I lost a grand old friend the other day. It was a story. One that I have told countless thousands of times-literally. It was the story of Schultz, whose ho,use was on fire. I've used it as one of my pets for many, many years. The other day some guy named Christopher Morley printed it in some mag, and The Readers Digest copied it. So now it's gone. Goodby, SchuJtz. That's the way all good stories are lost sooner or later, the mags or the movies get'em, and they become too common for further telling. But you've furnished me a million laughs, and I won't forget you.

Today this country is filled with witless schemes for dragging the Golden Age in by the ears, and they never fail of a following-among the gullible and the lazy.
The get-something-for-nothing nostrum is as contagious as the spirit of holiness at a religious revival. And the fact-finder who dares to point out the insufficiency of the nostrums, even though he tries to pass upon each plan without partisan prejudice, immediately becomes the geographical center of a cyclone of elderly eggs and a tornado of verbal tomatoes.
The fact that it i, irl""a: ""J cause that must needs seek refuge in name-calling, gets slight consideration. He
who seeks to butcher one of these economic mooncdves, often finds himself on the meat block.
Interesting facts. Thirty-five to forty-five per cent of all negroes in Northern cities are on relief, easy prey for all sorts of strange teachings. From l9l0 to 1930 the negro population lof Chicago increased 430%; of New York, 257 % ; of. Detoit, 2813%.
A very wise econo-* "-*"a iod ,rr*"rer once said: "Credit is exactly like morphine. fn the hands of those who understand its dangers as well as its benefits in time of emergency, it is a most helpful, useful invention.

Someone has said that Chamberlain not only left his country in the lurch, at Munich, but that he created the lurch he left his country in.
Funny how we tear down our old established beliefs in this modernized life. We used to say: "What you don't know won't hurt you." And most of us took the truth of the statement for granted. fn business we have discovered that the exact opposite is the truth. What we don't know not only hurts us-it destroys us. Facts have become the most vital things in business. We have learned to study facts. Not knowing needed facts will ruin any business.
The idea ttrat wisdonJ"o*J, "r,f *t,n age is the merest moonshine. Shakespeare wrote Hamlet at 36. Lord Byron made himself world famous, and died at that age.

At 32 Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. At 3l Webster was holding his own with such intellectual giants as Clay and Calhoun. At 31 the best essays of Macaulay had been written. Volumes of other proofs may be offered. The fact is that youth boldIy faces the unsolved enigma of the future; age turns its face regretfully to ihe past.

I was browsing through the files of this Journal published just before the crash of 1929, and in the Vagabonds I found this statement: "Look abotrt you at the world, and everybody is CREATING something. Everyone is working out plans for making his business more useful, more interesting, more beneficial, to the end that more people will use their products." Cant say that today. Too much unemployed money and man power is the consequence of too little of the spirit of adventure in business. In 1920 research to develop industry was just getting well started. There were about 200 concerns in this country operating research departments. By the time the depression started in L929 there were 1,500. IIow many are there today? Not nearly enough. Fear is still the answer; fear o{ taxation, of labor, of regulation, of interference of all kinds. Arthur Brisbane said that prosperity depends on the mental attitude of the people. The mental attitude of business is much better today than it was last spring. So business is better. ***

As I read the daily *nJ r, ;u horrors being perpetrated upon defenseless humans by Hitler the Headsman, I wonder what sudden curse has fallen upon the v/omb of the world, making it produce monsters where recently it brought forth philosophers, statesmen, and a variety of world benefactors? The men who shake the rafters of the world today appear to be NOT those who bring Promethean fire from beyond the stars, but rather the vultureheaded who devise only shocking ways of eliminating hope from the hearts of humanity.

A new illustrated booklet showing in full color 32 patterns of "Monowall," modern one-piece wall finish for residential and commercial interiors, has just been issued by the Armstrong Cork Companv. The booklet answers questions most frequently asked about the material, and contains instructions for installing and cleaning it as well as descriptions of recommended moldings and their applications.
Monowall is a one-piece wall panel of factory-finished, durable, wood fibreboard for interior walls and ceilings. In addition to its use in new construction, its light rveight and easy ap,plication make it particularly usable in modernization work. For example, a wainscoting of Monowall for an average bathroom weighs only 150 pounds.

