CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO OUR FRIENDS IN THE LUMBER TRADE

7Y.V aThe H-E Man is more than a trade mark character; he is a symbol with two-fold meaning. First of all, he means the people who make up our organization the H-E workers, producing Redwood for vital war uses. He is also the symbol of lumber at its very best, an expression of quality. Our people speak to you through this symbol. They have served well in the past, and will do so in the postwar future.

BEST \(/ISHES FOR A HAPPY AND VICTORIOUS NE\T YEAR

Ginsburg was just naturally not cut out for soldiering. Or that's the way it looked to his superior officers all through his training days. ft wasn't that he was in the least unwilling, or uncooperative. It was the opposite. Ginsburg tried. He tried hard. But he just didn't seem to sawy the mechanigs ef seldiering.

He drilled ladly, forgot frequently. He was as clumsy with a rifle as a growri man cotrld be. His marksmanship was terrible. But Ginsburg kept right on trying, and the result is that he stuck to his outfit when it was sent abroad, and into action.

Then a sudden transformation took place. Ginsburg became a bearcat, a fighting fool, a gunman extraordinary.

His fame spread. The whole regiment heard of what a fighter Ginsburg was.

And so one day an officer who had worked and worried with Ginsburg during his early training days and had given him up for hopeless, came to see Ginsburg's captain to find out what had worked these wonders in this rookie.

"I used psychology, that's all," said the Captain of Ginsburg's comp:rny. "The first time we went into action Ginsburg carried a rifle like the rest of his company, and was as clumsy and hopeless as dsual. So the next day before we started forward, I took Ginsburg into a corner, and I handed him a machine gun, and I said to him:

"'Here Ginsburg. NOW YOU'RE IN BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF.''
