Lew Goda,rd Welcorlued a,s Suprerne Nine Mernber

In the November Bulletin of International Hoo-Hoo is published a welcome to the official family of Lewis A. Godard, No. 30131, Supreme Bojum of Jurisdiction No. GSan Francisco and Oakland, California. The article start.; rvith Lew's brief autobiograpl.rv, as follows :

"Wasborn in Daytot-t, Washington and after spending summers driving mules and pitching hay on a ranch, went to Washington State College at Pullman, Washington, and in l9l7 joined the Student's Army Training Corps. Discharged from the army in 1918, and finding it necessary to go to work, and having made up my mind to stay in the big city, secured a job pounding the typewriter in a wholesale lumber office and joi.ned the Hoo-Hoo's March of the same year, being the youngest to be taken in this jurisdiction.

"Later went into partnership with my first employer, and in 1926 became sales manager of the old Hobbs Wall and Company.

"In 1938 the old company discontinued and a new firm was organized, called Hobbs Wall Lumber Co. in which firm became a director and vice-president, and now presiderit and general manager, and always an ardent supporter of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-lloo."

The Bulletin article then continues:

The above biography appears to us entirely too modest. Apparently our new Supreme Bojum does not like to talk about himself. We submit reports received from others which tell the rnore complete story.

"Brother Godard is an ardent Hoo-Hoo and is highly respected by all of his friends and associates in the Cali- fornia Lumber Fraternity. He has long looked for the ad vancement of Hoo-Hoo and is in a large measure responsible for the growth and continued progress of Club No. 39, of which he is an honored Past President. A man of the type of Brother Godard is definitely needed to represent the West on the Supreme Nine.

"California will be well represented in'the person of Lew Godard. Hoo-Hoo will show a substantial growth this coming year.

"Recognition and popularity of this new member of the Supreme Nine is attested by the fact that all Hoo-Hoo Clubs of California and all of Jurisdiction No. 6 unanimously approve his selection."

MPR 603--Surplus Lumber

Washington, D. C., Nov. 29-Sales by private owners and by the government of almost all surplus lumber, except used lumber, have been brought under a new regulation, fixing prices at levels now prevailing for producing mill sales, plus a transportation allowance, the Office of Price Administration said today.

Hardwood plywood, ship oak ind a few other items not likely to be found in surplus stock are omitted from the new regulation. All sales of privately owned surplus lumber, amounting to $50 or less are exempted from price control.

Sales of $300 or less by the government, government contractors or government agents, which were exempted under an earlier action, are still exempt, OPA said, and used lumber remains under the coverage of a regulation permitting community dollar-and-cent ceilings.

Most of the lumber affected by today's action will be that left over as a result of termination or cancellation.of government contracts, OPA said. In any case, to qualify as surplus the lumber must have been bought for use and not for resale.
