PONDEROSA PINE 'NOULDINGS

Humor From The Sun Lumber Yard

The Sun Lumber Company, operated by the Burnaby Boys at Van Nuys, California, gets out a snappy little multigraphed house organ once each month, full of news and other matter of interest to its employees. In a recent issue of "Sun Strokes," as they call it, there is an article headed "Helpful Hints To the New Man," written by Don Montrose, one of the boys in the Sun offrce, which is full of good-humored reading. Here it is: l-Always carry a book of gradirlg rules in your pocket, and always be careful to keep it carefully pocketed at all times.

.Z-It is well to remember that while knotless lumber is always clear, clear lumber is not always knotless.

3-Bear in mind that while common lumber commonly bears knots, non-common lumber is commonly without the bare knots that are common to the common lumber of the accepted grades of common.

4-A board that is either wholely knotty or wholely knotholey, should never be mixed with the other grades of knotty or knotholey lumber. Make it a rule that whenever you discover more than a single piece of these types, to lay them to one Side and consult your foreman at once . he will summon the ambulance.

S-When loading common lumber be very careful to examine BOTH sides of each and every board for knotholes. If the knotholes are only on one side and do not penetrate all the way through, you may safely place them
