CPR 152---\(/estern Pine and Associated Species o[ Lumber

The Office of Price Stabilization announced dollars-andcents manufacturers' ceilings on standard sizes and grades of lumber and railroad ties cut from western pine and other softwood species in 12 Western States.

The ceilings are spelled out in Ceiling price Regulation 152, effective June 30,1952.

The regulation applies to an annual production of about 7,500,000,000 board feet of lumber valued at about $900,000,000, representing roughly one-fifth of the lumber procluced in the United States.

The ceilings established by the new regulation are within the range of ceilings prevailing under the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR) which froze the prices of individual sellers on January 26,1951.

The regulation was issued to provide uniform and equitable ceilings consistent with the requirements of the defense program. The effect will be to iron out disparities between producers frozen under the GCPR.

Elbert Hubbard said that a man's value lies in his ability to think individually, but act collectively. No doubt that same statement could be properly made with regard to nations, and governments. The thought may be practically applicable to what goes on in the world today. ***

One of the most famous thoughts with regard to liberty may be found on the tomb of Jonathan Swift, who died October 19, 1745, and whose tomb is in St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. Inscribed on the tomb are these words: "Ffere lies the body of Jonathan Swift, Dean of this Cathedral, where fierce indignation can no longer rend his heart. Go, wayfarer, and imitate if thou canst one who, as far as in him lay, was an earnest champion of liberty." ;k** in a printed notice, and added: "But you should see our Berlin Branch." man can hardly be tickets were selling ask what time the are left grow old.

"The Vagabond" quotes from the writings of Maxwell E. Perkins, New York editor, the following somewhat original opinion: "One of my deepest convictions is that the terrible tiarms that are done in this world are not done by deliberately evil people, who are not numerous, and are soon {ound out. They are done by the good-by those who are so sure they are good that they are sure God is with them. Nothing can stop them, for they are certain they are right."

With regard to keeping well your credit, Hayes said: "The only road, the sure road, to unquestioned credit and a sound permanent condition, is the exact and punctual fulfillment of every pecuniary obligation, public and private, according to its letter and spirit."

Perhaps no other unattached newspaper and magazine item has been printed and quoted more times in the last several months, than the following: "The Ten Commandments contain 297 words; Lincoln's Gettysburg Address contained only 266 words.

Not long ago Benjamin F. Fairless, president of the United States Steel Corporation, showed a nice sense of humor. He was introduced to a convention to make a speech, and the introduction of the chairman was fowery. Fairless said, "I must confess that as I sat here listening to that eloquent introduction, there was just one doubt that crossed my mind. It occurred to me that if I were really as smart as he says f am, I would never have let him talk me into making a speech."

The following grand words are by a man named Curtis, and they may well deserve remembering: .'I think to have known one good man-one man who, through the chances and mischances of a l'ong life has carried his heart in his hand like a palm-branch, waving all discords into peace, helps our faith in God, in*ourselves, and in each other."

Modernization of Large Old Homes Mengel Slide Film

Washington, D.C., July 13-Extensive modernization and renovation of the nation's large old homes will be one of the significant developments of the next decade, H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, stated Saturday.

"At least 7,000,000 of the nation's homes already are 50 years old or older, and another 6,000,000 will reach that age by 1962," Mr. Northup said.

"Although some are so obsolete and run do.ivn that they should be removed, a good many are structurally sound and can be modernized at 'modest expense.

"It is probable that a high percentage of those which are renovated will be subdivided into two or more dwelling units, where zoning regulations permit, thereby giving more families an opportunity to live in preferred close-in locations at moderate cost.

"&Iodernization of these millions of large old homes r,vill be speeded up because they have become too costly to heat zind maintain, because they lack too many of the comforts and conveniences found in newly built homes, and because a great proportion of these dwellings are occupied by older couples rvho no longer need or want to take care of so large a home.

'This movement will elirninate future slums, bring many of these homes back into modern, livable condition, and help to maintain the traditional character of older established neighbo:hoods in cities and towns."
