Thc time hal come, the Walrur eaid, To epcak of manY things, Of chqcre, and rats, and bureaucrate' And infuence'Peddling ringe.

' Three newspaper reportcrs walked aide by side out of the room where the Fulbright Committee of thc United States Senate war prying-with nose held firmly between thumb and forefinger-into the afrairs of thc once honorable and highly ugeful Rcconstruction Financc Corporation' One of them said to the other two: "You boys were inclined to doubt the rumors concerning RFC; what do you think of it now?" The second newsPaper rcportcr said: "It stinkst" And the third said: "f don't think it smells that good t"

*

Thcy had been listening to testimony that would make an old-time bunco-steerer pale with envy, and a half-honest pickpocket hide his head in shame. It was testimony that caused Senator Fulbright to declare, with sorrow and regret, to his colleagues in the Senate, that "what America needs is a promPt return to the simple honesty and principles of the Pilgrims and the Founding Fathers." And his words and manner indicated that in his opinion the return trip would be a long and difficult one.

He said hc had discovered that it was not simply legal or legislative matters they had run up against in their investigation, but a great and shocking moral problem created by those who seek or grant favors in governmental matters which "offend the spirit of the law but do not violate its letter." They found that the ethics surrounding RFC affairs were to say the least, of questionable character.

To the writer who read and heard everything that came to hand on the RFC investigation, that governmental unit seemed to have much the same idea of ethics as the retail merchant in the old, old story. He was explaining to his son what "ethics" means. He said: "Suppose a customer comes in and buys some goods and gives me a ten dollar bill to pay for them, and leaves. After he is gone I find there is a second ten dollar bill stuck to the back of the first one, so I have twenty dollars instead of ten. Ethics means, do I put the extra ten dollar bill in my pocket and say nothing, or do I put it in the cash drawer and have to divide it with my partner?"*

What Senator Fulbright said to his fellow Senators is an opinion you can hear repeated in a variety of words but all with the same meaning from the lips of a hundred

and fifty miltion American citizenr wherever they gather togcther; and from all thc decent newlPapers of the nation; thc demand for a return to "simple honerty in government" in thia country. It looks like "red herring" when a red is caught red-handed, or "asinine" whcn the croohg arc taking over our fattrer's temple, will not be gufficient answer from now on. It is inconceivable that anyone can fail to hear that rieing chorus.

*

A young Congreseman from Cdifornia busted out the other day with suggestiong on how to Eecure an RFC loan. Hc told his colleagues in the Houge of Repreeentatives about it. He facctiously covered various of the types of chicanery exposcd by the Fulbright Committee. Among other things he suggested that the applicant be prepared to make a generous contribution to the Democratic National Committee; get acquainted with and employ the services of. a7/2 percenter since 5 p€rcenters have raised their rates; give some White House steno a mink coat; invite RFC big shots to expensive hotels and pick up the checks; employ RFC men at high salaries after getting a loan; and if you can't find an RFC man right quick, look in the pocket of some peddler of infuence. Thes€ were just a part of the Congressman's suggestions.

Of course being Americans, the public has had lots of fun over the RFC matter, too. Few events in Washington history have excited more comment than the nine thousand dollar mink coat the White Hoirse steno got. The laughs and gags on that subject still echo back and forth across the country. And soon, as thousands of gag-men said, "the mink coat got too hot to y.Ir'

In the meantime American boys by the thousand continue to fight and fall in Korea in a war that was recently likened to a football game in which one team was entirely free, while the other was not allowed to cross the ten yard line of the opposition. Recently General MacArthur called on the commander of the Chinese Communist forces in Korea to meet him in the field and discuss ending the Korean war. A roar of criticism swept skyward. The General had exceeded his authority. And promptly the Communist killers were told by our own side that thev had nothing to fear because we have no intention, as MacArthur had suggested, of carrying the war to the Communists on the other side ?t al. Yalu River.

