l95O wlll br o yror of Opporfunl?y.

In thot rcrp.cl lt wlll dlfior lltllo from ony prcvlour yeor.

Evcr dncc lho Dcclorullon of Indcpondcncc wor glven lo the world, Opporlunlly hqr bccn thc blrrhrlght of cvcry Amcrlcon.

In thc old doyr Klngr urod to roy, "God modc you o commoner, ond mode nc o Klnglcve you tug3 ond me o robc-God dld lt." c)f courre lt wqr on unholy lle lhen or lt lr now; bul ot for or the fellow under foot wqr conccrncd lt mlght or well have been lrue.

Tlme wor when they ured to celebrqte Chrlrlmst by honglng on glbbeb other God-worrhlpplng men who chqnced to dbogrce wlth them. On thc blrlhdoy of rhe gentle Jerut lhey would derecrqle Hir menory, cloiming lhey ware chcmpionlng Hfu cquce. The horrorr procficed on the eorly Chrirtionr by the bofiodonl hqve only been rurpossed in horror ond ferocity by those lhol were proctlced uPon ono qnolher by loter Chrirliqnr.

The. world found itc lorluous woy lhrough eros of qgony ond Inlultlce when for q rnqn to think forcefully ond intelligently ond to speok freely<ven though every thought qnd word wor for the benefit of rtruggling humonity-a;os dongerour indeed.

You con lrqce fhe liberqtion of the humqn rqce-lhe down of Opportunity-to thot doy when thon inspired forefqlhers of ours signed lheir nqmes to lhot Declorotion qnd gove it lo the world sr the true birthright of msn. By so doing they set ot liberty thought, speech, ombifion, originolity, initiotive, polriolilm, love of counlry, love of home, love of God.

And so on New Yeor's Doy--.-ond on eyery other dcy of the yeor for thqt mqller -the thoughtful qnd groteful mqn qnd womqn cqn well qftord lo devole some momenls lo lhe conlemplotion of our incomporobte blessings. t950 will be s time of Opportunity. Eoch of us will hove the Opportuniry to do our level. besf in whqlever work we moy be engoged in. My rights only ferminste where YOURS begin. We will hcrve the Opportunity to think, ond speok, ond work, ond do iusf os we think besl, provided we do not infringe on the rights of olhers. We hqve the dghl lo creqle success, qnd to enioy its fruilsl We hove the right to pursge heohh, hoppiness, ond prosperity occording lo our own choice, os long os we do nol inlrude on lhe other fellow's efiorls in the sqme direction. We hqve the right to help the other fellow, lo cooperote with him in order thot we moy help one onother-the Golden Rule<nd lo the end thot this notion moy be better off.

And when you sqy-"| hqve the righl"-you hove one hond on the Declorotion of Independence ond the other on the Constitution of the Uniled Stoles, qnd don'i you forget it! And don't forget thot before thqt firsf documenl wqs wrillen no mqn hqd ever been oble to sqy-"1 hove the righf"-<nd gel owoy with it.

So, os we look forwqrd with hope ond couroge into 1950, let us breothe o prqyer of thqnkfulness for such Opporlunily.

In case some friend gave you a bottle of licker for Christmas, and you want to find out whether it is good stufr or not, you might follow the directions recently sent me by a friend, as follows: PasE an electric currcnt through a quart bf the stufr. If the current causes a precipitation of lye, tin, arsenate, iron slag, and alum-the licker is just fair. If, however, the booze hauls off and chasee the current of electricity back into the generator-you've got yourself some good whiskey. *

A prominent British owner and operator of bars and pubs has been in the United States studying and observing the methods pursued by eating and drinking places in this country. He said he came over because he thought there should be better relations "between these two English drinking countries." {. ,B 1(

A well known writer says he is certain now that Ike Eisenhower is a candidate for President because alt his recent photos are taken without his glasses. Come to think about it, it's true, but it took a mighty observant fellow to tumble to that t1,.* *

I heard Ike make a speech recently, and he said some things that must have hurt the feelings of sorne folks in Washington. For instance, he said, ,'A liberal is a man in Washington who wants to play the Almighty, with our money." Guess fke meant the same thing another smart man I know did when he said that our government has repealed the multiplication table, substituted government for God, started re-creating the world through planned economics. * * *

Also, Ike said that he deplores the drift away from an earlier simplicity, and loss of respect for mere thrift and independence. And, he added, he thought that America's high standards of living are NOT the result of political legerdemain or crackpot fantasies concerning reward without effort, and harvests without planting. I gathered from his remarks that General Ike is NOT entirely in sympathy with the drift to security and from liberty that is so much praised in high government*"tTt.r today.

