Sullivan, project manager, states that vertical Cedar V-Rustic is more practical than Redwood because there is no bleeding or cbecking, and it gives a more pleasing, rustic appearance that is popular with home buyers. In addition, it is more economical. Ostrom is pleased to supply Cedar V-Rastic and Beueled Siding through our regular dealers to this impressive 3,000-home project.

I{out's theTime to StandUp and Be Counted

More than 50 nations of the world have scheduled population censuses in 1960. Of these, the United States has maintained the longest continuing series of regular periodic counts, every 10 years since 1790. The 18th decennial census of the United States opens on April 1,1960. However, among modern nations, Sweden was the first to conduct a national census. in 1749.

trative districts and instituted an elaborate census registration in which the head of every family was enrolled together with all members of his household.

Moses and Aaron Took a Census

Census-taking probably antedates the dawn of history and began when man just was able to count. Babylonia and China, 50 centuries ago, had stocktakings of the kind that later becamc known as censuses. As early as 3050 B.C. in Egypt, the construction of the pyramids demanded a considerable body of statistics and, by 25ffi 8.C., maps of the whole country were being compiled and numberings of the people had begun. By 1400 B.C., Rameses II had divided his country into adrninis-

Among the Hebrew people, the first systematic census was undertaken by Moses and Aaron after the Exodus from Egypt and during the wandering of the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai. Most early censuses were taken to determine the military strength of a people, aird a notable example was that taken by the Hebrew King David who, in 1017 8.C., numbered his people f rom Dan to Beersherba.

In ancient Greece, systematic records were necessary, for to the differing classes of citizenship were assigned differing obligations and privilcges. In Solon's tax-census in 594 B.C., for exarnple, the people were divided into four classes accord-

ing to the return of their proper. ty estimated in wheat.

The sixth king of Rome,.Servius Tullius, instituted the ltoman census about 550 B.C. Caesar Augustus, in 5 B.C., extended the census to include the entire Roman empire-the thel known world.

The Romans Gave Census Its Name

The word "census" comes from the Romans. It is derived from "censor," a magistrate charged with making a register of persons and their property. The purpose of the Roman census, which was taken every fifth year, was to enumerate the mem-

military surveys of Biblical days nor the cadastral surveys of Babylonian and Ronran timcs.

It was at the time of this census-taking that Jesus was born in a manger in a Bethlehenr stable inStead of in morc comfortable surroundings. The populace had been called to report to inhabited cerlters ::i Herod's kingdom in order to be enumerated in the Roman censsus, and the resulting congestion in the inns of Bethlehem may have been the reason it was impossible for Mary and Joseph to find better sleeping quarters than in the stable.

bers and property of every family f or determining tl-reir civil status and corresponding liabilities. In fact, the census com,bined enumera(ing and tax-assessing in one operation. Modern censuses, particularly in Amelican practice, are not the

The collapse of the Roman Empire concluded the first known series of periodic censuses. Feudalism sprang up, and the feudal system rendered the revival of census-taking, even when practicable, less necessary. During the Middle Ages, how-' ever, there was the beginning of a revival of census-taking in the Breviary of Charlemagne about A.D. 80E and in the Domesday Book, in A.D. 1086, where William the Conqueror listed his subjects and their earthly possessions.

Genghis Khan, the Asiatic conqueror whose armies roamed the Oriental world in the latter years of the 12th Century and the first quarter of the 13th Century, caused censuses to be

WEI'TERN PINE ASSOCIATION.ADOPTS NEW GR,ADING CONCEPTS

PORTLAND-WiIh its inland Douglas Fir and Larch receiving from the FHA interim strength valucs for joists and rafters on a par with Coast-type Fir, the Western Pine Association took action to standardize grades of framing lumber at its annual meeting in San Francisco March 5.

The group formally adopted grading rules and grade names for dimension identical with thosc of the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau. The change becomes efrective as fast as graders can be re-educated to the new rules. About 30p/o ot the fir from the Western Pine region already was being shipped on those rulcs.

At the same time, the Association's board of directors ap- proved a massive testing program by independent agencies to obtain new strength information which is expected to permanently justify cqual stresses for all fir, grade for grada The Association already has made many tests indicating the reasonableness of such equality.

"This standardization of grade names and rules will help lumber retailers, home bu,ilders and other elemcnts of the trade throughout the nation," said W. E. Griffee, who was officially named to succeed S. V. Fullaway as the Associationis secretary-manager. "It should eli,rninate the confusion which has existed because of the differing grades and grade names."

Griffee said the recognition of high strength values of inland Douglas Fir will halt discrimination against it which occurred because of the grade difierences and "unfair technicalities."

"Dealers who prefer the manufacture and appearance of fir from the inland mills," Grifree said, "will no longer have to contend with occasional questions arising because of grades or approved working Btresses."

made of the peo,ple and possessions in territories overrun by his Mongol hordes. Marco Polo told of this in the account of his travels.

First North A,mcrican Census in 1577

The first census in North America was taken in New Spain (now Mexico) in 1577, nearly four centuries ago, at the behest of King Philip II of Spain. The Spanish overlords received help from the natives, and at least two of the maps which the Indians turned out are now in the Garcia Icazbalceta

collection in the University of Texas Latin-American library.

Records have been cited to show that the ancient Peruvians made a register of men for military purposes and 'reported their number to the f nca emperor, Sinchi Roca, as 2fr),000 fighting men.

Firs Colonial Census in Virginia

The first of the American colonies to take a census was Virginia. This census for the year 1635 enumerated 5,119 persons. The next colonial census was that of New York colony, in 1698, which enumerated

The lumber executive noted that fully one-third of , all dimension lumber produced in the West comes from mills in the Wcstern Pine rcgion, so it was "imperative that any confusion regarding it be ended,"

For framing lumber in Western Pine region woods other than Douglas Fir, Larch and Hemlock, the Association adopted non-Btress grades and grade names identical with those of the WCLIB. Thus the "Construction," "Standard," "Utility" and "Economy'' grades will be the same regardless of point of origin.

Although most mills are expected to change promptly to the new grades, the old grades may be uscd optionally until the end of this year. The new rules will be publishcd soon :ts a supplement to the last edition of the Standard Grading Rules.

