Wildest Lumber Market in History Continues
The rvildest lurnber market in history isin evidence th:oughout the \\'est Coast industry. The demand d.ivarfs the supply. The car shortage continues unabated, and experts say it rnay be this bad for many weeks to come. The demand comes from every direction, and rvhile there are numerous reports concerning building propositions being postponed until conditions change, there is a yau,ning demand, almost regardless of price, for all available lumber ofall Western species. The same is true of Plywood. Transit ca:s bring prices far above that of lumber that must a.ivait mill shipment. In fact, the prices being paid for much of the moving lumber borders on the ridiculous. Frantic buyers place orders r,vith the price left open.
Lumber shipments of the 422 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer issued by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D. C., for the week ended August 12, were 12.7 per cent below production. In the same week new orders of these mills r.r'ere 7 per cent below production. Unfilled orders of these same mills amounted to 65 per cent of sto.cks. For reporting softu'ood mills, unfilled orders were equivalent to 3l days production at the current rate, and gross stocks were equivalent to 45 days production.
For the vear-to-date, shipments of reporting identical
n.rills rvere 8.7 per cent above production; orders were 15.6 per cent above production.
Compared to the average corresponding week of 19351939, production of reporting mills was 66.8 per cent above; shipments were 57.1 per cent above; orders were 65.1 per cent above. Compared to the corresponding week in 1949, production of reporting mills was 19.8 per cent above; shipments were 12.1 per cent above; and new orders were 14.6 per cent above.

Cicero wrote 1 "-a great spring from which injuries arise is some quirk or cavil and an oversubtle and malicious interp etation of the laws; from whence that saying, 'the height of justice is the height of roguery,'fe1 examole, him, who, concluding a truce with the enemy for 'thirty days,' made continual incursions into their territory by night; because, forsooth, the truce was NOT made for so many NIGHTS, but only so many days:'
t< :F {<
As I read and ponder and likewise wonder over the ways and words of diplomacy as evidenced in the present meetings of the Security Council of the United Nations, I wonder if the gang of bandits and assassins in the Kremlin have not, perhaps, read the writings of Cicero, and thus learned additional ways and methods of croo,kedness and slipperiness? You don't suppose they thought up all their deviltry for themselr.., U*o tltl
f wrote in this column last issue that I thought some good American, outraged beyond restraint at the insults the Russian spokesman has been handing our brave young men in Korea, should "smash a bowl of hot soup in his ugly puss." I wish to withdraw that suggestion. f am very fond of hot soup, and don't think that would be giving said soup a fair deal. I would like to make the same suggestion but substitute "garbage bucket" for bowl of soup. That would fit the situation better.
The newspapers have L.l *r"arng numerous suggestions from far and wide, from great and small, from preacher and professor, from one and all, about what should be done in reply to the unbelievable and immeasurable insults to this nation and its government that have been broadcast from the Security Council meetings to the outside world. Some of the suggestions are swell; not as practical as my suggestion made above, but perhaps more refined.
t<*>k
Warren R. Austin, United States spokesman in the Security Council, is reported to be receiving hundreds of telegrams and letters daily ever since the meeting started, suggesting what should be done about the poison-tongued Malik. Someone suggested that every time Malik speaks, Austin simply rise to his feet and utter the famous answer that the American leader gave the Germans at the battle of the bulge, and say-"NUTS." That wouldn't be bad.
I really believe that one suggestion that has been made to Austin would be even better than the most bitter invective, if it were done cleverly. That is, make fun of him. Don't treat him and his mad lies seriotrsly. Treat him as
though he were a clown, a buffoon, laugh him out of court, as it were. Some of the greatest lawyers in American history have agreed that the way to kill a case that would otherwise be desperate, is to simply "laugh it out of court." Boy, don't you know that Kremlin mouthpiece would writhe and squirm and well-nigh die if a well arranged campaign of ridicule were heaped on his head? Some authorities have long maintained that the "thunders of silence" is the best weapon in such a case. I don't believe ignoring him would hurt Malik. But ridicule, if cleverly handled, might send him rushing red-faced from the chamber. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
The justice of Aristides wo'uld affect him not in the least. Double-leaded diatribes he is prepared for, and they fall from his thick skull like spray from the side of a battleship. The glaring absurdities that fall like April rain from his subsidized lips can be met by no flow of reason, can be stemmed by no plea for honor and integrity and decency. But I DO believe that if they would treat him as though he were a monkey performing on a stick; reply to his maunderings as though they were the brays of an asthmatic burro; do you know something? I don't believe he could take it. He might jump out the window; which would be preferable to having to throw him out. I'd give anything I own to see it done. Why not? Could anything be unfair in such a contest as the one in progress before the Security Council?
I read another ".r**."alorr*thit "orrr" fine, dignified old gentleman from New England sent to Mr. Austin. He said, "I urge you to cease temporizing with this unconscionable scoundrel and restore American self-respect by denouncing him and his whole mob of murdering gangsters in terms that will leave no doubt in anyone's mind as to where we stand." I wouldn't be surprised if these words express the feeling of the average American on this subject pretty near perfectly. If you can believe the things you hear every man saying on the street, on trains, in cars and busses, everywhere you go, then you must admit that the man in the street is sick of the insults of the Ruskies, and would like tp see them answered in language that they understand, rather than in diplo,matic jargon. The average American is a direct sort of person. He thinks automatically that plain talk is better than double-talk, and that "if the rock is hard, get hard with the rock."
I have listened with the keenest pleasure scores of times of late, while everyday Americans rise furiously to their feet to express their opinions as to what should be done. And these folks are up in arms, Brother, not only against the Communists abroad and in the United Nations. but

