These "Grade TradeMarks" Are Your Assurance of Uniform Quality Standards

There is a type and grad€ of Douglas tir plywood for every building need. Each MUST meet rigid performance tests- in the field and in the Douglas Fir Plywood Association Laboratory. Choose the typ€ you need by tlrese "Grade Trade-Marks"stamped on evely panel.

EXT..D.F.P.A.

EXTERIOR-TYPE plywood is made with completely waterprbof synthetic resin binder especially for permanent exposure to weather and water. lt is widely used for building exteriors, fo1 outdobr signs, for railroad cat siding, and in all phases of marine constructaon.

PLYSCORD is an unsanded utility Panel of unusual rigidity, made to withstand the riSorous seryice demanded of wall and loof sheathing and of sub-floori ng.

PLYWALL is the grade of interiortype plywood made for use where only one side is exposed, as in wall paneling. lt is suitable for most stained finishes, for painting or papering.

PLYFORM is ihe spe€ial concrete-fotm grade of Douglas fir plywooda quality grade manufactured with high- ly water-lesistant glues and intended for multiple le-use in folm consttuction.

PLYPANEL is the grade of interiortype plywood made especially for high quality interior work on walls, ceilings, for booih partitioDs, cabinet doors and similar uses.

PresidcntEnds P.y and Price Ceilings

Washington, Nov. 9-Price ceilings on everything except dwellings, sugar and rice were wiped away completely by President Truman tonight in one sweeping order which spelled the speedy end of O.P.A.

All government controls on wages and salaries, too, were abolished except in case of government seizure, like the soft coal mines. Thus the Wage Stabilization Board goes out of business.

While the O.P.A. rent ceilings will be continued, Mr. Truman indicated that they may be increased-"it may be that some adjustment of rents will be required," he said. But Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt announced that the sales and rental ceilings on new homes built under the veterans' emergency housing program will stay as is.

Ceilings Removed

The Presidential order removed price ceilings from clothirg, automobiles, building materials, furniture, metals, paper, coal, laundry-everything, in fact, that still remained undler ceilings after the avalanche of recent decontrol actions except the scarce items of housing, sugar and rice.

The order was effective as of 9:01 p.m. P.S.T., but price law violations before that time may be prosecuted and businessmen are required to keep their records for another year,

Mr. Wyatt said that present

subsidies will continue, along with the houses- $10,000 on the 'purcfrase price monthly rental.

Building Permits At Alt-Time High For Los Angeles

Value of building permits issued in Los Angeles for the first l0 months of this year totaled $201,52I,441 marking an all-time high for a l0-month period, and $146,000,000 higher than last year, it was announced by G. E. Morris, city superintendent of building.

Mr. Morris said that the next highest l0-month period was in the previous peak year of L923, when valuations totaled $200,,101,864, some $1,000,000 less than for this year.

For October there were issued 428O permits valued at $13,895,436, compared to 3712 permits valued at $11,186,134 issued in October last year. The total for the first 10 months of 1945 was 25,628 permits valued at $55,696,2L9.

It's what's insid,e that counts with quality building products, too. Hidden, insid'e valtes the eye seldom sees. That's why building-wise people insist on Celotex Building and Insulating Products.

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

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

Tireless laboratory research perfects naterials and methods still more. . helps to maintain Celotex leadership year after year.

These, plus more than a quafter of a century of building materials "know how," are the invaluable in-

gredients in every Celotex product. They make a big difference in performance. in long life and low cost maintenance. A diference that has proved its value on hundreds of thousands of building jobs of every kind.

There aren't enough of these famous Celotex products to go around nou-brtt rest assured as soon as building products generally become available, you'll be able to get all the Celotex you oeed.

Lumber Firms Merge

Willamette National Lumber Co., Salem, Corvallis Lumber Co., Corvallis, and Lumber Management Corp., Portland, have merged into an organization with capitalization of $1,800,000. Emerging firm will retain name of Willamette National Lurnber Co. and its officers and directors will handle affairs of the new organization.

Willamette is now constructinC a $1 million mill in Linn County for production of 160,000 feet per day. The company's headquarters will be at Foster, site of new mill.