Yes sir, the Commies were told not to worry about anything of the kind. The U.N' wouldn't allow it. So the sweet Communists have been assured that they can retire to the other side of the line to gather forces and supplies,

, Nora Wdn ("The Strcet of Preciour Pearh," "The House of Exile," "Reaching For the Stan,") is touring the United States, mahing specches, and in magnificent fashion she ie asking Americans for hclp and support for ttre almost countlese thousandg of war-orphaned children of Korea. Shc spoke in Dallas, and rc effective were her efrortr that Lynn Landrum, columnist extraordinary for the Dallas Newg, almost burst a G-etring in his enthusiasm. Because of the wonderful things she tells concerning the American effort in the Korcan war, the readers of this column will, I bclieve, feel repaid many times over for giving Mr. Landrum's remarks careful digestion, for some of ttrese things have not been told before, and they are things we all need to know'

(Mr. Landrum wrote): "Nora Waln delivered in Dallas this week quite the finest hour-long report on American relations in the Orient that the Columtator has heard. Miss Waln's address, if it could be heard by all America, would solidify our foreign policy over night. In all seriousness the suggestion is made to the Department of State. Miss Waln, with a speaking knowledge in Chinese (in four or five dialects), Japanese and Korean, has lived in the homes of the people of whom she talks. She has known Mao Tsetung, Syngman Rhee, Douglas MacArthur, and many others of the moving factors in the Orient at first hand and for some time.

"She went up with troops in the battle line dl the way to the Yalu River-and came back with them when they came back. She has almost single-handedly looked after hundreds of Korean orphan children. She has talked to high brass, plain GI's, Koreans, Turks, British, Dutch, captured prisoners and what not. She has fown over Korea on reconnaissance missions many times. From blood and filth to guts and glory, she knows*the*whole of it.

"Nora Waln says that Lt. Gen. Arthur MacArthur took his son Douglas with him to the Orient to train him for future usefulness in a theatre which, the older MacArthur was convinced, would be vital to the existence of the United States and of the world. If Douglas MacArthur calmly assumes that the Lord called him for his present work, that may be the reason. * *

"Ffow magnificently Douglas MacArthur has wrought in Japan is shown by what has happened. When the General was belatedly given charge after the invasion of South Korea, he stripped Japan of American soldier-clerks and Military Police to man the Korean battle line- and not a Japanese hand was raised in revolt. Instead, Japanese handled heavy loads at Japanese landing fields for American

crclvt, and rlipped away at night not.arking pay or GvGn lcaving their namcr. Othcr ruch volunteer workerl rcrubbed floorr in hotpltalr and rtood in line to givc-givc not rell-their blood for the aid of wounded Unitcd Nationr roldicrr. Even rmell children ttood in line asHng that thcir blood, too, be takcn. For a timc TWO THIRDS OF THE FRESH BLOOD USED WAS JAPANESE BLOOD FREELY GMN.

"The troopt, too, Nora Wdn says, have bcen magnificent. Their bravery has been equal to thc best-and she wae with Patton's troops in Europe when Patton was on the prowl with aU his armor. True, the clerka and typists didn't know modern war when thcy began, any more than the South Korcans did. But they learned the hard way' and they lcarned quichly. MacArthur'e strategy throughout, Miss Waln bclieves, has been daring; but she believes he was right throughout. She thinks it is paying now. Her conception of the mission of the United Nations is to clear all Korea of thc enemy, occupy it in the spirit of the MacArthur occupation of Japan, and make the Koreans our friends as the Japanese are today." (End of Landrum's column.)

The writer of this piece feels that he has learned much from the above editorial on the missioh of Nora Waln; that he has added much from these few paragraphs, to his perspective of our Oriental situation. And he looks forward to hearing Miss Waln tell her story.

