Smith said fir manufacturers had cut 5,890,383,000 board feet by the end ofJuly, slightly below 1951 record outPut. Orders for West Coast lumber topped both production and shipments, the lumber executive stated, but all three were closely bunched in a neck-and-neck race.

Gross stocks at July's end stood at 988,949,000 board feet, while unfilled orders were two million feet higher, Smith observed, calling it a healthy balance.

THIS WILL ATTEMPT TO POINT OUT

\* * t

The season for political oratory is now at hand, and it seems fitting and appropriate at this time to point out to political orators of today some of the knightly oratorical habits of famous American politicians of the past. It can be shown in innumerabl'e instances that in the early days of this nation, the bitterest debates were often softened by.a generous show of good temper, good manners, and gentlemanlycourtesy.

As a special example, take the famous debate on the subject of slavery that took place in the U. S. Senate in the year 1E30, between Senator Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, and Senator Hayne, of South Carolina. While in the main bodies of their speeches they struck sledgehammer blows in defense of their own opinions and against those of ,their opponents, yet they found time for courteous and gallant words for the opposition. Hayne spoke first. In fact, Webster answered him five days later. In part the South Carolinian said:

"Sir, f honor New England for her conduct in that glorious struggle (the Revolution). But great as is the praise which belongs to her, I thinli at least equal honor is due the South. They espoused the quarrel of their brethren with a generous zeal which did not.sufrer them to stop to calculate their interest in the dispute. * * {€ Trampling on all considerations either of interdsts or of safety, they rushed into the conflict, and fighting for principle, perilled all in the sacred cause of freedom. Never was there exhibited in all the history of the world higher examples of noble daring, dreadful suffering, and heroic endurance than by the Whigs of Carolina during the Revolution. The whole state from the mountains to the sea was overrun by an overwhelming force of the enemy. The fruits of industry perished on the spot where they were produced, or were consumed by the foe. The plains of Carolina drank up the most precious blobd of her citizens. Bl'ack and smoking ruins marked the places which had been the habitations of her children. Driven from their homes into the gloomy and almost impenetrable swamtrF, even there the spirit of Liberty survive4 and South Carolina proved by her conduct that tho the soil might be overrun, the spirit of her people was invincible."

Thus spoke Hayne. And when he rose to reply, Webster took up the same line of thoughS, saying: "Let me obsene that the eulogium pronounced by the honorable gentleman on the character of the State of South Carolina, for her Revoltrtionary and other merits, meets my hearty concurrence. I shall not acknowledge that the honorable member goes before me in regard for whatever of distinguished talent, or distinguished character, South Carolina has produced. I claim part of the honor; I partake in the pride of their great names. I claim them for my countrymen, one and all-the Laurenses, the Rutledges, the Pinckneys, the Sumpters, the Marions-Americans all, whose fame is no more to be hemmed in by State lines, than their talents and patriotism were capable of being circumscribed within the narrow limits."

And Webster continued: "In their day and generation they served and honored the countr5 and the whole country; and their renown is of the treasures of the whole country. Does the gentleman esteem me less capable of gratitude for his patriotism, or sympathy for his su,fferings than if his eyes had first opened upon the light of Massachusetts instead of South Carolina? Sir, does he suppose it in his power to exhibit a Carolina name so lright as to produce envy in my bosom? No, Sir, increased gratification and delight, rather. I thank God that, if I am gifted with little of the spirit which is able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none, as f trust, of that other spirit that would drag angels down. When I shall be found, Sir, in my place here in the Senate, or elsewhere, to sneer at public merit because it happens to spring up beyond the little limits of my owq State or neighborhood; when f refuse, for any such cause or for any cause, the homage due to American talent, to elevated patriotism, to sincere devotion to liberty and country i or, if I see an uncommon endowment of heaven, if I see extraordinary capacity and virtue in any son of the South, and if, moved by local prejudice or gangrened by State jealousy, I get up here to abate the tithe of a hair from his just character and just fame. may my tongue cleave to the roof *of my*mouth."