Johns-Mqnville Presents . . . . the New
Bequtiful New Colors !
Line your level against the surface of the new J-M SMooTHGRAIN PERMAToNn Shingl"... you'll find it smooth and true. Now look at its beauty from any angle... you'll see a rich texture of striking character, even though the surface of the shingle is actually smooth!
These new Smootbgrain asbestos shingles are stmnger because they have the same cross section throughout they ctt cleaner because the shingle cutter always works against a smooth surface. they resist soiling better and always look the same from any angle, because they have no grooves, no raised texture to catch dirt or highlights and thus distort aPPearance.
sMooTHGRelN Shingles are available in an outstanding variety of beautiful colors, all PERMATONE colors. As "Permatone" implies, the color is "sealed in" comes from myriads of tiny ceramic granules embedded into the asbestos-cement.
The colors include Heather Green, Autumn Brown, the distinctively rich and practical rJfeathered Gray, and the ever-popular Silver Gray which goes well with any trim or color scheme. For full ioformation, write Johns-Manville, Box 2)o, New York 16, N. Y.

against the spawn of Satan that infest this land here at home. You know, if you are lvell informed, that these damnable reds, pinks, and fellow-travelers here in the United States have been trying hard to take to cover since the Korea ruckus started. Lots of recently active big mouths have become suddenly quiet. Lots of these crooked birds are trying to crawl over to the other side of the fence right now, finding the red side dangerous. ***
Just this morning I read where a congress of disabled veterans'of the last war has demanded that every Commie in this country be placed in stockades. The man in the street would approve highly of that suggestion. I know of no music sweeter to my ears than to listen to stout Americans speak their pieces about the subversives here at home. The opinion is.becoming general that every loyal American should stand and be counted, and those who aren't proud and happy to jump to their feet and proclaim their loyalty to this nation and their oppo,sition to Communism, have no right to remain in this land. For a man or woman to refuse to reply when asked if he is a Communist is going to be mighty touchy business in this country from now on. Don't you doubt it. Up to the time the Korean war started, these slimy creatures had been crawling out of their holes in constantly increasing numbers, and with increasing boldness. It's going to be different from now on'
In this column last issue I lamented the fact that lve are fighting in Korea because the men in the Kremlin willed it so, and it looks like we will have to fight when, and where, and with whom they decide. They sit at home and call the shots. Since that publication Mr. Harold Stassen made the headlines in all the newspapers with the same idea, thoughtfully expressed. FIe warned this nation that "we must not permit Uncle Sam. to be chopped down finger by finger, arm by arm, by preliminary fights for which he is not prepared." He said it was militarily stupid to engage the enemies' fingers-such as Korea-without striking at the heart. His words brought much attention, many editorial words of approval.
Record Set in U.S. Home Building
Washington, Aug. 19.-The Government reported today
Jtrly was the best homebuilding month in history.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said tentativq figures show 144,000 new non-farm dwelling units were started in July to bring the total for the first seven months of the vear to almost 893.000.
F'IIA Stops Luxury Home Fincncing
On August tenth FHA announced from Washington thag it is pulling out of the luxury home financing market. The action rvas taken by Housing Commissioner Richards as a follow-up of President Truman's decision to curb nonessential home building as a war measure, and all FHA field offices were ordered to channel available government mortgage money into moderate and low cost homes. In addition the agency tightened its policy on approval of loans in all categories.