Officers of present Willamette firm who will carry over in to the new company are: W. W. Clark, president; George T. Gerlinger, vice-president; William Swindells, executive vice-president and secretary; Maurice D. Clark, assistant secretary and treasurer. Together with David T. Mason they form board of directors. All are from Portland.

E. J. Stanton & Son announces the formation of the Stancraft Corp., which will be devoted to the manufacture of sectional building units. Stancraft will manufacture units which can be assembled into a house 800 square feet in area.

fn announcing their policy, Roy Stanton, president of Stancraft Corp., stated that "The amounts of materials that are by-passing normat channels of trade has become so great that we felt it essential that we do something to divert the materials back through normal channels. The Stancraft Corp. is, therefore, dedicated to producing units to be sold through regularly established dealers and incorporating at the same time the best construction possible that can be offered with available materials."

Stancraft will offer units with both interior and exterior wall surfaces applied, and all items except floor joists and sub-floors will be factory fabricated reducing construction time considerably. No plumbing or wiring facilities will be furnished as Stancraft believes this can be done to a better advantage by the local contractor to meet local code conditions. The house, when erected, will contain a living room, approximately 12 x 2O, kitchen, 8 x 14, two bedroorns, 8 x 14, and a bath, 6 x B.

The price of complete units for erecting the shell of a house is expected to be less than $3,000.00 retail.

Stancraft cordially invites any of their friends to inspect the model house now erected in their yard.

\ Thomas Jefferson once said that, "The whole art of \sood government is the art of being honest." What an old foggy Tom was, wasn't he?

Some interesting thingJ ni"" n"nnened recently, two of high public interest. One of them was the public announcement by Dan Tobin, head of the world's biggest labor union. that "Strikes must be curtailed or the Nation will sink into chaos and organized labor will perish." The other was the public statement by Commodore Small, head of CPA, that he did not believe in regulation or regimentation of business, and wanted to see all controls removed at the earliest possible moment.

I read the threatenr", n*Urtri.s every day in the newspapers, and, instead of marveling at or bewailing the darkness about us, f recall that history convinces us men have been always thus. There is really "nothing new under the sun." The great Frenchman, Voltaire, who could express himself better than almost any man in history, wrote a waspish little book named "Candide;" in which he discussed mankind in this delightful dialogue:

(Candide)-"Do you believe that men have always

massacred one another as they do y, that they have always been liars, cheats, ingrates, brigands, idiots, thieves, drunkards, misers, envious, fanatics, hypocrites, and fools?" (Martin you believe that hawks have always eaten they have found them?" (Candide) "Without doubt." (Martin) "Well, then, if hawks have always had the same character, why should you imagine that men have changed theirs?"

Men have not changed, as Voltaire so well illustrates. Had we kept our entire military strength in Euorpe and Asia, Russia would have been just as friendly to us today as she was when we were pouring into her hands the tools with which she made her immortal defense against the Nazi hordes. With each shipload of American troops that carne home, Russia grew less friendly. With each gun that we silenced, her good will disappeared in exact proportion to the reduction of our fighting strength. With each plane that we grounded, snarls replaced smiles in our direction. Voltaire could have told us it would be that way. Our trouble is we don't read enough history. WE F1ORGET THAT HAWKS EVADE EAGLES. BUT EAT PrGEoNs'

The more we, as a nation, produce of the things we use, the more there is to distribute, the more there is for each of us to share. Wealth-true wealth-can only be created by production. Wealth isn't money, as has been said millions of times and still is all too little understood. If we had all the money in the ulorld and there was nothing to buy, we'd starve and freeze to death. The only thing rnloney is good for is to exchange for the things we want and need. We can't distribute what we haven't got. We can't distribute what we haven't PRODUCED. Some of the production has to go to pay for the industry or the farm that made it. Some has to go to defray the cost of government. The remainder, and it amounts to more than two-thirds of all that is produced, goes to the people who did the producing and in the form of wages. The more each worker produces of this world's goods, the more there is for him to share; and that is the only basis on which real wealth can be distributed. Increasing costs and lowering production spells two words: INFLATION and DISASTER.

In World War II, American Industry made a production record that turned the course ofwar. Now, as the world turns to peace, those same mines, mills and men are dedicated to providing better living for us all.