Thus spoke Senator Webster concerning South Carolina and its fame. But he was not one who could rest with merefu praising t6e other fellow and the other state. Having poured his praise upon South Carolina, he turned to his own State of Massachusetts, and orated thusly: "Mr. President, f shall enter on no encomiums upon Massachusetts, she needs none. There she is ! Behold her, and judge for yourselves. There is her history; the world knows it by

heart. The past, at least, is secure. There is Boston, and Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill; and there they shall forever remain. The bones of her sons, falling in the great struggle for independence, now lie mingl'ed with the soil of every State from New England to Georgia; and there they will lie forever. And, Sir, where American Liberty'raised its 6rst voice, and where its youth was nurtured and sustained there it still lives, in the strength of its manhood and full ofits original spirit. If discord and disunion shall wound it, if party strife and blind ambition shall hawk at and tear it,if folly and inadness, if uneasiness under salutary and necessary restraint shall succeed in separating it from that Union by which alone its existence is made sure, it will stand, in the end, by the side of that cradle in which its infancy was rocked; it will stretch forth its arm with whatever vigor it may still retain over the friends who gather round it; and it will fall at last, if fall it must, amid the proudest monuments of its glory, and en the very spot of its origin."

Both ihese speakers, Webster and Hayne, in the main portions of their orations, struck mighty blows against the philosophies of the other; but they nevertheless departed from their subjects long enough to utter the quoted words. Their formula seemed to be, always say something in praise of the other fellow, while neglecting no opportunity to boost your own cause. In this particular debate of Webster versus trIayne their philosophy was beautifully illustrated. Even in political oratory, even in the stress of deep political emotion, courtesy can play a powerful part.***

It may probably be said without danger of argument, that in late years political oratory in this country has not been highlighted by the brand of gallantry and courtesy shown by Webster and Hayne; or to say that a fair sprinkling of the same would add a lot to the quality and effectiveness of our political campaigns. It would require almost a right-about-face to accomplish this, but wouldn't it be a grand change?

California Highway Patrol Will Enforce Gener.l Order 81.1 3

Order calls for'equipment oI vehicles with fenders, coverst or devices, including flaps or splosh dprons.

The following is a report of a meeting, June 27, of. the members of the Legislative Committee of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association, held at the request of the Association for the purpose of clarifying the intent of Highr','ay Patrol Headquarters General Order 81.13. The meeting was held in the Conference Room, Department of Public 'Works, Sacramento.

Commissioner Peterson and Captain Douarin represented the California Highway Patrol, and the Association was represented by: Vernon Chamberlen, Ernery L. Franzen, A. T. Hildman, H. \Mest, Jr., Wm. B. Berry, W. A' Carleton, David D. Fairbrother, C. W. Doe, Ernest McCollum, Gordon M. Wagenet, Harry Russell, H. W. McMahan, W. H. Harris and Nat Edwards, secretary of the Association.

Commissioner Peterson and Captain Douarin were firm in expressing the intention that all types of vehicles on the public high'rvays will be required to be in compliance with the order.

The subject discussed was the California Highway Patrol, Headquarters General Order 81.13, Re: Enforcement of Vehicle Code Section 678.5 (Fend'ers, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons).

Prior to the discussion Captain Douarin distributed copies of Highway Patrcl form letter 3.81.18, concerning legislation relating to mudgtrards, as follows:

"Assembly Bill No. 322, efrective Z2 September 1951, adds Section 678.5 to the Vehicle Code, to read as follows:

"No person shall operate on any highlvay any motor vehicle, trailer. or semitrailer unless equipped with fenders, covere. or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or uniess the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water.or mud to the rear of the vehicle. This section shall not apply to those vehicles exempt from registration under Section 142 not to any other vehicles having an unladen weight of under 1,500 pouirds.

"The provisions of subdivision (b) of Section 697 of. this code shall not apply to a vehicle when the excess length is caused by any parts required to comply with this section."

The language of the section of necessity is very broad and does not set out detailed specificatiorrs' It does, however, set up a standard for fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, which must be met, namely, that they shall "afford adequate protection to effectively rninimize the spiay or splash of water or mud to the rear of the vehicle." Therefore, where flaps or splash aprons' for example, are installed it is necessary to take into consideration tire size, width, and distance f-om the wheels that the devices are suspended, etc., in order to determine whether they are adequate for the purposes of the section.

The section does not require or authorize the Patrol to publish specifications for such protective devices and, owing

to the different types, sizes and body construction of vehicles subject to the section, it appears impractical to attempt to do so even as an administrative measure for the guidance of the Patrol. The test in each case is whether the particular installation effectively minimizes the spray or splash of watel' or mud to the rear of the vehicles'

The section applies to all: (1) Motor vehicles, (2) Trailers and (3) Semitrailers, except such vehicles as are exempt from registration under Vehicle Code Section 142 and except such vehicles as have an unladen weight of less than 1,500 pounds.

A pole or pipe dolly is a type of a trailer and therefore, subject to the exceptions noted, must meet the requirements of Section 678.5.