Such remarks and others of like portent have been dropping frequently from Eisenhower's lips for some time now, and up to the present moment Mr. Truman has not seen fit to publicly castigate him, or place him categorically among those "selfish interests" who alone would obstruct the drift toward the welfare state.

I gather from news reportr tfiat the President DID write a letter to James F. Byrnes and give him unshirted hades for his recent speecher which sort of took the hide ofr of our present governmental trends. And the papers have also credited the Missourian with the statement that nine out of every ten newspapcr editors and columnists are againet him. Well, that puts me in good company, at any rate. The fact is that of all the newspapers I read, only one defends the fiscal and economic policies of the Fair Deal. And, strange as it may Beem, the editors that talk loudest and hardest against our preoent administration, are old, hardshell Democratic writers in the South. No Republican writers I know of are half as bitter in their condemnation of what goes on in Washington today, as are the best known and most respected Jeffersonian Democrats among the Southern editors. Funny, isn't it?

There was once a fellow named Thomas Jefferson-tall, freckled, red-headed chapwho had more or less to do, if f remember rightly, with the creation of this nation. Likewise, unless my memory plays me false, he was the founder of the Democratic Party. When Ike Eisenhower deplored our drift away from our earlier simplicity of government, he probably had in mind Jefferson's opinion regarding what our federal government should be and do. For Jefferson suggested that our "general government" as he called it, "be reduced to a very simple organization and a very inexpensive one-a few plain duties to be performed by a few servants." * :&

A simple and inexpensive organization with a few servants to do all the chores! Jefferson was a great patriot and statesman, no doubt, but as a prophet he was a total failure. Wonder what the old boy would think if he knew this "simple organization" spends nearly fifty billions of dollars annually of the taxpayers' money, and sticks its nose into the affairs of all men, at home and abroad? Hope he doesn't know. It might make him unhappy, even in heaven' ,. * *

One Southern Democratic editor recently described our national situation in this fashion, "The assumption that government is Santa Claus is sheer illusion and sucker bait. Government can't give anything to anybody without first taking something away from someone else. As a clearing house, government can rob Peter to pay Paul. And the sixty million gainfully occupied, self-supporting Americans should be alerted to the fact that they are the Peters who are being robbed*Ot*an. political wasters."

man, of the Hourton Port, a Democrat end a pstriot of the purert ray rcrcnc, "In hir lpccch Mr. Truman miued few votc-gcttlng trickr. Hc appealcd to thc votlng groupt who want the wcalth rhared witfi them, to thc farmert who want subridier, to labor unionr who went morc wagc!, to the cooperatives who want protcction from taxes, to thc old pcoplc who want pensionr, to tenants who want cheap subsidizcd houaing, to thosc who want federal aid for education, to thore who want free medical attention, to thoge who want government grantp for power and reclamation, and to thore who want social cquality. In fact the Prcsident declared for practically qverything cxcept economy and efficiency in government. But tfiose are only the outmoded principles of Jefferson, Lincoln, Waehington, and Cleveland."

The biggest problem that Americang have to face in 1950 is taxes. The first tax increase for the year is the Social Security tax, which jumps fifty.pcr cent on January first. It hag been the same for fourteen yearE, one per cent payroll tax on both employee and employer up to $3,000 a year income. Now it becomes one and one-half per cent on both. It affects about 35,0fi),(X)0 workers, and their employers. There is no change in the use of that great payroll tax. It goes to the Social Security fund where it is scooped up by the Treasury, and used for all the expenses of government. In its place goes government promises to pay, with interest. There is no money in the Social Security fund, into which vast billions have been paid. There has never been any money there. No matter how high the tax goes, there will never be any money in the fund'

When the time comes when the Social Security fund will be called upon for cash, the Treasury will cash its promises to pay-with interest. And where will the Treasury-the government-get the money? The government has but one source ef lsysnus-1il(6s. And when the Social Security fund needs money and calls for payment, the government will get the money via the taxation route. ft's that simple. The workers and employers are taxed to raise the money; and when it is needed there must be more taxes-probably on all the citizens-to meet the demands. Maybe that's what they mean when they speak of a "revolving fund." When they started that scheme of doubleentry bookkeeping, one of the lawmakers said that it "reek-

cd with guile." He wasn't "iurt chomping hir gum!" aB the rtrcet Arabr put it. All New Dcal bookhccping rccked with guilc, but this Social Security typc of accounting was -and remainr-thc champ.

