FHA Encourages Better Built Homes
Construction of homes which long outlive the mortgage is being stimulated by the nation-wide Better Housing program of the Federal Housing Admiitistration, according to Clifford C. Anglim, district director for Northern California.
One important reason, he said, is because this governmental agency not only encourages better built homes, but demands that houses financed under the insured mortgage system comply with governmental standards of construc: tion. This, it was declared, is a protection to both the buyer and the lending agency financing the building.
"A11 parties .concerned in such a transaction are assured of a well located, soundly constructed house, a safeguard to their investment," declared the Housing director. "This does not mean it must be an expensive house. Our offices have insured mortgages on many new homes in this immediate vicinity which cost well under $3000 to build.
"To illustrate this point, I have in mind a local case in which a house costing $2850 complete was built on a lot worth $400, making a total investment of $3250. The Federa Housing Administration insured a mortgage on this property in the amount of $250O, under the 2Gyear monthly amortization plan. The owner moved in and today is paying himself rent amounting to $18.57 a month, plus ta;es and fire insurance, while his family enjoy all the security, comfort and convenience of living in their own home. ft is, of course, a modest home, but it is a good, well planned, substantial structure, built under government inspection to conform with FHA requirements. Every family paving $25 or more a month should investigate the opportunities for acquiring a home of their own under this convenient pay yourself rent plan."
To assist potential home owners and to acquaint them with the insured mortgage system, the government has prepared an interesting illustrated booklet on 'nHow to Have the Home You Wbnt." It was declared available from local lending institutions, or may be had without charge or obligation by addressing the Federal Housing Administration, 433 California street, San Francisco.

The Lonely Linguist
A very superior person, coming from a large eastern city to live in a small rvestern town, complains bitterly: "There's no one here who speaks my language."
There's no one rvho speaks your language ?
What a perfectly terrible plight !
Imagine, no conversation
From dawn till all hours of the night ! There's no one who understands you?
Then what may your language be, Some weird and exotic jargon
From an alien land over the sea?
Is your speech too technical, maybe, Or ponderously scientific?
Do your thoughts hop off on solo flights
In utterances beatific?
Is your language so very distinguished, So learned and worldly wise
That no one can grasp your meaning And fashion the proper replies ?
Well then, descend to our level; Let's talk of such every day things
As business, the coming election, Law breakers, captains and kings; You may toss in stray bits of yottr book loreBe sure we shall not run arvay; So forgetting your proud inhibitions, Be one of us just for today.
Perhaps we'll have time to consider
A few of the great and the wise, Who walking with king or rvith pauper See only the man in each guise; Who carry a warm understanding Of others wherever they go; Who never look up to the mighty And never look dorvn on the low.
Come, stand on a par rvith ).our fellows, Forget your superior powers; Yottr language may be unimportant, The question is, can you speak ours?

ED SEWARD STILL 1 UP on "CAPPY" SLADE
In the November 15 issue we reported that "C^ppy" Slade had made a hole-in-one at the Griffith Park golf ,course and was now tied with Ed Seward for lumbermen's honors, each having three to their credit.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230725065150-d0f521ea33646954cf5e822535f659d4/v1/79559feaec1260eef483f6ee84f995d2.jpeg?width=720&quality=85%2C50)
Ed Seward calls up to advise that he doesn't like to disappoint "C^ppy" but he still has 1 up on him. Ed has made a hole-in-one four times ; twi"ce on the 16th hole and once on the 8th hole at the Hollywood Country Club, and once on the 13th hole at the Wilshire Country Club.
"Cappy" rvill no doubt be out there trying to land another one to catch up with Ed. Both Ed and "Cappy" play a swell game and rank high among the Southern California lumbermen golfers.
Corona Lumbar Co. Mod enizes Office
The Corona Lumber Co., Corona, Calif., has remodeled the interior of its office and store and it is very attractive in appearance.
The office and store is 24x32 feet. The rear side is clear Redwood from floor to ceiling, 8 to 10 inch, run to pattern No. 792 and applied vertically.
One side of the office is paneled with Knotty Pine to a height of 4 feet, the balance being finished with Celotex as is also the ceiling. Part of the Celotex shows the smooth face in full size while in betrveen are narrower pieces showing the rough side and contrasting darker color, and where the panels come together they are grooved out and a decorative wood moulding is inlaid; the horizontal joints are treated the same way. The Celotex installation was designed by C. W. Comegys of The Celotex Corporation.
On the other side of the office, the paint shelves come to a height of 7 feet. A local artist has made a beautiful oil painting on the wall space above the shelves, 3x32 feet, portraying his idea of lumber from the forest to the home.
Celotex to Build Plant in England
Chicago, Nov. ll.-Bror G. Dahlberg, president of The Celotex Corporation, Chicago, and C. G. Munch, vice-president in charge of production sailed on the S. S. Normandie today for London, England, to complete arrangements for the construction of a new plant there to manufacture various Celotex products.
Announcing this proposed addition to the manufacturing facilities of the ,corporation, Mr. Dahlberg said: "This is another step in our expansion program necessitated by the growing demand for structural insulation and the corresponding increase in our business both in this country and in England. Because our present f'acilities rvere being overtaxed Mr. Muench spent some time in England last summer making a c,omplete survey of manufacturing conditions, and residential construction situation, to determine the advisability of building a plant there.
"Based on his findings and the recommendations of P. R. Layman, manager, Overseas Division, who is now in England, we have furthered negotiations and expect to break ground soon in England for a completely modern structural insulation board plant. This new plant should be in operation early the coming summer, and will help considerably to relieve the Marrero, Louisiana plant which has been running at capacity for several months."