An auxiliary dolly and a semitrailer joined for the pur. pose of moving over the highways are to be considered for purposes of Section 678.5 (but not for registration) as one vehicle; namely, a trailer or semitrailer, which combined vehicle is subject to the section.

It will be considered unnecessary to add such protective devices to other than the rearmost wheels of a vehicle or combination of vehicles unless the body, or load, or attachments thereto, do not provide adequate protection to the rear from other wheels. This means, for example' that a truck tractor operating on the highway in conjunction with a semitrailer, the body, load or attachments of which effectively mask the wheels of the truck tractor, are not, while so operating, required to be equipped with further protective devices. When, however, the truck tractor is operating alone or in conjunction with a vehicle which does not give protection from the spray or splash of the wheels of the truck tractor, the truck tractor itself must be equipped with its own protective devices.

The section requires compliance with its terms whenever the vehicle is operating on the highu'ays. Accordingly, installations when required by the section are necessary at all times regardless of rveather conditions."

Captain Douarin distributed copies of Highway Patrol Headquarters General Order 81.13 as follows:

Policy: In the interest of uniformity. officers may consider flaps, fenders, or bodies which extend down to or below the 20 degree tangent-angle, when measured from the ground up (see diagram), as being in compliance with Vehicle Code Section 678.5, except in those cases where conditions definitely prove otherwise.

B : Purpose: To provide assistance in determining the adequacy of.the lengths of flaps and/or fenders.

C. Tangent-Angle: The term "tangent-angle" as uSed in this order is that angle or arc measured in degrees from ground level up to a line where the body, fender. or other

material blocks the spray and splash of water or mud to the rear. The base point is at the roadway directly below the center of the rearmost wheel (see diagram).

D. General: Requirements of similar iaws in ten other states have been reviewed before suggesting the following formula as a guide in checking flaps. Several of those states have provisions requiring tang_ent-angles ranging from 10 degrees to 221 degrees and one requires all flaps extend to within 6 inches of the roadway. Therefore, it appears that the provisions of Vehicle Code Section 678.5 will be satisfactorily complied with by the use of a 20 degree tangent-angle, when vehicle is unloaded.. '' '51

E. Formula:

Tohlcls Unloafletl

helght (tn tnctroE) '= .36 x dlatance (ln tnchea)

1. The above formula is a method of establishing the 20 degree tangent-angle in relation to a vehicle.

F. Enforcement:

1. If the body of a vehicle, or attachments thereto, are not sufficient to efiectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear, then fenders, flaps, and/or other devices shall at all times be in place.

2. Flaps should be sufficiently rigid to prevent them from swaying above the 20 degree tangent-angle when the vehicle is in motion.

3. Flaps, alone, may not be sufficient in all cases' Bodies of many trucks, trailers, and other vehicles do not afiord adequate protection against the spray of water to the rear, and a fender extending at least to the top-center of the rvheel is necessary in addition to flaPs.

1. Fenders, covers, and/or other devices may also be

required on the front rvheels of trailers and other vehicles rvhere the overhang of the sides of the body is not sufficient to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear of vehicle."

A general discussion of the difficulties involved in the application of the Order as regards !.ogging and lumber trucks and trailers ensued.

The conclusion can be well summed up by repeating in a few words the gist of Captain Douarin's lengthy remarks to the effect that a problem was created in the passage of the law by the Legislature. The problem is to "effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear of the vehicle." The remedy is not spelled out in the law. The ansrver is not up to the Highway Patrol. Compliance is t*re..function of the Patrol. The answer is up to the operalors .bf the vehicles.

It was,(uite evident that, in the opinion of the Patrol, compliance requires the covering of wheels, either by the truck body or by fenders and in addition, the use of an apron or mud flap where necessary, all of which must be in place rvhen the vehicle is on a public highway.

Compliance on logging trucks was described to present the greatest difficulty. Captain Douarin reported the problem had been solved on logging trucks operating in Oregon and agreed to furnish to this office a picture of such an equipped logging truck,'copies of which we agreed to distribute to the members of the Association' as soon as picture is available.

10th Annivers aty ol \(estern Pine Tree Farming Observed

Klamath Falls, August 9-The tenth anniversary of Tree Farming in the Western Pine Forests, of the United States was observed near here today at a simple woodland ceremony.