Newsweek, a dependable magazine of current cvcnts, devoted much space in itr December 12th iasue, to uncovering our present tax situation by means of facts and figurcB. They particularly rought to show the small income tax payer that he, and not the rich man, is the fall guy under our prclent tyttcm, and the facts as presented' are startling. The man making under S5,000 a year income, knows what his direct income tax is, bccause hc pays it apecifically. But he does NOT lcnow that the hidden taxes he pays amount to MORE than his direct income tax. Yet such is a fact. About half of thc income of our federal government, and about ninety per cent of all state and local tax incomes, come from taxes on businese. All that money is promptly added to the cost of doing businesE, and goes to the congumer to be paid as hidden taxes. The most deluded citizen is the small income man who thinks his dircct taxes are his entire tax burden. THEY ARE LESS THAN HALF WHAT HE ACTUALLY PAYS.

Newsweek coneiders this special report to be so vital to every American that it published it in full in some national newspapers, as well as in its own magazine, under the title -"f3vgs; How much do you really pay?" Gentle reader, if you want to read it all you need only write to Newsweek Magazine, 152 W. 42nd St., New York City, and they will send it to you. Every man who cares what is happening to this country would do well to read it. They are trying to answer the question-"fi1s taxes killing our economic growth?"

Olivcr M. Knodc Named PreridcntLumbcr Dealer's Research Council Mcctg Of Unitcd Stata Gypsum Company

The board of directors of tlre United States Gypsum Company, at their November, 1949 meeting, named Oliver M. Knode to the office of president which was then vacant.

This appointment insures a continuation of the company policies of quality production an<l dealer service that have made U.S.G. one of the leading manufacturers of building materials. Mr. Krrode has had a leading position in the formulation of those policies ()ver a long period of years.

Mr. Knocle started his career fifty-two years ago in tlre gypsum mill at Oakfreld, N. Y. which later became a part of the United States Gypsum Company. In l%J2 he was transferred to the operating department at the Chicago office. He held various executive positions in that department bccoming vice president in charge of operations; from 1931 to 1936 executive vice presitlent; from 1936 to 1942 prcsident; and from 1942 to 1949 chairman of the executive comnrittee.

Thcse ycars of actual executive experience and extcnsive study of gypsum organizations throughout the country and abroad, have made Mr. Knode an authority on the mining, processing ancl merchandising of gypsum and related building products.

No extensive changes in the personnel of the sales and service departments of the company are contemplated but the aim of the present officials will be to maintain and improve, rvhere possible, the company's service to all factors in the building industry.

Meetings.of the Lumber Dealer's Research Council were hcld in San Francisco during the week of the annual convention of the NRLDA.

The nominating c<lnrmittee, composed of Norman P. Mason, Lynn Boyd and Paul DeVille, believed the Iixecutive Conrmittee shoutd be enlarged, so the llylaws were amended to permit the Committee to consist of up to twenty. Nominations were made and the following elected:

New Kitchen Planning Kit

Considered to be one of the most unusual and effective sales tools ever offered to lumber dealers, a new Kitchen Planning Kit is now being made available to Curtis dealers by Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis \\roodrvork. Consisting of more than 100 units, contained in an attractive leather carrying case, this kit enables' Curtis dealers to plan a kitchen which exactlr' fits the customer's needs and means.

In using the kit, the dealer sets up a miniature room which is adjustable to the size of space available. Exact replicas of Curtis kitchen cabinets are then fitted into this room. The tiny cabinets are made of plastic, finely molded to shou' exterior details of the Curtis line. Each piece is stamped n'ith the unit number of the full size cabinet it represents in order to facilitate easier ordering.

The planning kit includes doors, windows, a floor, and the room u'alls, to simulate the actual kitchen. Included also are a miniature stove and refrigerator so that prospects may see how Curtis cabinets fit in with other standard kitchen equipment.

