Redwood, with all of its inherent qualities, is recognized as one of nature's finest woods. By the same token, redwood logs are known to contain the rnost of the best texture and grain required for fine quality construction, But, the final quality and grade of redwood is determined in the mill by the manner in which logs are converted into finished lumber. Herein lies the secret of Palco Redwood's excelling quality-os the finest redwood that's prduced.It's the best of the best.

The Southern California Retail Lumber Association held its semi-annual conference September 26,27, and 8, at the llotel del Coronado, Coronado, California.
This semi-annual meeting is not in the nature of an open convention, and was attended only by retailers of lumber, and by the prin'cipals in the various concerns. The first meeting of the kind was held last year at Lake Arrowhead, and proved such a success that they tried it again, and the 1951 conference proved an even greater success. The meetings are largely informal. The men who own and operate the lumber yards simply get together and talk things over.
Orrie W. Hamilton, of Los Angeles, executive vice president of the Association made the arrangements, built up the program, and managed the affair throughout in his customary finished style. Most of the delegates brought their ladies along, and the meeting was a success socially as well as otherwise.
A committee of San Diego lumbermen made the local arrang'ements, and did a fine job, the committee being George Cordrey, of the Patten-Blinn Lumber Company, San Diego; C. E. Irving, Western Lumber Company; W. S. Cowling, Dixie Lumber & Supply Company; and Harry A. McGahey, San Diego Lumber Company.
The meeting started with registration the morning of the 26th, follo'ived by a group luncheon in the main dining room of the Hotel. That afternoon there was a tea and fashion show for the ladies. The annual banquet took place that night in the main dining room of the hotel. I{. Park Arnold, vice president and general manager of the Fox-Woodsum Lumber Company, Glendale, was the speaker of the' evening. lle was introduced by Jack Dionne. He delivered an inspirational address on "Freedom Is Not Free," warning Americans against the dangers that beset us frorn rvithin.
On Thursday noon there was a lunch around the hotel pool, with a water aquacade for entertainment. A Canasta tournament for the ladies was held in the hotel ball room Thursday afternoon, with Mary Cou'ling, Agnes Irving, Ida Parker, Louise Hamilton, and Ina McGahey acting as hostesses. There was dinner ln the ball room, dancing in the circus room, and bingo in the ballroom that night. The meeting closed with a luncheon in the main dining room on Friday, September 28.
There were several real highlights to thc business program. Everett C. Parker, president of the Association, held his audience in interested attention while he arrayed amazing facts and figures to sho'iv rvhat it costs to operate a lumber yard in Southern California today. Leo E. Hubbartl, secretary of the Hayu'ald Lumber & fnvestment Company, held the floor for several hours talking on the new lien law that went into efiect on September' 22, and answered an army of questions on details of the new law. Mr. Hubbard
is a lien law specialist, as well as a man well able to think on his feet. He really gave a great performance. And Hal V. Simpson, of Portland, Oregon, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, spoke for more than two hours on the entire Douglas Fir situation, likervise answering innumerable cluestions propounded. from the floor. Mr. Simpson is one of the keenest men in the entire lumber industry of the nation, and a great catch-ascatch-can rough-and-tumble orator. A mighty storehouse of Iumber and timber information of the most practical character, he put on a great show.
E. C. Parker was chairman of the Wednesday afternoon session; Rexford L. Hall was in charge of the banquet Wedr.resday night; Lathrop K. Leishman, Crown City Lumber & Mill Company, Pasadena, was chairman Thursday morning; H. Park Arnold was chairman of the Thursday afternoon session; and Thomas J. Fox, John W" Fisher Lumber Company, Santa Monica, lvas chairman of the final session Friday morning.
One of the interesting speakers at the meeting was Homer H. Burnaby, vice president and general manager, Sun Lumber Company, who told "How to cheat your customers, vour competitors, and yourself." Wayne F. Mullin, general manager, the Mullin Lumber Company, talked on "Safety Practices," and 'rvho was assisted on this subject by Cliff Gorce, Hammond Lumber Company, Jim K. Lawler, Patten-Blinn Lumber Company, and Glenn M. Miner, WhitingMead Company. Ralph N. Baker, who is vice president and manager of the Barr Lumber Company, at Santa Ana, talked on "Nlerchandising With Knowledge," and invested most of his time explaining how valuable could be a cost information program.
Ben M. Bartels, J. H. Cline, and E. J. Thompson, all with The Peoples Lumber Company in Ventura County, put on a program of their own, discussing and demonstrating detailed ideas in merchandising building materials. Mr. Cline started fireworks by stvitching to politics, and suggesting that all good men get together and drive the "racketeers" out of Washington. He got a lot of applause.
Mr. Cline also put some humor into his remarks. He said that when he heard Leo Hubbard tell horv difficult it is for a dealer to protect his collections, he decided to g<t home and put the business on a ,cash basis; when he heard Park Arnold tell how dangerous is our national situatior.r, he decided to go home and say his prayers; but rvhen lre heard E. C. Parker tell how fast the cost of business is rising, he decided to sell out. Mr. Cline is from Santa Paula, Mr. Thompson from Oxnard, and Mr. Bartels, general manager of The Peoples Lumber Cornpany, is from Ventura.
The meeting closed Friday noon rvith appropriate remarks from President Parker.

