***

A giant of astounding proportions has entered into the building industry:

***

It is a thing of profound interest to every man in the retail lumber and building material business in this country. ***

One of the big men in the air conditioning industry predicts that within a comparatively few years this will become a five billion dollar industry. ***

And, as the man who furnishes the materials that go to construct the homes and other buildings which beckon the air cooling man to a mighty realm of opportunity, the Itrmber merchant is truly a most interested party. ***

Let us relate a few pertinent facts concerning this modern giant-air conditioning. And let the lumber industry "awake your senses that you may the better judge," how it may intelligently and usefully profit by this effort to promote the comfort of mankind. ***

There are forty million homes in the United States. Of these less than one-half of one ler cent have any air conditioning. A great rush is on right now to invade that nearly forty million homes, and install in them some sort of air cooling. ***

Authorities have compared the present surge into the room cooler business to the early days of the automobile industry. Room cooling equipment is attracting the most attention at present. But larger concerns in the air conditioning industry are seeing tremendous possibilities in making and selling combination heating and cooling units to provide all year air control for whole houses. ***

The Wall Street Journal furnishes many interesting facts and figures concerning air conditioning. Five years ago only 76,500 room cooling units were made and sold. Production in 1951 was 237,500, and in 1952 it was 341,000. ***

Competent authorities in the business estimate that the demand this year for yearground air conditioning in entire houses will multiply that of. 1952, when only about 10,000 out of the more than a million new homes buih, were entirely air conditioned. Many of the well known

manufacturers of furnaces are now turning out combination heating and cooling units.

t+r;

What everyone is looking for is air conditioning equip ment that will fit into tte modest family budget, both as to cost, installation, and opcrating erpense. Few home ow[crs . would forego the pleasure of air conditioning that they could afford.

*tt:

It is reported that between sirty and seventy conccrns in the country will bc out in the field marketing roon coolers ttris year, which is about three times as Eantz as last year.

***

General Electric dropped out of the hcavy industrial air conditioning business a year ago, and now concentrates on equipment for the residential market. :l**

It is reported that a number of the l,arger makers of prefabricated homes will offer air conditioned houses this year for the first time.

***

The National Association of Home Builders rcports that of the hundreds of prominent home builders in the nation whom it surveyed, more than forty per cent will ofier air conditioned homes this year.

***

The rush to air cool homes is fully equallcd by that in the direction of small stores and other business buildings. The day is here when the small business is almost obliged to use air conditioning. The public demands it. Sweaty brows and public sales no longer jibe.

The Houston Chamber of Comr-erce claims ttat Houston is the most air conditioned city in thc Unitcd States, with about 158,000 tons of air conditioning equipmcnt in service there. Room cooling equipment has been going into Houston at the rate of more than ten ttousand a year: Thirty Houston churches are now air conditioned*t:i

Air conditioning is spreading faster, naturally, in the South and Southwest than in the rest of ttre nation, although the big cities of the North are making gteat strides along that line. As you drivc along the highways in the Southwest today, nearly evcry waysidc cating place bears the sign: "Air Conditioned." And in the citieq public places of any sort not air conditioned could not stay in business.

"ffome, home, sweet, sweet home, Be it ever so humble, there's no place Like (an air conditioned) home."

AIR CONDITIONING.

The question naturally arises, how are the retail lumber and building material merchants .going to get in on this vast new line of business so closely allied with their own? They wodld like to, and it seems fair that they should. ***

Ways and means will no doubt be found for letting the building materialman in on this new tide of business. It is a problem that the various associations of retail lumber merchants might well be giving much attention to. No doubt the sale of room units for air cooling could be handled by the lumbermen like many other sidelines. ***

The day may be at hand when the slogan "A home that's worth having, is worth cooling," will become an accepted fact. With forty million uncooled houses as a sales reser-

voir to work on, tte great new drive for air conditioning has a large mark to shoot at. '***

The advantages that come witb air conditioning tohomcr, offices, storea and shops, and cvery sort of pl,ace wbcrc people live and wor\ need hardly bc discussed They are self evident. They come in the sbape of comfort, hcaltb, luxur5r, and general satisfaction That countlcre millions of buildings will bc air conditioned in the next very few years, is a mortd cinch. ***

Nobody has to scll the idea of air conditioning. You simply have to scll the rnatter of equipmen! cost, ctc. Where there is air conditioning, no longer docs a nan livc "by the sweat of his brow." His swcatin! da5/s are 9ver.