In the Fashion Sltow, original California creations were presented by Blue Book models. Grace Beardsley at the microphone provided fashion comments. Signa Jones was in charge of special arrangements. Emmeline Snively was presentation director

Orval Stewart, Davidson Ply'ivood & Lumber Co., Los Angeles, introduced the first speaker, Dr. Ray E. Untereiner, economist, California Institute of Technology, whose subject was "What's Around the Corner." The speaker

said that now that Communism is receding in Western Europe as a result of improvement in conditions in those countries that have been helped by the Marshall Plan, the Russian objective to gain world domination by infiltration is not u'orking out. Since Russia understands only force' the best thing that can happen is for this country to complete its re-armament program, Dr. Untereiner said. As long as this program continues we will have things rve don't like, such as higher taxes, inflation. more governnrent control, and regimentation. The completion of the program is the best insurance against war with Russia.

Wayne Mullin, Mullin Lumber Company, Los Angeles, director of the Association, presided for the remainder of the session. He introduced the speaker, Ralph W. Carney, retired vice president of The Coleman Company, Wichita, Kansas, who addressed the convention on "New Strength For America."

Mr. Carney protested against the continual diet of fear that is being fed to the people of the United States, and said the best antidote to this is faith in ourselves and in our country. He told in detail of the great advances made in material things by this country in the past 5O years, and compared Russian production and accomplishment with the far greater produ'ction in the United States. Then he asked: "Have we advanced morally and spiritually in the same proportion."

In conclusion he said that a country can only be as good as its individuals, its families and its communities, and gave a list of 12 locel obligations for all communities, which if carried out will result in improvement in the communitl', and the nation.

Attendance prizes were awarded to the men, and the convention adjourned at 3:30 p.m.

"The Customer i:s King," was the title of an address by Gertes W. Ferguson, director of advertising for The Celotex Corporation, Chicago.

In giving

his iden of hol thc customer sltould be treated Mr. Gates laid strcss on thc impression created by the voice that :rns\\'ers the dealer's phone. He told how one Chicago yard ha<l incrcascd is business 34 per cent in 60 days after adeqriatc customer parking had been provided. Out of his experiencc and observation he saicl that 30 per cent of the n:rtion's luntber dcalcrs have finc model yards, lO per ccnt should bc burned dorvn, and 60 per cellt nce<l to do lrcttcr nrerctranrlising an<l advcrtising.

I\{r. Cain criticized the United Nations. Men are taking part in the discussions there rvhose countries have contributed nothing to the fight against aggression. he said.

time, indicating a demand nearly equal to last year's alltinrc recorcl high shipments.

U. S. Senator Harry l'. Cain of Washington state was thc principal banquet speaker, talking on the subject, "Are wc building an adequate defense for western Europe?"

Retail lumbermen will be the stars of the l95l national advertising and trade promotion carnpaign on West Coast woods revealed at I'ortland, Oregon on March D and 3O before the stockholders of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association at their annual meeting.

Members mills sponsoring this successful program' now entering its sixth year, were told of plans to continue fullcolor advertising in the nation's t<lp general magazines the balance of l95l and of details for specialized campaigns in other magazines on schools, farm dwellings and homes.

H. V. Sirhpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said advertising would point up lumber's srrperior qualities in school construction to help retail lumbermen cash in on the 10-yeitr, $15 billion school construction program.

Shorvn the first tirre at the annual W.C.L.A. stockholders' meetings were two new booklets to help retailers sell lumber, Simpson reporied. One is the most beautiful booklet yet published by the Association, an S-page, full-color "Beautiful Homes of Wood." "How to Build Farrn Buildings That Last Longer" is a new l6-page farm booklet to help the sale of lumber in rural areas. Both of these booklets are being featured in current magazine advertising.

Simpson said West Coast woods advertising would continue to feature the retail lumberman as the n'rost important man in the lumber picture. All advertising urges customers, home builders, farmers and others to consult their retailer for full details.

Lumbermen were warned to be ready for a serious freight car shortage of extr:.r long duration during the summer and fall of 1951. Shipping space for cargo mills is still short of that needed to carry lumber already sold or in prospect. Heavy shipments of early spring are part of an effort of many retailers to keep bins filled against a possible summer slow-down of lumber movement because of lack of cars.

Corydon Wagner, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, of St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma, and George M. Fuller, vice president, N.I-.M.A., Washington, D.C., spoke on national problems of the lumber indusrry.