In setting up a miniature kitchen, Curtis dealers explain that Curtis kitchen units are designed and constructed to permit quick and easy installation, and that these wood cabinets mav be decorated by the owner in any desired color.

"The Curtis Kitchen Planning Kit," stated I. H.

What About Mahosany in 1950?

By Geo. N. Lomb, Mohogony Associotion, lnc.

This question is a perenniat at this time, as the furniture and woodworking industries make their plans for the comirrg year. Before we try to take a peek into thc future, it might bc well to review the past year. In doing so, we will, as usual, consicler nrahogany lumber and veneer separately.

Thc Janu:rry 1949 furniture market was really the first full-fledged buyer's market since the war. Firms that camc to market with good values properly priced, dicl satisfactory business. Others did not fare so well. Mahogany made a goocl showing in that nrarket both in traditional antl contemporary styles.

During the late winter and early spring, business, on the whole, was way off. Many manufacturing firms rvcrc running on part time or wcre closed dou'n for various periods.

Thc summer market came along arrd again ltuycrs wcre choosv, did a lot of shopping and bought with considerctl rcstraint. I\fost of them ha<l thc mistaken impressiorr that manufacturers would keep prodttcing lleyoncl or<lcr filc limits and favored lines rvould be available for prompt shipment if business picked up in the fall. This the manttfacturers failed to do. As a result, fall orclers rverc acceptctl on a 30-90 day shipping basis. Market promotion units wcrc taggecl "sold out" as the marrufacturers coucctrtratctl their efforts to improve delivery <lates on regttlar itcrns.

This is where we come in. July rvas a dull markct for mahogany rvith furnitttre manufactttrers buying ouly for crlrrcnt nee<ls. The mahogany prosPects were anything but encouraging from the long-range point of vierv; and producirrg mahogany is alrvays a long-range proposition. Conserluentlv practically all the importers quit buying logs in the Africar-r market. Ilusiness rvas better in Attgust bttt still rrot too good ; nloreover there rverc still plenty of logs and high veneer inventories.

Alrout that time the u'eather tvent on al1 tlllprece<lented ranll)age, rvashing ont roads and bridges. Then came September arrd the furniture bttsiness picked up rapidll'. Ordcrs u'ent to Africa to resume the buving of logs but by the end of Noven.rber there had been only a trickle of imports. Since West Coast Africa is the principal source of mahogany veneer logs, veneer production has lagged far behind orclers and shipments. As a result, certain favored items are in short supply and ir-rventories have been sharply reduced.

It is believed that after the first of the year, at least by February 1, log shipments from Africa will be resumed on a more normal scale and severe shortages will be only of a teitrporary nature.

Tlie supply of Central American logs has followed the normal pattern of coming out in the late summer and fall months, so that in neither veneer nor lumber has there been any apparent shortage. However, because of the shortage of African logs, there has been an increased demand for Central American lumber and veneer.

The season in Central America has been only fair and it does not appear that imports this year will equal those of either 1947 or 1948, which were all-time record years.

Generally speaking, Central American mahogany lumber is in a better position than it was a year ago. The mills have better working inventories, can fill orders more promptly with drier lumber and ship a better range of grades and thicknesses. Even so, lumber inventories are well below peacetime levels and any unusual spurt in buying would cut into reserves very sharply.

From a competitive stan<lpoint, the mahogany prospects appear to be excellent both for lumber and for veneer. The better native woods continue to be in short supply and at prices very little under the peak. On the other hand, the price of mahogany lumber is materially down from the top.

The outstanding new market for mahogany has been for television cabinets.

Itepresentatives of the lumber inclustry said the news canrc as a "shock." Others termed it "impossible" and "out of the question."

That calls for a $1.45 hourly nrinimum. although the avcrage r,vage is over $1.75 hourly.

Lift Truck with Hydruulic Grab Arm Year-End Review of the Building Indurtry

Handlec 60-foot Steal Pipc Scctionr

New York, Dec. 3l.-Construction of living quarters seenls certain to continue through 1950 at a high lcvcl, according to L. M. Cassidy, Vice President for Sales of Johns-Manville Corporation.

"Thc building in<lustry can look forward to anothcr exccllurt building year," he s:ri<I, "because of thc continuing <lcnr:tnd for housing an<l a still existing backlog of nonrcsidcntial construction of certain types that must be comlrlctcrl. ()f course, this assunres n() excessive tlistrrrbance fronr other cconrlntic sortrces an<l continucd aggrcssive s:rlcsmanship.