Big Lumber Use in Teco Trussed Calaveras Cirnvention Herrs About Rafters lndicated 6y Home Builders Bank of America'r Greatness

Washington-Prospective use of over 17 million feet of lumber in constructing Teco trussed rafters was revealed by builders attending the recent National Association of Home Builders convention in Chicago, according to Alden K. Smith, sales manager of Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Mr. Smith was in charge of the company's exhibit and demonstration that brought record-breaking inquiries.

"The home builders' mounting interest in clear-span roof construction, and particularly in the simple and economical Teco trussed rafter," said Mr. Smith, "s'as indicated by the increase in specific inquiries made at the 1953 NAHB show as compared with a year ago.

"This year," he pointed out, "reguests for data and other assistance on the use of Teco trussed rafters were made by builders planning a conservatively estimated total of over 16,000 housing units in 46 jobs. Last year, such specific requests at the Teco booth involved 607 housing units in seven jobs. In addition to the housing jobs, many of this year's inquiries concerned the use of timber trusses in schools, churches, warehouses, garages and other types of buildings for which they are economically adaptable."

A feature of the convention's how-to-do-it show rvas the fabrication and assembly of a Z4-foot span Teco trussed rafter on the stage in the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Conrad Hilton. More than 2,000 builders watched this unusual demonstration that required only 26 minutes from the lumber pile to the finished product.

The Teco demonstration was the first of its kind ever attempted at a NAHB meeting. It succeeded in providing the audience of builders with full evidence of the ease and speed with which Teco trussed rafters, using wedge-fit ring connectors in conforming grooves, can be constructed.

During the demonstration, Mr. Smith described the trussed iafter's versatility and cited the attendant economies that have resulted in its being used in more than 125,000 dwelling units throughout the nation.

As a result of Teco's first how-to-do-it demonstration, requests for repeat showings have been received from local home builders organizations.

Frank Dana, Vice President and Supervisor of Operations for the Bank of America, told Calaveras Cement Company salesmen at their biannual meeting in the Palace Hotel. San Francisco, that the business philosophy which helped make his bank the largest in the world can be applied easily and successfully to other. concerns as well.

"IJnder the leadership of A. P. Giannini, the banking business u'as humanized," Dana said. "Whereas people once entered a bank in trepidation and rvith hat in hand, they are greeted today as friends. They no longer are numbed by the coldness of the marble or the glassy eye of teller and credit man.

"The old order has been reversed. Instead of making people come to the bank, the bank has gone to the people. It has made its services easy to obtain by establishing branches in convenient locations. It has streamlined its credit and savings plans to meet modern need. It has concentrated on doing the things the public rvants in a rvay the public likes.

"To be successful, any business concern must first of all fill.a legitimate public need. It must present its wares in convenient, attractive form. But the real secret of its success inevitably rvill lie in the conbtructive attitude of its management and staff.

"A company should do things not for rvhat it expects to get out of them, but because of a genuine desire to perform the best possible service for the pay it receives. If proper attention is given to the human element, the profit element s'ill tike care of itself."

Dana said the Bank of America norv has 547 branches and. 37 military facilities at home and abroad. The bank began 1953 with nearly two and a half million loans outstanding, including 300,000 real estate loans- The bank has more than five million California deposit xqssunf5almost one for every trvo persons in the state.

The meeting was presided over by Mel J. London, general sales manager of Calaveras Cement Company. Other speakers included William Wallace Mein, Jr., Calaveras president, and H. C. "Pat" Maginn, executive vice-president.

More About Wage and Salary

Control Removil

The order that terminated wage and salary controls by the federal government, was Executive Order No. 1O434, effective February 6.