West Coast millmen said prospects for a heavy demand for lnnlber from this area during l95l u'ere bright at tl-ris

Ilillman Lueddemann, I'ortland, vice president and gcncral manager of the lumber division of Pope & Talbot, Inc., was named president of the West Coast Lumbermen't 4tsociation at the close of the two-day meet.

Ju<ld Greenman, president of Oregon-American Lumber Co., Vernonia, was named vice president for Oregon and G. E. Karlen, general manag'er, Eatonville Lumber Co., vice president for Washington. W. B.

The experience of Associated Plywood Mills dates frcm L92I. That is a long time in the relatively young plywood industrylong enough to mark APMI as one of the pioneers in the development and growth of this importanr building product.

The rich, rain forests of Oregon yield the fine Douglas fir that comes to APMI mills. These mills are among the largest and most modern in the plywood industry. They produce quality exterior and interior panels that are grademarked and trademarked.

APMI plywood is, available in major building and distriburion areas. Your inquiries are welcomed at our general offices, or at APMI sales warehouses.

Adminirtrrtivc Chenge Madc

San Francisco, Mar. l5-The U. S. Forest Service announced today that administrative shifts will be made April I for certain areas of the Shasta. Klamath and Modoc national forests.

Regional Forester Clare Hendee said "The transfer of certain areas is part of a reorganization plan that has been in progress since 1947 when the Six Rivers National Forest was formed on the western drainages of the Coast Range. The main purpose is to save money by taking advantage of newer roads and communication facilities, equilizing the work loads of the forests, and simpiifying our pragrams for developing and administering the forest resources.

"The transfer will not affect existing permits or agreements with forest users."

Administration of the Scott River drainage in Scott ranger district of Shasta National Forest will be transferred to Klamath National Forest. Mr. Hendee said this will permit full integration of timber resource development in the South Fork of the Salmon River with the southern portion of Scott Valley, and will unify the soil conservation program and water resource management of the entire Scott Valley as now. being carried out in cooperation with the U. S. Soil Conservation Service. As the Klamath's headquarters is in Yreka, the normal trading center for Scott Valley, this change will also result in a close tie between Yreka and the timber and grazing industries in southern Scott Valley.

Other administrative shifts are:

...Yet it's the FlllEST that's produced !

Economy as well as uniform high quality in vertical grain siding require carefully planned production and handling through every step from forest to your yard. The Pacific Lumber Company selectively cuts each Redwood log to obtain the most of the best texture and grain for siding. Scientific air drying is followed by carefully regulated seasoning in temperature and humidity controlled dry kilns. Experienced experts grade finished Palco Redwood Siding after it is run to pattern, assuring uniform grade. Manual handling is eliminated by every known mechanical and automatic deuice. This not only minimizes mars and scars, but also maintains modern production economies which are directly reflected in lower price. Yet you can sell palco Vertical Grain Redwood Siding confidently as the finest that's produced-at any price.

Bod Hendriclaon Beinrtctcd In Hoo'Hoo

As many of our readers kqow, Rod Hendrickson left tlre lumber business in San Francisco in 1929 to take up .the exciting business of radio acting, later getting into the writing and commenting end of the game and making r success of it. New York called, for some eight years now, and he not only has his own program, "The Rod Iiendrickson Show," on some 50 stations in the Iiast, but alsrr appears in leads and supporting roles on most all of the top productions coming out of that cente:.

On one of his programs, about a month ago, Rod referred to his former membership in Hoo-Hoo' F<tllowing this there canre two letters, one from Robert J. Stalker' Supreme Senior Hoo-Hoo, of Quincy, Mass.' and the other from Wm. V. Mason of the Roger Williams Hoo-Htxr Club of Riverside, Rhode Island' They asked, "horv come you know so mttch about us."

lkrd answered both letters telling them that he rvits Vicege:ent Snark during 191.5 rvhen the \\forl<l's Fair rvas lreld in San Francisco, the sanre year he was elected tt-r the Supreme Nine and tu'o years later to metnbership in the Osirian Cloister. He also informed them tl'rat he is vicc president and treastlrer of the Templeton F-ttrrritttre Company of llrattlelloro, Vt.. of which his ttlclest son is llresident.