I get a barig out of many reports on informal things connected with the war. The proprietor of one of the popular eating places in Washington, seeing his place filled with faces he had missed since World War Two ended, was heard to remark: "Wonder what these folks do between wars?" They come, none knows .twhence, and they depart when the war ends, none knows whither. They come back to the capital when war starts just as the swallows come back to Capistrano. Birds of fas:aCe-war passage, that is.
And George Dixon, one of my favorite Washington columnists, utters a thought that finds an echo in my heart. He says the worst thing he fears from war is the return of the "cuckoos." Elaborating, he says he refers to the innumerable confused creatures on the various confused bureaus, who wrote the mad-house "directives" that meant nothing to any sane human, yet which filled the government mails to over-flowing. Also, the strange critters in the shape of poets, and playwrights, and exotic dancers, and other strange trash that the New Deal brought in countless numbers to Washington and put on the payroll. I agree with Dixon. War certainly has its sad sides..
So. Califolnia Building Records
M.y Be Broken In 1950
Unless the war emergency interferes too greatly, Southern California may establish a building record of more than one billion dollars this year. The grand total of $648,415,582 worth of building permits have been issued in 57 Southern California localities in the first seven months of the year. For the second time in its history Los Angeles building permits may reach the $300,000,000 mark this year, the total for the first seven months of the year being $Z26,l44,82l,with five months to go. The only time Los Angeles issued permits over the three hundred million mark was in 1948, when the totals reached $373,050.082.

War Demands on Transportation Facilities Called Maior Factor in LumberSupply
Recently R. A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president, National Lumber 1\Ianufacturers Association, Washington, D. C. stated that "lumber manufacturers, particularly in the West, are no\\r suffering the worst railroad car shortage the lumber industry has ever known." Mr. Colgan pointed out that this situation has resulted from the urgency of getting rvar materials to the Korean front. As an example of this condition, NIr. Colgan cited the fact that railroad cars from the N{idl'est and East going to West Coast ports u'ith necessary \\rar materiel are not being delayed even a ferr. days for reloading. Empty cars are being returned to points u'here they can be loaded with needed supplies and sent back to the \\rest Coast'
According to H. V. Sin.rpson, executive vice president, West Coast Lumberman's Assbciation, "the sizeallle number of railroad cars no\\r being taken out of commercial use has resulted in the fact that the West Coast lumber industry, rvhich rvas already short of railroad cars, now has less than 5O% of the needed railroad cars to ship Douglas fir lurnber stocks on hand."
Considering the fact that more rhan 58/a of the nation's san' timber is located in the western states and that West Coast lumber production alone is '/a b\llion board feet per week. the situation of being unable to transport this amount of needed lumber is rapidly resulting in an acute lumber supply situation.
The railroads are doing what they can to remedy the present bad situation but little progress is being made. Undoubtedly much of the difficulty is due to the fact that there are 52,606 ferver railroad cars available to industry today than there u'ere last year. Despite announced plans for repair of many cars now in unuseable condition and orders for an additional 100,000 cars the fact stands that r1o more lumber can be made available to the public than can be shipped.
An added complexity in the transportation picture has been the reduction in available steamships for carrying lumber from the West Coast to Atlantic ports. This has resulted in Eastern buyers turning to all-rail deliveries and has throrvn an even greater load on the already overbrrrdened rail lines.

