The Glory of Woshington

George William Curtis wrote concerning George Washington:

"To lead a people in revolution, wisely and successfully, without ambition and without crime, demands indeed lofty genius and unbending virtue. But to build their state amid the angry confict of passion and prejudice, to peacefully inaugurate a complete and satisfactory government, this is F.., _ the very grehtest service that a man can render to manl,' kind. This is also the glory of Washington.

, "\,Vith the sure sagacity of a leader of men, he selected at once for the three highest stations, the three chief Americans. Hamilton was the head, Jefferson was the heart, and John Hay the conscience of his administration. Washington's just and serene ascendancy was the lambent fame in which these beneficent powers were fused; and nothing else than that asgendancy could have ridden the whirlwind, and directed the storm that burst about him. Party spirit blazed into fury. John Hay was hung in effigy; Hamilton was stoned; insurrection raised its head in the West. Washington himself was denounced but the great soul was undismayed.

"Without a beacon, without a chart, but with unwavering eye and steady hand, he guided his country safe through darkness and through storm. He held his steadfast way like the sun across the firmament, giving life and health and strength to the new nation. And, upon a searching survey of his administration, there is no great act which his country would annul; no word uttered, no line written, no deed done by him which justice would reverse or wisdom deplore."

Coreless

See for Themselves

The story goes that at a famous army training center, they installed a lot of big mirrors near the parade grounds so that the marching rookies could see themselves go by. And the big sergeant just stood there and smiled as they did Squads Right in front of the mirrors, and frequently remarked:

"Now you big apes, see for yourself."

Whor ro Edf

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, eminent food authority, said: "Simple,.wholesome wheatbread and porridge, an ibundance of fruit in season, succulent vegetables-particularly the potato, spinach and asparagus, with a generous supply of pure, fresh, clean, tuberculin-tested milk, will give the citizen a diet that is wholesome, nutritious and full of vitamins. To this may be added a moderate supply of good meat and eggs. Let me prescribe the diet of the country, and I care not who makes the laws."

Wrong Store

A woman returned a smart pair of shoes to the exclusive shop where she hid bought them, declaring she simply could not walk in them.

"Madam," said the clerk, looking down his nose, "People who have to walk do not shop here."

Intolerqnce

"This little globe," wrote Voltaire, "which is but a mere speck, travels through space with its fellows lost in immensity. Man, a creature about five feet tall, is certainly a tiny thing as compared to the universe. Yet one of these imperceptible beings declares to his neighbor: 'Hearken unto me. The God of all these worlds speaks with my voice. There are billions of .us wee ants upon this earth, but only my ant hole is preiious in God's sight. AU others are eternally damned by Him. Mine alone is blessed'."

A Good Trick

At a naval training station, a doctor was preparing to fingerprint a recruit. "Wash your hands," said the doctor. "Both of them?" asked the recruit. The Doc hesitated for a moment, then said: "No. Just one. f want to see how you do it."

Greot Memories

According to history, Cyrus could call every soldier in his vast army by name. Themistocles called by name every one of the thirty-thousand citizens of Athens. Laurez could recite from memory all the words of Saint Augustine. Scaliger is reported to have committed to memory in one month both the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer.

But Seneca, the great Roman philosopher, was probably .the best of all the memory experts. It is written that he could repeat two-thousand disconnected words after having heard them once, and in precisely the same order as given.

Brevity

An English cub reporter had been soundly lectured by the city editor for relating too many details rin his news stories, and,warned to be brief in the future. The next day he handed in this story:

"Shooting afrair last night. Sir Dwight Hopeless, a guest at Lady P,anmore's ball, complained of being depressed. He took a highball, his hat, his coat, his departure, no notice of his friends, a taxi, a pistol, and finally his life. Nice chap. Regrets and all that. "

CCDKC Tours Pickering Plont

The last regular 1958 meeting of the Central California Dry Kiln Club was held at the Pickering Lumber Company, Standard, California, November 7. Frank Payne, dry kiin superintendent, and Hank Abraham, res. mgr. of the host company, conducted the tour of sawmill, kilns, yard, dry sorting and storage, and of the re-manufacturing plant.

Of particular interest to the visiting kiln operators was the vertical piling of lumber for drying in the large battery of external-blower kilns. Also, this is one of the few remaining yards where lumber is piled by hand. The large piles with slope from front to back and forward pitch are according to good practice of many years standing.

After a fine lunch as guests of the Pickering Lumber Company, a technical meeting and a short business meeting were held.

In the absence of the regular offrcers, Paul Carlson of the Snider Lumber Products Company, Turlock, presided over the meeting. He introduced Frank Payne, who in turn introduced Frank Momyer, president and general manager of the Pickering Lumber Company; Mr. Abraham, and other members Dresent from both the Standard and the Tuolumne plants.

Dr. Eric Ellwood, in charge of lumber drying studies at the California Forest Products Laboratory, presented a very informative talk on "Air Circulation in Dry Kilns."

A motion was made by Wilbur Preston and seconded by J. F. McAlister that the next directory of the Club be issued to cover the years 1959 and 1960. The motion passed. A motion was mide by Frank Payne requesting the secretary to keep the membership informed of the plans for the program of the Wood Drying Section of the F.P.R.S. at their annual meeting, scheduled for June 29-July 3, 1959 in San Francisco. The motion was seconded by Joe Hughes and passed.

The next regular Kiln Club was to be lock, Jan. 9.

Tips on | 958 Census Forms:

The 1958 Census of Business forms (CB-52-l), required by law to be filed, are now being mailed to lumber dealers by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce. The Lumber Merchants Assn. of Northern California, San Francisco, has offered its

TOO MUCH!

The Federal government owns 700 substantial corporations,.19,900 small businesses of all kinds and many service organizations employing 2,323,947 civilian workers. These corporations lose about $10 billion per year but, instead of going out of business, they simply chalk up a deficit and continue to operate on tax money. Pay for the government's 2.3 million civilian employes in 1957 was $11 billion-equal to about one-third the total tax bill of all Federal individual income tax payers. That's a lot of employes, a lot of government, and an awful lot of taxes. \Are should tell our Consressmen it is too much of all three.-From the Bulletin of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn., Jan. 7, 1959.

members several valuable suggestions on the filing. These include :

(l) Where the form asks for either a dollar or a percentage figure, dealers should fill in their best estimates if records do not provide exact figures. (2) Question 13a of the form relates to type of business and merchandise lines; for Census purposes it is recommended that member-dealers check the block that reads "21l-Lumber Yard." The "21^2-Building Materials Dealer" is restricted to firms primarily engaged in retail sales of such material as brick and tile, cement, sand, gravel, etc.