U.S.G's continent-wide resources are ready too. There are 23 mines and quarries, 45 producing plants and 51 shipping Iocations to give you fast economical service. One of the world's 6nest research laboratories, U.S.G's exclusive methods and a rigid system of product control guarantee highest quality. Mosr important are the vision, leadership and experience of the 7,000 U.S.G employees. They mean better business for you, better living for your customers.

It Won't Be Long No*

For about thirteen years now the business men of the United States have been asking that pathetic question"How long, O Lord, how long?" And the answer arrived when they counted the votes on November fifth. And then, it seemed to come singing and surging across the land, and it said-"IT WON'T BE LONG NOW."

There is every reason to believe and fe'*' to deny that not later than January of the approaching year "there rvill be some changes made," that rvill put business, and free enterprise, and the good old American system of rvprk, and thrift, and energy, and honesty, back in the saddle where they have been missing for more than a decade.

There is every reason to believe that our planned economy will go out the window in a rush, and with it the emergency bureaus with all their regimentation, their rules, their regulations, their restrictions against the natural laws. When the new Congress meets all someone has to do is offer a simple resolution to the effect that the war is over and all war emergency matters are at an end, and it wouldn't be at all surprising if that's what is done.

What a joyful thought. It;ill be the end of an egotistical, arrog'ant, cynical, punitive, impractical government that has lasted all too long. Government by personal whim, government by caprice, g'overnment by interpretation, gov-

ernment by- directir-es, administered by economic atheists and industrial illiterates, is about at an end, "and none so kind as to do him honor." Burning rvith a quenchless lust for political power, it has lasted long. To most business folks it seemed forever.

We shall not attempt here to detail the treruendous changes that are certain to take place. That OP-\ and all other things of the sort will go and go at once, no one can doubt. That we rviil have new legislation correcting the outstanding evils of New Deal laws, is likewise certain. With new faces in those Senate committees which have succeeded in stifling every House efiort at correction and justification, it is a good bet that soon all men w-ill again be equal before the law, just as they once rvere. Employers as well as employes must be made equal under the law and the Constitution ; and each must be held responsible for his acts. We used to have one set of laws for all men. We rvill again. The iaws of logic will come back.

Get ready, folks. This nation is going back to rvork, the law of supply 4nd demand is coming back into action, and practical thinking by free men "vill replace screwy rules and philosophies by bunglers who have no idea what it is all about.

Won't it be fun to be free ?

AFPI Trustees Hold Annual Meeting

Extension of the Keep America Green Program to six new states and the addition of more than a million acres to the national tree farm area, were listed as two major accomplishments of the year in the fiscal report of the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., at its annual meeting of trustees, in Washington, D. C.

Presented by Director Chapin Collins, and covering all phases of the organization's activities for the year, the report showed substantial progress in the Trees for America program, inaugurated last March, as well as a broadening policy of assistance to individual states in the solution of forest problems. AFPI foresters have visited 39 forested states during the past 12 months, Mr. Collins stated, assisting with the organization of local action committees and forwarding forest protection movements.

In summing up the year's activities, Mr. Collins expressed appreciation for the cooperation of state, federal and extension foresters and state and regional forest and forest industries associations. "The Trees for America program, which is aimed at the tree roots of our national forest problem, will require the continued understanding and cooperation of these agencies," Mr. Collins said.

Col. W. B. Greeley, Seattle, is chairman of trustees of the American Forest Products Industries and Corydon Wagner, Tacoma, president. Trustees f.or 1946 include W. J. Bailey, New York; S. R. Black, St. Paul; J. M. Brown, Spokane; Leonard Carpenter, Minneapolis; Walter J. Damtoft, Canton, N. C.; E. W. Daniels, Hoquiam, Wash.; D. C. Everest, Rothschild, Wis.; Sydney Ferguson, New York; M.

My Favorite Football Story

Knute Rocknc delighted to tell a story about himself and the great Indian player, Jim Thorpe, which, regardless of all ottrers, seems to me the best football story I ever heard.

After they were both out of college they met one fall on opposite sides in a great all-star football game, played on that great field in Chicago and attended by a capacity crowd of fans. Rockne said that before the game started Jim Thorpe car4e to him, and pointing to the great mass of people in the stands, said in his blunt Indian fashion:

"Rock, do you know what most of those people came here for? They came to see me run with the ball. That's what they came for. So, when you tackle me Rock, tackle easy, see, and let me run with the ball, because that's what the fans are paying to see."