Speaking from a rustic rostrum on the Weyerhaeuser Timber company's 575,000-acre tree farm, estabtished a decade ago as the first tree farm in the l2-state Western Pine region, Guy Cordon, Oregon senator, commended the effort of private iandowners who engage in the business of timber growing. "These tree farmers are doing something for themselves something intrinsically good for the country and it's being done without a dash to the public treasury or help," he said.

"It is not in the public interest," Coldon asserted, "that all forest land be in public ownership. Yet there are some who feel only government ownership will solve our torestry problems. I know them to tie wrong."

Other speakers included: A. J. Glassow, of Bend, former president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association; R. R. Macartney, manager of Weyerhaeuser's Klamath Falls branch, said William H. Steiwer of Fossil, Oregon, a rancherTree Farmer.

Walter S. Johnson of San Francisco, president of the Western Pine association which sponsored the anniversary observance, presented tree farm certificates for additional acreage in Oregon to the Weyerhaeuser companv, Pilot Rock

Lumber company, Elk Lumber company and Brooks-Scanlon Lumber company.

J. L. Hendricks of Prineville, J. W. Southworth of Seneca, the I-akeview Logging company and Steiwer r,vere certified as new tree farmers.

Guests at the observance included a touring subcommittee of the House agricultural committee, William S. Hill (R-Colo.), Charles B. Hoeven (R-Iowa), James F. Lind (D-Penn.), Walter M. Mumma (R-Penn.), Harold A. Patten (D-Ariz.) and John C. Heimburger, committee counsel.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the more than 300 guests inspected forestry exhibits and were served a picnic lunch by the Weyerhaeuser company.

SIERRA RED\TOOD CO.

eortttnn Baol.--50 Yeq,rs in the Lumber Business

Fifty years ago, trn'o brothers, Charles P. and Frank Curran, opened a small of,fice at the Southern Pa'tific rightof-way and Garvey Avenue, Pomona, Calif. and started in the retail lumber business.

Today, after ir half century of enterprise, during which Pomona has grovun from a small community toa modern city, the business is still being operated by two Curran brothers, but they are the sons of Charles P. Curran.

Coming to California from Dixon, Illinois, Charles P. and Frank Curr;rn, located in Los Angeles. In 1902, Charles decided there wes a future for an enterprising lumber concern in Pomona, and accompanied by his brother, Frank, started a retail yard there, operating under the name of Curran Bros. They ordered their first car of lumber on June 20, lX)2.

For three years after they began operations, they devoted their energies to promoting their business. In 1905, Frank was offered an unusual opportunity with E. K. Wood Lumber Co. and left Pomona to make his headquarters in Los Angeles, where he advanced steadily until he became general manager of the E. K. Wood interests in Southern California.

For five years, Charles P. Curran directed the management of the company. In 1910, his son, Gerald V. Curran

Pomona, Colilornia

joined him in the business and in 1911, his eldest son, Phil J. Curran, became associated with the organization. In 1915, Frank Curran sold his interests to his brother and his two nephews, and at this time the company was operating yards in three other cities, San Fernando, Fillmore and Lancaster. On the rvithdrawal of Frank Curran from the organization, Charles retained the Pomona and Fillmore yards, and Frank took those at San Fernando and Lancaster. Frank sold the Lancaster and San Fernando yards in 7917 , and the Fillmore yard was sold in 1922.

Curran Bros. was incorporated in 1910. When Charles P. Curran passed away in 1933 the firm rvas disincorporated and a partnership was formed betrveen Phil J. Curran and Gerald V. Curran.

The firm has been at the same location for 50 years. Part of the yard was destroyed by fire in l9D, and the present office was built in 1930. The office was remodeled in 1937, the work including the razing of the old front and replacing it rvith a new one. The lumber shed is 75 leet wide, and 370 feet long, including a driveway down the center. The shed has a capacity of 1,000,000 feet, and both upper grades and common lurnber are stored under cover. A spur railroad track runs into the yard.

The Curran brothers take an active part in the civic

affairs of Pomona. Gerald is a director of the Pomona First National Saving: and Loan Association, and a member of the Elks Club and American Legion. Phil is a director of the Los Angeles County Fair, treasurer of Old Baldy Boy Scout Council, and a member of the Kiwanis Club and American Legion.

As lumbermen, they take an active part in association affairs. Gerald is former treasurer of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, having served in that capacity for 15 years.

Mrs. Joan Tate, daughter of Gerald V. Curran, has charge of the office for Curran Bros. She was arl/ay on vacation when the Merchant's staff photographer took the accomppnying pictures.

