Electricity

"Electricity is something that starts-goodness knows where-and ends at the same place. It is one minute and 53 seconds faster than its nearest competitor-backyard gossip.

"Turned loose in Europe it will get to the United States five hours before it starts.

"Electricity is sometimes known as science gone qazy with the heat. If you can understand its maneuvers you can do anything with it except open a can of sardines at a picnic.

"Electricity was locked up in ignorance until Benjamin Franklin let it out with a passkey. Since then it has been pulling off more tricks than a pet monkey on a hundred feet of grapevine.

"Withit you can cook your dinner, curl hair, press trousers, blow up a battleship, run an automobile, signal Mars, start a conversation, or stop one permanently." -(Clipt.)

It Couldn't Be Done, But He Did lr

Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he, with a chuckle, replied, That maybe it couldn't, but he would be one Who wouldn't say so til he tried;

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin, On his face. If he worried, he hid it, He started to sing as he tackled the thing, That couldn't be done, and HE DID IT.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh you'll never do that; At least no one ever has done it."

But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it; With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or "quit it," He started to sing as he tackled the thing, That couldn't be done, AND HE, DID IT.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you; But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Then take off your coat and go to it, Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing, That couldn't be done, and YOU'LL DO IT!

Thot Wos Why

"Abie," asked a. friend, "for vy are you crying so? He vasn't no relative of yourn?"

"Sure he vasn'tr" said Abie, "dot's vy I'm crying."

A Bollcrd of Trees qnd the Mqster

Into the woods my Master went, 'Clean forespent, forespent.

Into the woods my Master came, Forespent with love and shame.

But the olives they were not blind to Him, The little grey leaves were kind to Him; The thorn-tree had a mind to Him

When into the woods He came.

Out of the woods my Master went, And He was well content.

Out of the woods my Master came, Content with death and shame.

When Death and Shame would woo Him last, From under the trees they drew Him last; 'Twas on a tree they slew Him-last

When out of the woods FIe came.

-Sidney Lanier.

Hotel Stqtistics

At an Indiana hotel this sign is on all the stationery and in every room:

"This hotel is equipped witti automatic sprinklers. Statistics show that loss of life has never occurred in a sprinklered building. In case of fire, you may get wet but not burned."

A witty guest composed the following prayer to fit the circumstances:

"Now I lay me down to sleep

Statistics guard my slumber deep. If I should die I'm not concerned I may get wet, but I won't get burned !"

Cqldor Lumber Go. Experimenting Wirh Philippine Mohogony Logs

An experiment in milling Philippine mahogany logs is being conducted by Caldor Lumber Company of Diamond Springs, Calif., Chalmers G. Price, general manager, announced. Approximately 6@,000 board feet of logs came to Caldor from Davao, Mindanoa, Philippine Islands, on the California Bear, a Pacific-Far East Line ship, to Port Stockton. From there, Price said, the logs were loaded in 70 railroad gondola cars for shipment to Diamond Springs, unloaded into the millpond, and manufactured into lumber in the sawmill. Lumber was put in yard to air dry for about two months, and then finished by kiln drying.

At present there is a good market for the lumber in the United States for interior finish, moulding, cabinet r,vork

R.ecord Rurql Orcnge Figure

Santa Ana, Calif.-Rural construction in Orange county continued last month to show a substantial increase over 1954, with the November figure bringing a gain of $25,727,039 over 1954's similar 11-months span. The November figure was $7,502,869, including $6,094,048 residential. The 1955 valuation to that date was $118,378,600, compared to $92,651,561 in the same 1954 period.

Do-lr-Yourself Ghristmqs Tree

From 7,000-8,000 trees were offered last month on a "choose and cut" basis at tree farms in Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, to families seeking a Christmas tree. The price was about $3 for a 4-6 foot tree, and most were Douglas fir, announced Prof. Woodbridge Met'calf of the UC Agricultural Service.

Donald J. Baker was named merchandising manager of Pabco Paint and Gypsum Products. Ife was formerly with a southern California pa.int manufacturer and partner in a Pasadena retail paint firm.

Mendocino county's lumber industry is experiencing its best year in history, and indications are that 1956 will exceed 1955 in lumber production, said Paul Sutterley, secretary of the Ukiah Chamber of Commerce, recently.

and furniture, Price pointed out. Most of the lumber now imported comes from Japan, where it is produced from logs shipped from the Philippines.

"If the experiment proves successful for Caldor, the program u'ill probably be expanded for 1956 in an effort to keep some industry alive at the Caldor plant," Price said.

For the experiment, Caldor will use its regular equipment; revisions in the mechanical setup may be made if the project is successful.

All logs will be clear and are expected to average about 33 inches in diameter. In Philippine logging, the felled trees are topped at the first limb and only the clear logs shipped for lumber manufacture.

At Caldor, the lumber will be sawn to 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and. 8/4. It will be resawn elservhere for specific uses.
