Sisalkraft waterproof papers have long been known for their great strength and resistance to tearing due !g heavy fiber reenforcing. R. S. Youngberg, manag'er of American Sisalkraft Corporation's western Division, reports that still more strength characteristics are now being built into the firm's high wet strength prod- uct-Orange Label Sisalkraft. This new innovation, now a standard feature of all West Coast production of the product, involves special TripleEdge fiber reenforcing along the edges of the sheet to provide additional strength and resistance to tearing due to rough handling and high winds. An increasing volume of this product is being used outdoors for protective covering of a wide variety of products in this part of the country.

"Triple Edge Reenforcing" increases edge-tear resistance by over 6N/o. This feature is of special importance now that prefabricated Sisalkraft Storage Covers, for example, are being used more and more by lumber and building material dealers, says the firm.

Gourleous Cop

Her car stalled at the corner and the traffic light changed several times while she strove to get started. The polite policeman stepped up beside her car "and asked, "What'sa matter, lady? Ain't tue got no colors you like?"

Smiles qnd Frowns

If I knew the box where the smiles are kept, No matter how large the key, Or strong the bolt, I would try so hard 'Twould open, I know, for me. Then over the land and sea, broadcast, I'd scatter the smiles to play, That the children's faces might hold them fast For many and many a day.

If I knew the box that was large enough To hold all the frowns I meet, I would like to gather them, every one, From nursery, school, and street. , Then, folding and holding, I'd pack them in By turning the master key; Then I'd hire a giant to drop the box fn the depths of the deep, deep sea.

The fat lady slipped on the top stair of the subway and went sliding down. She collided with a man, upset him, and down they came together, finally ending at the bottom landing with the lady siiting half-dazed on the man's chest. She uras so stunned that she made no immediate motion to move, so the gentleman politely said:

"Sorry, Madam, you'll have to get off now. This is as far as I go."

Peqce

I know the beds of Eastern princes and the luxurious couches of Occidental plutocrats, but under the rafters of a farmhouse, where the mud-wasp's nest answers for a Rembrandt and the cobweb takes the place of a Murillo, there is a featherbed into which one softly sinks until his every inch is soothed and fitted, and settling down and farther down falls into sweet unconsciousness, while the screechowl is calling from the moonlit oak and frost is falling upon the asters. Stocks may fluctuate and panic sieze the town, but there is one man who is in peace.-Robert T. Morris.

Sryle Versus Gomfort

He was a stout man, with large, broad feet, and although several pairs of shoes were shown him, he refused them. "I must have square toes," he explained to the salesman. The young man sighed. The stout man insisted. "But square toes are not stocked Dolv," the salesman said, "pointed toes are fashionable this season."

"That may be," said the stout man, "but I happen to be wearing last season's feet."

Conversation

Quality is the life of conversation, and he is as much out of it who assumes to himself any part above another, as he who considers himself below the rest of society. Familiarity in inferiors is sauciness; in superiors it is condescension; neither of which is to have being among companions, the very word implying that they are to be equal. When, therefore, we have extracted the company from all considerations of their equality for fortune, it will immediately appear that, to make it happy and polite, there must be nothing started which shall discover that our thoughts run upon any such distinctions. Hence it will arise that benevolence must become the rule of society, and he that is most obliging must be most diverting.

-Richard'Steele.

Not Insulting

"I wouldn't insult you by saying that you are large," said one woman to a portly acquaintance, ,,I,d simply say that whether you are coming or going, sideways or revolving, you look the same."

Sigh no more, ladies; sigh no moreMen are deceivers ever;

New Plywood, Gong Mills Added ro G-P's Goos Boy, Toledo Plonts

Portland, Oregon-Georgia-Pacific Corporation will construct a new plywood mill on the site of its Coos Bay, Oregon, properties at a cost in excess of $2 million, announced President Robert B. Pamplin. He said the mill is a means of "balancing our production facilities with the timber-harvesting program, thereby utilizing a maximum of the timber in plywood prbduction and a lesser amount in the sawmills. Though we add a new facility we do not contemplate increasing the annual harvest of our timbers." G-P already operates two lumber mills, a hardboard plant and a plywood plant in the Coos Bay area.

Plans call for the plywood facility to be in production by the first of 1959. Capacity will be 90 million square feet annually.