Just recently Rod was reinstated into Htxr-l{oo. His rrrenrbe:ship dates back to l9l2 and his number is ?0744. From what we hear he is tickled over this and the cntlre New York radio industry is learning a lot about Hoo-Hoo these days.

\(/crtcrn Pinc Shipmcntr Gain ln Fint Qucrtcr

Portland, Ore., March 30--The following report of first (luarter, 1951, production and bhipments of Western Pine Iiegion lumber and lumller products and estimate of proballte second quarter shipments were reteased today by S. V' liullaway, Jr., secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, Portland. The report covereil Idaho white pine, ponderosa pine, sugar pine and associated woods. The staternent in full:

"As was pointed out in our first quarter l95l forecast, there was much doubt and uncertainty as the new year began. Tightening of construction credit by the Federal government, controls restricting some types of building and, actual or potentiat, shortages of metals essential in residential construction were unfavorable factors in the Iumber dernand outlook. Our prediction at that time rvas that a substantial reductit>n in shipments would occtlr <lurrng the first quarter as corrrpared to the same 1950 period'

"Such a decline in the clemand for our product has n<>t nraterialized. The source of recent lumber demand has been puzzling, There has undoubtedly been some "sc:Ire" or advance buying, as may be indicated by recent increases in retail yard inventories. A rush to complete federally financecl low down-payment housing, while essential metals, other materials and labor were still obtainable, has prollallly been a factor. Generally favorable weather in otlr region, as well as in some large consunring areas, has also contribu?ed.

"It is now apparent that tl-re Western Pine industry will h:rve produced approximately 1,310 million feet and shipped 1,500 million during the first three months of 1951' Ihe latter is 74 million , or 5f per cent above the deliveries in the first cquarter a year ago. Regional stocks as of March 3lst are estimate<l at 1,261 rnillion, down 190 million since Janu:rry 1, 1951.

"Althottgh the number of housing units started so far this year compares favorably with that for the same 1950 period, there zrre now indications of some decline' February starts tvere 8 per cent less than those in January and 3 per cent below the February 1950 level' Some observers anticipate a good volume of residential construction through April but believe it entirely possible that housing starts may decline rapidly thereafter' This, and the apparent lack of defense requirements for lumber at a level which would ofiset the expectecl decline in the housing field' seem to indicate a slowing clon'n of lumber demand as the second cluarter Progresses'

,.Rasedonsuchfactorsanda]lotheravailableinforma_ tion, it now seems probable that during the second quarter of 1951 shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western line ,egion will approximate 1,800 million' This rvill be 13j/2 per cent uncier that of the record high second quarter oi tqSO. t" making this prediction it is recognized that such influences upon lumber demand as international de:,r"top-"ntr, changing government c-ontrol policies' or the play of politics, cannot be foreseen "

Brilliant Eulogy To A Gambler

(Scvcrd ycarl ago crccr?tr from thc following frrnour fiulcrel oration wcrc printcd in thir rpecc. Sincc thcn rnany requcrtr hevc comi for thc cntirc tcxt of thc rpccch. Hcre it ic. Thir thrllling oration wrr delivcred at thc grave of a vcry famour gamblcr ud horrcrace plungcr, Riley Grannan, at Rawhidc, Nevada, on April 3rd, 190E. Thc rpcahcr war H. W. Knickcrboclcr, later a Mcthodirt minirtcr, of Hourton, Torar. It ir a rcrapbook picce of thc highcrt ordcr, and thrillr every lovcr of humen cloqucncc, which fact justificg itc printing hcrc.)

I fecl that it is incumbcnt on mc to ttatc that in standing hcrc I occupy no minigterial or prelatic poaition. I am dmply a protpector. I makc no claimr whatcvcr to moral merit or religion Gxcept the rcligion of humanity, tfic brothcrhood of man I stand among you todly rimply as a man arnong men, fceling that I can rhake hands and lay "brother" to thc vilcst man or woman that ever lived. If therc rhpuld comc to you anything of moral admonition through what I ray, it comes not from any !cn8e of moral supcriority, but from the depth of my expccicncc.

