Our western forests grow more than trees. Modern lumbering, plywood and paper product industries also mean economic groMh and better living to the West. To move these products for building and furnishing homes and industries, dependable transportation is essential.

I think it is because of the times we are living in, and the threats that hang over the world. Vorld War I developed a million good stories that were heard in spitc of the cannons' roar, and read in spite of war headlines. World W'ar II did not develop half a dozen really good stories. all told.

Noticing th" hodg"-Joag" "f ,rui , *-r,," in this column, one of the queries I continually get is-"What do YOU read yourself?" The answer, o{ course, is, I read like I write. I read a mixture, an unholy mixture, you might say. My every day and every night reading is a made sort of hash ranging all the way from Bible to buncome, from bile to benevolence, {rom gall to godliness, from history to hysteria, from the heights of ancient history to the depths of modern slang. I draw the line at popular novels. Never read one, Too many of them and too few of me. I love history, philosophy, wit, humor. adventure rvhen well written, and particularly eloquence and oratory. I read and mix them all. I cordially despise fireside drama, and can't swallow a line of sob stuff.

As I read, I make notes, I write, re-write and-(whisper)-I steal, just as all writers since the dawn o{ time have done. Yes, that is one thing I have in r:ommon with rvriters. Vhat I like. I take!