New Order Concerning Federally Owned Housing
Raymond M. Foley, Administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, today ordered a temporary suspension, lvith certain exceptions, of disposition of Federallyowned housing originally provided for rvar r'l'orkers or for emergency use of veterans after the war.
' The purpose of the action, Mr' Foley explained, is to help further the national defense efiort in keeping with the President's recent directive to heads of a number of agencies concerning "the use of materials and other resources needed for the defense effort."
Under the suspension order, the sale, transfer, demolition, or other disposition of the war and veterans reuse housing under the Agency's jurisdiction (with the exceptions hereafter mentioned) are held in abeyance. By retaining control over such housing, the Federal Government through the HHFA: will be in a position to make these faciliiies available for any defense recluirements as well as to determine admission policies and to give top priority, to the extent that the larv permits, to families of workers engaged in defense activities and to military personnel.
About 354,000 units of housing provided under the Lanham Act are still under the jurisdiction of the Federal Governrnent and subject to disposition. Of these units approximately Zl7pn are of temporary construction and 137,000 are permanent structures. Since the rvar, priority for admission to these units has been gil'en to veterans and servicemen. The suspension order applies to the bulk of this nutnber, except where there are existing commitments for sale or transfer of any units.

NRLDA Request Members Provide Data On Storage and Production Facilities
Washington, D.C., Aug. 13-The National Retail Lumlter Dealers Association has requested its 18,000 members to provide complete data regarding their storage and procluction facilities for the guidance of planning agencies in the Federal government, H. R. Northup, executive vice president, announced Saturday.
"The data is requested in view of the fact that the government may find it desirable to store quantities of lumber and other materials for emergency use at some future date, although no such contingency is anticipated at this time." Nlr. Northup said.
"The questionnaire being sent to building materials
clealers in all parts of the country seeks to determine total storage capacity, under roof and open; number of trucks, t;ailerS, fork lift trucks, straddle trucks, and other materials handling equipment; dry kiln, planing mill, and other production facilities; railroad connections, and the nature of any contracts or subcontracts to produce defense iten.rs during World War II.
"Because of the expanded operation of the retail buildir.rg materials industry in recent years and the growing use of time-saving mechanized equipment, similar data assembled in the pasl no longer is adequate for the purpose. "Up-to-date information of this sort is frequently sought from our industry by various government departments and agencies for various purposes, and it will be helpful to both the industry and the government when accurate data are available."
Mcry Building Mcrtericrl Production Recched AII-Time High
Building materials production reached an all-time high in May 1950, according to a report released today by the U. S. Department of Commerce. Output of lumber, hardwood flooring, cement, softwood plyrvood, and gypsum board rvas substantially above earlier postwar peaks. Almost twice as much cement u'as produced in May this year as in the average month before thq u'ar and eight times as much gypsum boarcl. '
Over-all production of building materials u'as at a higher rate through the first 5 months of 1950 than in the like 1949 period, but it lagged behind 1948 production during the first quarter.

Advice From Headquarters
Jimmy Durante thinks the following is the funniest story he has heard for months. He tells it like this:
A man got a violent headache so he called his Doctor and asked him what to do for it. The Doctor told him to lie down, and put a hot pack on his head.
He did, and the headache grew much worse. Just then their maid asked him what the trouble was, and he told her. She said:
"That's the wrong kind of pack for a headache. Put an ice pack on your head."

He did, and the headache stopped. So he called his Doctor and told him he thought he was lousy, since the hot pack he had recommended made the headache worse, whereas the ice pack the maid recommended cured the headache. The Doctor said:

"She certainly did !"
"That's funny," said the Doctor. "It was our maid that told me about the hot pack."