Suspended weri all wage and salary regulations and orders issued or administered by the Wage Stabiliation Board, the Salary Stabilization Board, etc. Adjustments irr compensation (including retroactive adjustments) propbsed in petitions filed by employers, or by employers and unions jointly, and still pending before any of these agencies, may now be placed in effect. Provisions are made in the executive order for continued authority to enforce penalties for past violations of these orders and regulations, but, henceforth compensation may be adjusted without the restraints imposed by controls.

The executive order does NOT rvipe out violatiohs committed while the stabilization program was in eSect. Neither does it rescind modificaticins or denials of adjustment which were the subject of petitions ruled on by administrative agencies during the life of the progr:tm. However, proposed adjustments sought in pending applica. tions may be made retroactive to the proposed dates. The order also sanctions adjustments made in union contracts which were to have been put into effect upon official approval.

Parties whose applications were pending at the time controls were removed will be notified by the administrative agencies that proposed adjustments m?y be placed in effect without agency approval.

How Forest Fires Affect thc Economic and Recreational Wealth of the Redwood Region

(This is the prize winning essay submitted by Chatles Andrain of Fortuna Union High School in the Redu'ood Region Conservation Council's high school essay contest. Over 400 students within the Redrvood Region submitted essays).

For over two thousand years I have stood in this forest, towering hundreds of feet in the air. I am a redwood tree, and people have named me Sequoia Sempervirens. To many I resemble a giant statue, even taller than the majestic Statue of Liberty. From my lofty perch I see a great many things that go on. Stretching far belov'' me is a beautiful and plentiful land, covered with all shades of green grass, rainborv colored lupine and iris, fragrant three-petaled trillium, azalea and rhododendron, tall ferns, and other giant sequoias like myself. I can see that the redwood area depends on me. Not only do I provide a livelihood for thousands of people, but I am somethi.ng they all ban enjoy.

Even though my name means "always living," I knorv that my time is soon coming. I like to think about the many things that will happen to'me. I will meet many types and classes of people-people from nearby states and counties who have moved to the redwood region; young men from high schools and colleges who find a good job waiting for them in the summer; and the older folks who have worked in the redwoods all their lives. I will be carried to a busy sawmill. There men and machines will make me into many different sizes and shapes. Afterwards at the planing mill, my skin will be made smooth and velvety. From the planing mill I could be sent to thousands of places, to be manufactured into a great ntlmber of things. I could become a beautiful redu'ood house, or some of the furniture in that house. I might be made into a pencil or a piece of paper and help a child do his work in one of the modern schools of the redwood region. .f can even see myself as a "unique one-log house." If that sounds strange, I even know of cases where the entire church was built from a single redu'ood tree. Science has developed wonderful new products from wood. Perhaps you will see me as the pretty rayon dress that will make Janie so popular at the next school dance. Many pliistics, such as the covering on your table, are produced from redwood trees. But more than anything else, I dream that some part of me will become a redwood burl vase. Delicate and skilled hands will magically form me into an article of lasting beauty. I will appear in one of the many gift shops along the Redwood Highway. I will get to see the whole world, for many tourists traveling through the redwoods will buy me and take me home with them. So many different useful and beautiful products can be made from a single redwood tree that many times I am called "a living factory." Not only will I benefit thd people who will have a part in creating many useful wood products, but I will also profit those who will sell me all along the scenic route of the redwoods.

I had been thinking so much about the good I would

bring to people who live in the redwoods, that I had not noticed the campers below me. I can tell that they have had a wonderful time. They are getting ready to leave now.

As I rvatch them packing, I wish that I could speak their language. "Be careful to put out that campfire! No, no you have only splashed a little water on it. Don't you see that a few of those embers are still burning? I-ook again ! I\fy life and others near me are at stake."

The only response is'that of the car's motor. There is a soft purr, gradually getting fainter; then there is only the sound of the crackling embers.

As if in a trance, I stare into the hot coals of the burning campfire. I see in those embers the pleasure I have brought to the people of the redwood area. I remember those who loved the thrill of playing in the redwoods during all seasons of the year. In the sprinS$ime, peop[e came to pick the fragrant wildflorvers, and to listen to the sounds of the birds and animals. Many of these people photographed the beauty of the redwoods when everything was so fresh and green. During the summer, people loved to camp amidst the calm and peaceful serenity of the tall redwoods. Boy Scouts took long hikes, exploring and observing the plant and animal life. fn the fall, the deer began to feel uneasy. They knew that the hunters would soon start to the forest. As winter approached, the ground and the trees were often covered with a blanket of white. I remember horv I had shivered. Faint figures whizzing past me on their skiis had not made me feel any warmer. Each year it made my heart sing to know that I brought so much happiness to those who like to play in the redu'oods.