Many Quality Features Claimed for
"Tyl-Lyke" Roof ing Sheets
Eye appeal has been added to steel roofs by the neat, trim and rugged appearance of "Tyl-Lyke" galvanized roofing, which has caused mu,ch favorable comment throughout all sections of the country. It offers greater value than corrugated iron, as it is of sturdy construction' heavily galvanized and costs less to install. In many jobs in California "Tyl-Lyke" sheets have been used for both roofing and siding material.
These sheets are offered with the maker's positive guarantee that they will not leak under any normal roofing conditions, regardless of the pitch, whether they be installed as a sheet roof, used as siding sheets in either horizontal or vertical position, or laid as roofing on a comparatively flat surface. They will turn successfully the hardest and most driving rain, and when properly grounded provide positive protection against lightning.
They are made of open hearth commercial steel (also available in copper bearing steel), having a heavy coating of. zimc applied to their entire surface. They are made in 3-V style only; are furnished in 26,28 and D gauges, and in even foot lengths from five to 12 f.eet inclusive.
The patented non-syphoning drain channel breaks all capillary attraction (syphoning or seepage), thtts assuring a positive leak-proof installation. Due to the heavy co'ating of zinc these sheets are suitably protected against atmospheric corrosion and rust, giving many years of unimpaired and satisfactory service.
"Tyl-Lyke" galvanized roofing is manufactured by Continental Steel Corporation, and distributed exclusively in Southern California by Commonwealth Steel & Supply Corporation, 2l5O Sacramento Street, Los Angeles.

\(/ood Carving for Pleasure
Portland, Oregon, November l9th-Never before have the American people, young and old in all walks of life, been so interested and enthusiastic about taking up hobbies and avocations as they are today. Of the creative arts, wood carving is unquestionably one of the most popular and pleasant avocations for the person who likes to work with wood and tools and has the leisure time to enjoy it. To encourag'e and assist the beginner in this delightful craft, the Western Pine Association has published an elementary manual entitled "Wood Carving for Pleasure." This 24page, illustrated booklet has been prepared by the Association in collaboration with Herbert Rayner, of Portland, Oregon, a professional wood carver for over 34 years. A1though all the Western Pines are of the soft pine group and are highly satisfactory for carving, Sugar Pine, a genuine White Pine, is featured in the Association's latest publication. The text covers the principles to observe when carving in wood, the essential tools required, and the different types of wood carving, beginning with the more simple types of scratch carving or chasing and chip carving then advancing rather rapidly to the more difificult types of low relief carving, bas relief, and sculpturing or carving in the round. Examples of various types are described briefly in a step by step manner to show the tools used and technique employed in executing them. The amateur wood carver will find "Wood Carving for Pleasure" not only a most attractive booklet, profusely illustrated with pt'actice designs and completed carvings, but very practical in its application, and of convenient size (5" x7"). Single copies can be secured without charge from the Western Pine Association, Yeon Bu;lding, Portland, Oregon.
New Douglar Fir Plywood Folder
"Deflection Charts for Douglas Fir Plywood," is a new folder issued by the Douglas Fir Plywood Assocration, Tacoma, Wash.
These charts are to assist the engineer, architect and builder in selecting the most economical thickness of Douglas Fir plywood for concrete forms, sub-flooring, sheathing, or other structural use. The charts are based on a comprehensive series of tests conducted recently at the Forest Products Laboratory of the University of Washington. The results are in accord with the theoretical deflections computed as tentatively recommended by the United States Forest Products Laboratory at Madison. Wis.

