Double-Waterprooled

WATERPROOFED INSIDE!

5 Every one of the millions of tough cane fibres which make up its insulating core board is coated with a waterproofing agent during manufacture.

WATERPRooFED ourstDE!

V This remarkably strong, durable insulating board is then coated on both sides, and on all edges, with a thick, enduring "raincoat" of speciallytreated asphalt which seals out moisture.

* Yes, double-waterprooJed., yet it has more than twice the vapor permeability advocated by government agencies!

* Safe even under severe exposure during construction! Even cut edges are highly resistant to moisture penetration.

* Enables contractor to resume work more quickly after the heaviest rain, thus cutting costly delays.

* Protected against dry rot, termites, and fungus by the exclusive Ferox process.

* Combines exceptional structural strength and rigidity with high thermal insulation.

* Builds and insulates, all at one low cost, yet costs no more than ordinary sheathing.

* Write today for full details !

perhaps more like him than like any other sp€aker or writer.

You will thrill with patriotism as you digest the words of this gallant man. Early in the book he explains his own life's ambitions very tersely and very.plainly, saying, "I have always faithfully served two public causes which, I think, stand supreme-the maintenance of the enduring greatness of Britain and her Empire, and the historical continuity of our island life."

'F**

And I chuckled with admiration for the man's dominant thought-British loyalty-when he says, "I would make all boys learn English; and then I would let the clever ones learn Latin as an honor, and Greek as a treat. But the one thing I would whip them for is not knowing English; I would whip them hard for that." And he slyly adds that no teacher or professor ever succeeded in teaching him even a bit of Latin or OT.1 *

Sam Wood died the other day. And when he died suddenly, passing from high noon to dark night, he went as f am certain he would have wished to go. He had been a very warm friend of mine for many years. Ffe was a gifted and talented maker of moving pictures; one of the few great directors. The fineness of the man was refected in the movies he made. And in all of them there was to be found a plea for patriotism, for devotion to country and fag, for Sam Wood was one of the most patriotic living Americans.

*tF,F

I am mentioning Sam Wood at this time because he was one of the bitterest anti-Communists in this whole nation; one who hated the thing with a mighty hate, and fought it as he would fight a hydrophobia polecat. He was the outstanding leader of the active anti-Communists in the moving picture industry, and death came to him as he was attending a meeting of leaders in the industry who ape fighting a death battle against the inroads of Communism'

I learned much about Communism in Hollywood from Sam Wood in many private conversations on the subject I have had with him. He fairly spit fire when he mentioned them. He wanted to see every Communist driven out of this country with a whip of fire. He wanted to see the Comrnies in the' movies publicized and held up to public scorn. I have asked him in our talks to name the worst Commies in the movies, and he would reel off a list. That list went on my personal black list from then on. Never do f enter a movie theatre where the name of one of those men appears. I only wish it had been possibtre for him to publicly black-list them so that every citizen might enjoy staying away from every pcture they touch. But that time has not arrived, and now Sam Wood is gone, and his brave lips are sealed. It was .a bad day for the people of this nation and for the movie industry in particular, when Sam Wood died.

The other day I went to listen to a public address by another man who hates Com,rnunism and Communists, and who pursues them with his hatred in every way at his command. He was Rupert Hughes, gifted writer, eloquent speaker, splendid thinker, and highly patriotic American. Mr. Hughes pulled no punches. He talked of Communists generally in this country, and Communists in the movie industry in particular. He named nannes, many of them; called them "traitors, scoundrels, low life dogs," and declared that he had called many of them that to their faces. He called on America to stop temporizing with these indefensible traitors and handle them as men should be handled who threaten the welfare of this nation.

He quoted J. Edgar Hoover as saying that there are today 825;0@ Communists, fellow travelers, and Communist co-workers in the United States. If you think things can't happen here, he said, remember that there were only 67,000 Communists in Russia when they seized all power in a. nation of over two hundred million people. He threw verbal rocks at the many ministers of the gospel in the United States who defend the so-called rights of Communists to speak in public against this government and in favor of Russia. That has happened of late. He asked how many of these preachers have stopped to think that in Russia today there are more than fifteen million people dying in boncentration camps, tens of thousands of them nainisters of the gospel, who tried to speak their honest minds and their religious beliefs, in Russia.

He fairly shot fire into the air of the room when he talked about Stalin. ("Good old Joe") He said that in all the history of this earth there has never lived so horrible a creature as Joe Stalin, who heads a government of butchery and .treachery. He said that Attila the Hun \ ras a kindly gentleman compared with the "foul, treacherous, murderous Stalin." He told with details of the deliberate killing by starvation of three mllion Russians under Stdin, followed by the deliberate murder of about three million more who died because they opposed wholesale murder by

While I am not now in business, I am still interested in what is happening in the lumber industry and enjoy reading your interesting "Lumber Merchant."

I have had access to it or iubscribed for it many years and am writing because of interest in your August lst editorial in which you mentioned that some day your ambition might overcorne your laziness and you would publish a book of your Vagabond Editorials. This would be a fine thing to do, but just for fear that your laziness might overcome your ambition, I have kept your editorials, Fun Facts Filosophy, and Favorite Stories for the past ten years and bound them in convenient volumes. I get a lot of pleasure out of reading them, especially because of the many changes that have taken place in the U.S.A.

Thanks for the many uplifting articles and may you continue to write them for many, many years.