That dreadful cracking noise is becoming louder and louder. Even norv the birds and animals are racing to escape the fire's burning fangs, but the trees cannot move. All we can do is wait. I look over towards my neigtboring sequoias. These giants are having their dreams, too. Theirs, like mine, are disappearing in a great cloud of smoke. The fire rvill soon be out of control. It will not be long before the firefighters are here. It is too late to save me, l>ut others rvill be rescued.

A year has gone by since the great fire. All tte excitement has died down, and there is a deathly quiet. The land is desolate. Overhead a tiny hummingbird pauses in flight. and looks down. ft doesn't recognize me, for no longer am I a proud and beautiful redwood. All that remains is a charred black skeleton.

Low Cogt Ait Conditioning To Hit Mass Market in 1953 NAHB Survey Discloceg

Chicago-Low cost home air conditioning for the average American family will hit the housing market in a big way this year, a survey of the country's leading builders has disclosed.

Findings of the survey. were made public by the National Assobiation of Home Builders at the NAHB's annual convention-exposition here.

The survey showed that year-round, indoor weather control, corirbining winter heating with air conditioning for the hot summer days, will be a major feature in thousands of medium-priced homes to be built throughout the United States in 1953.

Ol 255 prominent builders covered by the NAHB survey' 104, or almost 40 per cent, said they will offer air conditioned homes to the buying public this year. Nine others indicated they would do so if the system did not add too much to the cost of the house'

Those reflies came from home builders in -30 states extending from New England to Florida and from the Atlantic seaboard to the West Coast.

A dozen of the 141 "No air conditioning"' replies game from Washington, Oregon and Southern California builders who said their part of the country is "air conditioped by Nature" and needs no artificial lveather making for the home.

The survey was an outgrowth of a recent meeting between NAHB officials and representatives of the country's leading air conditioning manufacturers. The manufacturers said they were prepared to mass produce systems this yepr for use in homes selling for $15,000 and under.

Home air conditioning already is off to a flying start iir Texas and other parts of the Southwest, where some builders have introduced it within the past year in housing priced as low as $10,500. Until nowi however, it has been strictly a luxury item in most other areas.

The NAHB survey showed that air conditioned homes will be ofiered this year to average income families in such northern cities as Bufialo, Rochester and Elmira, N. Y., Hartford, Conn., Chicago, Flint, Mich., Minneapolis, and Portland, Ore.

Seventeen builders said they would limit air conditioning to their higher-priced homes, generally above $20,000, or would include it only as an "optional" feature for which the buyer would have to PaY extra.

The overwhelming majority, however, plan to offer the extra convenience and comfort of built-in air conditioning as standard equipment in their middle-priced housing.

One Bronx, N. Y., builder said he will air condition a low priced housing project he is erecting this year. A Jacksonville, Fla., builder said he plans to do the same thing in single family houses priced as-low as $10,000, and another in Albuquerque, N. M., said he is installing evaporative air conditioning systems in homes selling for as little 4s $7,600.

Builders in San Antonio, Tex., Oklahoma City, and Louisville, Ky., reported plans to air condition up to half

the houses they erect this year. The Tulsa, Okla., Home Builders Association said that about 1,5(X) air conditioned homes priced between $14,5m and $18,5(X) are planned for that area this year.

Other representative areas in which 1953 home buyers rvill be offered built-in air conditioning at modest prices include Long Island, N.Y., Providence, R.f., Baltimore, Md., Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pa., Columbus, Akron, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio, Lincoln, Nebr., Knoxville, Mem-' phis and Chattanooga, Tenn., Sioux City and Des Moines, Ia., South Bend and India{rapolis, Ind., Wichita, Kans., St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., and Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, Texas.

