Paul Hallingby Proves First Class Writer o[ Poetry

Paul Hallingby is Sales Manager for the Hammond Lumber Company, in Los Angeles, and one of the most highll' prized lumber figures in California, has long been known to his friends as a gentleman of parts. But few of them realized that Paul was a poet. And not just a writer of indifferent doggerel, but good, first-class stuff. This fact came out recently when he was one of a group of Los Angeles trade trip boosters who went to Alaska to advertise his home city. The trip was in charge of Charles P. Bayer, assistant to the president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, an all-around man of high degree in Chamber activities.

At a combined meeting of the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce in the city of Ketchikan, Alaska, Mr. Hallingby wrote a poem eulogizing Mr. Bayer, and read it to the assembly. Here it is:

..OUR CHARLIE"

Do you want to go on a Chamber trip ?

Ask Charlie.

Whether by rail or plane or shipAsk Charlie.

And once the trip is on the go

You turn to this same old so and so

And whatever it is you want to knowAsk Charlie !

Why is it raining so much of the time? Ask Charlie.

Why don't we have more sunny clime ? Ask Charlie.

Ifow can I get this ink off my suit?

Why did they whistle that extra toot ?

Why don't they go by the other route ? Ask Charlie.

What can I do for my aching feet ?

Ask Charlie.

Who is that blonde in the corner seat? Ask Charlie.

Is the local tobacco strong or mild ?

Are the native women really wild ?

I need some diapers for my childAsk Charlie.

Who chases a\rray any traces of gloom? Our Charlie.

Who pleases all ages from cradles to tomb ? Our Charlie.

And when you go on your final tourTo Hell, if you're bad-to Heaven, if pure; The Conductor you'll want-of this I'm sure, Is Charlie.

President Signs Housing Bill

President Truman signed the long-range housing bill on July 8.

The bill calls for 810,000 Federally-financed, low-rent housing units in the next six years; a $1,500,000,000 five-year program of slum clearance, and a $325,000,000 program of farm home improvements.

It also calls for a broadened program of Federal research into better and cheaper housing methods, and provides for temporary continuance of the government's mortgage insurance program.

Under the public housing section, the Federal governmeut is authorized to spend up to $308,000,000 a year for the next 40 years to pay the difference between operating costs of lowrent public housing and the income from rentals'

This money goes only to subsidize the low rentals until the local housing authorities pay off their construction loans and can handle the operating costs without loss themselves. The Federal government also can lend up to $1,500,000,000 to finance the building of public housing units, but this must be repaid by local communities.

The slum clearance section permits the government to lend up to $1,000,000,000 at any one time to finance the cost of buying and clearing slum properties. Another $500,000,000 can be given to communities to compensate them for twothirds of any losses they sustain in reselling the slum areas.

Air Shipment Saved the Day

An airplane made it possible for a Houston manufacturer to meet a deadline on some doors for an apartment project, when it dropped out of the skies on June 30, rvith the first sizeable quantity of lumber to be shipped by air recently as a rush order.

The King Redwood, Inc., of Long Beach, California, had a special order for their sawmill on Elk Creek for some redwood which their Houston representatives, Sander-Cederlof & Associates, had sold to the Venetian Window Company oi 1123 Hub, Houston. It was needed to finish up a rush order for 150 jalousie doors. These are special type ventilated doors using an adjustable redwood louvre which enables the owner either to provide ventilation by opening it or to make it u'eather proof by closing it tight against weather.

Since time was an important item Ford Albritton, Jr., manager of the Venetian Window Company in Houston called Erik Flamer, vice president and sales manager of King Redwood, Inc., at Long Beach, California, by phone. Almost immediately six thousand feet of redwood lumber was loaded on a Slick Airways plane-and the day was saved.