"l'rollably the total of new construction and alter:rtion att<l rclr:tir rvork rvill lle in the neighborh<lo<l of 25 or 26 billion doll:rrs," hc saicl. "\Me may not cqual thc approxirrurtcly 1,000,000 homes brrilt in 1949, the greatest building ycar on record, llut a fairly close approach shoul<l still ' mcan high pr<lsperity frlr the industry ancl the nation."

Natural gas is being piped to northern California from fields located 1600 miles away in Texas and New Mexico. Total cost for this worl<l's largest diameter natural gas pipe line will exceed $150,000,000. It is a project starstuclded with new ecluipment and netv engincering ideas, particularly on the 506-mile section called the "Super fnch" which I'acific Gas & Electric Company is building between Milpitas and Needles in California. Ilechtel-I'rice-Conyes, contractors, are at work on the initial 80-mile section laying 30,000 tons of steel pipe, 34" in diameter.

The pipe is manufactured in 30-ft. lengtirs in South San Francisco and trucked by Miles & Sons, lvell-known hauling firm of Merced, California to Santa Clara where they are welcled into 60-ft. lengths. Big problem for the Miles firm rvas in loading these off-size hard-to-handle 60-ft. sections, on trailers and truck bolsters for hauling to the right-of-rvay.

A Gerlinger Lift Truck rvith a specially engineered hydraulic grab arm was developed by the Gerlinger Carrier Co. of Dallas, Oregon in cooperation with its California representatives, Burnaby & Williams. The Lift Truck with this front-end mounted attachment successfully loaded the 60-ft. sections of steel pipe, an operation that has been nicknamed "Operation Impossible" (because, as Miles & Sons point out, many an old-timer on the project upon first glimpse of the equipment, said "It won't work!"). The Gerlinger, witl-r its counter-active weight distribution and reserve power, proved to be more than a match for the 4-ton pipe sections.

The Hydraulic Grab Arm on the Gerlinger Lift Truqk is designed to hold large and small circular material while traveling. There is positive hydraulic pressure on both the forks ancl the upper grab arm. making it possible to securely grip the load travel. Where the pipe is laying on the ground, the forks will dig in under as the grab arm comes down to lock the pipe for lifting. The use of chock blocks, cradles etc., is eliminated. The grab arm can be raised and lowered by conveniently-placed fingertip control . and is another of the many field-proven attachments u'hich Gerlinger has engineered.

We know nol, Mr. Cassidy pointed out, that thc cor-rstruction industry in 1949, as ()ne of the main props of the Anrcrican cc()nonly, turne<l r,vhat rniglrt have lrecn a serious post-u'ar <lepression into a mild recession fronr rvhich there rvlrs rluick recovery.

"Without the 26 billion dollars spent on homc building, new construction, remodeling and maintenance in 1948 and 1949, we might well have had a business setback as serious as that of 7921after the first World War.

"In 1949, the volume of total private building remained close to record highs and the outstanding perfornrer was rcsi<lential construction. Contrary to all expcctations, home building, after an indifferent start in the spring of 1949, blaze<I ahead in the second half of the year. It is likcly that around 920,000 new home starts will be rcportecl for 1949 as compared rvith 930,000 for 1948. If the usual number of unreported starts in areas beyond incorporated limits, are added to this total, 1949 will be another morethan-a-million homes yeat."

Fir Plywood Leads Building Material Comeback

The close of the year fin<ts building materials of all sorts-wood and atl other standard materials--+njoying the strongcst kind of trrarkets. A concern of national reputc and distribtttion that makes an<l sells building materials other than wood all over the United States, rePorts that evcry thing it makcs is in powerful demand, and that most of their products are several weeks behind in delivery' They can sec nothing else in sight for months to come'

Ilut the strongest comeback being done by any building material in the entire list, is Fir l'lywood. f)uring the war this material rose to new heights both as to demand ancl price. Late in 1948 demand and price both started slumping, and the price went steadily downward from a top of about $95 at the mill for quarter inch board, to a low closc to $60 in July, 1949. Then it suddenly startcd going up again, and to<lay the price of that same item is above $80, and still rising at last rep()rts. Every item thc plywood mills makc has improved accordingly'

Thc raw material for the board has gone up like a balloon. Logs that could be bought for $60 a tl-rousand last summer are now up to $90, thus forcing the producers to shove up the plywood prices' And logs will grow scarcer as the winter progresses and logging drops off. Prodttction of I'lywood is averaging 35 million feet a week for

thc past couple of months, while orders have been far greater than that, thus piling up a lot of unlilled business' Th" Ply*,rod producers think their business volume likely to hclld up ftlr rnonths to come. Inventories are low in all plywood hands, retailers, jobbcrs, and mills. So Irir Plywood looks particularly strong.