New Plywood Sales to Department Stores

Here's an idea for possible neu. pl,r-u'ood saies to department stores. Xlotion pictrrre companies har-e developed a techniciue for reusing plyl'oocl flats in their sets that can cut handling and display' costs in setting up u'indr.lu- backgronr.rds painted in solid colors or <lesigns.

This treatment makes it possible for a displrrr- clepartment to use background panels over and oler again. It means that the old surface can be removed and the pancl prepared for repainting in nen' clisplar.s l'ith a minimum of labor.

I3oth plastic surfaced and stanclard grades of Douglas fir plyu'ood are being used in this application. Columbia Pictures Corp., for exar.npie uses both tl'pes for the reusable flats in the sets on "Anyone But You" starring Jane \\r1-man.

A typical flat is 3/s" plasttc-surfaced fir ph-u-ood nailed to a light lumber frameu'ork. The standard flat is 6' x 12'. The crerv keeps 6" t'idths of pl1'n'ood in stock to build up the flat to other sizes u'here necessAr\'. In displar- u-ork, the standard sized 4'x 8'panel rvould probablv prove satisfactory rvith small units being kept on hand to add to the size. Other standard sizes adaptable to an existing store setup could be developed by any dispial- department.

When the flat for a display has been set up, the plvn'ood surface shouid first be shellacked. Next. the joir.rts are flushed rvith plaster to achieve a good, smooth, crack-iree

Oppottunity Knocks But Once

"Opportunity knocks but once," said the old time sage ; thereby proving that he WAS old-timey.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune," said Bill Shakespeare. And he proceeded further to declare that the man who overlooked that critical and pregnant opportunity would be a "has-been" from then on.

As a writer we've got our hat off to Bill. He was, is, and probably will always be, in a class by himself literarily (if there is such a word). And it may be that his philosophy as above quoted was filled with wisdom as applied to HIS times. Things moved mighty slow in Bill's day. Things were different. That was long before the day of wireless, radio, atom bombs, and jet planes.

But that line of thought, if followed nowadays, would never get a man into the big league; or even the minors. Bill didn't know that opportunity is just a fancy name for hard work. and that the chance to work hard and get somewhere is like the poor; it is always with us.

failures that have been brought about by taking his opportunity advice tco seriousiy, he would not only turn over in his grave-as perplexed departeds are alleged to dobut he would likewise turn a few handsprings.

For the Devil never handed a bigger lie to keep men from getting somewhere than old Bill Shakespeare's "Opportunity" philosophy. We have long been under the impression that the Devil's printing presses have been continually and tirelessly busy since Shakespeare died, reprinting that line of "Opportunity" bunk for general distribution and follow-up service on this old earth; and that he had the whole dad-blamed line-up of human creation on his mailing list.

To the man who can think and work and has a burning and insatiable desire to do both, that "tide which taken at the flood leads on to fortune," is flooding constantly, has never ebbed. and never will.

This is the third Redwood plywood product created since 1949 by M and M Wood Working Company, makers of Malarkey plywoods and doors, and .rvill be available nationally at wholesale ayrd retail levels.

Two supervising Hyster Company engineers have been promoted, it was announced by Al Zwald, chief engineer. Milton Smith has been named engineer of the company's new plant at Nijmegen, Holland. Smith formerly was head of the lift truck design engineering department, with headquarters at the Portland plant. He sailed December 13 from New York to take over his new duties. Smith will be replaced by Paul Brainard, who formerly headed up the standards division.

Brainard has been with Hyster since 1940 and was assistant supervisor in the tractor equipment division for several years. He is a graduate of Oregon State College.

Shadowood is made in two styles, clear Redwood and Knotty Redwood V-grooved on 6, 8 and lO-inch centers respectively across the width of the panel to look like random planking. Knots do not exceed lf-inches in diameter.

Shadowood is a textured surface Redwood plywood from which a large part of the soft portion of the grain has been brushed.

Canadian Construction Hitr 4'Billion

"The Canadian construction industry is norv, for the first time, a $,1-'billion-a-year industry," Mr. P. G. Wilmut, of Montrgal, president of the Canadian Construction Association, declared .in his annual report to members of the C.C.A. at their 35th general meeting recently held in Montreal.