Smith Says Calilornia ls No* Second In LumberProduction
Eureke, Calif.-The large-scale production of Douglas fir lumber in California's three northwest counties, addecl to the traditional cut of California Redwood and Western pines, has been responsible for California's step up into the 1919 nation's second largest lumber producing state, topped only by Oregon.
Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 'ivho is spending a week from the Portland headquarters visiting with Douglas fir producers in this region, points out that it has been only in the last few years that California has become an important manufacturer of Douglas fir lumber.
In 1947 Humboldt County cut D2,014,000 board feet of Douglas fir lumber, slightly less than the 297,344,000 borrcl feet of California Redrvood sawed. In 1948 Douglas fir production jumped to 358,600,000 board feet in this countv, and California Redwood shorved a comparable increase to 439,090,000 board feet.
Production of Douglas fir in 1949 has shown a co-responding increase, although exact census figures are not as yet available, Smitl-r said.
In 1919, California nosed out Washington as the nation's second largest producer of lumber. With the expending production of Douglas fir, backed up by more than 40 billion feet of the fir species in tl-re three northwest counties of the state, and the program of industry to apply better forest management and better forest practices in the harvesting of this great natural resource, Smith believes this section 'rvill continue to be an impo:tant factor in the nation's lumber industry for many years in the future.
"The expansion of the Tree Farm program on northlr,'est California private forest holdings," Smith said, "is one of the most progressive forward steps of industry to insur'e perpetual c-ops of trees for every generation."
Humboldt county, with a Douglas fir cut in 1949 of closc to 370,000,000 board feet, now takes its place among the top ten producing counties in Oregon, Washington ancl California of this species, Smith said.
"The timber economies of the three coast states." Smith observed, "are more closely tied together than at any tirrre
in recent )-ears, rvith the emergence of California as a Douglas fir producer of importance.
"Douglas fir manufacturers and timber land owners," Smith stated, "now have common objectives in improving their forest management practices. They are also united in their program to develop new markets and merchandise Douglas fir lumber products so as to maintain a steady demand, provide permanent payrolls and help maintain the economic stability of communities in which they operate."
Smith accompanied by Arthur W. Priaulx, director of public relations for the Association, is calling on a large number of fir mills in this area to tell local producers what the West Coast Lumbermen's Association is doing in the field of trade promotion.

E. K. Wood Ycrd At Riverside SuIIers Grecrt Fire Loss
On the night of the 13th of August fire destroyed a large part of the big retail lumber plant of the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, at Riverside, California. The loss was about $100,000, fully covered by insurance.
The office and rough lumber sto'cks were saved, but the mill and the big sheds that stored the higher priced items such as finish, flooring, plywood, etc., lvas entirely wiped out, which caused the high total loss.
It is contemplated that replacement will begin as soon as possible. The yard is located at 3761 First Street in Riverside, and is under the management of Paul Loizeaux.

\(/estern Pine Convention Recommends Stopping Transit Lumber Shipments
tion president; S. V. Fullaway, Jr. of Portland, secretarymanager, and Charles A. Leonard, chief of the St. Louis procurement office of the Corps of Engineers.
He told the group that his office will place orders for approximately 1,500,000,000 board feet of lumber between now and July 1, 1951. In the event of an all-out war, he said, the armed forces will require six billion board feet of lumber annually in addition to an estimated 12 billion feet which will be needed by prime contractors working on defense projects.
He said, however, he did not feel that the present situation in Korea warranted the declaration of an emergency now and, therefore, regarded it as unlikely that allocations rvould be necessary soon unless war breaks out elsewhere.
Spokane, Aug. 1l-Current market prospects indicate a ready demand for all lumber despite possible war-caused housing cutbacks, leading western pine lumbermen were told at the closing session of the Western Fine Association summer meeting here today.
More than 200 representatives of the $500 million pine industry heard W. E. Griffee of Portland, assistant secretary-manager, say that even though new housing starts are reduced as a result of tighter government credit policies, construction under way will not be finished until late in the fall. "At the same time," l.re said, "the demand for fruit and vegetable shook is extremely urgent and heavy industrial production requires a large volume of lumber, ' ''"JY
Griffee was one of the four speakers on the final program of the first industry-wide pine manufac'turers meeting ever held here. Others were E. C. Olson of Spokane, Associa-
Olson, head of the E. C. Olson Lumber company and Kaniksu Products, Inc. reviewed the'history of cooperative endeavor in the western pine industry from its inception in Spokane when the Western Pine Shippers' association was founded in 1903. He traced its growth from the small group oI 47 years ago with 22 members shipping 160 million l>oard feet annually, fhrough the 2S-year period of the succeeding Western Pine Manufacturers association, the merger in 1931 of the WPMA with the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers association, up to the existing organization of 300 mills which this year are expected to manufacture approximately six billion feet of lumber.
Olson paid tribute to the pioneers of the western pine industry, many of whom came from the Lake states to the Inland Empire and other sections of the l2-state Western Pine region and laid the groundwork fo.r the present industry-wide cooperation.
"To these men we owe an immense debt of thanks for pointing the way toward the rewarding and mutually enjoyable association we have today," he said. "But if we are now harvesting substantial benefits from their farseeing spadework, let us not be deluded that the job is done.
"Let us remember to maintain the foundation of our industry with the future, to stand by the conditions which surround its operation, and to everldstingly support, by gooperative action, the principle and fact of free endeavor