To the Western Lumber & Equipment Company, Phoenix, Arizona, goes the distinction of recording the first enrollments for "Tested Seliing Methods," the' new sales development prograrn of the Merchandising Institute of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Inc. Without waiting for the formal announcement, II. C. Schweikart, manag'er, buttonholed the Institute's field director, Paul E. Kendall, in Phoenix on November 2, and handed in his own name and that of yardman Allen l3urch, Junior, as enrollments Nos. I and 2.
This occurring in ar.rd coming from the lancl of },Ianana and of perpetual sunshine is pleasing to me. Usually 11'g, rvho live where orange blossoms gror,v and in the shadorv of the snotv capped mountains that stand as silent sentinels over us, prefer to say there is nothing new, and if there is, n'e will look into it tomo,rrow (trIanana).
I asked Mr. Schweikart to tell me rvhy he, as a retail lumber dealer, became interested in this program.
He admitted that there were efiective methods usecl by other successful dealers throughout the country that he knew little or nothing alrcut. He also acknowledgecl this was the first opportunity in his life as a retail lumber dealer to gain first-hand knowledge of these methods as used by other outstanding retail lumber dealers throughout the United States, and he, theref,ore, felt that he and his employees couldn't afford to do otherwise than avail themselves of the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the plan, and putting it into general use in the sales.department, even though it resulted in only one additional sale per month, for the returns on the small investment woulcl be far greater than the return on any other investment that he had made in the 'Dast ferv vears.
This appeared to lte very good logic, but it must be remembered that Schu'eikart is a hard-headed Dutchman, and they usually reason things out fairly well.
I feel sure there rvill be many other dealers in Arizona,

"No, sir," said 1\{r. Pip, the rr ell-known lumber yard man in the back of the Third Ward. "No, sir, I don't handle no paint. The lumber bizness is one bizness, and the paint bizness another, an' I'm a lumber man. That's me. My bizness is sellin' the cheapest lumber at the cheapest price. I sell 'em first and trade afterwards if they don't like the stock. An' I can't see fer the life of me why a lumber yard man should fool round rvith paint. They's a rpaint store up the street with plate glass show cases and lighted up front windows what don't do nuthin' but sell paint, an' I takes it fer granted they knows their bizness, so I let's them alone. lf they don't sell no lumber an' shingies, I sure ain't goin' to sell no paint. No, siree."
"Paint?" saitl Mr. Pep, inltir,.". "Why, of course I harrdle paint. I not only handle it, but I merchandise it. How could I be a building merchant if I didn't? Most of the lumber that goes out of my place of business has to be painted, doesn't it? I sell quality lumber. I am anxious that it gives my trade the very best of service, and in order that they may be guaranteed that sort of service and satisfaction, it has to be properly painted, if it is to be used where paint is needed. Why should I send a man out highclass, good-looking lumber, and knorv that he may ruin the
completed building entirely by wrong selection of the choice or quality of paint that goes on it? Even if there rvas not an excellent profit in it-which there undoubtedly' IS-I r,vould consider it my business as a modern rnerchaut to give my trade paint service. Many a good looking board has been ruined by a bum paint job. Yes, indeed, I sell paint. Quality paint, just like my lumber and shingeles. I sell paint, and also color schemes. I sell paint that I knot' will \VEAR rvell, and I make it rny business to likervise sell paint that I know will LOOK well. My paint department is one of the most satisfactory parts of my business. Sell paint? I SHOULD SAY I DO!"

Frequently in our editorials this journal has referred to plywood as the finest step forward the lumber industry has rnade in generations-perhaps ever. The lumber and building industry the country over has come to know plywood and its uses more and better all the time, until now the big, bright, clear panels of various sizes and thicknesses, manufactured and sold for a thousand practical uses, are a fixture in every retail lumber yard. Yet even now, as he looks at the great sheets of wood piled high in his shed, the retail lumber dealer generally has little if any knowledge of just how they manufacture this modern miracle of wood. This story, therefore, is told to give a terse but understandable picture of the process of plywood manufacture and preparation for market. In this story we are using the case of Douglas Fir plywood, because this is the plywood giant, whose
Here cre the sheets ol veneer coming out ol the hugre dryere when the moigture content hcg been reduced to c minimum.

