Oiher new items being considered under the company's research program are laminated and end-edge glued products, as well as refinement of cut parts for industrial users, the stockholders were told by Edens.

The decline in lumber volume and prices which started eighteen months ago continued throughout the year and substantially affected the company's over-all operating results, Edens said.

Expressing satisfaction with the company's paper converting units, both in production facilities and_ P_r9d-uct quality, Edens pointed out, however, "that unsettled labor conditions in California's Imperial Valley during the height of the lettuce season resulted in the loss of considerable volume of corrugated cartons for our Container Division."

The continued soft lumber market coupled with the strikes that beset a prime consumer of the company's paper products contributed to a sharp fall-ofi in the company's-net income for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1961. While net sales and other income increased from the previons year's $23,579,210 to $27,71I,50! i1 the fiscal-y_ear just ended, net income dropped from $1,2I7,190 to $18,804.

The keystone of Southwest's expansion program is the $32.5 miliion paper and pulp mill in the last stages of construction. The kraft mill, Edens told the stockholders, will be in operation in November of this year and the newsprint mill i! scheduled to start up in December.

Pierpont Morgan once said before a money trust commission that in his opinion, character was supreme in the world of money, and money could not butt in. To build up a business on character is putting it on sure foundations. If the heads of a firm are men of character, the business soon gains the respect of all those who trade with it. Always to take the straight line requires constant practice. Unfortunately we are sometimes too busy watching our neighbors at the time we ought to be watching ourselves. This may be a policy of perfection, but it is well to "hitch your wagon to a star," for if we do not always realize our ideals, we are better for having made the effort.

As John Ruskin says, "The entire object of education is not merely to make people do the right thing, but to enjoy the right thing-not merely to be industrious, but to enjoy industry-not merely to become learned, but to love knowl- edge-not merely to be pure, but to love purity-not merely to be just, but to hunger and thirst after justice."

I never sausage eyes as thine, And if you'll butcher hand in mine, And liver round me every day, We'll meat life's frown with life's caress, And cleaver road to happiness.