under rvhich it rvill endure," he said.
Fullau'ay revierved the role of the permanent staff of 59 persons in association activities. The staff, he said, is "a tangible industry asset-a valuable indust:f investment. It is they who execute the program of activities rvho carry out the policies determined by the menrbership rvh<l are largely responsible, therefore, for the pultlic standing of your association."
He introduced five veterans of more than 25 years service rvith the organization-Chief inspector Vern Johnson, 30 years; Inspector Jack Stervart, 28 years; Mrs. Alene Morris, caslrier, 27 years; Albert Hermann, kiln consultant,2T years, and Inspector T. A. Sandoe, 26 years.
In an effort to help remedy a serious current railroacl car shortage, the \Mestern Pine association recommended that in-transit stoppage of lumber shipments be discontinued until February l, 1951.
The group also suggested that all railroads return to a six-day service week in the interests of speeding up car rnovements through terminals, approved a carrier program for "railroad efficiencies," and condemned any program of freight car construction by the government.
Raymond H. Berry of the Scott Lumber company, Burney, Calif., chairman of the association's traffic committee, pointed out that freight cars are in short supply throughout the entire country.
"Business has increased substantially and the supply of cars has decreased," he said. "In order to offset retirements it is necessary for the carriers to install approximately 4000 cars each month. This they have not been doing."
Berry said that there are 33.3 per cent fewer box cars in service norv than there rvere in 1930. The carrying capacity of all railroad cars has shrunk from 106 million tons to 91 million tons, or about 14 per cent, in 20 years, he said.
Hugh A. Gillis, association traffic manager, said there is a daily shortage of 22,000 boxcars in the United States. Some mills, he said, are getting only one car a u'eek u'hen they're used to getting 14.
An anticipated easing of the car situation expected u.ith increased westward shipments of Korean war material has not developed, he reported. "Most of the shipments zrre sent to ports south of the Pacific Northu'est," Gillis said. "and the cars are being sent back empty."

There are rew .n,:1""5ns",T:lii'" occurrence than shaking hands; and yet I do not recollect that much has been speculated on the subject.
I confess, when I consider to what unimportant futile concerns the atterition of writers and readers has been directed, f am surprised that no one has been found to handle so important a matter as this, and attempt to give the public a rational view of the doctrine and discipline of shaking hands.
I have been unable to find in the ancient writers any distinct mention of shaking hands. They followed the heaitier practice of hugging or embracing, which has not wholly disappeared among grown persons in Europe, and children in our own country, and has unquestionably the advantage on the score o,f cordiality.
When the ancients trusted the business of salutation to the hands alone, they joined but did not shake them; and although I 6nd frequently such phrases as "jungere dextras hospitio," I do not recollect to have met with that of "agitare dextras."
I am inclined to think that the practice grew up in the ages of chivalry when the cumbrous iron mail, in which the knights were encased, prevented their embracing; and when, with fingers clothed in steel, the simple touch or joining of the hands would have been but cold welcome; so that a prolonged junction was a natural resort to express cordiality; and as it would have been awkward to keep the hands employed in this position, a gentle agitation or shaking might have been naturally introduced.
How lcng the practice may have remained in this incipient stage it is impossible, in the silence of history, to say; nor is there anything in the Chronicles, in Philip de Comines, or the Byzantine historians, which enables us to trace the progress of the art into the forms in which it now exists among us.-Edward Everett.