Foresters Expect Bigger Ski Season

It's merry ski-time in California. And indications are that more skiers will be tracking the white mountain slopes this season than ever before.

"California region led all other regions of the U. S. Forest Service last year, with a total of 580,000 visits to ski areas on national forests," says Millard M. Barnum, assistant regional forester at San Francisco. "But that was just a fair season, because of unfavorable mid-winter weather. 'We expe'ct California will maintain its leading position this year, and go on to exceed the previous best record-the 650,000 visits in the pre-war ski season of l940-4I'"

Two new ski areas and two new ski-lifts at existing areas are added attractions this winter'

The new areas are Squaw Valley, near Lake Tahoe and partly within the Tahoe National Forest, offering a double-chair lift 8,000 feet long and a new lodge; and Big Bear, at Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino National Forest, offering a chair lift 3,016 feet long.

The other new lifts are a T-bar lift 1,350 feet long at Mile-High resort near Long Barn in the Stanislaus National Forest; and a new chair lift 5,130 feet long at Snow Valley, 30 miles from San Bernardino in the San Bernardino National Forest.

Fred Burgers Honorcd on 75th Birthday

A group of his friends honored Fred Burgers, veteran salesman with the Union Lumber Company, San Francisco, with a luncheon on his 75th birthday, December 5. The luncheon was at Fred Solari's Grill, Maiden Lane, San Francisco. About 70 were present, and telegrams reached Fred at the luncheon from 26 friends who could not attend.

A cocktail party preceded the luncheon, and there was much reminiscing among the group. Fred has been in the lumber business most of his business life, a period close to half a century. He is still in the lumber business, and enjoys calling on his friends.

Fred was presented with a number of things that he rvill always treasure. Not the least was a plaque containing the signature of all those at the luncheon. Lew Godard made the presentation of the gifts. These included a gold chain with fob attached. The fob had a diamond set in it and Fred's initials, and an inscription ,,From your many

good friends in the lumber industry on your 75th birthday." Other gifts were $75.00 in new silver dollars right from the San Francisco Mint, one for every year of his life; a hand painted tie with his name on it, and a dice box with perpetual sixes on the dice.

Bovard Shibley of the Union Lumber Company was in charge of the luncheon, which was served buffet style.

Each of the San Francisco papers had articles on their sport pages congratulating Fred on his 75th birthday, and recalling the fact that in his younger days he was prominent as a runner and a boxer. IIe was 440-yard champion of the Pacific Coast early in the century, and also lightheavyweight amateur champion boxer. In those days World Champion Jim Corbett, used to train at the Olympic Club, and Fred, a prominent member of the Club, often sparred with him in the gymnasium there. Incidentally Fred Burgers was born in San Francisco.

New York, December 8-A new high dollar volume of construction has been attained this year in the area east of the llocky Mountains, it was reported today by Thomas S. I{olden, prcsident of F. W. Dodge Corporation'

Statistical tabulations by the Dodge corporation of building and engineering project contracts awarded in the thirty-seven states in the first eleven months show a greater dollar volume than that reported for the entire year 1948 when a new all-time high mark rvas set, Mr. Holden disclosed.

The cumulative volume of investment commitments for this year through November was $9,430,2n,000 against $g,4D,618,000 reported for the twelve months of last year' Compared with the first eleven months of last year, contract valuations were up 8 per cent, the Dodge executive revealed.

"The building uptrend whicli began in August has continuecl to gain an accelerated momentum, rvith last month's contract volume showing a sharp 57 per cent gain over November a year ago," Mr. Holden said' "Particularly significant, I believe, is the fact that the 56 per cent gain in private contracts almost paralleled the 59 per cent in.r"u." in public-account work last month comparcd lvitll November of last year. Private work in November totaleci $642,078,000 against a public-account volume of $315,683'000."

