Pretty Tough

By J.J. Montague

Much fault with trees has long been found, Because their trunks are fashioned round, And when sawed up leave bulging flanks, Which will not serve at all as planks. If trees grew square, the mill men say, Their cares would vanish all away, So men have searched the Seven Seas To try and find square-sided trees.

If trees would only saw themselves, In shingles, lath, and pantry shelves, And turn themselves to tidy rows, Of small suburban bungalows, Or fall apart in any plan

That fitted with the needs of man. What stacks of money could be made, By people in the lumber trade.

Too bad that everything of worth

Produced by this imperfect earth, The trees, the stones, the coal, the oilInvolves, in getting, so much toil.

Too bad that m4n, who would prefer

To lie around and never stir

Where fields are green and skies are blue, Has alvrays so much work to do.

Self-Preservqtion

"Please be careful as you walk across my hardwood foors," said the lady of the house to the plumber who had come to fix the bath.room.

"Don't worry about me slipping, lady," the plumber answered. "I always wear hob-nailed shoes."

The educated man is a man with certain subtle spiritual qualities which make him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of that rvord in all the affairs of life.

A man may smile in the face of death, But never will there be found, A man who can draw a placid breattq With his garters coming down.

Disinterested?

"Why do you weep over the sorrows of people in whom you have no interest, when you go to the theatre?" he asked.

"I don't know," replied the lady, "unless it's for the same reason you cheer wildly when a man with whom you are not even personally acquainted makes a long run for a touchdown."

Love ond Friendship

"That I am unable to appreciate that Platonic yearning of soul for soul, that deep calling unto deep of which I have read, is .my misfortune rather than my fault. It app€ars to me too niuch like voting the Prohibition ticket or playing poker with Confederate currency.

"When I love a woman, I love her up one side and down the other. I may be an uncultured and barbaric noodle, but I want to get hold of her and bite her neck. I rvant to cuddle her sunny curls on my heaving shirt-front when I talk to her. I believp with Tennyson in the spirits rushing together at the touching of the lips, and I just crowd up and let'em rush.

"Some men may esteem women for their society with never a though.t of sex, but that isn't love. Love, as I understand the term, is to friendehip's nonconsuming flame what the fierce glare of the noonday sun is to the mild radiance of the harvest moon. It is something that makes two persons of the opposite sex absolutely necessary to each other. It is a glory in which the soul is bathed; an almost savage melody that beats within the blood. Love is not altogether of the earth earthly. It is born of the spirit, as well as the flesh; of the perfume, as well as the beauty of the great red rose."

-Wm. Cowper Brann

"Papa," queried the sqn, "What is the person called who brings you in contact with the spirit world?"

"A bartender, my son," replied the father.

NCIC Eyes Hoo-Hoo Affiliqtion

The Northn estern California Lumbermen's Club, Eureka, is circularizing its membership on rvhether ttr-rey wish to join the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo. Snark of the Universe Dave Davis and Hoo-Hoo Club 9 President Al Bell, San Francisco, attended the NCLC's latest meeting to present an invitation to affiliate with Hoo-Hoo. Ballots are now in the hands of the members.

NCI-C President Al Thraser cited these merits for afrflliation : association with an organization of 18,000 lumltermen, the international convention, and the fact that many NCLC members are already Hoo-Hoo. Merits for cbntinuing the club as it is rvere cited : the closer, more local nature of the NCLC; the fact it is the only lumbermen's club in the U.S. not now a Hoo-Hoo club; the members who are not l-umbermen but in close, allied industry and who could belong as associate mem!,ers but would not be able to vote, hold office or attend concatenations, and the additional dues.

The NCLC already has a Hoo-Hoo charter for the area and can hold a concatenation at any time desirable. The directors and officers declared they will take any action in line with a majority wish of its members. The NCLC's next meeting will be this month.

R. A. SchzLub, NRLDA's president, states that the dis- play panels are ideal for any yard, large or small, and provide a basic unit around which any display can be built.

The display panel has been approved by the association's con-rmittee on education and merchandising and by its board of directors. A color slide program explaining the idea in detail and showing numerous panels in actual use has been prepared to assist NRLDA's federated associations in promoting the idea among their members.