Curran Bros. has played a prominent part in the growth of Pomona and the valley in a building way. This being the firm's golden anniversary, they are distributing to their customers and friends a gold colored pencil that carries the company's name and the following inscription, "serving You for 50 years."

FNMA To Resume Purchase of FHA-lnsured and VA-Guaranteed Mortgages

The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) u'ill resume the purchase on September 2 of. eligible FHAinsured and VA-guaranteed mortgages on non-defense and non-disaster housing, A$ministrator Raymond M. Foley of the Housing and Home Finance Agency announced August 22. Such purchases were discontinued last April 2 except for mortgages which had been offered prior to that date.

At the time of the discontinuance FNMA explained that there were no longer funds available for the purchase of non-defense housing mortgages. Sipce then, however, the Housing Act of 1952 made available $362,000,000 previously set aside for defense, military and disaster housing mortgages. Repayments and other credits have brought the total now available for non-defense and non-disaster housing mortgages to approximately $400,000,000.

Consistent with provisions of the amendments to the Housing Act of 1952, FNMA has made several important changes and additions to the general requirements in connection with the purchase of non-defense or non-disaster mortgages. Tlrey include:

1. The mortgage, to be eligible for purchase by FNMA, must have been insured by FHA or guaranteed by VA subsequent t<., February 29, 1952.

New lJkich Sqwmill Plant Completed €rnd Running

The sawmill of the Ukiah Lumber Company, at Potter Valley, California, which was destroyed by fire more than a year ago, has been entirely replaced by a very modern mill that will cut about 24,M,0n feet of lumber a year.

Floyd Crenshaw is manager.

The sawmill equipment consists of a nine foot headrig and a six foot resaw with automatic feed. It is one of the most thoroughly modern mills in the country.

The modern planer and dry kilns were not destroyed by the fire last year, so the entire plant is now in full operation.

2. Not more than S0% of. the dollar amount of VA mortgages and qot more than 25/o of. the dollar amount of FHA mortgages originated by a seller, subsequent to February 29. t952, may be offered for purchase by FNMA. Previously there was no limit on VA mortgages and, 50/o on FHA mortgages.

3. I-inder revised fees and charges requirements, sellers will be obliged to agree to refund the builders any form of indemnity held by the seller under a so-called "repurchase" agreement.

In the preliminary consideration of the Housing Act of 1952, proposals were made before the Banking committees of both Houses for a one-for-one type of operation under u'hich an organization that purchased. mortgages from FNMA's portfolio would acquire aright, in turn, to sell mortgages to FNMA in the future. While no specific legislation dealing with this proposal was enacted, Mr. Foley said the Board of Directors of FNMA is now considering whether a similar type of operation may be developed within the- authority of existing law and made applicable to FNMA's revolving fund purchase authorization. It would not, of course, apply to the $400,000,000 existing purchase authorization referred to above.

Northern California Southern Pacific Trce Farms Dedicated

man of the California State Board of Forestry; and Walter Johnson, president of the 'Western Pine Association.

Mr. Johnson, in presenting the tree farm certificates to Young, said Southern Pacific Tree Farms are the largest in California.

"This ceremony marks the most progressive step Southern Pacific has 'taken in the management of its timber lands," Young said in a speegh of welcome to the more than 90.guests who attended.

Certification of Southern Pacific Tree Farms by the Western Pine Association increased tree farm acreage in California by one-third from 1,200,000 acres to 1,600,000 acres, Rosecrans said.

Dean Baker spoke on the value of scientific management of forest lands.

"Tree farming means the management of forest lands on a sustained yield basis," he said. "ft involves profitable use of the land for its owners, without impairment to the land's natural resources."

A total of 4Z5,ON acres of land in northern California was dedicated as Southern Pacific Tree Farms Thursday, July 31, in a ceremony near Minersville attended by state and federal conservation officials, and representatives of the lumber industry and the raiiroad.

The land is divided into six tree farm units located in eight counties. Much of it is virgin forest, according to Louis Frandsen land commissioner of the raiilroad.

The six units, their acreage and location, are:

'Irinity River unit, 150,000 acres in Trinity County; Scott River unit, 35,000 acres, Siskiyou County; Feather Falls unit, 15,000 acres, Butte and Plumas Counties; Yuba River unit, 65,000 acres, Sierra, Nevada, and Placer Counties; Sacramento River unit, 120,000 acres, Shasta and Trinity Counties; and Mt. Shasta unit, 4O,000 acres, Siskiyou County.

