion, and not in the entirely impractical fashion that

has marked most of our governmental activities for a long time past. Senator Byrd, of Virginia, staunch Democrat and believer in practical economies in government, says that the past five years have been "the most irresponsible five years of the great American republic." In order to meet this great defense project we have started upon, we must have a government that is responsible, practical, and intelligently economical, to carry us through safely. Remember that when you go to the polls on November' 7.

'Politics, of late, have hit the headlines in interesting fashion; there has been humor, too, giving us something to laugh about. The head-on collision between President Truman and John L. Lewis, hogged the spotlight for a time. fn much the same fashion that the shocking Marine Corps letter came to light, a Congressman quoted president Truman as saying he wouldn't appoint John L. Lewis for dogcatcher. Lewis waited just long enough to let the other letter become well publicized, then he turned loose a reply, scathing but witty. He said that if he were head of the Dog Bureau there would be more brains in the Do-g Department than in the State Department; and he added a few more blistering thrusts. Funny how many newspaper editors, commenting on this exchange of compliments, uttered the same opinion, namely, that this was one time when both Truman and Lewis were right. John L. is a hard man to meet 1.".*"1.

An interesting turn of events took place'politically when W. Averell Harriman forsook his previous position of high-toned and dignified assistant and advisor to the President in foreign affairs, and became hatchet man, like poor old Harold fckes used to be for Roosevelt. This gentleman appeared before a great labor convention and denounced one of our citizens as one who gave aid and comfort to the Kremlin. And who do you suppose he jumped. on? Senator Taft, of Ohio, one, of the soundest, most loyal, mcst honored Americans of the present day. Mr. Harriman possesses two stout assets, an honored name, and a huge fortune, both of which he inherited. If humans took rank according to their personal worth he would have to bow and tip his hat to Senator Taft every time they met.

,George Allen, of Mississippi, a happy, rotund character that was called court jester to President Roosevelt, and later was close friend to Harry Truman, wrote a book entitled "Presidents Who Have Known Me." To me the most interesting thing in this book was his statement that General Ike Eisenhower would have been ,'a candidate for President worthy of our Abraham Lincoln tradition." Allen idolizes the General. Would Allen vote for Eisenho,wer if he ran for President as a Republican, he was asked? Not on your life, he said. He was a party Democrat, in spite of his high opinion*of Ike.

That brought to mind the old story of the Southern

gentleman who was severely critical of the Democratic administration, but, when asked why he continued to vote that way said, "I'm a Democrat, and f vote the Democratic ticket. Never mind about us Democrats. It's when all those Damyankee Republicans stop voting the Democratic ticket that we'll get a change."

**>k

Very shortly after George Allen's book came out with it$ high opinion of General Eisenhower, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, hit the big headlines with his announcement that his choice for President in the next , election also is General Eisenhower. He also stated that he, himself, would positively not be a candidate for that honor. At this moment, General Eisenhower is certainly high man in the public opinion vote for Republican candidate for President. However, they don't vote, for President for two more years. Right now it looks like General Ike could walk in.

+ + *

The name of Roosevelt appears on election ballots in New York and California on November 7. Young Franklin Roosevelt offers for reelection as Congressman in New York, and his older brother Jimmy is running for governor of California. The brothers are men of only ordinary ability, and both are running on two counts'and only two; the Roosevelt name, and the Roosevelt gall.

>F{(*

The old adage that "there is nothing new under the sun" generally applies to politics and politicking especially and particularly. But we have found this year that it isn't true. There IS something new in politics. Jas. F'. "Jimmy" Byrnes, of South Carolina, proved it in his successful cam, paign for governor of that state. Always has it been the custom for candidates for office to go out into the rural and farm districts seeking votes, looking, acting, and talking like the "pore folks." Such methods have long been supposed to appeal to the farmer and other rural citizens. Old clothes, country style talk, and old cars have long been the rule. Not so with Jimmy Byrnes. The best dressed man in South Carolina, an aristocratic Southern gentleman of wealth and importance, he went out to talk to the farmers and the small town folks in just that fashion. No camouflage for Jimmy.

Riding in a big, ,,"*,* "rlrrrf high-priced automobile; wearing the finest tailormade suits, two-toned shoes, shiny starched white shirts, beautiful and expensive neckties, and everything else in keeping with that front, Mr. Byrnes vrent out seeking votes. And he got them; got nearly all the votes that were cast in the Democratic primary, which is election in South Carolina. And he talked as a gentleman of distinction-one who has been United States Senator, Secretary of State, Supreme Court Justice, and "Assistant President" would and should talk. A gifted speaker, he'showed his gifts when he spoke to the piopte. ***

Yes, Jimmy Byrnes showed that-politically-there is something very, very new under the South Carolina sun. It veill be remembered-this column has often quoted his remarks-that Jimmy Byrnes has been criticizing the present Democratic administration very vigorously for the

past year. He has been warning his people against the centralization of power in Washington, against creeping socialism in this country, against the liberties we have been losing under the Fair Deal. He has been saying: .'It .is well to remember that if we but stumble there is no Lend-Lease or Marshall Plan for us." He has been saying that our present county courthouse type of government must be corrected. He did not join the Dixiecrats two years agc, but he apparently hopes to amend the Democratic Party from within, and is going to put the issue before the Southern States and the Southern governors. His will be a strong and persuasive voice in the Southern Democratic councils during the next two years. What his plans are, he keeps to himself. But he went back into South Carolina politics for a most definite purpose, as everyone knows, and it will be interesting to see that purpose unfold.