The Association'e grading committee and board of directors also autho,rized new grade stamps for the resawn product of thick commons and dimension of all species. The new stamps will show grade of the original s ock and thickness of the res:rwn product, They will be applied to both sides of the hmber before resawing. Industry officials reported the new stamp was authorized to "satisfy FHA grade-stamping requirements on sheathing and subflooring and to accommodate the many buyers who order specific grades resawn." A sizeable volume of resawn lumber moves into every state in the union-

Grade stamps for mixed shipments of Engelmann Spruce and Ircdgepole Pine also were authorized. The two woods are so similar that a good many mills have long shipped them mixed; in fact it is diftcult to separate them.

18,067 inhabitants. These Virginia and New York censuses were the only colonial censuses in what now is the United States to be taken during the lTth century. Between ITAA and 1790, when the first l-Inited Stares census was taken, there were 36 additional colonial censuses. Nearly all of the American colonial censuses were taken at the behest of the British Board of Trade, which desired definite statistical information about the colonial market.

Maryland took its first colonial census in l7l2 with an enumeration of 46,073, and, another in 1755 with an enumeration of 153,564. New Jersey was the fourth of the colonies to comply with orders that a census be taken, enumerating 32,442 inhabitants in 1726. The colonial governor had refused three years earlier to take the census as demanded by the British Board of Trade because the people "would take it as a repetition of David's sin." Upon the Board's insistence, however, he issued orders to the sherifis to take the census. In all. three colonial censuses were taken in New Jersey after the ice was broken.

The people of Connecticut and Massachusetts manifested considerable opposition to census projects. T'hey feared that in some way the information gathered in censuses would be used to their disadvantage by the British authorities and saw no advantage to themselves.

Hoo-Hoo Club 9 Gets Wood Promotion lnto Orbit At Huge Sqn Frqncisco Gothering of Lumbermen

More than 120 Bay Area lumbermen attended the first serious meeting on Wood Promotion sponsored by San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 on Tuesday evening, February 16, at the Leopard Cafe in San Francisco. And what a meeting it was ! More than three times the attendance of any of the club's regular monthly meetings. The crowd was graphic evidence of the tremendous interest that HooHoo has successfully generated in Wood Promotion, par- 'ticularly at the local level.

The "strictly business" meeting was chairmanned by Al Bell, chairman of Club 9's local "Watch-Dog committee," and featured no less than 13 (count 'em) separate talks by industry and association notables.

We reprint Mr. Bell's opening remarks for those few lumbermen who have somehow still missed the point: "Fellas, it's much later than you think, but still not too late to save our industry and our livelihoods.

Let's get Wood Promotion off the ground !

"Gentlemen: It is a pleasure to .welcorne you to Hoo-Hoo Club 9's first serious meeting on Wood Promotion. We particularly welcome those from our other clubs of Northern California- Let me briefly outline what we hope to accomplish this evening:

"First," Bell continued, "in attendance are some distinguished representatives of various phases of the industry. These men will give you a summary of what has been accomplished in their various fields-and what is planned for the future. Thus, the first half of our program will brief you on the progress of Wood Promotion on a National level.

"Secondly," Bell went on, "the remainder of the program will be devoted to a discussion of what San Francisco HooHoo Club 9-and by implication all Hoo-Hoo clubs, whether represented here or not-can do to implement the National Wood Promotion Program on a local level.

"The NWPP is the brainchild of the NLMA and its 17 federated associations. To get the benefit of the thinking of all users of Wood, the NLMA formed the National Wood Council, a group representing 56 organizations of manufacturers, distributors and other elements of the lumber and wood-products industries. Members include such diverse organizations, for example, as the National Wood Boat Manufacturers Assn. and our own International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo. In this way, all elements of the lumber industry, from timber owners and manufacturers through distributors to users, are banded in one group to promote wood.

"Three things to remember during the course of the evening," Bell concluded. "First, you are all here tonight because you are FIoo-Hoo. Second, by definition, then, your livelihood depends on wood. Last, the lumber yard is still the only place in town where you can buy lumber."

Bell then introduced the evening's first speaker, Jack Fairhurst, past prexy of the WCLA and current chairman of its Promotion and Advertising committee. Fairhurst, as head of Fairhurst Lumber Company, showed vital concern on wood promotion from the standpoint of a producer.

Outlining the "nuts and bolts" of NLMA's National Wood Promotion Program and its National Wood Council, Mr. Fairhurst told the large group of the "glamorous" side 'of the program, including NLMA's 1960 schedule for 10 full-color pages in Life magazine promoting all species of wood, and of its direct mail pieces and advertising aimed

On the "non-glamourous" side of the promotion, Fairhurst disclosed that over 8,000 personal calls had been made by the wood promotion staff on designers, specifiers and builders during 1959.

At the local level, Fairhurst urged close cooperation between retailers, wholesalers, architects and builders, (2) The formation of a "Watch-dog" committee (already operating under Al Bell), (3) A hard pitch to local school officials and influentials, showing them how they can speci- fy "Wood . . For Better Schools," (4) Improved cooperation from wholesalers (after all, they have but one commodity to sell-Wood. In line with this, Fairhurst complimented the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association on its new "Sales-Training Program" (outlined in the February 15th issue of CLM).

Next on the program was Philip T. Farnsworth, ex-

Farnsworth went on to outline CRA's part in the NWPP, its most recent accomplishment the "New Importance of Wood" spread, which dominated the Februaiy issue of House and Garden. Between the three western associations alone, Farnsworth noted, the retailer is now able to draw on some 18 motion picture films, 4 strip films. 192,ad mats. 23 TV spots, 47 siufiers and 244 piices of promotionai literature, all promoting wood but most important, the retailer, the only place that wood is sold.

Unable to attend the meeting, Don Andrews, Portland representative for the N-AWLA, briefly told of his association's new Sales-Training Program in a letter read by Bell. Andrews noted, and rightly so, that the sales iourse has (Continued on Page 53)

A Component Clinic Gives Deolers o Look lnto The Future of Retoil Yords r qnd the lndustry

The Lumber Merchants Assn. of Northern California staged a "Component Construction Clinic" at Rickey's Studio Inn in Palo Alto, February 16 and 17. This was a "strictly business" aft.air, running from 8:00 a.m. through 11:00 p.m., with only a short break for lunch and dinnir the first day.

The second day included another early-morning session and an afternoon tour through two leading Peninsula component manufacturers-O'Neill Lumber Company, at San Carlos, and O'Neill & Ellis Lumber Co., Campbell, Calif.

Some 52 retail lumber executives from all parts of Northern California, from Chester to Visalia, and from Tahoe City to South San Francisco, were gathered here for a prevue of the "Fabulous 60s," a period that may well be remembered as the most revolutionary in the annals of home-building.