While the production of Douglas Fir plywood is considerably uniform and methods are continually coordinated through the cooperative efforts of a really efiective organization, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association at Tacoma, Washington, yet the amazing growth of the industry and the spreading use of the product has been the incentive that is bringing about continual and rapid changes in methods and equipment at such a rate that what is an up-to-date story today, may be out-of-date tomorrow. They are learning every day in the plywood business, and putting their findings into their actual operations.
So this story will simply tell the generalities of Douglas
Fir plywood manufacture as they prevail today in a modern Northwestern plant.
The principle of wood veneering is NOT new. Excavators in the oldest tombs in Egypt have uncovered furniture built of veneered wood that are fully 3,500 years old, so we know that .the principle of plywood has been known to man since our earliest civilizations. But it was not until 1905 that modern plywood making began. About that date the methods rvhich have resulted in volume production were developed, and led to its present amazing growth. Even after the beginning of the present industry in 1905, it was many years before plywood meant anything but a decorative material to

be used for furniture, doors, or just fancy wall coverings. Its use as a general structural and building material whereever and whenever big, flat, clear sheets of powerful wood are desired, is entirely new. And the uses grow every day.
Visitors to the World's Fair now being completed at San Francisco will see plywood used as plywood was never used before, for literally thousands of important building purposes. They will see tremendous sheets of plywood D+ly thick being used in the Colonnade of States.
As evidence of the manner in which the production and use of Douglas Fir plywood has grown, witness this table of production:
The Douglas Fir plywood industry today employs 5,000 people in its own mills, and another 1,000 in the production of materials. The industry has 925,000,000 invested, and annual payrolls of $7,500,000. Raw materials and supplies cost the industry $7,500,000 annually.
Douglas Fir plywood is made from what are called "peeler" logs, which are the finest, clearest, softest, straightest of Douglas Fir logs. "Peeler" logs are selected strictly for their superior excellence. Plywood cannot be successfully manufactured from anything but that type of log. These logs must have a minimum diameter of 3 feet at the small end, and must be free from limb knots and other exterior defects.
They average between 5 and 6 feet in diameter. The end of the log must indicate that it contains a minimum of sap and a maximum of clear, soft, heartwood. The logs are sawed into lengths of 6, 8, 10, or 12 f.eet,'the length of the panels into which they are to be made. Then a power crane lifts the blocks to the proPer position on a giant lathe. This lathe rotates the block against a long keen-cutting blade, ancl a sheet of smooth veneer is cut or peeled (this is where the name "peeler" comes from) from the entire length of the block, in much the same way as unwinding a great roll of newsprint paper.
From the lathe the veneer is carried on conveyor lines across tables to the clippers, which cut the sheets of veneer into desired widths by a simple "guillotine" operation. From the clippers the pieces are conveyed to tables where they are sorted and graded as to quality. Then they go to the dryer. Large mechanical dryers of either the conveyor or roller type are used, 4 to 6lines high, which removes the moisture from the sheets in from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the veneer. The drying process is highly scientific, and all sheets are dried to an exact moisture content.
Then long outfeed conveyors receive the veneer from the dryers and the material is again graded and sorted as to rvidth and grade. The lower grade stock goes to the core rooms where it is cut to required sizes for use as center sheets, cores, and cross bands of the panels, on which the better veneers form the outer coverings. Next comes the gluing operation. First, the face veneer is laid down, and then the crossbanding or core veneers' with glue on both sides, is laid upon it with the grain at right angles to that of the face. and other sheets follow according to the number of plies desired in the finished panel. Each veneer is placed in such a position that the grain of the succeeding panel is at a 90 degree angle to the previous one. Then the freshly glued panels are piled into stacks about 3 feet high, with heavy retaining boards above, below, and between the panels to insure uniformity of pressure, which stacks are placed in heavy hydraulic presses' where pressure ranging from 100 to 200 pounds per square inch is applied. The amount of pressure varies with the type of glue used. The pressure is maintained for a period of hours.
