Son Frqncisco Hoo-Hoo Also Welcome Snork on One-Doy Visit

Snark of the Universe Dick Scott also paid an official visit to San Francisco, February 24, and was guest of honor of Hoo-Hoo Club 9 at a luncheon in Marconi's restaurant. In this important year ,for the International Concatenated Order, the head Hoo-Hoo from Vancouver, British Columbia, has been instrumental, along with the Supreme 9 and Wood Promotion committee headed bv Tack Berry of Sacramento, in pledging the support of Hoo-Hoo to tire Wood Promotion cause. Snark Scott's visit to San Francisco followed by one week the all-out Wood Promotion meeting sponsored by S. F. Club 9 and attended by more than 720 Bay Area lumbermen (CLM, 3/L5/60). This and future promotions were discussed along with ideas successfully developed by other Hoo-Hoo clubs throughout the country. Snark Scott will travel some 25,000 miles on his I959-ffi tour of duty and contact most of the Order's clubs on local promotions.

A man had a fish tank made of glass, with a glass partition in the middle. On one.side of the partition he put a lively bass. On the other side he put a lot of brightly colored minnows. At first the-bass would try to catch the minnows but bumped his head every time.

Soon he became discouraged and quit trying to catch the minnows. Then the man, who was a philosopher, took the glass partition out of the tank. And the minnows swam around in entire safety. The bass never attacked them. He had become sold on the idea that business was bad. and there was nothing he could do about it.

lives are no bigger, broader, or more useful than our thoughts. We live exactly to the extent that we think. When we do something to make people think, we confer on them our biggest blessing. *

When we advertise we make people think. When we give the public new thoughts, we extend, enlarge, and broaden its living. Therefore we should strive to advertise new and interesting things about our business that mean something to the other fellow.

Charles Kingsley t"ft tiu *rlrta*tnis fine thought: "Never lose an opportunity of seeing something beautiful. Welcome it with every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower. and thank Him for it who is the fountain of all loveliness"t

And here is a thought from George Eliot: "There is no short-cut, no patent tramroad to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trod in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of olden times." ***

Oratory. Back in the gold rush days in early California, the Placer Herald, dated September 1852, quotes an oldtime preacher whose motto for good public speaking was: "Get chock-full of the subject, pull out the bung, and let her caper." A later orator, Wendell Phillips, said it this way: "Do you want to be an orator? First get you a great cause.tt

A thought worth reinembering: "When a jackass looks in a mirror, only a jackass can look back at him."

Two men were discus"in* lrr"rrl, and personalities on recent history. One asked: "Who do you think was the vilest monster, Stalin or Hitler?" And the other replied: "That's like trying to choose between a pestilence and a famine."

Edmund Burke, great Englishman of another day, said that a thinking man's best motto for life is "Nitor in Adversum," meaning, to make one's way with efrort. And this from a man of surpassing talent.

One of the finest compliments ever paid by a speaker to (Continued on Page 59)