The experience of Associated Plywood Mills dates frcm 1921. That is a long time in the relatively young plywood industrylong enough to mark APMI as one of the pioneers in the development and growth of this important building product.
The rich, rain forests of Oregon yield the fine Douglas fir that comes to APMI mills. These mills are among the largest and most modern in the plywood industry. They pro' duce quality exterior and interior panels thrt arc grademarked and trademarked.
APMI plywood is available in major building and distribution areas. Your in' quiries ate welcomed at our general offices, or at APMI sales watehouses.

"No statesman at home or abroad is considered successful any longer unless he is able to evolve a great new plan to let everybody except the American worker get his fingers in the American taxpayers' pockets up to his sllevy5."-Qeneral Patrick J. Hurley, former Secretary of War, and former Ambassador to China.
There is one a"p"t*-Jrra r, "* government spending whose unpopularity is becoming continually more evident in Washington, and that is foreign aid in terms of billions, and in ways and manners that the taxpayers who put up the cash can learn little about. So loud are the protestations against this continual broadcasting of our tax money, that even those who have been so blind that they would not see, are showing signs of awakening to realities.
rf,8*
I have just been listening to a Washington commentator talking on that subject, and he made the statement that orders have gone out from spending headquarters for more careful screening of projects abroad that American money is to finance. Up to this moment there can be no doubt that General Hurley's statement printed above has been based on facts. The royal road to success for many men has been find'ing new ways for spending our cash abroad.
:8*:k
I read that since 1946 the United States has given more than thirty-six billions of dollars worth of help to other nations, and we are told that in the next three years we will be asked to shell out about twenty-five billions more. Most of it has gone to Europe, but billions have gone to other places. About one-fifth of the money is supposed to be loans, but it would be an optimist indeed who would expect to get back as much as two bits of it.
,trI*
Senator Byrd, (D) Virginia, the most economy minded man in official Washington, proposed that we give our taxpayers a rest and cut out all economic aid for Europe this year, but his proposal lost by ten votes. He announced that trying to cut economic aid was difficult because the Marshall Plan headquarters could not supply a specific program of projects being financed, or whose financing was in prospect. One trouble with trying to save the taxpayer money through reduction of foreign aid spending is the manner in which these funds are voted. The President asks for a lump sum, and there are no opportunities for Congress to review the spending plans, as it could if the money were to be spent at home for specific projects.
We have, according to experts, built new roads in Africa, financed soil conservation in Algeria, helped with insect control in Burma, and with water supply in Morocco, to mention a few of hundreds. We have financed huge oil refineries in Europe, U. S. Senator Wherry told the Senate in one report that we have helped finance six new steel plants in Austria, six new steel plants and three new power plants in France, and eleven new power plants in Italy. These, he said, cost the U. S. taxpayers about one hundred and eighty millions of dollars. He said that the Marshall Plan has set aside $17,000,000 for the Belgian Congo, to be used for nobody knows what.
President Truman ""tla Io, h,roo,o00,0o0 for foreign aid this year, and both House and Senate cut it sharply, and, in addition, moved to deprive the State Department of control and spending of the money. The announced aim and ambition of the planners and spenders is to assist the rest of the world toward economic and financial stability. But there are probably one hundred and fifty million Americans who, if they could vote on the matter right now, would say it is time to get those people off our sore backs.
My friend Kenneth Smith, of San Francisco, a lumberman who thinks it his duty to warn his fellow men of the dangers he sees around us, has been making some mighty fine speeches on the subject: "ff I were a free man." And he tells of the things he would and would not do had he the same control over his own affairs and his own income that Americans enjoyed for more than one hundred years. Following that same line of thought and applying it to the subject of foreign non-military spending, I rise to remark that if f were a free man not one cent of my earnings or the tax money I pay should be longer wasted trying to fill up the rat holes of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Not one red cent !
The time will come
get a chance to audit the books on the billions that this nation has sent abroad, and when it does I have an idea there will be a lot of spenders and $rasters hunting holes to hide in. We have had that over-generous helping hand out for a lot of years now. If the rest of the world that we have helped so abundantly can't stand without our aid today, it never will. We owe something to ourselves.
But the spending and wasting will never stop unless we stop it. Recently the foreign ministers of the Atlantic Pact countries held a meeting in Ottawa, Canada. And the (Continued on Page 9)