Riley Grannan war born in Paris, Kentucky, about forty yea;r ago. I suppole he drcamcd all the dreams of boytlood. They blossomcd into phenomenal succers dong financial linee at timcs during his life. I am told that from the position of bellboy in a hotel he rose to be a celebrity of world-wide fame. He was one of the greatest plungerr, probably, that t$e continent has ever produced. He died day before yesterday in Rawhidc. This is a very brief statement. You have thc birth and the period of the 8rave. Who can fill in the interim? Who can speak of his hopce and fcars? Who can solve ifie mystery of his quiet hours that only himself knew? I can not,

fle was born in the Sunny Southland, where brooks and rivers run musically through thc luxuriant soil; where the magnolia grandifora like white stare grow in a firmament of green; where crystal lakes dot the gleensward, and the Boftbet summer breezet dimple the wave-lips into kisseg for the lilies of the ehore; where the air is resonant with the warbled melody of a thousand sweet-voiced birds and rcdolent of the perfume of many fowers. This wae the beginning. He died in Rawhide, where in winter thc shoulders of the m'ountains are wrapped in garments of ice, and in summer the blistering rays of the sun beat down upon the skeleton ribs of the desert.

When I see the ambitions of man defeated; when I see him struggling with mind and body in the only legitimate prayet he can make to accomplish some end; when I rce his aim and purpose frustrated by some fortuitous combination of circumstances over which he has no control; when I see the out-stretched hand just about to grasp the flag of victory, take instead the emblem of dcfeat, I ask: What is Life? Dreams, awakening, and death; a pendulum 'twixt a smile and a tear; a momentary halt within the waste and then the nothing we set out from; a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing; a child-blown bubble that but refects the light and shadow of its environment and is gone; a mockery, a lie, a fool's vision; its happiness but Dead Sea apples; its pain the crunching of a tyrant's heel?

He was a man whose €xterior was as placid and gentle as I have ever known; and yet, when we look back over his meteoric past we can readily understand that he was absolutely invincible in spirit. If you will allow me I will use a phrase most of you are acquainted with: he was "a dead game sport." I say it not irreverently, but fill the phrase as full of practical human philosophy as it will hold, and I believe that when you say one is "a dead game sport" you have reached the climax of human philosophy.

I know there are those who will condemn him. There are those who believe today that he is reaping the reward of a missoent life. They are those who ar- dominated by medieval creeds. To those I have no words to say in regard to him. They are ruled by the skeleton hand of the past, and fail to see the moral beauty of a character lived outside their own puritanical ideas. His goodness

was not thc typc that reachcd thc highclt manifeetation in any cercmonial piciy-. Hie goodncrs, I ray,-wal not of that. typ€, bu! of the type lhat findg cxlrecion in a word of cheer- to a dhcouraged brotheri -thc rypc tlrat hndr cxprersiron in fricndship, the sweet-clt flowcr ihat gro-ws along thc durty highway of life; the type that finds expreraion in manhood.

He lived in a world of sport. I do rrot mincc rny wordg' -I am telling what I belicve to bc true. In the world of -sport-- hilarity somclimes and maybc wors+hc left the imprcre of hir charactcr on this wodd, and through thc mcdium of hie financial power he was able with his money to brightcn the livce of its inhabitants' He waated it, so the world rayr. But, did it evcr occur to "ou thet the most rinful men and women who livc in this world are still men and women? A little happinesr brought into their liveg means ae much to them as happineeJ brought into the livee o! t-he gtr'aiglt and the sood. If you can take one ray of sunlight into their night-life and thereby bring them one single hour of happiness, I belicve you are a bcnefactor.

