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.

New ldeas For Builders

(Continued from Page 36)

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.

There also is a proposal pending to sell souvenirs made from the platform lumber, with the proceeds going to various charities.

In 1950, prefabricated housing absorbed 25o,(m,(m board feet of lumber and 15,860,000 board feet of rvood siding.

In geologic time, the first app6arance of plant grorvth resembling forests as we know them today, was in the Carboniferous Age, rvhich reached its peak perhaps 250,0m,00O years ago.

Upson Honors 53 Veteran Employees Arizona Convention Will Have Limited Display Space

R. lfichaels, SecretaryTreasurer, announces that the directors have changed their minds about having no display space available for that affair. Ilr. Michaels rvrites that they have found room for eight or ten displays, four by eight feet in size, rvhich are available at $50 each. The dates of the meeting are \[ay ld 15, and 16.

In 1951, for the first more Douglas fir than time in historl-, California produced any other species.

Officers of the Quarter Century Club of the Upson Company, Lockport, New York, r,r'ere elected at a recent company dinner at rvhich 53 veteran employes n'ith a total service and employment record of 1573 years, rvere honored and awarded gold rvatches.

Farm Plans for Plywood

The Douglas Fir Plywood Association has just issued a new piece of literature, a catalogue of tested plyu'ood farm structures. It is an attractive sixteen page book, containing thirty plans for farm structures, and various information concerning the use of plyrvood on the modern farm. Here will be found various types of buildings for hogs, poultry, and calves; there are grain storage units, rice drying and storage units, egg coolers, food dehydrators, milk cabinets, home freezers, septic tanks, etc.

The first geologic their evolution almost evidence of coniferous trees places 200,000,000 years ago.