Rockne said that the calm egotism of the giant player. even though what he said was largely true, made him awful mad, and he made up his mind that he would teach the

big Indian a lesson, and that the first time he tackled him he rivould hit him so hard he would never live to forget it. Sure enough, one of the first plays in the game, the ball went to Thorpe and he came flying around Rockne's end, and Rockne tore into him. He had a clear run at the big man, and he tackled him like a battering ram, striking with all his bone and sinew between krlee and thigh, and letting him have all the drive and twist he had in his muscular body.

And, to his surprise, he bounced off the body of the great football champion like a dry oak leaf, driven by a gale, bounces back from the 1s!,urdy trunk of the oak. Thorpe went plunging on mqny yards, until alrnost the whole opposing team pullediTrim down. Rockne picked himself up. His shouldCf was as full of pain as though a house had fallen on it. As he made his way toward the scrimmage line, he passed Thorpe, and the big man grinned as he reached out and patted him on the back, and said:

"That's the way to do it, Rock ! Tackle me easy, and lit me run with the ball !"

HOME BUILDING SERVICE

Suwo o/ dt/r4444 aad fuQil2c.ta...

The Veyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service is designed to help the lumber dealer further strengthen his position in the home field.

Scores of modern home designs make this Home Building Service a stimulat. ing source of ideas for today's home plarr.reis. Advanced architectural design is coupled with tested structural practices prescribed by Weyerhaeuser engineers. As a result, these houses combine beauty, utility, economy,livability, and the enduring value of sound construction.

Each month a new design is added to the Service. Each month full-colored illustrations, descriptive foldefis, blueprints, and posters are supplied to lumber dealers. Thus, the ever-growing Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Home Building Service is always abreast or ahead of new developments. Offering a wealth of designs and ideas, the Service helps builders, owners, retail lumber dealers to plan their homes together,

FARM BUILDING SERVICE ?hto

/* /ra(dlrct4 f/af i*towau {anno ietaorc

The rVeyerhaeuser 4-Square Farm Building Service has been described as the most complete service ever developed. Never has there been a greater need for carefully planned buildings, never has such a wealth of helpful, practical building information been assembled, fbr reference at the yards of retail lumber dealers.

This Service is helpful to the farm builder at ? time when careful planning is essential to make limited building materials go as far as possible. It's helpful to both dealer and farmer-giving the dealer a design service created by agricultural authorities and V'eyerhaeuser engineers-giving the farm builder the benefit of the best in planning.

Included in the Veyerhaeuser 4-square Farm Building Service are designs, blueprints, and material lists for barns, machine sheds, crop storage buildings, hog houses, poultry houses, and individual items of lumber-built farm equipment.

Funercl Orcrtion Over

(Editor's note: Because it belongs in all good scrapbooks we will devote this page this issue to exgerpts frorn a funeral oration. The most famous and eloquent funeral oration we know was that of R. G. Ingersoll over the gmve of'his brother. Close in line comes this one. Riley Grannan was a gambler, a famous plunger, who died in Rawhide, Nevada, April 3, 19O8. His funeral sermon was preached by an ex-preacher, a Texan named H. W. Knickerbocker. There is not room for the whole oration on this page, but here are some of the more beautiful passages.)

Riley Grannan was born in Paris, Kentucky, about forty years ago. . . He died day before yesterday in Rawhide. You have the birth and the period to the grave. Who can fill in the interim? Who can speak of his hopes and fears? Who can solve the mystery of his quiet hgurs that only himself lrnew?

He was born in the sunny Southland, where brooks and rivers run musically through the luxuriant soil; where the Magnolia grandiflora like white stars, grows in a firmament of green; where crystal lakes dot the greensward and the softest summer breezes dimple the wave-lips into kisses for the lilies on the shore; where the air is resonant with the warbled melody of a thousand sweet-voiced birds and redolent of the perfume of many flowers. This was the beginning. He died in Rawhide, where in winter the shoulders of the mountains are wraPped in garments of ice, and in summer the blistering rays of the sun beat down upon ttre skeleton ribs of the desert.