Riley Grannan may have "wasted" some of his money in this way. Did you ever stop to think how God dbes not put all His sunbeams into corn, potatoeE, and flour? Did you ever notice the prodigality with which He scattets these sunbeams over the universe? Contemplatet Grod fings the auroral beautiee round the cold ehoulders of the North; hangs the quivering picture of the mirage above the palpitating heart of the desert; scatters the gunbeams like lamellated gold upon the booms of myriad lakes that gem the verdant robe of nature; spangles the canopy of night with star-jewels, and silvers the world with the refected beams from Cynthias mellow face; hangs thc gorgeous crimson curtain of the Occident across tfie sleeping-room of the eun; wakes the coy maid of dawn to step timidly from the boudoir to climb the stepa of the Oricnt and fing wide-open the gates of the morning. Then' tripping o'er the landscapg kissing the flowers in- het fight, s_tre wakes ihe-birds to herdd with their music the coming of her King' who floods the world with refulgent gold.

Wasted sunbeams these? I 8ay to you that the man who by the use of his money is able to smoooth one wrinkle from the brow of care, is able to change one moan or sob into a song, is able to wipe away one tear and in its place put a jewel of joy-that man is a public benefactor. I beteve that some of ,Riley Grannan's money was "wasted" in this waY.

As we stand in the presence of death, we have no knowledge, but always, no matter how dark the gloomy clouds hang before me, there gleams the star of hope. Let us hope, therl that it may be the moining star of eternal day. It is dawning somewhere all the time. Did you ever stop to think that this old world of ours is constantly swinging into the dawn? Down the grooves of time, flung by the hand of God, with every revolution it is dawning somewhero all the time. Let this be an illustration of our hope. Let us believe that in the developmerrt of the human soul as it swings forward toward its destiny, it is constantly swinging nearer and nearer to the sun.

And now the time has come to say goodbye. The word "farewell" is the saddest in our language. And yet there are sentimerrts sometimes that refuse to be confined in that word. I will say "good-bye, old man." We will try to exemplify the spirit manifested in your life in bearing the grief at our parting. Words fail me here. Let these flowers, Riley, with their petaled lips and pcrfumed breath, speak in beauty and fragrance the sentiments that are too tender for words.

Washington, D. C.-Suppliers of glued wood products will have an oppprtunity to secure training for their glue room personnel on the special requirements of the Armed Forces.

A revised five day training course in the use of wood adhesives for military products is scheduled at the Timber Engineering Company Research Laboratory, Washington, D. C., Apil23-27. In TECO's previous schools emphasis was placed on civilian production, but in view of the growing demand for laminated marine timbers, and other glued military items the course has been changed to fit the times,

The course is open to all U. S, wood product manufacturers who are presently working on defense contracts or who anticipate entering this field in the near future.

Wood Display at Oafcland International Home Show

The pictures reproduced in this article show the all wood exhibit at the International Home Show, sponsored by the Associated Home Builders of the East Bay, which was held in the Oakland Exposition Auditorium, March 3 t-o lO inclusive

The exhibit was financed by Oakland lumber and mill 6rms. Wm. Chatham, Jr., manager of Loop Lumber & Mill Co., Alameda, was elected chairman of the group, and he designed the exhibit, which was built in his company's mill.

Three types of all clear heart redwood siding were featured : I x 8 V rustic, finished in natural redwood color; I x 12 saw sized tongue and grooved vertical siding with a lx2 motrlded batten, finished in a driftwood gray, and I x 8 Anzac siding with mitered corners, also in driftwood gray.

F-lower boxes using the same type of rustic as displayed on the house, were used to form a patio effect, in which were featured redwood lawn chairs. To give the effect of seclusion these flower boxes were backed by a fence display of redwood grape stakes and f x 4 redwood in a woven fence design. The flower boxes contained a colorful display of dafiodils. Also shown were the Ginch square modular redwood garden boxes.

In the interior there was a showing of wall panels of redwood, birch, ribbon grain Philippine mahogany, black rvalnut, vertical grain Douglas fir, knotty Ponderosa pine, and some curly redwood furniture. The floor had a unique treatment of fine fir sawdust, combed with a coarse rake to represent a Chinese rug. The effect was very pleasing