-Complete List of Dealers Attending on Page 18-

The American lumber industry has done some pretty remarkable things with the logs used since Davy Crockett's construction era. Likewise the nation's tool manufacturers. So the stage is set. Mr. American builder is entering the Component Age.

' Admittedly, Component Construction and Lu-Re-Co may not be the answer for all dealers. On the other hand, for some, it may mean the salvation of their businesses in the years to come.

That's why these men were at the Clinic-to have all the facts at hand to make their decision as to (1) whefher they wished to actually build components in their yards and offer them as a sales tool to their builder customers, (2) whether they should actually engage in direct component building, (3) or merely to have all the facts in hand when their contractor customers inquire as to its feasibility.

The three principal speakers and instructors for the twoday session were C. A. Thompson, head of Thompson Lumber Co. in Champaign, Ill., who is currently serving as president of the Lumber Dealers Research Council (Lu-

Re-Co) ; Ray Harrell, executive vice-president and research director of Lu-Re-Co, and Dan Sedgwick, promotion director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn., Tacoma, Wash.

In the opening session, Harrell and Thompson explained the so-called "core" of the Lu-Re-Co program, proven under fire in the east and midwest, where dealers are facing increasingly heavy competition from several major prefabricators.

Both men noted that, while prefabrication has not previously been a big factor in the West, there are many signs pointing to its growth both in the West and Southwest (National Homes, the largest prefabrication outfit in the world, recently purchased a plant in Decoto, California,

"

iust a few miles south of Oakland)

Lu-Re-Co, of course, utilizes ihe modular concept in much the same way as the prefabricator. The big advantage to the lumber dealer is the standardization of Lu-Re-eo components. By manufacturing wall panels in only 2, by 8 and 4 by 8' modules, many dealers have found lhat they can easily stock panels for as many as five complete homes.

Standardization of parts makes it possible to supply in- numerable designs from this stock. By adhering to 2 f.oot and 4 foot wide modules, practically bny housJ order becomes just a matter of "so many 2'by 8'and 4' by 8' solid panels, so many window panels, so many door panels, etc."

Another big saving to the Lu-Re-Co dealer is in his

delivery costs, Harrell stated. "By actual average I count," he noted, "a lumber dealer will make anywhere from 20 to 25 deliveries on a conventionally built home. A Lu-Re-Co package.will complete the same job in only7or8deliveries."

Advantages to the contractor are obvious, the principal one being his saving on labor costs at the jobsite. Harrell told the group that actual savings to builders using the Lu-Re-Co method would run from 7 to I0%, the result of cutting down on his on-site labor.

Harrell noted that the average wall erection time for a 1,000-sq. ft. home will normal.ly run from 45 to 60 minutes. Five men can easily complete the "shell" of an average home, including trusses, ioof sheathing and siding, in*a sipgle day.

fn.answering a question from the floor regarding pre-

In announcing the Component Clinic to his dealer members, Jack F. Pomeroy, executive vice-president of the Lumber Merchants Assn. of Northern Califomia, said:

". . In our conversations with members during the past several weeks, it is apparent that many are seriously concernd about the increasing volume of direct selling and announced expansion plans of major West Coast prefabricat-ors. These dealers aie often in areas where pre-cutting or pre-fabricated homes have not been a major competitive faCtor. However, with the ease of transporta- tion which components and fabricated homes offer, it may well be these markets will be ripe for pre-fab development.

"We are sure you know that ihe manufactuied home of 1960 is no longer a box affair but is offered in a variety of models Ianging from a 1200-sq.-ft, $8,600 home to a 2350-si1.-ft. custom home selling at $40,000 exclusive of land.

"It was with this background in mind that your Association arranged the Conrponent tonstn-rction C[nic sir that memberdealers would have all the facts in hand to make their decision as to whether they wished to actually build components in their yard and offer-them as a sales tool to their buildEr customers, or !o elgage in- direct building, or to merely have all the facts in hand when their contractor customers inquire as to its feasibilitv.

"Component Construction is deffnitely i strqng trend-no dealer who is interested in the progress of his ffrm -can afrord to ignore it. ."

cutting vs. prefabrication, Harrell said that he personally felt that pre-cutting was more like "cutting with a halfpair of shears." Rut he again stressed the need to fully explore the modular, or Lu-Re-Co., concept before deciding.

Naturally, conditions vary in difierent parts of the state. Possibly a modified Lu-Re-Co system would work better than the whole system in some areas. Possibly pre-cutting is the answer for some dealers; possibly the remodeling and cash-&-carry trade is better for others.

The advantage of Lu-Re-Co again Flexibility. Standardization of parts allows the dealer to go just as far as he wants. Assuming he wants to go the whole package, Harrell then shifted discussion to the manufacturing of box beams and roof trusses.

Harrell disclosed that Lu-Re-Co. with the assistance

of the DFPA, will soon be out with 6', 8, and l0' plans and data on plywood box beams by which the dealer can inexpensively manufacture his own beams to adapt to California's hallowed picture window architecture. Lightweight, Strong and dimensionally stable box beams will replace the admittedly troublesome double 2" by 6" header system formerly employed for spans of this nature in Lu-Re-Co construction.

In discussing roof trusses, Harrell pointed out that, in his opinion, the "best truss is the one in which all members are on a single plane." For the dealer manufacturing less than 500 trusses a month, Harrell suggested the Glue Nail

truss, laboratory tested by Lu-Re-Co and proven in the field. Some drawbacks to this truss method. however:

Glue nail trusses must be cured for at least 24 hours at not less than 50 degrees fahrenheit; a storage problem would be involved for the dealer manufacturing more than 500 of these trusses each month. Another drawback obvious to most California dealers was that glue nail trusses must be made from lumber with l9/o or less moisture content. Several different trusses using metal plate connectors for those dealers finding the glue nail method unacceptable were then discussed, including the more recently developed (Continued on Page 56)

San Francisco-The men who manufacture 32/o of America's softwood lumber gathered here March 2-5 f.or the annual meeting of the l2-state Western Pine Association at the St. Francis hotel. With approximately 400 mills represented, the lumbermen tackled current industry-lvide problems in committee sessions which took up the first two days. Committee chairmen presiding at work sessions included K. R. Walker, Anderson, Calif., forest conservation; M. R. Isted, Prineville, Ore., grading; Enoch Israelson, Sacramento, moulding; Harold J. Ford, San Fr4ncisco, trade promotion ; R. A. Blaser, Flagstaff, Artzona, research ; J. P. Reinmuth, Lewiston, Idaho, safety; C. M. Harris, Ardenvoir, \Mash., statistical; E. R.