When I see the ambitions of man defeated; rrdhen I see him struggling with mind and body in the only legitimate prayer he can make to accomplish some end; when I see his aim and purpose frustrated by fortuitous combination of circumstances over which he has no control; when I see the outstretched hand just about to grasp the flag of victory, take instead, the emblem of defeat, I ask: "What is life?" Dreams, awakening, and death; a pendulum twixt a smile and a tear; a momentary halt within the waste, and then the nothing we set out from; a'walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing; a child-blown bubble that but reflects the light and shadow of its environment and is gone; a mockery, a lie, a fool's vision; its happiness but Dead Sea apples; its pain the crunching of a tyrants heel.

Biley Grcnnqn, Gcnnbler

I know there are those who will condemn him. There are those who believe today that he is reaping the reward of a misspent life. But did it ever occur to you that the most sihful men and women who live in this world, are still men and women? A little happiness brought into their lives means as much to them as happiness brought into the lives of the straight and good. If you can take one ray of sunlight into their nightJife and thereby bring them one single hour of happiness, you are a benefactor. Riley Grannan may have "wasted" some of his money in this way.

Did you ever stop to think how God does not put all His sunbeams into corn, potatoes, and flour? Did you ever notice the prodigality with which He scatters these sunbeams over the universe? Contemplate: God fings the auroral beauties round the cold shoulders of the North; hangs the quivering picture of the mirage over the palpitating heart of the desert; scatters the sunbeams lamelated gold upon the bosoms of myriad lakes that gem the verdant robe of nature; spangles the canopy of night with star-jewels, and silvers the world with the reflected beams from Cynthia's mellow face; hangs the gorgeous crimson curtain of the Occident across the sleeping-room of the sun; wakes the coy maid of dawn to step timidly from her boudoir to climb the steps of the Orient and fling wide open the gates of the morning. Then, tripping o'er the landscape, kissing the flowers in her fight, she wakes the birds to herald with their music the coming of her King, who floods the world with refulgent gold. Wasted moonbeams these? I believe that some of Riley Grannan's money was "wasted" in this way.

As we stand in the presence of Death we have no knowledge, but always, no matter how dark the gloomy clouds hang before me, there gleams the star of hope. Let us hope, then, that it may be the morning star of eternal day. It is dawning somewhere, all the time. Did you ever pause to think that this old world of ours is constantly swinging into the dawn? Down the groves of time, flung by the hand of God, with every revolution, it is dawning somewhere dl the time. Let this be an illustration of our hope.

The word "farewell" is the saddest in our language. Words fail me here. Let these flowers, Riley, with their petaled lips and perfumed breath, speak in beauty and fragrance the sentiments that are too tender for words. Good-bye.

NRLDA Board of Directors Adopt Program to Provide Homes and Eliminate Government Controls and Regulations

An aroused board of directors, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, meeting October 21, 22, and ?3, rn Seattle, Washington, decided to quit talking to themselves and do something about the building situation in this country. Perhaps it was the 2,400 dealers who turned the meeting into a convention that did the arousing, but more likely it was only the reflection of the same conditions that caused 2,4N dealers and over 800 women to be present in Seattle.

The fact that the board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution favoring the elimination of "price controls, subsidies, allocations, guaranteed markets, and all other regulations and restrictions which are obstructing the production and flow'of materials into homes for veterans and other essential building" would have been as inefiective as rain on a tin roof had the convening directors not adopted three major programs which put teeth into the resolutions.

To sum up the entire meeting, the board of directors unanimously supported the engineered housing program which for over six months has been a joint project between the Producers' Council with the membership oI 104 manufacturers, and the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, representing the lumber and building material industry.

Iff"*preSenting the engineered housing program, Robert A. Jones, secretary of the Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's Aisociation; pointed out that an industry-engineered home was the only positive answer to the National Housing Program. ..;a .*

On the modular 4-inch increment, this Domino Plan of construction features a basic unit capable of being combined into an infinite number of home designs and shapes. The fundamental principal of this engineered home is to either design the materials to fit the home plan or to fit the plan to the materials. Over 250 manufacturers besides the Producers' Council group have expressed definite inter' est in designing their materials to fit this home plan.

