Folks and Me f I don't know why this should be so, f But just the same I always know-

.ft's a funny thing, but true, lFolks you don't like, don't like you.

I If I'm sour, friends are few;

I ft t'm friendly, folks are too.

\ I Sometimes I get up in the morn,

Wishing I was never born;

V Make of cross remarks a few, Then my family wish, too, That I'd gone some other place, Stead of showing them my face. But just.let me change my tune, Sing and smile, then pretty soon, Folks around me sing and smile, Sure, it's catching, all the while. Yes, it's funnl but it's true, Folks you like will sure like you.

Three Good Maxims

The Humcn Touch

It's the human touch in the world that counts. The touch of your hand and mine, That means far more to the fainting heart, Than shelter or bread or wine. For shelter is gone when the night is o'er, And bread lasts only a day, But the touch of the hand

And the sound of the voice. Live on in the soul alway.

He Knew Her

The colored brother was before his draft board, answering questions about his condition and status. The chairman of the board glared at him accusingly. He said:

"Mose Hawkins, when you were here last week and we talked to you and asked you questions, you said that you had no dependents. Now we find that you, are married. F{ow come you told us you had no dependents, when you knew you. had a wife?"

"Cap'n Suh," said Mose, his face the picture of distress. "You nevah did ast me did I have a rvife. er I woulda tole you dat I had. You jes asted me did I have any deependents, an' I done tole you. no becuz, Suh, dat 'ornan Ain't in de leas' wise dee-pendable ! Nossuh, I'm tellin' you de truf, Suh ! NOT IN DE LEAS'."

The Rebel

I walked on the hill-top on Sunday, on Sunday, The bells pealed below me from valley and plain; I walked to gain courage for work-a-day Monday, To the hill-tops, the lone lands, the bells come again.

Mayhap in the churches tnffirog{^,they prove Him, The preachers say on. {ay,,gf"ir God we shall see; I see Him, I feel Him, I knY{' Him, I love Him, When out on the hill-top, God preaches to me.

And down in the churches the people, the people Sit tightly in rows just like peas in a pod; "And, oh, you're a heathen," comes up from each steeple, "Who walk on the hill-top to commune with God."

-By Vera Wheatley.

No Short Cut to Wisdom

There is no short-cut, no patent tram-road, to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help,- as it was trodden by them.of old time.

Harbor Plywood Buys Large Tract of Virgin Timber--Will Build New Pfant

Hoquiam, Wash., March 21-Harbor plywood Corpora_ tion of Hoquiam, Washington, through its president, E. W. Daniels, today announced the purcl-rase of over 26,00O acres of virgin timberlands in Skamania County, Washington. This acreage, according to the conservative cruises of the 1930's, contains nearly 730,000,000 board feet of the highest grade timber which this state has ever produced, over half of the stand being Douglas fir of excellent quality.

Lelt to right: R. S. Whitley, H. C. Snyder

Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork, recently announced some manag'ement personnel changes in their organization, which r,r'ere brought about by the retirement of two well knolvr.r C--urtis executives. These changes affect the Clinton, Iowa, :rrrcl Minneapolis, Minnesota, Divisions of the Curtis, in<1ustry.

G. L. Curtis, company president, announced that It. S. Wl-ritley, vice president in 'char$e of production at the Curtis Clinton, Iowa, plant, *ill.retire on April l, 1947. Mr. \ /hitley has been associated with the Curtis organization since 1912, and has been one of its vice presidents since 1919. As vice president, he l.rad several functions and responsibilities which will be distributed among other exccutives and departments. Particularly, he has cl.rarge of production at the Clinton plantl l-Iarold Purvis, Curtis Division l\fanager at Minneal>r.rlis, rctirecl on February I, 1947. He has been rvith Curtis since 1918. For several years he was rvith the Clinton Sales I)ivision, going to Minneapolis as manager in 1928.

In making this announcement, Mr. Curtis also statecl that IJ. C. Snyder rvill succeed N[r. Whitley in charge of nrarrufacturing at the Clinton plant. Mr. Snyder for many 1'cars has functioned as I\{r. Whitley's assistant and in cxpcrience and training is well qualified to carry on in his rrcw capacitr'. Mr. Snyder has been rvith Curtis Clinton Division since 1910.

I-I. O. Sugg has been appointed to succeed Mr. Purvis as Division Manager at Minneapolis and assumed the duties of management on February l. Mr. Sugg has been a mernhet of the Curtis Clinton organization since 1924, first in various departments of the Clinton of;fice and factory, and l;rter in charge of difterent eastern sales territories.

Curtis Companies fncorporated maintains a retiremcnt p'an for all employees, which benefits are available at speci1,ccl :rgcs.

Alternate sections and contiguous areas, owned by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, contain several billions of feet of comparable high grade timber, and Harbor Plywood Corporation rvill take imrnediate steps to cooperate u'ith the Forest Service in promoting the conservation and best use of its orvn and Forest Service timber in that area.

The acquisition of this timber by Flarbor plywood Corporation was effected by the purchase from the peterman interests of the contract originally entered into by the Northern Pacific Raih,vay Company and the late Al peterman, in 1943, as a result of negotiations covering a periocl of several years, during which a program for the complete utilization and greatest possible conversion of the timber was proposed. To achieve this objective, a plywood plant, sarvmill, door plant and shingle mill, rvith necessarv power plants and housing facilities, are planned.

Dillard C. Salley, an associate of Mr. petennan for over twenty years, and in charge of the operations of the peter_ man Manufacturing Company for a long period of time, has joined the Harbor Plywood organization and u.ill be in charge of the construction and operation of this nen, project. Mr. Salley has an enviable reputation in lurnber circles in the Pacific Northwest as a progressive and successful operator.

I{arbor Ply.lvood Corporation contemplates naming this nerv operation the Lervis River Division of Harbor pl_vrvood Corltoration.

I{arbor Plyrvood Corporation's position rvith respect to rarv materials was greatly improved by the purchase of thc Pacific National Lumber Company's timber at National, Washington, in 1944, and by the purchase of approximately 18,000 acres of timberlands in Douglas County, Oregon, in tlre latter part ol 7946 and early 1947. With this present purchase of the Peterman timber, a long-range operation, extending over many years, is assured, and with the completion of the additional manufacturing facilities, the sales volume will be approximately doubled.

Harbor Plywood Corporation's ten branch distributing houses, and its sales offices, located throughout the United States in principal cities, will market this increased volume.