Pine Industry Spurs Trade-Promotion Drive

The Western Pine lumber industry is now investing more than $Ir/a millions a year in industry-wide product advertising and trade promotion, declared J. D. Bronson, Yakima, Wash., president of the Western Pine Association, at th? annual meeting of the lumbermen.

Bronson, pointing to "dynamic change and development" taking place in the building materials market, told the gathering of more than 4O0 manufacturers that the Western Pine industry is pacing its trade-promotion efforts with continuous emphasis on quality control and consumer preference attention.

"The idea of collective promotion of lumber stands high in the minds of our members," Bronson said. More than 85/o of the l2-state region's lumber production capacity is represented in the 450 member mills of the association, he pointed out.

Dues paid by these mills, on a basis of output, go heavily into a promotion program on behalf of the 10 lumber species manufactured in the region and marketed in all the states. Advertising programs 'of individual companies add substantially to the total effort.

"But without merchandising and effective quality control, no prom<ition program can succeed," he . warned.

"No industry's market will stay stationary these days. There is no guarantee that what we produce today will satisfy demands of the consuming market 10 years hence. Market analysis and research will point the way. The market will grow for those who wisely plot their changes to the needs of today's and tomorrow's markets."

Brisk Lumber Demand Forecast for 1960

Lumber demahd during 1960 will continue brisk but probably won't match the record-breaking volumes of 1959, W. E. Griffee, acting manager of the Western Pine association, told the annual meeting.

"Most home construction forecasts for this year seem to range from 1,200,000 to 1,250,000 units," Griffee told the lumber manufacturers. "This'would be a drop ol 7 to l0% from last year. This does not mean, however, that we expect a corresponding drop in lumber shipments. We look for a lumber volume within about 5/o of the very high marks reached in 1959.

"There will be a further increase in apartment house construction, which requires less lumber, but at the same time thete will be an increase in home modernization and repair work."

Griffee said housing starts "held up amazingly well" during the fall, despite higher interest rates. Starts during December rose to an annual rate of 1,300,000 units and resulted in a total of 1,341,500 private starts for the year. This was only 11,000 below the all-time high mark set in 1950, he added.

Availability of mortgage money at rates attractive to

home builders and buyers continues to be the fundamental question before the industry, Griffee said.

Region Lumber Output Sets New High

Western Pine region 1959 lumber production ol 9,4O1,000,000 board feet was ll/o above 1958 and set a new high mark for the 12-state industry, President Bronson reporte-d.

The record-breaking output, representing about 310,000 cars,_ afforded 136,374,000 man hours of employment in woods and sawmills for 73,300 persons, Bronson said. Box factories and other remanufacturing plants attached to the industry added another 20,000,000 man hours to the payroll.

Lumpe-r shipments (sales) also reached a new regional high of 9,357,000,000 board feet, Bronson reported. -Shipments were up nearly ll/o over 1958 and were more than a half billion feet above the previous peak, 8.78 billion feet shipped in 1955. The previous high in production was 9.03 billion in 1956.

Analyzing the region's growing role in the American lumber business, Bronson said the industry has nearly doubled in productive capacity since \Morld War II. it topped 7 billion feet for the first time in 1948 and 8 billion feet in 1955. Its production now represents 32/o of the nation's softwood lumber output. Thirty years ago it was l7/o. This comparison does not take into account, however, the large volume of sawtimber now flowing into the plywood industry, which 30 years ago was just getting started. Currently, plywood expansion is getting under way in the Western Pine region.

Association month-by-month statistics for 1959 showed 46/o of. the year's lumber output, or 4,30I,052,000 board feet, was Ponderosa Pine, Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine and Lodgepole Pine. The remainder-5,099,948,N0 or 54/o -was Douglas Fir, Larch, White Fir, Engelmann Spruce, fncense Cedar and Red Cedar.

An estimated 500 communities in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, IJtah, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,

Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington, Nevada and California have Western Pine mills. The industrv draws its raw material from 87,000,000 acres of commercial forest, most of which is dedicated to sustained yield management, Bronson pointed out.

Fire-Killed Timber Salvaged at Record Rate

More than a third of the 675 million board feet of timber killed in California forest fires of 1959 has been harvested so far in a huge emergency conservation program launched by the lumber industry even before the ashes cooled, it was reported at the annual meeting. Knox Marshall, Association forest engineer and chairman of the California Forest Pest Control Action Council, said the all-out timber salvage program has brought in to the mills to date about 265 million feet, leaving some 410 million feet to go. Total firekill represents about 22,5m cars of lumber, enough to build 60,000 houses.

A conservation problem even greater than fire damage faces the California forest resource in the form of insect depredations expected this year, partly due to the disastrous fires of 1959, Marshall stated. Sanitation-salvage logging and even direct control measures are going ahead in an effort to cut losses, slow the bugs and put the stricken timber to use in housing.

Industrial safety for employes is a do-it-yourself project. It is not to be achieved any other way. That's the gist of a report to the Western Pine lumber industry by Phil Reinmuth, Lewiston, Idaho, chairman of the industry-wide Safety Promotion committee. Reinmuth disclosed that mills taking part in safety meetings and pressing continuously for safety in their operations are now 17/o below the industry's average in injury frequency rate.

At the same time, his report showed that mills not actively engaged in safety planning and promotions have an injury frequency rate 9l/o higher than those that are.

Moses was but a few minutes in the burning bush, but he brought forth the Ten Commandments, on which civilization has been built. But Moses had no doubt learned most of the laws contained in the Ten Commandments when he was young, from the Code of Hammurabi, which had been in existence and known to all scholars for hundreds of years before Moses was born. There were 42 commandments in the Hammurabi Code. Like Moses. old Hamm had announced centuries before that his Code was handed him ready-made by the Lord.

J. Dwightr O'Dell, publisher of the Humboldt Beacon, Fortuna, was keynote speaker at the banquet, choosing for his topic "The Community Looks at the Forest Products f ndustry."

"The past 25 years have resulted in the greatest imaginable regional changes in the practice of selective logging and improved forestry practices," he stated, and gave some of the reasons for this assertion in a review of timber harvesting methods employed in the redwood region over a fifty-year period.

Gypsum wallboard craftsmen know the importance of Blue Diamond uniforrnitg. Uniform characteristics aid in the fast production of smooth, ffre resistant walls and ceilings. Aniformitg is a result of quality control.