Savings to the ultimate home buyer result from the elim' ination of waste in sawing and fitting materials and reduction of labor time in construction of such a home.

Lynn Boyd, director from Pampa, Texas, stated that a similarly constructed home would create a savings of $1,500 over methods now in common practice.

Modern low-cost quality homes in today's market can be efiectively developed provided controls and regulations are eliminated. Only Government controls and regulations have been and are preventing the construction of an adequate number of such homes to solve the present housing shortage.

The second pr'ogram meeting a problem of vital concern to lumber dealers everywhere was given emphasis by the adoption of the educational program originally started in the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. William Bell, secretary of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association and chairman of the committee on education, recounted the success of the educational program thus far. Pointing to courses to be operated at the University of Illinois, Purdue, Washington, Massachusetts State, and Syracuse, he expressed the belief that 12 or 15 additional universities would embrace the 30-day lumber dealer course for veterans and lurnber yard employees.

Martin Chamberlain, director of education for the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, explained the use of the guide and lecture outlines which have been prepared for associations, university, and student use. A 4page information folder on this program is also ready for distribution to all interested organizations.

For the purpose of projecting the modern engineered home program and the educational program for veterans into the lives of citizens not directly a Part of the building industry, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has increased the public relations budget. A complete publicity and public relations campaign will be worked out and developed on both projects. In addition, the public relations section of the National Retail Lumber Dealers

NRLDA Board of Directorsr Meeting

(Continued from Page 26)

Association will continue to prepare information for the use of lumber dealers in their respective areas in combating the false propaganda emanating from Washington Go'i'ernment agencies, according to P. W. Watson, public relations staff.

The dealers advertising mat service, building headquarters campaign, and a rejuvinated and revised Home Planners Institute, have been placed temporarily on the inactive list until materials begin to flow freely through the yards.

On Tuesday morning Edward G. Gavin, editor of the American Builder, traced the course of the so-called Wyatt Housing Plan and proved: first, that Wyatt had nothing to do with it; second, that it was not a plan ; and third, it has not produced houses.

With irrefutable figures Mr. Gavin showed that home construction under the Wyatt Plan had progressively decreased in rate from January 15 to Sept. 1.

Upton Close, authoritative radio commentator and analyst effectively discussed the insidious efiect of Government regimentation and controls upon the building industry and traced its origin to Marxist and Lenin philosophies from which sprung the triple threat of Nazism, Facism, and Communism.

Closely following the pattern of this industrial meeting of protest against control and regimentation was President S. L. Forrest's masterful analysis of basic American principles 'ivhich he portrayed as being shredded by the paternalistic philosophy now permeating Government bureaus in Washington.

The talk given by the newly elected President, Norman P. X1[ason, North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, likewise pointed to the appearance of Communism popping up in all Gor-ernment agencies, including the OPA, CPA, NHA, O\^rlIR, and others interlocked in promulgating their viewpoints. In his address, Mr. Mason stressed the abortive effect of Governm{ent allocation of building materials.

H. R. Northup, secretary-manager of the Association and frequently forced to spearhead the interest of this industry on all fronts provided one of the most factual, hard-hitting, and plain-spoken talks of the entire meeting. Closely allied with the Association's theme of eliminat-

ing GovernmenL control and regulations was Joseph King's discussion of past legislative trials and the impending attempt to pass some building legislation similar to the Wagner-Ellender-Taft Act.

Edward H. Libbey in sparkling style reviewed the work of the OPA Industry Advisory Committee, which has struggled all through the year with the intricate and multitudinous though sometimes microscopic changes made in OPA price regulations. Mr. Libbey pointed out the prob' lems that lie ahead in securing changes in OPA controls and the necessity of eventual abolishment of the OPA itself.

The two-day open session, or what turned out to be the convention part of the meeting was opened by President Forrest.

R. W. Beil, president of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, Spokane, Washington, gave the address of welcome.

"\\/e Grow" was appropriately the address given by Carl Blackstock, president of Blackstock Lumber Company, formerly president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, and one of the men who helped the Association to start to grow.

Reflections of normal times to come were presented by Neilson M. Mathews, vice president and general manager of the Farm Journal, and Ralph Carney, vice president of the Coleman Company, Incorporated.