In the pressing operation of plywood manufacture, both cold and hot types of presses are used. The cold press is generally used with the protein type of glue, whereas the principle of resin glues in hot press operations is that the resins, while under heat and pressure, first become plastic and enter the fibers of the wood, and then set permanently. Modern methods and exacting needs have developed many types of satisfactory adhesives, each of which has characteristics particularly suited to the ultimate use of the finished product. The glues more commonly used in liquid form are applied with a power-driven spreader comprised of two rollers something like a clothes wringer, usually corrugated, which supply a continuous layer of glue' The amount of glue is controlled by spacing the rollers, and the temperature of the glue mixture is accurately controlled. Production of plywood in large quantities really began with the advent of waterresistant protein glues, and the improvement of the glues has marked most of the improvemeht in plywood.
Although plywood made with water-resistant glues has proved its serviceableness in concrete form work and other
severe uses, there has been an increasing demand for completely waterproof plywood for uses including high moisture hazards. The result is that several plywood manufacturers now produce hot-pressed resin-glued panels considered the ultimate in waterproof woods, which has opened up entirely new fields for the giant panels in a host of exterior uses.
After the panels leave the presses, they are finally carefully inspected, cut to accurate, finished sizes, and then sanded on both faces to precision thickness. An inspector of the Douglas Fir Plywood I'nspection Bureau stands back of every sander. They are independent of the mill itself, and pass an unbiased inspection on the completed plywood.
And the latest and most important development in the rnatter of inspection and grades is that new grade marks and trade marks have been set up by the Industry and approved by the Bureau of Standards in Washington, and from now on plywood will be protected against grade substitution by the marking of the new standard grades upon each and every piece of plywood shipped.
The uses of plywood, the unfolding of its unlimited markets, the great future that seems so certainly spreading out before this wise use of wood for the making of better products, is a great story in itself. This story has simply aimed to give the retail lumber trade an idea of how this very useful product is made. It will close with a description of what Douglas Fir plywood is, taken from U. S. Department of Commerce Bulletin on "American Douglas Fir Plywood and Its lJses," as follows: "Douglas Fir plywood is an engineered wood board or panel and consists of an odd number of sheets of Douglas Fir veneer placed crosswise and bonded together with water-resistant glues which are stronger than the wood itself."
For it must be remembered that a plywood panel half an inch thick is many, many times as strong and serviceable in every possible fashion as the same thickness of a solid board cut from the same wood and of that same thickness. The better part of the log makes the wide, beautiful exterior. The poorer part makes the powerful, cross-laid core. It's about the smartest thing ever done with wood.
Dwight C. Rounds, retired, for many years one of the outstanding lumbermen in the country, passed away at his home in Los Angeles on December 12. He was 78 years of age.
He was one of the founders of the Rounds & Porter Lumber Co. of Wichita, Kansas, which firm operates many retail lumber yards in the Middlewest, and he had large timber holdings and logging operations o.n Vancouver Island, B. C. He was a substantial stockholder in the Owens-Parks Lumber Co. of Los Angeles and lras chairman of the board of directors.
Mr. Rounds retired about fifteen years ago, turning his business interests over to his son, Ralph M. Rounds of Wichita, who is also president of the Rockport Redwood Co. at Rockport, Calif.
He is survived by his wife and son. Funeral services were held at Los Angeles, December 14.
Results of a studl' of the yield of Ponderosa pine in even-age'd stands have just been made available in a nern' technical bulletin published by the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agri.culture.
The study was made by lValter H. Meyer, forrnerly silvicultrrrist of the Pacific Northwest Forest Experiment Station.
Ponderosa pine, he says, is one of the rnost importarrt trees of the western United States, grou'ing on more than 5O million acres in a rang'e extending fronr the western border of the Great Plains to the Pacific Coast ranges. The wood is commercially valuable throughout its range.
The maximum number of trees on an acre in yorlng even-aged Ponderosa rpine stands mav be t'ell over 10.000, probably near 20,000, Mr. Meyer says, but at maturity the number is neve'r more than a feu' hundrecl. This enormous re,duction in number of trees involves the loss of much volume that is seldom utilized under present forest practices. The loss of volume through normal mortality may be as much as 42 per cent of the live volume at 100 )'ears.
In his study, NIr. Ifeyer has prepared numerous tables, including increment tables, stand and stock tables from which predictions of future sizes of trees can be made, height curve graphs tlseful in calculating volume, grorvth and f ield, and volume tables in cubic and board feet.