Blue Diamond quality control begins with the grading of gypsum rock at the mines. It carries through every step of gypsum wallboard manufacture to the ffnal placement of dunnage to safeguard its condition in 'transit.

Applicator craftsmanship and Blue Diamond uniformity join hands in producing smooth . . . solid . . . fire resistant walls and ceilings.

Small transistorized pre-amplifers are the heart of this new Executone sound systerh. One pre-amplifier is located adjacent toand in some cases built into-every Executone microphone, radio tuner and record player in the system. This pre-amplifier boosts the week signal and makes it strong enough to travel long distances to the power booster amplifier or mixer without noise pickup or other decrease in the quality of sound reproduction. The new Executone approach makes possible great economy in installation and service: Input and output lines may be run in the same conduit without interference, eliminating some conduit runs; Much expensive power wiring can be eliminated, since the transistorized prearnplifiers and mixers require no 1l0-volt AC connection; Plug-in mi.niature terminal blocks used throughout the system and plug-in relay controls on the power boosters make for easier, less costly installation and service.

Additional information on this new sound system is available from Executone, Inc., 415 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N. Y.

MORE PROFIT FROM FARM BUILDING SALES

A 1,6-page illustrated booklet just released by West Coast Lumbermen's Association shows retail lumber dealers how to fabricate and erect complete farm buildings using Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock and Western red cedar lumber. Titled "How To Fabricate and Erect Panelized Farm Buildings," the book explains the details of wall prefabrication, truss building and on-site erection. Buildings of many styles and sizes can be constructed using the system explained in the booklet.

The new pressure-treated post and lurnrber foundation is explained and illustrated in detail. All necessary lumber and hardware is listed by size and quantity, plus a truss span table for rafter supports.

Census Taken to Correct 'Wild" Estimate

(Continued from Page 2)

New Hampshire's first colonial census was taken in 1767 with a count of 52,7@ inhabitants. T'he colony took three additional censuses. One of these. in 1775. was taken to ascertain the quantity of arms and ammunition in the province and to correct (according to the 1909 report of "A Century of PopuIation Growth" issued by the Bureau of the Census) a "wild" estimate made by the Continental Congress of 102,000 inhabitants, exclusive of slaves.

Pennsylvania and Delaware, as well as the Southern'colonies of Georgia and North and South Carolina, conducted no colonial censuses as far as records show.

The Decennial Census of the United States is the world's oldest of the modern census ' systems. Without lapse, the Census of Population has been taken at l0-year intervals since 1790. The Census of Agriculture was initiated in 1840. The Census of Housing is the infant of the three units of the 1960 Census. having been taken for the first time in 1940.

First of the European countries to make a complete enumeration of its population was .Sweden, in 7749, but the country did not then continue full-

scale counts at periodic intervals. Spain's first census came in 1798, while Great Britain and France entered the list in 1801. Prussia took its first modern census in 181Q Norway in 1815, Austria in 1818, Greece in 1836, Italy in 1861, and Russia in 1897.

The first Decennial Census of

the United States enumerated a population of 3,929,274. The 1850 population census was the first to list by name every inhabitant of the country. It provided also for noting age, sex, color, place of birth, marital ltatus, and other facts about individuals.

Census Bureau

Established in 1902

' The first 12 censuses of the United States, 1790-1900, were conducted without rbenefit of a permanent Census Office. For these censuses, tem,porary organizations were set up every 10 years, then to be disbanded until the next census. After the 1900 Census, Congress enacted the Permanent Census Act creating the Bureau of the Census on March 6, 1902.

As a result of the establishment of the Census Bureau as a permanent statistical gathering agency, the efficiency of censustaking and of the tabulation and publication of results has shown continued improvement. Notable has been the levelling of the peak load of work, coinciding with the decennial census years, by distribution of portions of the original decennial censuses to other years; and the increase in frequency of canvasses in the fields of industry, distribution, commerce and agriculture to provide more current statistical information. The continuing development of new tabulating equipment through the years to the present-day lightning-fast electronic computers, and the introduction of scientific statistical sampling methods are also notable advancements.

Many Censuses in l0-year Cycle

Since 1900, censuses in certain fields have come to be taken more frequently than decennially. The Censuses of Business, Manufactures. and Mineral Industribs are taken at five-year intervals covering the years ending in "3" and "8." The Census of Agriculture is taken every five years in the years ending in "4' and. Census of Governments collects statistics of state and local governments in years ending in "2" and "7."

In addition to the periodic censuses, the Census Bureau conducts comprehensive surveys at annual, quarterly, and monthly intervals in the fields of employment, unemployment, manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, exports and imports, financial statistics of states and cities and other subjects for which current statistical needs arise.

As a result of the many advancements made in the science of census-taking, the United States has developed the most comprehensive body of statistical information (in detail and in scope) to ibe found anywhere in the world.

Duncan Pell, general manager of Davis Hardwood Cornpany in San Francisco, announces completion of a new 25,000-sq. ft. Stran-Steel clear span warehouse at 450 West Grace Ave. in North Sacramento on March 1. The new warehouse will ooerate as a branch of San Francisco and will serve the Sairamento Valley trade with a full line of Davis Hardwood products.

Formation of a team that'll be hard to beat was announced last month when Bob Macfie joined Bob Kilgore, popular San Rafael wholesaler. Macfie, who is also well known to the trade, particularly in the Peninsula, Coast Counties and Bay areas, had been with West Coast Timber Products for the Dast vear. I

A "week-end warrior" ind Navy pilot during WWII, Macfie has spent his entire career in lumber, with the exception of a short return to his first love-flying-a year or so back. He is a graduate of the University of California and received the maiority of his wholesale experience during a six-year association with Twin Harbors Lumber Co. at Menlo Park.

Kilgore and Macfie, needing some additional elbow room, have since moired into larger offices at 1306 Third St., San Rafael. Phones (Glenwood 6-0831) and mailing address (P.O. Box 121) remain the same.

Johnny Lindell (right), former Yankee and Hollywood Star, can still draw the crowds. More than 140 Black Cats turned out to hear him talk about the sports picture in Southern California in general, and baseball in particular, at Rio Hondo Country Club, Febrt'ary ]9: He discussed his many experiences in organized baseball during the past two decades and his interesting work with the 7-Up youth program.

'Sports Nite' Drows Good Turnout of L. A. |ls6nll66

Many "Black Cats" participated in the question-andanswer period following the talk given by Johnny, which indicated the exceptional interest lumbermen have in baseball and, in fact, all sports events. Program Chairman Tom Burden is to be congratulated for obtaining the services of this well-known featured speaker.