As could well be expected, Harry Truman struck back. Out comes a ne$r book, apparently political campaign weapon, entitled "The Man of Independence," written about Truman by Jonathan Daniels, and in that book Daniels quotes Truman in some bitter and slashing critiqisms of the man he once admired above most men, Jimmy Byrnes. And so an open battle line is now drawn between President Truman and suave, eloquent, elegant, courtly, aristocratic gentleman from South Carolinb; both Democrats. There will be something worth watching during the next two years. Don't think from these adjectives that Jimmy Byrnes is anything less than a powerful, dynamic he-man of the strongest type. They call him at home "the most distinguished South Carolinian since John C. Calhoun,,, and they used to call Calhoun "the master logician of the age." The clash between this man and the President may become the big political battle of the next two years.

One of Jimmy Byrnes' latest and most quoted remarks is this: "You can get drunk on alcohol and recover-though you may have a headache. But if you get drunk on power, you never get over it. The power to spend forty-seven billion dollars is a terrible power. I doubt if God ever made a man with enough wisdom and virtue to sit in Washington and spend that much money."

Appointed Territorial Sales Representative

The appointment of John A. Roberts as a territorial sales representative for Simpson Logging Company in the San Francisco area has been announced by C. D. Ahern, Northern California district manager.

Simpson Logging Company is one of the leading West Coast producers of lumber, doors, plywood, irlsulating board products and acoustical tile.

Prior to his transfer to the Northern California district, Roberts had been employed in Simpson's production operations in Shelton, Wash., since 1946.

Born in Iowa, he attended the University of Iowa until he enrolled in civilian pilot training in 1942 and was a commercial pilot when he joined the Navy in 1945. He first came to the West Coast when assigned to Naval Officer Procurement in Seattle and Portland.

Franklin's Letter oI Recommendcrtion

One of the most famous and masterful letters of recommendation ever written by o,ne man for another, was written by Benjamin Franklin, when he was United States Minister to France. Note how adroitly he writes, even though he knew nothing of the man for whom he was writing, followed by his fine plea for civil treatment. The letter follows:

"Sir:-The bearer of this, who is going to America, presses me to give him a letter of recommendation, though I know nothing of him, not even his name. This may seem, extraordinary, but I assure you it is not uncommon here. Sometimes, indeed, one unknown p€rson brings another, equally unknown, to recommend him; and sometimes they recommend one another. As to this gentleman, I must refer you to himself for his character and merits, with which he is certainly better acquainted than I can possibly be. I recommend him, however, to those civilities which every stranger, of whom one knows no harm, has a right to: and I request you will do him all the favor that, on further acquaintance, you shall find him to deserve. I have the honor to be, etc., Benjamin Franklin, Paris, April 2nd, 1777;',

The Present

Wrote Maria Edgeworth, "There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards. They will be dissipated, lost, and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence."

It's Rcining Violets

It is not raining rain for me, It's raining daffodils; In every dimpled drop I see, Wild flowers on the hills.

The clouds of grey engulf the day, And overwhelm the town: It is not raining rain to me, It's raining roses down.

It is not raining rain to me, But fields of clover bloom; Where any buccaneering bee Can find a bed and room.

A health unto the happy, A fig for him who frets; It is not raining rain to me, It's raining violets.

"Well, I'm Sam Casey, one of the switchmen in your yards. Gimme a pass to St. Louis."

"Why, yes, Casey, I'll give you a pass to St. Louis if you go about it right, but not the way you do it. First, you should knock politely at the door, and when I tell you to come in you should come in quietly, take off your hat, and say: "Pardon me, sir, but are you Mr. Fish, the president of the Milwaukee Central Railroad?' I would say I was, and you should then say-'I'm Sam Casey, one of the switchmen in your yards.'Then I would a11srys1-'Fleltt do you do, Mr. Casey, and what can I do for you?' Then you would tell me what you want. Now, suppose you go back out and come in like you should, and talk like you ought to."

So Casey walked back out, but did not immediately return. It was three hours later that a knock came at Mr. Fish's door, and when he called "Come in," the door opened and there stood Casey, hat in hand, and looking very humble. He said:

"Pardon me, but are you Mr. Fish, the president of the Milwaukee Central Railroad?"

Mr. Fish smiled. "That's much better," he said. "Now who are you and what can I do for you?"

"I'm Sam Casey, one of the switchmen in your yards."

The president of the Milwaukee Central Railroad came out from behind his desk, smiling, and shook hands warmly with Casey. He said: "How do you do, Mr. Casey, and what can I do for you?"

And Casey spit on the hand that had just clasped that cf the executive, and wiped it off on his pants leg, as he replied:

"You can go,to helM just got a pass to St. Louis o:r the Wabash !"

GEORGE CTOUGH A N D LUMBER

Many great people were born during the month of November, including Daniql Boone, Marie Curie, Jarnes Garf ield a n d Winston Churchill. Mark Twain saw the first light of day just 115 years ago this month.

In fact November has been a very important month in the years gone by. The Suez Canal was opened to traffic in 1869, Lincoln delivered his "Gettysburg Address" in 1863 and Commander Richard E. Byrd flew over the South Pole in 1929.

And, of course, the Armistice of World War I was signed on November 11, 1918-which leads right to the reason for this recital of history. We hope this month of November 1950 brings about an historic stabilization of the rocky lumber market so we can handle each and every order in an efficient manner for our customers.