"The capacity of our industry," Mr. \Vilmut continued, "has so expanded during the past dozen years that even those t'ith it do not appreciate its new significance in the econorny-such facts,-for eiample, that it involves more rvork than that performed by those engaged in agriculture, forestry or, by a large'margin. mining; that it gives employment on and ofi site, to about 16 per cent of our work force and that more than one out of every six dollars spent for end products and service is spent on construction.

"Builders of Canada" \

"Our 'role as the Builders of Canada in the physical sense is a unique and thrilling privilege. Currently, each person directly employed in the construction industry is adding through his rvork, on the average, roughly $10,000.00 of capital assets per year as his share in 1t1g S$llding of housesand highrvays, hospitals and high schools, pipelines and pos'er plants, dams and defence projects, places of rvork and worship. Felv Canadians can have as great a feeling of personal particiilation in the development of our country as do construction men," the president said.

Getting Government Out of Busincgs

Aiming to get the government out of business to the greatest degree possible and practicable, is the import of House Resolution No. 12, intro'duced in the House by Rep. Frederic R. Coudert, Jr., of New York. It is a matter in which every American businessman will be directly interested. This resolution would authorize Congress to "con-

duct a full and complete inquiry into all phases of the comm-ercial, and proprietary activities and .functions of the Government of the United States, and to recommend to the Congress methods deemed by the committee to be feasible to effect the transfer of any or all such activities, functions, properties, to citizens of the United States."

What he wants to do is start things rolling toward that highly desired condition in which the United States Government will get out of business, almost all of the business in which it is now engaged, and stay out. There are some few things the government has done and is doing in the line of helping business which are commendable and practical and should be retained for the present at least; but the huge majority of government invasions of business are wrong; wrong in principle, and wrong in operation.

In nine out of every ten cases, when the government goes into a business,. it louses up that business. There probably never was a case where business operated by the

An Editorial

government was half as well operatcd as it could be by private enterprise. From the monstf,osity known as RFC down to scores of small fields, government should get out of business as quickly as possible. The committee suggested by Congressman Coudert might make a fne start in the right direction, by narning which of tte twcnty seven billion dollars worth of business owned and op erated by the government, should be returned to private ownership and operation.

There are probably sone erceptionr to the rule, the rule is, government should gct out of busineas, stay out.

A tour of the gigantic exposition of building materials and home equipment in the Conrad Hilton Hotel uncovered an avalanche of ideas designed to satisfy every need, taste and pocketbook of builders and prospective home buyers alike.

Here are just a few of the scores of interesting developments presented by the nearly 250 major manufacturers whose products were displayed.

Starting at the bottom-new floor coverings are much in evidence. One all-purpose tile, available in a variety of colors and patterns, can be installed without the use of adhesives or tools of any kind. An outstanding feature of this tile is that it can be taken up-moved from room to room or to another home, thus making it a permanent investment. Suitable for installation in any room of the home, it can even be used in below-grade areas rvhere moisture is excessive.

For installation directly over 'concrete subfloors, there is a nerv hardwood oak flooring which requires no membrane-waterproofing betrveen the.slab and floor. For added convenience, it is pre-finished at the factory.

A new plastic floor tile has a finish that simulates natural oak parquet flooring.

For dressing up the outside of the home, there is an asbestos-cement material for exterior siding. It comes in large sheets with an attractive random-ribbed pattern in a variety of colors. For either interior or exterior application, there is a new plastic-faced plywood that is engineered for painting. The material can be bent, thus adding to its utility.

For unusual decorating effects, a paint manufacturer shorved the nearest thing to polka dot paint yet developed.A single coat, applied with a spray gun, can achieve a practically unlimited variety of multi-colored patterns on interior rvalls.

TV is in the picture, too, in the form of special lead-in

flush sockets for use in new construction. The pacftage includes flush socket, face plate, mating plug and hardware for mounting the socket in any type rvall. A new weatherproof lead-in bushing is especially designed for UHF cable. Use of the special fixtures is said to improve TV reception.