The golf tournament attracted 65 hearty outdoor men and the weather was excellent-the course dry and fast. The low-gross prize was won by Charles Jordan, with a 76. In the first flite, George Bradvica won lst position with a net 66, and Carl Bastian placed second with a net 68. Joe Petrash also had a 66 to make first position in the second flite, while Brace Gurnee was right behind him with a 67. Ted Avram walked away with the third flite again with a 66 net.

The guest speaker, John Lindell, shot a net 67 to win the guest prize. Don Bailey won the retailer prize with a 66, and Ken Kenoffel, John Osgood and Charlie Allen all had Blind Bogeys. Don Gow handled the golf tournament in place of Harvey Koll, Supreme 9 member, who was out ot town.

At the highly successful dinner hour, several of the golf winners failed to show for their prizes and Snark Harold Cole again stated that winners of golf prizes must be on hand at the dinner to collect their prizes. During the evening meeting a minute of silence was observed in.memory of Nate Parsons and Leon Flynn, prominent Black Cats who had just passed on.

Special prizes were awarded Johnny Lindell, Ben Gardner and Bill Lamb for making reservations in advance. The regular door prizes were won by Bob Kowarsch, Jean Par-

"We would like to urge all members of Hoo-Hoo Club 2 to mark Friday, lVlarch 18, a very special date," said Snark Cole. "We irave planned a full d"y bi sports and club activity. The golf tournament will get underway promptly at 10:09 a.m. We shall have the Concatenation during the cocktail hour and a bar will be available in the initiation room from 5:39 p.m. until the Kittens have been shown the light of day.

Gypsum Associqtion Suggests

Deoler Cost-Sovings Procedures

thereby eliminate unnecessary costs for building materials dealers.

Lloyd If. Yeager, secretary-general manager of the As'sociation, is appealing to dealers to clean all cars of dunnage and to dispose of it properly. He warned that "failure to remove and dispose of dunnage at the point of destination might force railroads to impose drastic regulatiohs that would nullify the inherent savings found in the unit-loading

Recognizing the vital importance of dealer cooperation in achieving lower costs of materials handling, the Gypsum Association-through its Materials Handling committeehas launched a campaign to reduce safety hazards and system presently being used by the building industry."

Dunnage left on a flatcar returning to the mill, Yeager emphasized. can fall on adiacent tracks and cause the wrecking oi att o..o-ing triin. IJnremoved wire ties and strappings, he added, represent a dire safety hazard to workmen or trainmen whether the car is moving or standing still.

According to Yeager, the gypsum industry pioneered the system of unit loading in the building industry to parallel and capitalize on the growing use of mechanical unloading equipment.

"Thia siientific unit-loading," he said, "has already saved building materials dealers throughout the country hundreds of thousands of dollars in unloading costs.tt

To help dealers further reduce time and expense of mechanical unloading, the Gypsum Association's Materials Handling committee suggests the use of dividing wedges.

These wedges are inserted under several bundles of gypsum wallboard and permit the forks of a lift-truck to remove them from a rail boxcar or flatcar. Their use makes it possible for an average capacity fork-lift truck to unload, by increments, any stack of gyPsum wallboard. Dunnage disposal is sharply reduced.

The wedges, which are produced from oak or birch lumber, are 16lnches long, 5 lnches wide and are full tapered from a 6-inch butt. They can be made locally at low cost.

Working with its member companies and others, the Gypsum Association is now engaged in developing- new approaches to the over-all loading and-unloading problem. The industry's leading experts in the field, as members- of the Materiais Handling committee, are engaged in this project.

Santa Maria-The largest building permit in Santa Maria's history has been issued to construct the Vandenberg Inn in the south part of the city. Construction value is estimated at $1,148,636. The 500-' room hotel will include a restaurant, shols and game rooms.

Two men did more for the cause of the laboring man in the United States than probably all others combined. They were Henry Ford and Samuel Gompers.

Henry Ford voluntarily increased the wages of his employes to a height that labor itself had never even dreamed of asking. And the world had to follow suit.

Samuel Gompers was the very wise and conservative leader of the American Federation of L'abor, whose policies and preachings were so sound that he led his people, like Moses, safely toward the promised land of better things for those who toil.

A fair sample of the wise philosophies of Gompers was the following utterance:

"One fact stands out in bold relief in the history of man's attempts for betterment. That is that when compulsion is used, only resentment is aroused; and nothing is gained. Only through moral suasion and appeal to man's reason can a movement succeed."

Mutuql Moulding & lumber Compony Exponding Under Brewer Monogement

On January 1, John Q. Brewer, a long-time employee of the Mutual Moulding and Lumber Company, Gardena, California, acquired the operating firm from his employers, S. F. and H. H. Hannon. Since he assumed'sole ownership of the wood products concern, things have been humming in all departments.

The four-acre plant is loaded with fine inventory and the mill is booming with orders. There has been no change in operations or policy. "We always maintain an inventory in excess of three million feet and, in addition to our custom millwork, we also offer the dealers complete dry-kiln facilities," said Mr. Brewer.

Mutual Moulding & I umber Company is ideally situated right on the Harbor Freeway at 152nd street. The plant is in the center of the southwest industrial area within mirr-

utes of the harbor area, downtown Los Angeles and all Southland cities and communities.

It requires the services of 25 production employes, three fork-lift trucks and seven units of modern remanufacturing eqiripment in the mill to keep stock moving through the plant.

The mill building, which houses two moulders, one new matcher, one resaw, one rip saw and a 3C[' planer, is one of the most modern in the Southland. For dry stock, an 18,300' and. a l2,OO0' warehouse occupy the central position in the yard for storage. Under the management of John Q. Brewer, things sure seem to be humming at Mutual.

Lake Marie Estates property, near Santa Barbara, has been rezoned to permit a development by Lake Marie Enterprises, Inc.

A $3.5 million,24-store shopping center is being planned in Bloomington, Calif., by Demos D. Shakarian & Associates.

Los Angeles Approyes New Flooring Pqnel

The city of Los Angeles building bureau has announced general. approval of 2.4.1 tongue-and-groove fir plywoocl panels in lieu ol 2x6 tongue-and-groo,ri lumber. tli. ,re* panels,-j.ointed either at the long edges or on all sides, act as combination subfloor and undirlayment and may be used over.girders_spaced.4 feet on cet.ttei. Cross blocking is not required with panels using the specially engineere-d joint.

All panels used under this approvit must bear ihe grading stamp of the Douglas Fii plywood Association.