While the recent amendments to the National Production Authority's construction regulation tightened the restrictions on metals, the amendments relaxed in general the over-all restrictions on building. In short, the regulations now provide that persons may build homes of any size or value so long as they stay within specified limitations for copper, steel, and aluminum.
The problem facing the home builder now, is how to stretch his allowed use of critical metals. The answer lies in wood ! Plumbing and electrical systems will continue to depend largely on the metals; but traditionally the United States has built substantial homes with lumber and lumber products. New and improved methods of engineering in wood, better and more rapid seasoning facilities, ready availability at your retail lumber yard, the development of modern finishes and paints-all these make wood increasingly attractive as the Number One lfome Building Material.
Engineering in wood has produced designs rvhich not only save metals, but actually save on the use of wood itself. Wood trussed construction, utilizing the Teco connector', for example, not only produces a saving in lumber but reduces construction costs and time. What is more, it results in a sturdy, attractive building.
The new homes of 1952 will feature the use of timber beams, rafters and joists, attractive wood millwork and interior finish, and rust-proof wood windows. Wood interior paneling has brought new interest, new character and new beauty to the interior of today's homes. Some of the most distin,ctive and best looking "character marked" rooms in the small, but smart new homes going on the market today feature wood walls produced from lumber and hardwood plywoods. Home owners and prospective buyers find wood paneled walls take a home out of the "just-another-house" class. Beautifully grained boards finished to the owner's taste are far richer than any wallpaper that can be obtained and it eliminates forever the necessity of periodic repapering or painting. Properly finished, wood paneling is practically a permanent interior decoration.
Cost has always been an important factor to the home builder. While many home builders as well as construction men realize that pound for pound lumber can do as much work as any other building material, few home builders realize that, properly engineered, lumber can be superior on a cost-for-cost comparison as well.
In home building there is no substitute for space. Wood frame construction means low initial cost and greater fexibility in space design. Trussed rafters provide post-free interiors and greater living space.
One often hears the remark, "My grandfather built his house of wood, and it is still standing; but in his day they
had better wood than we can buy today'" This, say the technicians at National Lumber Manufacturers Association, is sheer nonsense. Wood today is no different from that in grandfather's day, nor in the day of his grandfather. But, today there have been developed better ways to use wood, and better ways to preserve it in use. That grandfather's house is still standing despite the abuse of the years is a tribute to the native durability of wood; but his grandson's house, built of the same native woods, better manufactured and selected for jobs they have to do, will be a more comfortable and more attractive structure for a considerably longer time.
For the amateur home maker, the man who likes to add utility and attractiveness through his own handirvork, wood is the easily-worked, all-purpose building material. Lumber dealers with experience in servicing the home owner can save him considerable expense and time if given a chance to advise the proper species and grades for a given job. This is a service that is available to all.
Likewise, the architect and builder who design in wood, or in combinations of wood and other materials, would do well to obtain from the technical department of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. 1319 18th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., a listing of booklets and other information on the use of wood.