A dozen pre-fabricated home manufacturers shorved their latest home designs. The nerv designs represent a fresh approach to this type home and are indistinguishable from conventionally built homes. Prefabs are available with a host of modern features, including completely equipped kitchens and laundrv rooms, picture windows, expandable rooms, and even air conditioning. Trvo prefab manufacturers erected full size homes adjacent to the Conrad Hilton Hotel, the convention headquarters.

Giving a ne\r' slant to the prefab picture is a manufacturer s'ho s'ill furnish prebuilt sections for any house plan.

Colored plumbing fixtures are being popularized to such an extent that they are being used even in low cost homes. Several manufacturers shorved lines of attractively cotored fixtures especially designed for economy class homes.

Also for the bathroom, one manufacturer has developed a nel\' srveatless rvatelcloset tank. Another is showing a silent flush valve for rvater closets. More on the glamour side is a new streamlined bathroom cabinet rvith twin sliding mirrored doors, and a nerv combination vanity, lavatory, medicine cabinet and linen closet. For a new look in bathroom walls, there is a metal tile that comes in jumbo size 8-l inch squares.

Builders have a rvide selection of nerv rvindow types and materials from rvhich to choose. Aluminum rvindorvs are gaining fast in popularity. Horizontal designs, in both casement and sliding types, lvere on display. Sliding windorvs that cover an entire s'all from floor to ceiling are available. Nearlv every rvindorr manufacturer has incorporatid nerv features to improve insulating qualities, permit faster installation and make maintenance easier. Removable sections and fingertip ventilation control are other features being stressed. Arvning type rvindos's, louvered rvindorrs and jalousies are making a strong bid for nations'ide popularity.

Ben Frcmklin's Sell-Written Epitcrph

Following is the epitaph on Benjamin Franklin, written by that great man himself :

"The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer, (like the 'cover of an old book, its contents torn out, and stripped of its lettering and gilding), lies here food for worms. Yet the work itself shdl not be lost, for it will (as he believes) appear once more in a new edition, corrected and amended by The Author."

When lt's Three lo Two

You may go strong with a wicked curve, And a fast one shooting throug\ But I won't say till I know your nenrc, That the chances are you'll do.

You may be great with a change of pace, But I'll watch how you tet b5r, When it's tAree to two, and ttree on basc, And you let the last one fy.

A Red Red Rose (By

Robert Burns)

O my luve's like a -red, red rose That's newly sprung in June; O my luve's like the melody, That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair thou art, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I, And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a'the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas Bant drI, my dear, And the rocks melt, wi' the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve, And fare thee weel, a while ! And I will come again, my luve, Though it were ten thousand mil'e.

His Neck Size

A colored woman went to buy a collar for her husband.

"What size?" asked the clerk.

"f done forgot," she said, "but I can jus' manage to reach round his throat wif my bofe han's."

Mcrcus Aurelius Scrid:

In the mind of him who is pure and good will be found neither coiruption nor defilement nor any malignant trait. Unlike the actor who leaves the stage before his part is' played, the life of such a man is complete whenever death may come. He is neither cowardly nor presuming; not enslaved to life nor indifferent to its duties; and in him is found nothing worthy of condemnation nor that which putteth to shame.

Test by a trid how excellent is the life of a good mana man who rejoices at the portion given him in the universal lot and abides therein content; just in all his ways and kindly miaded toward all men. This is moral perfection: to live each day as thcmgh it were the last; to be tranquil, sincere, yet not indifferent to one's fate.

I've seen'em come and I've sccn'em go, And many a guy with stuff, Enough to conquer in any show Went bad when the way got rough.

It's soft to pitch when ttere's no one.on, But the test that goes with me, Is the bases full, with two Een gone, And the count at two to three.

A new gypsum wallboard goes up as fast as rvallpaperwith no nails or joint treatment required. It comes in striated or plain finish which'can be painted.

Saving both labor and materials is a new'dry rvall finishing system which is said to produce a finish that permanently conceals joints and nailheads and results in a wall finish in any of three textures-smooth, stipple or sand-in any of 144 colors.

More than 18,000 home builders and others from the industry visited the big builders' shou'. It was open to the trade onlv.

