The Los Angeles Times printed a little editorial the other day that expressed the feelings of most good Americans. ft read: "The inference that the first responsibility for providing citizens with adequate support in their old age rests upon the government, may be consistent with President Truman's spending program, but it is foreign, European, Marxist, Socialistic, or whatever you want to call it. It ISN'T American. The American idea is that the first obligation to provide for himself rests on the citizen. * * * It is NOT and ought not to be a government obligation to provide 'adequate' social security. The word should be 'minimum' instead of 'adequate.' It is important to the American way of life that every man, or at least every family, should be encouraged to stand on his own feet and make his own way in the world. Society shouldn't let anybody starve; but it should expect that everyone will pull his own weight so far as he can. For his own sake it should not help him to become a parasite."

James F. Byrnes recently said that the road we are traveling could well make "galley slaves" out of our people. Ike Eisenhower said something like it. So did Herbert I{oover, and Barney Baruch, and innumerable lesser lights of the "selfish interests." fn a letter before me a friend says: "Every time we lend our support to any 'deal' designed to place undue power in the hands of .government bureaus while curtailing our constitutional rights, we are, perhaps unconsciously, helping to scrap the American way, which through the years has given our people prosperity the like of which was never enjoyed by other nations. Under it the descendants of immigrants, farmers, blacksmiths, etc., are given the opportunity of becoming leaders in every field. Under it we have become the inspiration and the guiding light and the hope of unhappy people throughout the world. Would any thinking person change it for government absolutism?"

Another message before me reads: "We seem to be suffering from moral bankruptcy in this country. No one seems greatly concerned with government spending and wasting. Fraud and dishonesty is simply taken as a matter of course, and people wink at it instead of being outraged"t

The First National Bank of Boston in a published letter, made the fol6wing statements : "Tn 1929 federal spending amounted to less than two-thirds of the personal income of the inhabitants of California. By 1947 federal expenditures were approximately equal to the total personal income of all the inhabitants of California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and four-fifths of Texas. Federal expenditures amounted 1e $121 per family in 1929, $250 in 1938, and about $984 in 1948. Remember that these figures represent the spending of the federal government only. When state and local government spending is added, the total amounts to some 30 per cent of our national income. In other words the American people gpend nearly one-third of their working time and effort to support their various governments.

Let us give thanks and rejoice at this time that there are definite signs of improvement in the lumber markets of the nation. Southern Yellow Pine showed the first signs of definite improvement. For many weeks in a row the sales of Southern Pine lumber have far exceeded production and shipments, and the market is steadily strengthening. The Doullas Fir market, after slumping slowly for some time, took a sudden turn for the better, and the price of common Fir has been steadily improving. Other species also report improvement. Hardwood fooring, which dragged sadly for a long time, is showing greatly improved market strength. * * when r saw kids troopin*i"Jo to school the other day, it brought to mind my favorite school story. I've told it before, and probably will again. On the opening day of school a mother brings her little girl to the first grade teacher, and is told that because the kid has not yet reachdd her sixth birthday, they cannot enroll her, the minimum age being six. The mother insists that her girl knows enough to qualify with children much older than she is, and urges the teScher to talk to her and satisfy herself. The teacher says to the kid: "All right, little girl, let me hear you use some words." The youngster looks puzzled, and then asks: "You want me to use some purely irrelevant words?"

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the lumber markets generally kept right on improving. By the time the dead of winter comes building will of course be curtailed in the northern regions, but to compensate for that there are innumerable sawmills that must close as soon as freezing weather starts in various parts of the country. The need for housing and for building materials continues great. I think much of the improvement to the lumber market is based on the greater selling and merchandising efforts of the industry. Selling time is back again, everyone in the lumber business realizes it, and tens of .thousands of lumber salesmen are making two or more orders appear where only one was in sight.