The special lrfi-inch thick panels, approved for use with cross-blocking in 1956 by LoJ Angeles, ihould save 12 man hours per 1.000 square feet of floor, according to the ply- wood association.

The new joint, tested in the DFPA laboratories, was developed late in 1959 to meet obiection to the use of crossblocking. Lower surfaces of 2.4.i T&G surfaces provide an attractive beamed ceiling when used in basement houses. Finished floors, ranging from vinyl tile to carpet to solid oak strips, may be applied directly to the panels.

- Approval was issued by G. E. Morris, superintendent of Luilding for the Los Angeles Board of Building and Safety Commissioners.

A further suggestion by Pomeroy to rvember 13 for lfoo-Hoo's newlv utilize the week of organized "Forest Products Week." the same week as the NRLDA's first

November

We have purposely omitted the Hoo-Hoo tie-in to Wood Promotion awaiting the last national-level speaker, Mr. Hoo-Hoo himself, Jack S. Berry, chairman of HooIfoo's newly organized Wood Promotion Committee. Berry, noting that Hoo-Hoo was the first to join the National Wood Council, disclosed that .Snark Dick Scott has set his cap for a membership of 16,000 by the end of his term next September.

Berry also noted that Hoo-Hoo offers "Individual effort, person-to-person wood products promotion, a tremendously efiective kind of promotion that our competitors could never hope to acquire. Hoo-I{oo, currently 14,000 strong, is the logical vehicle for this promotion."

In addition to its activity with the NWC, Berry pointed to the strong idea section in the Log and Tally, the yellow sheet "Promotion Bulletin" which reaches the entire membership, bringing them up to date on what is being done on wood promotion throughout the country.

Berry also disclosed that a trophy (a beautiful handcarved, black walnut cat) will be presented each year to the club showing the best local promotion (this award was won by the Eigene-Willametfe club for'the best 1959 promotion).

Berry further noted that National Forest Products Week has become a reality largely through the efforts of Sacramento publisher, C. D. LeMaster. Official dates are October 16'through 22 and, in Canada, the Prime Minister will officially proclaim these dates at the urging of $nark Scott.

Chairman Bell then moved into the second phase of the program: "How can each Hoo-Hoo Club implement the NWPP?" In a philosophical vein, Chairman Bell noted: "Here we are, gentlemen, right at home, meeting once a month, tipping a few, listening to-occasionally-an athlete and, occasionally, a representative from a lumber association; maybe once in a while a movie on some topic far removed from lumber.

"Let's face.it-we make our living from lumber. We have a ready-made, well established organization,. a membership drawn from every phase of the industry. Let's put it to work to save our markets and, yes, our jobs !"

On the local level, honors must go to San Joaquin Valley

Hoo-Hoo Club 31 for the first concrete move in the direction of Wood Promotion. Introduced bv Bell. Wallv Kennedy of Fresno told the group how ilub ti naa'moved to the "grass-roots below the retailer."

The Club has written and published a children's book promoting the forest products industry. The book, which contains 450 words and 24 color illustlations, is aimed at the kindergarten to 8-year old group and is being distributed to Central Valley dealers-for $25 per 100. Dealers, in turn, are using the book as a "teaser" in their advertising by urging the kids to "bring mom and dad down to such-and-such a yard and get your free book now, etc."

,Kennedy reported advance sales on the first printing of 100,000 books were running strong, so it looks as if Club 31 is "off the ground."

ft's not gnoqgh to just sit back and say "Swell, let's pro- mote wood." Ideas come before action. So CRA's Owen Stebbins and his committee held a little "brainstorming" session before the meeting and following are a few ideas they came up with that Club 9 could wel put into action:

(1) Open up the regular monthly meetings to persons outside the industry-persons who benefit directtv or indirectly from lumbir iuch as bankers, insurance'people, machinery manufacturers, etc.;

(2) Create a good inteiesting wood products exhibit at a focal point in the City, possibly Golden Gate Park (in connection with this, Stebbins suggested a theme like "The Wonderful World of Wood" to be used throughout all local promotions; a theme girl could also be used to further increase interest, (naturally), and identify the project) ;

(3) Wood displays in the windows-of all leading department stores duiing Forest Products Week (or all during the year, for that matter) ; (4) let up a speakers bureau for local city clubs (Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109 has such a bureau now in operation) ; (5) Contact local travel agencies and work up interest in promoting tours and vacation trips through the sawmill country; (6) Get more mileage out of local press, radio and TV. Furnish them with finished, well-written press releases and glossies; while it's admittedly easier to "plant" items with the small-town press, even big-city editors will give the nod to interesting items if presented to them in the right manner.

Al Bell then outlined the purpose of his Watch-Dog committee: "To accomplish what we can in keeping wood in its rightful place among (a) building code otfrcials, 1b) insurance underwriters, and (c) specifiers for public agencies. Committee member Ted Talbot, who noted that "Fire is one of lumber's weakest points," briefly discussed a fire retardant promotion to "help keep wood from being discriminated against."

Dave Davis wound up the meeting by briefing the group on his "Promotion committee" which will soon set up the machinery to contact architects, builders, school boards and specifiers to make sure they have the necessary information on wood (interestingly enough, one of the suggestions offered by noted S. F. Architect Henry Hill at a Sacramento Hoo-Hoo club meeting last September-ClM, r0/r/se).

Davis noted that retailers would be encouraged to engage in this activity as well as all other Club 9 members.

Committee member John Prime noted that a speakers bureau, or information bureau if you will-where architects, builders and specifiers could get fast accurate up-to-date information on wood-would not only have the effect of promoting wood but it rvould also prevent improper use of lumber . and thus a black eye to "our product."

It was a long meeting, as you can see here, but one which will be remembered as the meeting where San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 followed the Eugene-Willamette, Sacramento and Fresno Hoo-Hoo Clubs "off the ground" and got "tooth and nail" into local wood promotion for the betterment of the industry . . and, yes, for the protection of our own jobs and businesses.

Thompson, a successful Lu-Re-Co dealer, in discussing pricing, noted that the real saving in the Lu-Re-Co method came "through repetition" (mass production methods). In looking into the next decade, Thompson also ventured that he felt doubtful that even here in the West would tract builders continue building as they do today. He forecast a drastic cut in on-site labor costs by use of component construction within the "next 5 or 10 years at the most."

DFPA's Sedgwick spelled it out a little more plainly when he told the group that, in his opinion, "there will soon be only three kinds of dealers: The component manufacturer, the cash-&-carry yard . and the bankrupt dealer."