Frank E. Hess, a leading figure in the developrnent of Southern California, has been elected president of the Construction Industries Exposition and Home Show for 1953-

Forest Service Annual Report Emphasizes America's Stake in World Forcstry

Adequate forest resources and their proper utilization are key factors in meeting increased world needs for wood resulting from a growing population and higher standards of living, Richard E. McArdle. chief of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, said'in his 1952 annual report, issued recently.

The report highlights some aspects of the world forestry situation and the foreign forestry activities of this country. In forestry, as on many other fronts, the United States is providing other countries with technical assistance and other aids.

During the past year the Forest Service cooperated in obtaining U. S. specialists for technical-assistance missions to other countries in response to requests for help in the development of their forest resources. The Forest Service also cooperated with other public agencies and with private industry in training foreign specialists rvho came to the United States to study American forestry and wood-utilization techniques.

International cooperation in forestry is not new to this country, the report states. As early as 1909 the United States called a North American conservation conference. In L926 an American delegation participated in the First World Forestry Congress in Rome, sponsored by the League of Nations, and representatives have attended the two cong'resses held since. American foresters also had a prominent part in bringing foreqtry into the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's program, the report concludes.

To meet growing world needs for rvood, three lines of action are recommended in the report: Better manag'ement of forest land now used for timber production, prompt reforestation of understocked and deforested lands, and opening up undeveloped timber resources, especially large areas of tropical forests. t

Among Forest Service accbmplishments for fiscal year 1952, the following are reported:

National forest receipts from the sale of timber, grazing permits, land-use permits and water-porver rights reached an all-time high of $71,N2,511 as compared to $60,018,94O for a year ago.

The Fngelmann spruce bark beetle epidemic in Colorado was brought under control. Some mop-up lvork may be needed during the next two years.

Grazing permits were issued to 19,708 livestock operators for grazing 1,088,215 cattle and 3,012,712 sheep. An additional47,283 cattle, 5,353 sheep and 1,210 srvine grazed free, as they were listed "for domestic use."

Recreational use of national forests also reached an alltime high of 30 million visits. This seriously overtaxed the available camping and picnicking facilities in many forests.

The Forest Service cooperated with 38 states to provide technical assistance to forest land owners. In this program soma 250 State-employed foresters assisted 27,933 woodland owners to establish better.management practices on 2,501,317 acres of woodland. Extension foresters at Land Grant Colleges, who cooperate with the Forest Service, made

marked progress in providing farm owners with educational assistance in woodland management.

The States, with the cooperation of the Federal Forest Service, distributed DZ mlllion trees to private landowners at nominal cost for planting farm wpodlands, shelterbelts, and windbreaks. In addition, 49,ffi acres of national forest land rvere planted.

Continued research was directed torvard the development of more efficient management, protection, and utilization of the renewable resources of timber, range and water at Forest Service experiment stations and the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin

Re-sell Lumber Used to Conrtruct Inaugural Standc

Washington, D.C. . The nation's taxpayers pnd Washington, D.C., businessmen were saved more than $3O,0m by the re-sale of all lumber used to construct stands for President Eisenhower's Iiauguration, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported today. 2

James R. Skinker, whose'construction company, Skinker and Garrett, has built all the Inaugural stands since 1920, said his firm had no trouble re-selling the lumber because "it rvas still in top condition after all the pounding from tens of thousands of Inaugural spectators."

Construction of the 1953 Inaugural stands, which'used about one million board feet of lumber, was paid for by the federal government and a special Inaugural Committee. The latter rvas supported by Washington businessmen and the sale of tickets for Inaugural parade seats and the Inaugural balls.

The major cost item in construction of tlre stands was about $135,000 for lumber. Approximately one-fourth of this original cost, or more than $30,000, was recovered by re-sale of the lumber to a Washington lumber yard.

Mr. Skinker said his company cut its bids on the Inaugural construction to account for the re-sale value of the lumber and to pass this saving on to the government and to the fnaugural Committee.

Most of the lumber rvill be re-used in home constructiorr. A small part of the wood platform from which Mr. Eisenhower took the oath of office has been made into special gavels for Vice President Nixon and House Speaker Martin (R), Mass.

In addition, 7,W board feet from the platform has been donated to the Treasury Department which will have it fashioned into special au'ards for volunteers in the U. Sdefense bond program.
