SN'T IT REMARKABLE, and at the same time isn't it depressing to realize how much like sheep the average humans are?

Content to follow the leader, wherever he might go. Lacking initiative, vision, the courage to think and do originally and independently, and differently, the average man goes through life, following in the footsteps of the plodders, hauling his load in the ruts that others have made by continued following of the same crack, never getting outside those ruts, never seeing beyond the fences that others have built along the way-just plodding.

You say to such a business man, "How is your business?"and he replies, o'Business is slow right now, but I guess I haven't any right to expect it to be otherwise; Jones across the street tells me that he is in the same fix, and the rest of the men in my line around town tell me the same thing, so I guess we are in the sam'e boat. I am in hopes things will pick up soon, but they haven't done it yet."

That's the attitude t ,n. *"r*" ;". A sort of dry leaf on the tree o{ humanity, taking it for granted that the winds that blow will send him hither or thither, hoping that things will turn out all right, watching his neighbor and competitor and satisfied if he fares about like they do, and sort of instinctively resigned to the thought that things are pre'destined to be a oertain way, and he can't change them.

THAT"S the average man. And when he gets a tretter vision of himself and his afiairs and puts that vision into practice, he rises above the bunch of AVERAGE MEN, and people begin to point to him as a man who is UNUSUAL.

BY JACK DIONNE

average man, unless it is the sin of omission that he continues to commit. But the parable of the ten talents finds him wanting.

He has been given " -r"U a ,n*U with, a will to do with, brains and hands to work with. and there isn't a restriction around him except imaginary ones created by precedent. But he follows the same road that others have followed, sinks a little deeper in the same ruts that others have been making before him, takes it for granted that this is his limitation, and seldom does he try to get out of the rut, jump the fence, and try a new road. So heavy is he burden of established precedent.

But what fun it is to try the other things, to get in the unusual class, to be YOUR sort of a man, doing things in YOUR way, thinking with YOUR brain your own thoughts, and taking for granted the fact that you are FREE and not an automaton.

The world owes all .f to ;.g;r", Jt, o, its improvements, to men who get tired of rut riding, and cut loose for themselves. It is men who won't follow, who won't be held down, who won't let other people think for them, won't have their destinies directed by folks now dead, who make the world worth living in.

Every now and then ,"-" OtU .orl, "o-.. along and tears down what formerly looked like a stone wall, and we find that it was only a tissu,e of falsehood and unreality, and the world goesforward' * * * * skies still still

If it were not for such men the world would still be flat. the would still be peopled with jealous gods, the earth would be overrun with devils and superstition, and mankind would be mental, physical and spiritual slaves.

There isn't anything downright SINFUL about being just an DO SOMETHING every day, to get out of the rut !

Lumbermqn of the Yeor?

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, through the foresight oI its outstanding executive vice-president, Jack Mulrooney, has scheduled its annual meeting April 27-29 at Boca Raton, on the beach in southern Florida, where pleasure can be successfully combined with business. As we were contemplating the joys of reporting this meeting, we got thinking about what the association and what Jack Mulrooney had done for the lumber industry, and believe us it adds up .-big.

This last year has seen a lot of changes in grademarking practices. Let's see why. Back in 1956 NAV/LA adopted a resolution urging that all lumber be grademarked, suggesting that abuses existed at that time. In 1961 FHA adopted a rule requiring grademarked lumber in all FHA structures. By 1964 abuses by authorized grading agencies, particularly on the East Coast, was common knowledge, and the American Lumber Standards, in the opinion of some, had failed in its responsibility to police these agenci,es. At this point, spearheaded by Jack Mulrooney, local NAWLA mernbers and certain interested retailers in the New York area, organized to report fraudulent practices to ALS, hoping to stave ofi drastic action by law and 'building code officials.

They started iust in time. Several indictments have been made and the violations corrected. Building code officials, appalled at the fraudulent activities of certain unscrupulous lumber suppliers, organized to enforce rules and indict offenders, even going so far as to suggest they should license local approved grading agencies. You can see where this would lead. Thanks to Mulrooney's foresight in organizing local groups and in contacting all cargo mills and national and regional associations, outlining the problems and urging grademarking of. all dimension lumber, recent industry action has been taken to

(I) reorganize and strengthen ALS so that it can function as a policing agency, and (2) grade stamp all dimension lumber at the mills.