The Back Panel Company, u'ith offices and warehouses at 310 to 314 East 32nd Street, Los Angeles, wholesale dealers in softwood and hardwood panels, started in business in :r modest way in 1931 when J. W-. (Bill) Back, owner of this concern rented a store building at 3617 Maple Avenue, rvith a total floor space of 800 square feet. The main assets rvere-in addition to a small stock of plywood and a little working capital-IVlr. Back's ability as a salesman, his capacity for a lot of hard work and his firm conviction that the plywood business had a great future.
was torn down and a new building erected that covered the remainder of the lot, providing a total floor area of 8,500 square feet.
Business kept on increasing steadily and in 1937 two lots were bought at 310 to 314 East 32nd Street from Pacific Wood Products Company. This was the old Pacific Door & Sash Company location. A rvarehottse and offices rvere built on this site. The rvhole layout r'vas designed and built for the convenience of customers. Stock comes into the rvarehouse from the spur track in the rear. The various sizes
Today the Back Panel Company has a fine warehouse with 100 feet frontage on 32nd Street, a large stock of plywood, 17,5OO square feet of floor space, and a successful and growing business. At first Mr. Back did the selling and a lot of real physical work around the warehouse' Now the business keeps eight people very busy. Much credit, he says, for the firm's growth and success is due to Mrs' Back for her work in ably assisting him in the office and with the many problems of the business right from the beginning until a fe'iv mo,nths ago.
Not long after the start as the business grew and prospered a garage was rented in the rear of the store to provide more storage space. I-ater a move was made to an adjoining larger store at 3613 Maple Avenue, and in 1933 a small waiehouse addition next to the garage was built' Further growth demanded tnore floor space and in 1935 the garage
and thicknesses of softwood and hardwood panels are st<ired in racks in such a way as to make shipments as effrciently a-nd quickly as possible.
The stock carried includes a complete line of Douglas' Fir plywood, Red River California Pine panels, hardwood panels and dowels.
The front of the building is finished in stucco. The walls of the office are of Philippine Mahogany panels. Ash panels were used for the ceiling. The floor is Philippine Orion.
Frank Baldwin is the company's outside salesman. Ted Back, formerly with Standard Lumber Company, is inside man.
Alma Thompson, who was formerly with Brown & Derry I-umber Co., is bookkeeper and auditor.
On Friday, December 23, Back Panel Cornpany will hold their annual open house for their custon-rers and friends.

No one l-ould have belier,ed that such a fuss could l.:ar.e been raised by such a small matter as a ferv thousandths of an inch on a sl-ringle nail but this subject has, nevertheless, been "hot" irr tlre rlisctrssiorrs and just plain "cussin's" of Southern Caiifornia lurnlter retailers, contractors and shinglers alike for the past couple of mon,ths.
Now all are jubilant again because the FHA office, which had for a time been insisting on the thicker-shanked 13 gauge 3d nail for use in applying 16-inch cedar shingles on roofs and rvalls, has now accepted a nail of. 14 gaage-|L/a inches long-L/a inch head-hot dipped zinc coated, which is a nail in much closer harmony with the nail specifications recommended in the Red Cedar Shingle Bure'au's Certigrade Handbook.
Dealers and contractors, and the shinglers who put the cedar shingles on, all had been grouching because they felt the nail FHA was insisting on was heavier than necessary for the job and didn't permit as good a job of application as the thinner nail. These same men of the building industry are now giving high p,raise to W. J. (Jack) Ivey, the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau's field represehtative in California for some diplomatic work with all concerned in getting the nail size shaved down a few thousandths of an inch in diameter, a task which they agree was much more of a feat than it sounds.
Jack is an authority on shingle construction and has established a friendship wirth hundreds of California dealers.

