:. Owing to a mistake in the loading of a pistol to be used t in a movie sdene, and instead of a blank, a solid bullet went into the body of the actor. He crumpled into a senseless ,heap on the floor, whereat the director shouted: ,'', "H.y, you poor sap! that's not the way to fall when ' you're shot !"

Not So Green

They decided to have some fun with the new helper in the lumber office, who was decidedly green, and decidedly a Mick. So they left him alone in the office with instructions to accept any orders that came in. Then ttrey went to an outside phone, and one of them call'ed up the office. The Irishman answered. This was the conversation: l'Take an order, will you?"

'!Hellb. Is this the Smith Lumber Company?"

"Yes, sir, what can I do for you?"

"I sure will. What is it?"

"Send me up a thousand nice knotficles at once."

. "'What's that?"

"I. said I want a thousand nice knot holes."

"Well now, ain't that a shame ! 'We're just out of them."

"How's,that?"

"'We sold our whole stock to a brewery-they're usin' them to make bungholes for beer barrels."

Creeds

Friend, you are grieved that I should go, Unhoused, unsheltered, gaunt and free, My coat for'armor-for my tent, the roadside tree. And I-I know not how you bear. A roof betwixt you and the blue, Brother, the creed would stifle me-that shelters you. Yet that same light that foods at dawn, Your cloistered room-your crylrtic stair' Wakes me too+leeping by the'hedgeTo morning prayer.

A Thoughtful Friend

The Scotchman found a bottle of whiskey, and, being suspicious of the way it smelled, took it to a chemist friend for examination.

The chemist raised his han{s in horror. "Don't drink a drop of it," he warned. "It would drive y9u blind. Pour it out !"

"Don't waste it, laddie," said the Scot. "I'll give it to a Iri,end of mine who is blind already."

James O'Neill has resigned the management of the Copeland Lumber Company yard at Barning, Calif., and moved to Bremerton, Washington, where he will eargage in the lumber business. He has been succeeded at Banning by his a5sistant, Frank Koch.

Kinldd Lumber Co.

Francis J. Kinkaid and .James Kinkaid, brothers, have opened a new retail lumber yard in San Jost, the Kinlaid Lumber Company, 714 Lincoln Ave. Francis Kinkaid has lived in San Jose since 1929, and was manager for the Dord Lumber Company until recentlY.

The Sun Lumber Company, located at 6100 Sepulveda Boulevard, Van Nuys, California, dries 3 million board feet. of lumber a year in their side loading Moore CrossCirculation kiln. Species included in this large quantity of kiln dried stock are Redwood, Douglas Fir, and Ponderosa Pine.

This I\{oore Cross-Circulation side-loading kiln has a holding capacity of approximately 4O,000 board {eet per charge. Heat is provided from an automatic combination oil and gas fired 100 H.P. Kervanee boiler. An interesting feature of the boiler installation is that the boiler is so installed that if gas pressure falls low the boiler automatically kicks over to oil firing. This gives a completely automatic boiler installation.

The kiln building itself is constructed of poured concrete ,sidewalls r'r'ith a rvell insulated wood roof and overhead fan

Construction Activity in FebruatV 1953

Expenditures for new construction declined less than seasonally in February to $2.2 billion, and were at a record high for the month, according to preliririnary estimates of the U'S' Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division of the U'S. Department of Commerce'

Private spending on commercial and most other types of nonresidential building continued strong for this time of y'ear, reflecting to some extent a backlog of projects put under construction since relaxation of credit. and materials controls in the latter half of 1952. Because of ihe winter drop in housing starts, expenditures for work put in place on private nonfarm housing fell by 8 per cent from January to $675 million' However, additions and alterations to existing housing rose by 5 per cent to $67 million.

Most types of public construction showed the declines usually expected for the month, bringing total public outlays down by about 9 per cent from January to $632 million in Febrriary.

Expenditures for all new construction during the first 2 months of this year were nearly 6 per cent above last year's total for the same months, and when November and December are taken into account also, new construction activity, was

lnret Miler housings. The large 7V' diameter fans are driven with a single 20 H.P. motor.

John Kurzhals, kiln operator, accurately deterrrines the moisture content of the stock prior to loading into the kiln and then, knou'ing the final use to rvhich the stock will be put, determines and sets the proPer kiln schedule. A Moore Illaster.Controller automatically maintains the desired heat and relative humidity in the kiln and assures positive quality drying.

Homer H. Burnaby, general manager' and Tom Supple, assistant general manager, have been strong advocates of quality seasoned and manufactured stock. They are able to furnish promptly well seasoned stock on special as well as regular orders for their customers and have found their Cross-Circulation Kiln a profitable investment- at record levels for the winter of 1952-53. Thus far this year, most major'types of construction $rowed dollar increases over January-February 1952. HotYever, hospital building (private and public) is down substantially because of the tapering ofi of the Public Health and Veterans Administration construction programs. Also, expenditures were less for private industrial building than in January-February l9S2 when private plant expansion was at unusually high levels- The drop in expenditures for public housing over the year reflects the reduced statutory limit on the number of units federally strb' sidized that may be started this fiscal year.