Where to Stcrrt World Unity
The place to start world unity is where we live, not in some far off place. When Charles F. Kettering visited his home town in Ohio; he talked with some of the townspeople about local and foreign affairs. One man was an ardent advocate of world government and world unity.
Kettering wanted to know how many churches there were in the town. There were fourteen. "Fine," said Kettering, "no,$r, let's unite them all into one great efficient church, and I'll give half a million dollars to build it a home. Get them all working in harmony."
The other man said: "That would never work; they would never agree."
Kettering said: "Well, if the churches in one town can't agree, how do you expect the whole world to agree?"
Cure for Despondency
Paul Speicher tells the following interesting story in the R & R Magazine:
"Dr. Link tells the story of the man who came to see him, so desperate he was on the verge of suicide. He couldn't sleep. He had lost his grip. Dr. Link agreed that suicide was the only way out, and suggested to the man that he run himself to death. 'It's easy,' said Dr. Link, 'After supper tonight tell the family you are going for a walk. But, don't walk-run. Run as hard as you can. You are middle-aged, probably your heart is bad, and you will drop dead. No one will know. There will be no' disgrace.'
"The man thought the suggestion was perfect, and that night he started to run himself to death. But he didn't drop dead. He just got very tired. He went home and for the first time in months he slept like a baby. The next night he tried it again, and the result was the same. A good night's sleep. By the third night he was feeling so much better he wanted to live forever."
Not So Smart
Man is not half as smart as he thinks he is, nor half as original. Thousands of years before he even thought of them, the turtle sported a streamlined body, a turret top, a retractable landing gear, and a portable house.
Brogue
An American visiting in Ireland, was expecting letters from home, so he said to the mail man:
"How many mails do you have here a day?"
"Three," said the Mick; "breakfast, dinner', and supper."
Adventure in Fcrct
Adventure? That's the life, thought I, When young and bo,ld. And so to die Or do, I sought strange scenes afar, (Ho! Samarkand! Yo! Zanzibarl)

Launch Nation-\(/ide Program To Promote \(/ood \(/indow Units
A nation-wide program to promote wood window units on the local dealer level is announced by the Joint Committee for Wood Window Promotion. The Committee is composed of manufacturers of standard woodwork, western pine lumber producers and more than l@ topflight woodwork jobbers.
'Ihe objective of the program is to place in the hands of tl-re lumber dealer a "package" of promotional tools lr.hich rvill enable him to do a more effective merchandising job on wood windows. The program is comprehensive, including national advertising, mats in various sizes for newspaper use by dealers, radio announcements, movie and television programs, direct mail broadsides and envelope enclosures, display materials, outdoor billboard posters ar-rd field men to work with architects, contractors, builders, and home finance agencies. The field men are Douglass Pilkington, covering the Southwest and West Coast; Ray Dahl, covering the Midwest; and Charles Emery, covering Eastern territory from Boston to Baltimore.
In announcing the program, the Joint Committee ernphasized the fact that it is not a species campaign, but features the advantages of chemically treated, weatherstripped rvood rvindow units.
The Joint Wood Windorv Promotion Program is co<r'perative, carried on and financed jointly by the \A/estern l'irc :\ssociation, Ponderosa Pine Woodu'o-k Association and n-ood'n'ork manufacturers and jobbers throughout the c()unirv. It does not take the place of any program notv being conducted by individual manufacturers.
The executive committee of the new organization consists of E. \\''. Ruddick, general manag'er of Ponderosa Pine \\rood$'ork; O. C. I-ance, secretary-manager of National \\roodn'ork I\{anufacturers Association, Inc., and S. \r. Fullarvay, secretary of the Western Pine Association.