George C. CorniiiusBorn in Waco, Texas, he went to school there, and learned the hardwood lumber business by working in a sawmill at Grayburg, Texas. He came to San Francisco in 1910. His first position in California was with E. A. Howard & Company, hardwood dealers, San Francisco, as a salesman. Later he was associated with Mitsui & Company, being in charge of the selling of their hardwoods in the United States, with headquarters in San Francisco.
He went into business for himself in San Francisco in May, 1914. and has operated steadily ever since as an importer of Philippine Mahogany and as distributor for Port Lamon Lumber Company, of Manila, P. I. Through all these years he has still been closely identified with the sale of hardwoods imported by Mitsui & Company, including Japanese Oak, Birch and Tamo. His company, George C. Cornitius Hardwood Company, also imports from the Philippine Islands fancy veneer logs such as Dao, Yakal and Narra, and exports in large quantities such West Coast fancy hardwoods as Claro, Walnut logs, Myrtle arrd Maple burls and Maple clusters.
Mr. Cornitius lives in San Francisco. His main hobby is golf. He is a member of the Shrine, and of the Merchants Exchange Club.
He makes frequent trips to New York and other Eastern buying centers in the interest of distributing Philippine hardwoods throughout the country. On transcontinental journeys he travels a good deal by air to save time.
The picture of the pretty girl on his office desk in the Merchants Exchange Building is his 11-year-old daughter, Patsy Ruth.

"The Forest Service rvill fight any proposed extension of national parks in California that will lock up national forest resources vital to the welfare and prosperity of the people and the State," said Regional Forester S. B. Show, Chief of the California Region, U. S. Forest Service. This applies to the proposed Kings Canyon National Park and any other nerv parks u'hich under National Park Service policy tvould be ,permanently closed to all economic use and developrnent and managed solely for special classes of recreation.
"California," said Mr. Shorv, "already has more national parks and monuments than any other State in the Union-a total of four parks and eight monuments that cover 4,000,000 acres, an area greater than the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island, and include the outstanding scenic and natnral wonders of the State. In addition, California also has more than 70 State parks and monuments. These areas are all permanently closed to economic use of their resources and are managed solely for recreation. This is surely an adequate reservation for park and recreational purposes out of a region containing such a wealth of natural resources that are vital to the u'elfare and prosperity of the people of California.
"The Forest Service, long acknowledged as the outstanding conservation agency of the Federal Government, challenges the implications that the Kings River area is not fully pro,tected for the best public interests," said Regional Forester Shorv. "The K,ings River basin and its resources are not threatened by destruction ancl lvasteful exploitation. They already belong to the people of California and the Nation. This area was incorDorated into the na-
tional forest system as {ar back as 1893, and {or 45 years has been under the protection of the Forest Service. In 1931 the wildest and most rugged parts of these mountains were set aside as the High Sierra Wilderness, to be held perpetually in a primitive condition and safeguarded against the intrusion of roads, resorts, hotels and other forms of commercialized recreation. Realizing the importance of the Kings River basin for irrigation lvater, power developtnent and public recreation, the Forest Service in 1935 secured several key tracts of privately ou'ned land in the South F'ork Canyon. In addition, the Hume I-ake area of 21 ,413 acres, adjacent to Kings River and an integral part of the wdtershed, was purchasecl for outdoor recreation and the preservation of Bigtree groves. The total amount spent by the Forest Service in acquiring these lands was $423,535. Thrrs, the people already own a well-consolidated land rrnit tl-rat is amply guarded against all uses detrimental to the public ir-rterest. and open to all uses that are to the best public welfare.
"The proposal to create a 400,0@ acre national park out of national forest land on the Middle and South Forks of Kings River is not a new one. Although there has never been a popular clemand for this park, several such bills hale been introducecl in Congress, largely at the request of the Department of the Interior, during the past 20 years. Many studies of the situation have been made and the resorlrce relationship between the mountains and the valley areas clearly definecl. The conclusions reached have always been adverse to the creation of a park in this region.

