Mony SoGol R.etoil Yords Closed for 4-Dqy Holidoy Periods

' \.Vhile there rn'as no uniform closing industry practice, all of the retail lumberyards in some Southern California communities closed for a 4-day holiday period over Christmas. Although some dealers indicated they would operate until noon, Dec.24, it appears that most of the retailers took the general 4-day holiday. Still others, especially those catering to the do-it-yourself trade, operated the full day before Christmas.

Some lumber dealers .rvondered if they might close their yards the day before Christmas and have their employes 'lvork the following Saturday at their straight-time rate. The union contracts rvill not permit this, reported Orrie W. Hamilton in a recent bulletin to Southern California Retail Lumbei Association members. Saturday is an overtime day and must be treated as such irrespective of how ferv hours the employee had previously worked during the work week.

Some dealers said they rvere going to close and pay their hourly employes for all day, the Monday before Christmas, but this was the exception. This pay they intended to give in lieu of a Christmas present. Those who closed at noon said they would include the afternoon pay as a Christmas bonus, rvhile others were not decided what to do about the holiday.

' On the day'before Nerv Year's, most of the dealers were getting readv to take inventory or were actually taking it, 'so this date did not create as much of a problem in the retail lumber field. By and large, however, a majority of the yards also took the 4-day holiday over the New Year's weekend.

Union Lumber Gompony Now Recldy Wirh Mixed-Cor Shipments for More Deqler Sqles Flexibiliry

Union Lumber Corppany, producers of Noyo brand redwood, has completed the revamping of its dry shed facilities to facilitate mixed-car shipments at its mills at Fort Bragg, California. According to Sherman A. Bish,op, vicepresident in charge of sales, the step was taken to meet the increasing demand by retail dealers for mixed.car shipments of the various Union Lumber Company products. A complete stock of redwood mouldings, pickets, gutter, grounds, Log Cabin siding, rustics, wide boards, finish and sidings in all grades will be made readily available for mixed-car shipments.

"ft is our feeling," Bishop stated, "that this augmented mixed-car service will enable more dealers to handle every grade of redwood from V. G. Siding down to Merch, which in turn will provide greater flexibility in dealer sales."

Nopoleon

His dispatches were filled with the words: Success, Riches, Glory, Fame-these are the talismanic words of Napoleon, and yet there is in all the tragic story of man, no sadder failure. Even in the days of his power he was called "The Great lJnloved." Though master of the world, save only one little island lying off in the fog of the North Atlantic-"that wart on the nose of Europe" as he persisted in calling England-though master of the world, yet of him his friends could only affirm: "Napoleon, grand, gloomy, and peculiar,. sits upon his throne, a sceptered hermit, wrapped in the solitude of his own ambition'"

The Greqt Moment

There is no moment like the present' The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards; they will be dissipa.ted, lost, and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence.

That shining place of dreams, Where care and sorrow trouble not, Where morning casts its beams

Forever down on friendly lands, Where children play in happy bands?

So far it seems to those who toil

In brutal haunts of greed;

So far to those who strive and sweat

In poverty and need;

And yet their eyes oft look uPon, The shining heights of Avalon. '

For faith can build a road that leads From penury and night, And hope can glimpse the palaces Of fairy realms of light,

And love can find-faf6 q4nnef falWhere Avalon and beauty are.
