He Fell Ofr

Some of the mountain farms in Tennessee stand almost on edge. One day a man driving down a highway, between two steep hillsides, came upon a young farmer apparently deep in thought who was plowing right alongside the highway. The gentleman drove up alongside of him, and said:

"Young,man, what are you plowing along this road for?"

Pock River Reolly 'Pocks'

One lumber manufacturing operation of Pack River Tree Farm Products picked an unlikely month to set an all-time shipping record ! The area where Pack River Lumber Company operates in far northern Idaho had below-average temperatures and above-average snowfall during January, yet shipped more cars of lumber than for any single month in the firm's 15-year history. Temperatures that sagged as low as 28 degrees below zero and snow that piled up as high as the eyeballs of the taller Indians hampered sawmill, pond, yard and dry kiln operations at three locations but failed to halt the record pace.

The young man driving the plow team looked up in startled surprise.

"Dad gum !" he said, "that's the third time I fell off of that farm today."

SCPI Anolyst Sees Construction High

Washington, D.C.1957 construction in the United States will reach a new high level, according to a special forecast report made by Dr. Robinson Newcomb, market analyst for the Structural Clay Products Institute. The physical volume of building will be about the same as in 1956, but building activity will increase about 2/o in current prices, Newcomb said.

1957 housing starts will be 1,050,000 as compared with 1,100,000 in 1956, h,e predicted. Newcomb sees home building continuing its slower pace during the first part ol 1957, with the possibility of a return to a more normal rate of 1,200,000 starts by the end of the year.