IJusir.ress possibilities in the renrodeling field are ably denonstrated b1' ths Cinclerclla-like change in the Ray Andrervs' kitchen of 3243 N. E. 16th Avenue, Portlaud, Ore.
The before photograph shows that the old kitcben was b1' no nleans archaic. The sink was tiled and surroundecl by sorne working counter, there u'as a breakfast trook, and a fume alcove over the stove. A typical American kitchen -like millions in rvhich the American woman seemingly is corrtent to prepare the "three a day."
Then the transforma.titln from the old to tl.re ner'v modernized and streamlined kitchen. The old fixtures were taken out; the plaster wall curt into for a new door; another boardecl up-all the rvalls were covered with Kraft'rvoocl, a resin-sealed, tuclor-grained plywood paneling, given
one coat of dull paint, ancl a finishing coat of washable paint; the painted cabinets moved in ; the M and N'I Rezo doors hung, and with a few finishing touches the job rr'as completed.
Happiest ang;le, according to Mrs. Andrews, is the teaming up of range and refrigerator on one side of the room, rvhile Mr. Andrews favors the serving bar-a long counter that pulls out from the low partition that divides the sink ancl breakfast nook.
Tl.re remodeling job was plaunecl, clesigned and executed by Modern Kitchen Builders of Portland. The Nf and NI Woodworking Company, Portland, are the manttfacturers of Kraftr,vood plyrvood panels and M and N{ Rezo doors.

source of irrigation water for 800,000 acres of rich agricultural lands in the San Joaquin Valley, sup,porting a rural and urban population of 150,000 people. IJnfortunately, the river varies greatly in flow from month to mo,nth and from year to ye'ar. In dry years there is a serious shortage of water, and in wet years floods cause millions of dollars of damage to farm lands and urban property, and endanger human lives. The problem, therefore, is: l, r,vater regulation and storage, and 2, control of floods.
"The preliminary Kings River water storage and flood control project calls for three reservoirs: Pine Flat in the foothill region ,of the main stream, Tehipiti on the Middle Fork and Cedar Grove on the South Fork. The last tr.vo named reservoirs have heretofore always been included rvithin the proposed Kings Canyon Park, but in the last bill introduced in Congress (H.R.10436), by De Rouen of Louisiana, in order to meet the strenuous and long continued objections,of irrigation and water company officials, the proposed park boundary was moved back by Interior f)s'pa.rtment officials to the highwater line of these reservoirs. As a re'sult, the Tehipiti reservoir would form a pocket within. the proposed park, while the Cedar Grove reservoir was excluded by bisecting the great South Fork Canyon by a line that follows n,o natural topographic features. This illogical pncposed boundary divides the canvons into two parts-the lower part to be administered by the U. S. Forest Service and the upper part by the National

Park Service. Thus, the public would have to deal on adjacent lands with officials of two Government bureaus operating under different rules, and also pay an entrance fee when passing from free national forest lands into the national park.
"The key question of this problern is: Shall the rvhole Kings River area be left .open in national forest status to allow for full utilization of natural resources and all forms of recre'ational use, or shall it be divided and one part made int.o a national park that is forever closed to all economic use and development and managed solely for certain classes of recreation.
"All the studies made of the Kings River problem show absolutely that the area must be treated as a whole. Any artificial division, such as that norv proposed, which will leave part open for all needed forms of development and rrse and part closed to them, will sharply limit the t'elfare and future growth of the large depende'nt valley population.
"As for recreati,on, I can assure everyone that the manv resources of the Kings River area will be fully safeguarded and develorped by the Forest Service. Detailed plans to this end have be'en prepared and work has been under way on a substantial basis for some time. These plans and policies were worked out by Forest Service officers on the ground, in cooperation rvith local and state-tvide organizations and mountaineering clubs. Furthermore, there are no desirable recreational policies or improvements for the Kings River area. r,'i'hich any other Gove'rnment agencv may wish to put into effect, that the Forest Service cannot orovide."