Because more than SO/a of all the plywood manufactured

goes into home building, and because plywood is especially suitable for Lu-Re-Co construction, Sedgwick noted that the DFPA is vitally concerned in the development of the system. As a result, the Association has devel,oped a series of new home plans called the "Emblem Homei."

The "Emblem" series range in size from approximately 1,050 sq. ft. to over 2,000 sq. ft. in a variety of elevations, and are all designed especially for the Lu-Re-Co method. There are approximately 17 such "Emblem" plans available at this time and more to come this year.

The "Emblem" package is available from DFPA for $35.00 including plan book and all promotional literature. An additional $39.50 buys the blueprints. For moie information, dealers are urged to write the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn., 1119 "A" Street, Tacoma 2, Washington.

In addition to showing color slides of the entire "Emblem" series, Sedgwick also viewed some of the more suc-

In the Wednesday morning session, Sedgwick also covered the "Second-Home" market, the booming vacatior.r cabin trend which lends itself exceptionally welf to panelizing, or Lu-Re-Co construction.

Sedgwick disclosed that the DFPA will soon have some 20 different cabin plans available for Lu-Re-Co-minded dealers (look for a big OneA promotion on this a little later this year). Meanwhile, some 12 detailed cabin plans are currently available at LMA headquarters,24 Calilornia St., San Francisco.

Actual "down-to-earth" cost of the Lu-Re-Co package is in the neighborhood of $300. This includes all promotional literature, plans for the jig and truss tables and the first year's Engineering Bulletin and Lu-Re-Co shield. The shield, required under FHA financing, labels the supplier as an FHA-recognized shop, legally responsible for workmanship of the components in the job.

FHA inspection of the shop may be made at will and this, of course, eliminates the almost imoossible insoection job in the field after material has been cut. paneliz^ed and erected, many times with grade marks sawed off or hidden by siding applied to the panels back at the shop.

For further information regarding Lu-Re-Co in "black and white," it is suggested that interested dealers contact their local associations, or write Lumber Dealers Research Council, 1828 Jefferson Place, N.W., Washington, D.C.

Hormon F. ANAWAIT

Harmon Fred Anawalt,93, died February 2I at a Burbank sanatarium after a brief illness. He had retired nine years ago, at the age of 84, from the well-known Southern California retail lumber firm he founded ]n 1921.

"H. F.." as the veteran lumber dealer was known to everyone, was born in 1867 at Rock Island, Ill., and was in the lumber business nearly the entire span of his long life, active in the industry to the age of 84, when he was still going daily to his office at the Montrose yard of Anawalt Lumber & Materials Co. He started his career by operating retail yards in Kansas City, Mo., and Topeka, Kans., until 7921, when he went to California and started the first lumber yard in the foothills at Montrose. In the same year he opened a yard, at Tujunga, which has also operated continuously bver since and is now under the management of "H. F.'s" grandson, Bernard "Btizz" Anawalt, Jr. The third Anawalt yard soon followed at Pacoima and is now supervised by another grandson, Hal Anawalt. Mr. Anawalt was known and respected for his forthright opinions, which he expressed with frankness and vigor. He made his home in Glendale following his retirement.

He leaves six children : his sons-Bernard, president of the Anawalt Lumber & Materials Co. ; Bruce, of Oregon; H. F. "Fred" Anawalt, Jr., Pacific Palisades, and Howard, of Balboa; and two daughters-Mrs: Dorothy Myers, La Canada, and Mrs. Margaret Myers, Piedmont, who married brothers. The surviving 12 grandchildren and 1S-greatgrandchildren include the two grandsons Hal Anawalt, who is vice-president of the company, and Bernard Anawalt, Jr., who is secretary.

The late Mr. Anawalt was a Mason of. La Crescenta Valley Lodge 65 and a member of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. Masonic funeral services were conducted February 24, with interment at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

Louis B. NADEAU

Louis Brooks ("B") Nadeau, 65, died February 25 alter a lengthy illness. He was a longtime business associate and friend of Victor Roth, owner of the Triangle Lumber Company in Berkeley. Mr. Nadeau spent his entire career in lumber and came from the lVlichigan lumber community bearing the family name of Nadeau. After many years working beside his father in the family sawmill, Louis Nadeau moved to the West Coast. He spent several years with Wood Products Co. in Oakland and, in 1947, joined Triangle Lumber Company. He leaves his wife Helene of the home in Oakland, and his son Robert, also of Oakland. A brother still lives in Nadeau, Mich., where he is president of the bank. A sister of San Tose also survives.

Supplying Needs

Thomas Dreier wrote:

Accept the truth that humanity's continual efiort is to multiply goods materially. People are always asking for more. Give them what they want, supply their needs, and they turn to you and reward you. Your own supply is increased by increasing the supply of others. The more you help distribute, the more comes to you for distribution. Make a reputation for good work in any field, and demands will be made on you for more of that good work. People are always seeking more monejr, more health, more opportu- nity, more companionship-always more of something. They give good will to those who help them get what they want. The way to success is simple. All you do is supply needs.

The Fqrmer qnd the Mule

(First printed in these columns a generation ago)

Over a dusty, hot hill, there came a man working a muledrawn plow. The man stopped the mule to wipe the sweat from his own face, and spoke to the mule as follows:

"Bill, you're a mule, the son of a jackass. I'm a man, made in the image of God. Yet here we work, year in and year out, hitched together. Often I wonder if you work for me, or I work for you. By golly, I'm beginning to think this is a partnership between a mule and a fool. Don't I work as hard as you? We cover the same distance, but you do it on four legs, while I do it on two. I do twice as much work per leg as you do.

"Soon we'll be preparing the corn crop. When I get it harvested, I give one-third to the landlord for the right to work this land; one-third you get to eat, and one-third I get. You go ahead and eat all of your third, while I have to divide my third with seven kids, a cow, two ducks, and a banker. When we both need shoes, you're the one who gets 'em. And all you do is help plow this corn. I have to

cut it, shock, and husk it, while you look over the pasture fence and hee-haw at me. All winter long, me and the old woman save and do without so we can pay the interest on the mortgage and buy you a new collar.

"Bill, about the only time I'm your better is on Election day. Then I can vote and you can't. But after election I get to thinking that I was a jackass like your papa. I get to wondering if politics were made for men or jackasses; or to make jackasses out of men."

The free man inhabits a home with a name, The slave in a house with a number

The feet-footed caribou rests in the brake. The mole at the end of a furrow, The beaver abides in a hut on the lake. The woodchuck is warm in a burrow.