Gossip Town
Have you ever heard of Gossip Town?
On the shores of Falsehood Bay?
Where old Dame Rumor, with rustling gown' Is going the livelong day? It isn't far to Gossip Town
For people who want to go, The Idleness train will take you down In just an hour or so.
The Thoughtless road is a popular route And most folks start that way, But it's steep down grade; if you don't look out You'll land in Falsehood Bay.
You glide through the valley of Vicious Folk, And into the tunnel of Hate, Then crossing the Add-to-Bridge, you walk Right into the City Gate.
The principal street is called "They Say" And "I've Heard" is the public well; And the breezes that blow from Falsehood Bay Are laden with Don't-You-Tell.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230725065150-d0f521ea33646954cf5e822535f659d4/v1/024bc64a2fde53a9590d8364dd9dccc6.jpeg?width=720&quality=85%2C50)
In the midst of the town is Tell-Tale Park. You're never quite safe while there, For its owner is Madarne Suspicious Remark Who lives on the street Don't Care.
Just back of the Park is Slander Row, 'Twas there that Good Name died, Pierced by a dart from Jealousy's bow In the hands of Envious Pride.
From Gossip Town, Peace long since fed, But Trouble, and Grief, and Woe, And Sorrow and Care you'll meet instead If ever you chance to go.
Giving The Admiral A Break
The fond mother was saying goodby to her only son who was joining the navy.
She said: "Now, Son, remember what I've told you. Always be punctual. Get up on time every morning, too, and don't keep the Admiral waiting for his breakfast."
He Was Equal To The Emergency
The lady was entertaining the small son of a friend at dinner. Seeing that the youngster was having some trouble with his knife and fork. she asked:
"Are yo'u sure you can cut your meat?"
"Oh, yes Ma'ain," he said. "We often have it this tough at home."
We Want To Be Safe From Fear
Economic security has come to loom so large among the so-called civilized peoples of the earth, and the evils of the organized system of individualist economics are so dominant in the consciousness of great masses of people, that nations are selling their souls for the proverbial mess of pottage-are bartering away freedom to dictatorship for fatuitous pledges of economic betterment.-Frederick M. Hunter, University of Oregon.
A Tourist
The motorist stopped at the fence corner, and said to the country boy who was sitting on the top rail, chewing meditatively on a straw:
"Son, how far is it to Washington?"
The one on the rail considered the question seriously for a few moments, before he said:
"Well, Sir, I don't rightly know. But you stop at'that shack on the next corner, an' ask Eph. Eph'll know. He's bin all over. Eph's got shoes."
WHOA! WHOA! ALAS! ALAS
Joe saw the train, but couldn't stop; So they dragged his flivver to a shop. It only took a week or two
To make his Lizzie good as new. But, though they hunted high and low, They found no extra parts for Joe.
A VERY OLD MAN'S FAITH
Contributed by Frank W. Trower Trower Lumber Co., San Francisco
"I am still at work, with my hand to the plough, and my face to the future," said Sir William Mulock, Chief Justice of Ontario (who is 95 years old), in a recent public utterance. "The shadows of evening lengthen about me, but morning is in my heart. I have lived from the forties of one century to the thirties of the next. I have had varied fields of labor, and full contact with men and things, and I have warmed both hands before the fire of life. The testimony I bear is this: That the Castle of Enchantment is not yet behind me. It is before me still, and daily I catch glimpses of its battlements and towerS. The rich spoils of memory are mine. Mine, too, are the precious things of todaybooks, fowers, pictures, Nature and sport. The first o'f May is still an enchanted day to me. The best thing of all is friends. The best of life is always farther on. Its real lure is hidden from our eyes, somewhere beyond the hills of time.t'
Merrill Robinson to Manage San Francisco Branch for U. S. Plywood Co.
Langford Smith, who has been resident manager for United States Plywood Co., Inc., since he opened the San Francisco branch for that company in 1934, has resigned that position to devote h:s entire time to his own company, United States Wood Products Company.
Back in 1932, when business was at its worst, "Lang" Smith and R. S. (Dick) Pershing started United States Wood Products Co.. who are Northern California distributors of a number of specialties. Principal of these is "FLEXWOOD," the popularity of which has grown to such proportions the past year as to occupy Lang's full time in keeping up with the demand. The rapidity with which "FLEXWOOD" has sprung into popular demand as a medium for paneled walls of the finest woods has aroused the admirat:on of architects and builders throughout California. The large number of beautiful installations in San Francisco, Sacramento, Modesto and Fresno, is a tribute to Lang and Dick and shows what can be done when two good men, with plenty of well directed energ'y, and a good product, get together. The trade wishes Lang the best of luck and good fortune, and a continuation of the stlccess which he has already so rvell established for himself and his company.

Merrill Robinson is succeeding Langford Smith as branch manager for United States Plywood Co., Inc., at San Francisco. He is u'ell and favorably known to the lumber and fir plywood industries of the Bay District and the Northwest. At their new branch at 119 Kansas Street, where the company's facilities for serving the trade have been enlarged, N{r. Robinson stated the company will continue its policy of carrying a heavy inventory of hardwood panels, Douglas Fir and California Pine plyrvood, for quick delivery, "Because," he said, "we want this branch to have the same reputation for 'fncomparable Service' that is enjoyed by all the other branches of the Company throughout the country."