Little \fhite Church

In a coign of the great Sierra, There nestlcd a little town, With fragrant forests about it And green hills smiling down; And an armory was builded, Whcn war divided the land, For the loyal men of thc Union Guard Had taken a definite stand.

The sturdy structure echoed To the sound of marching feet, The clarion notes of a bugle And a war drum's rhythmic beat; But when the battles were ended, With infinite love and care, They made of the armory building, A temple of faith and of Prayer.

The tides of time have touched it, But gently in their flow, It has faced the fire fiend's menace And borne the weight of snow; But today it stands unshaken, In the heart of the little town, With fragrant forests about it And green hills smiling down.

Within its sacred portals, All sounds of dissention cease' For the faithful walk together In the pleasant Paths of Peace; And the Little White Church is a symbol Of the TemPle of Life to be, When men shall live as brothers In a world that is safe and free.

-Adeline Merriam Conner.

(On November 20 the Native Daughters of the Golden West rvith fitting ceremonies placed a plaque on the historic church of Saint Columcelle at Birchville' Mrs' Conner was requested to 'ivrite a poem for the occasion, and Fred Conner read the poem at the ceremonies.)

New Yeqr's Morn

Good Morning, my bright international mate, My outetanding genius in problems of state, I trugt all is clear in that wonderful mind, Which last night remodeled the whole of mankind.

Yortr handling of China, the Ruhr, Palestine, And China, and Greece-it was masterly-fineYou're sure to be named as "The Man of the Year," Here'g four or five aspirins-swallow them, dear.

Awake my fine songster; it's well on toward noon, All morning I've waited, just hoping you'd croon A measure from "Chloe" or "Deep Rolling Sea," Which last night you warbled till half after three.

You wakened the neighbors, you tripped on the mat, And one of your props was your hostess's hat; I'm sure she will want you again for tonightThe life of the party whenever you're tight.

Arise, my sweet Prince, but be careful, don't skid, Arise and consider the things that you did; The uprooted garden, the splintered garage, It sounded just like an old-fashioned barrage.

Go call on your hostess-and carry a check; I think if you signed it just "Pain in the neck" The bank will okay it-t'would be just like youThe clown rvent berserk twixt the dawn and the dew.

So drink up that seltzer, you chattering drone, It's said to be good for a splintering dome. I wish I was Sandow, how far I would throw you ! For the next thirty days please pretend f don't know you.

Envoi: My juvenile jackass-my dim-witted dufferYou say you feel awful? Well dawgonya-suffer!

How It Sounds To Him

"Did you ever hear anything quite so wonderful?" cried out sixteen year old Daisy Mae, at the end of a radio program that featured a trumPet.

"No," said her father, "I never did. Although I heard something near it. ft was a collision between a truck load of empty milk cans and a freight car filled with live ducks."

Associctes

Remember, pure gold is not spoiled by associates. It can be refined to the same 24 carats of perfection, whatever its origin. All that is necessary is to rid the gold of its associates that are not gold.

Compensation

When my luck seems all out, And I'm down in the mouth, Whcn I'm stuck in thc North And I want to go South, When the world secms a blank And there's no one I love, And it seems even God's Not in heaven above; I've a cure for my grouch And it works like a shot, I just think of the things I am glad I am not: A bird in a cage, A fish in a bowl, A pig in a pen, A fox in a hole, A bear in a pit, A wolf in a trap, A fowl on a spit, A rug on a lap, A horse in a stable, A cow in a shed, A plate on a table, A sheet on a bed, A case on a pillow, A bell on a door, A branch on a willow. A mat on a floor, When I think of the hundreds Of things I might be, f get down on my knees, And thank God that I'm me. Then my blues disappear, When I think what I've got,' And soon I've forgotten The things f have not.

-Elsie Janis.

The late President Frances Madero, of Mrexico, was a small man, and somewhat sensitive about it' Once when he was about to be photographed with his cabinet, Abraham Gonzales, Secretary of State, was required to stand by him.

Madero lifted his eyes to' the face of the tall Gonzales and, observing his great height, r'emarked: "I feel that my size will not show to advantage unless we are seated."

"Your Excellency," said Gonzales, "if you could only stand on your wisdom you would dwarf us all."

"Well said," replied Madero, with a smile, t'provided you did not stand on your courtesy at the same time'"-Adrian Anderson.
