Selling Joins Pqcific Forest Producfs

Harry Selling (left), well-known Southland lumlter salesman, has joined the sales staff of Pacific F'orest Products, Inc., Los Angeles, and will cover the Southern California territory, announces Ed LaFranchi, president of the concern.

Harry started his lumber career after the close of World War II at Zenia, Calif., and later became identified with Arcata Redwood Co. He was a pilot with the 8th Air Force during the war and spent three years at USC majoring in foreign trade and industrial engineer- i.g. He is well known in lumber circles throughout the state and is a prominent member of Hoo-Hoo Club 2.

Following an educational tour of Northern California mills rvith Ed LaFranchi last month, Selling reported to Dick LaFranchi, sales manager of the firm in Los Angeles. He formerly handled sales for the George Clough lumber concern in Downey and will be calling on the retail trade in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Imperial counties, it rvas said.

While Visalia and Tulare still dispute the population championship of Tulare county, Visalia had $10 million more retail sales in 1954. Stores there dealing rvith lumber, building materials, hardware and farm equipment accounted for $20,187,000 in sales that year.

Cling to Your Art

(The follozuing is from an ad,d,ress by Marwell Anderson deIi.ztered, at Founder's Day erercises at Carnecti.e Institwte.)

To the young people of this country I wish to say, if you now hestitate on the threshold of your maturity, wondering what rewards you should seek, wondering perhaps whether there are any rewards beyond the opportunity to feed, sleep and breed, turn to the art which has moved you most readily, take what part in it you ca,n, as participant, spectator, secret practitioner, or hanger-on, and waiter at the door. Make your living any way you can, but neglect no sacrifice at your chosen altar.

It may break your heart, it may drive you half mad, it may betray you into unrealizable ambitions, or blind you to mercantile opportunities with its wandering fires. But it will filI your heart before it breaks it; it will make you a person in your own right; it will open the temple doors to you and enable you to walk with those who have come nearest among men, to what men may sometime be. If the time arrives when our young men and women lose their extravagant faith in the dollar and turn to the arts. we may then become a great nation, nurturing great artists of our own, proud of our culture and unified by tha,t culture i,nto a civilization worthy of our unique place on this rich and lucky continent between the protecting seas.

Feoring the Worst

A certain deacon was considered of so much importance to the congregation that when he was seriously ill a bulletin was posted outside the church at regular intervals, telling of his condition. One day the bulletin read:

"One o'clock, Deacon Jones very low."

"Two o'clock. Deacon Jones sinking fast."

"Three o'clock. Dea,con Jones dead."

A passing wag read the bulletins, and added: "Seven o'clock. Great excitement in heaven. Deacon Jones not yet arrived. The worst is feared."

They Dretrm of Fsrms

They dream of farms, those city folks, Who know the great town's heavy yoke, Who on their flesh feel every stroke

Of trade's unflagging whips;

They dream of farms and maple trees, Of clover fields and drowsy bees, As those sad exiles far from seasDream still of ships.

They dream of farms, of soil and sod, Where their forefathers, farmers, trod, And shared the mystery with God

Of giving green things birth. They long to leave the city shrill, Where souls are ground in greed's great mill, They want to find, and own, and till Their share of earth.

-Mary Carolyn Davies

Good Advice

She had just been hired for a job in the circus side-show, and she said to the boss:

"fs there any particular advice you could give me before I start to work ?"

"Well," he said thoughtfully: "Don't ever undress in front of the bearded lady."