The dedication ceremony was held on a site in the Trinity River unit. Speakers included L. B. Young, president of Southern Pacific Land Co. and assistant to the president, Southern Pacific Co.; Frederick S. Baker, dean of the school of forestry, University of California; W. S. Rosecrans, chair-

Among officials who attended the dedication were DeWitt Nelson, state forester of California, and Deputy State Forester John Calishan; Robert Leavitt, supervisor of Trinity National Forest; Roberts E. Jones, supervisor of Shasta National Forest; J. J. Prendergast and E. D. Hardison, members of the state board of forestry; J. K. Holly, R. B. Chancellor and. I. Karrer, Trinity County supervisor; C. H. Laffranchini, Trinity County tax assessor and collector; Walter Rountre.r, deputy attorney general of California; William Schofie!d. secretary of the Califor:nia Redwood Association; and F. B. Magruder, tax commissioner of the Southern Pacific Co.

As the mills in the redwood region increasingly utilize what has been waste material, Mr. Dimitroff will soon be able to secure the type of redwood needed for picture frames and other molding. Right now most of his wood comes from Indiana and Georgia.

Santa Clara, Calif.-Donald E.

Whcr Is A Boy?

(The following delightful essay was written by Beck" New England Life Insurance Company, arld printed from "The Mitre.")

Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful "riatur" called a Uoy. ioys come in assorted sizes, weights, and colbrs, but all boys have tfie same creed: To enjoy every second of every day and to protest with noise (their only weapon) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night.

Boys are found ever5i'rnrhere-on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Feauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the Hope of the futurewith a frog in its pocket.

When you are busy, a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or el'se he becomes a savage,.sadistic, jungle creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it. A boy is a composite-he has the appetite of a horse, the digestion of a sword swallower, the energy of a ppcket-size atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of i dictator, the imagina_ tion of a Paul Bunyon, the shyness of a violet, the audacity of a steel trap, the enthusiasm of a firecracker, and when he makes something'he has five thumbs on each hand.

He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, the boy across the street, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday morning, and fire engines., He is not much for Sunday school, company, schoglS, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime. Nobody else is so early to rise or so late to supper. Nobody'else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can crbm into one pocket a rusty knife, a half-eaten apple, three feet of string, an empty Bull Durham sack, t*o gr,*_ drops, six cents, a sling shot, a chunk of some unknown substance, and a supersonic code ring with a secret com_ partment.

Logiccrl?

The old employe had gotten into the habit of arriving at the office late nearly every morning, and the boss decided he would put'a stop to it. So he said to him:

"Bob, you are late again. You should have been here an hour ago."

"I know," said thq genial old timer, ..but an hour ago I wouldn't have been good to you. I was asl,eep."

Forget It

If you see a tall fellow ahead of the crowd, A leader of men, marching fearless and proud, And you Lrrow of a tale whose mere telling aloud Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed, It's a pretty good plan to forget it.

If you know of a skeleton hidden away

In a chest and guarded and kept from the day

In the dark, and whose showing, whose sudden display Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong dismay, ft's a pr;s11y good plan to forget it.

If you know of a thing that will darken the joy

Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy That will wipe out a smile, or the least way annoy A fellow or cause any gladness to cloy, It's a pretty good plan t9 forget it.

-Jud Mortimer Lewis.

The Doctor's Dicrgnoses

A boy is a magical creature-.-you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can,t get hirn out of your mind. Might as well give up-he is your captor, your jailerr /our boss, and your master-a freckle_faced. 'pint-size, cat-chasing, bundle of noise. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with the two magic words-"Ili Dad !"

Housing Starts Remain Abovc 100,000 Mark During July

Housing starts held strong during July, when 1O4,000 new permanent non-farm dwelling units were put under construction, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. A small increase ih private housing was offset by a drop in publicly owned units, resulting in an over-all 2,000-unit decline from June in the total number of new dwelling units put under construction. Nevertheless, the July total was 13,500 units greater than a year ago, and the largest for the month of July in any year except 1950.

During the first seven months of 1952, a total of. 669,700 new dwelling units were begun-10,800 short of the comparable total for 1951. However, private housing started thus far ln 1952 (624,1A0 units) exceeded last year's JanuaryJuly volume by 8,200 units, while the number of publicly owned units begun (45,600) represented a 19,000-unit drop from last year's volume for the first seven months.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, preliminary estimates indicate that total housing starts (private and public) were at an annual rate of 1,088,000 during july, compared with June's annual rate of 1,063,000.

Forty years ago railroads considered treated ties a good investment with fifteen years life; today they are looking forward to a forty-year life for their treated railroad tir:s.