European conferees at that meeting made it entirely clear that they expected Uncle Sam to "pick up the check" for European rearmament. Their attitude seemed to be-if the United States is so anxious that we remain free, let them pay the bill, and also furnish plenty of soldiers. That's the fix in which we find ourselves in the world today, or, as Jimmy Durante says-"those are the conditions that prevail'"
You can no more convince our Washington spenders and economic illiterates that there is any limit to our financial resources or any bottom to our economic barrel than you can convince a Digger Indian that the sun doesn't revolve around the earth. Their financial and economic convictions are purely a matter of blind and foolish faith, beyond the reach of reason, and in no wise conforming to the laws of logic. How to continue our present headlong flight down the broad highway to destructive inflation and yet avoid a catastrophe, is our problem of problems. The spenders look upon that danger and see it not. x<**
And, speaking of inflation-what IS inflation? Read the papers, listen to the radio, and check the opinions expressed by enthusiastic students of finance as printed in the Vox Pop portions of the public press, and you get many a picture of infation; all of them di,fferent, and- all of them erroneous. It is like the story of the several blind men inspecting the elephant by means of their sense of touch, and each getting a vastly different impression of what the elephant looks like. Naturally, the man who feels the elephant's tail gets a much different picture from that of the man who touches the vast body, etc.

Most men cling to the idea that rising prices are infla-

tion. The fact is that rising prices are merely the evidence that there IS inflation. Just as a rising temperature shown by the thermometer means there is an infection in the human body, so do rising prices mean that the infection of inflation exists in the economic body. The high prices are not the inflation; they simply show that the inflation exists. Inflation, according to the best authorities available, is strictly a financial thing-a "monetary phenomenon." Its basis is an extraordinary increase in the supply of money. The money supply may be increased in a variety of ways, but we have inflation only when we have a greatly increased supply of money units. So, since the basis of inflation is an inflated money supply, the tendency of prices to rise is only a symptom of inflation.
So it would seem that the way to stop inflation is not to impose controls on rising prices, which are only the evidences of inflation, but to attack the basis of inflation. The Wall Street Journal says: "In our opinion, the thing to do about inflation is not to have it. . . All that is necessary is a conscientious national effort by the Administration to stop financing Treasury deficits by pumping Government securities into the banking system If the Government will stop inflating the money supply, there will simply no longer be a problem of controlling the nrnaway prices." And there you have it in*a nutshell.
Common sense proclaims to thinking men that Government cannot enrich us; that ii is our dependent, not our patron; that it can only advance the fortunes of one at thb expense of all. But it might well destroy us all if it fails to act intelligently to prevent unrestrained infation. Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson says that inflation is an enemy "possibly even more dangerous than Russia." Right, Mr. Wilson ! But to beat it, we must first understand what it is.

You would see power driven chain saws helping to harvest the mature treespowerfirl "cats" hauling logs to the roadsswift modern cranes loading them-rail cars and great diesel powered truck-trailers delivering them to the mills.
Mechanical progress has made every mzrnhour vastly more productive in the harvesting of timber. It has opened up new timber resources, by reaching terrain formerly called "impossible" for logging-and thereby saving many mature trees for useful service. Also, mechanized handling reduces log damage and delivers the logs to the mills in condition to produce maximum lumber footage.
Correct loggrng is but one of the important factors which directly affects the quality and quantity of the lumber yield. The trademark "Weyerhaeuser 4-Square" on lumber also means the coordination of modern timber har-
vesting, modern reforestation, and modern manufacturing methods. The result is the best in good lumber, which delivers the utmost in sound, economical construction.

One of the most evident items of increasecl operating costs is taxes. Somc bnsiness men consider Federal Income Taxes
the most important taxes, but to me the most important taxes are City and Countl' Property Taxes, IJnernployment Taxes and Social Security Taxes. Whether you do any good or not you have these taxes to pay. First as to City and County taxes. These taxes have been increasing steadily ol'er the past ten years and prior to that; pressure groups Everett C, Pqrker for some years have been forcing Congress and the Federal spending agencies to give the people "something for nothing" and City and County bodibs are more and more being influenced by pressure groups into one extravagant service after another. In fact, it is not too much to say that practically everyone wants the Citv and Countv to give some service or additional frill that the particular persoll is very much interested in, but condemns the granting of a service he is not interested in. City and County politicians who rvant to be re-elected grant one frill after another and your tax bill increases year after year. Your tax rate may go down but over a period your tax bill will go up due to increased assessment. For instance, our company owns a yard in San Diego. From 1940 to 1950 the tax rate
has gone up only 22/o but the assessment has gone up 84%% and the amount we paid for taxes rvent up 125%" On property we ol\rn in Los Angeles City, frorn 1940 to 1950 the tax rate has gone up lS/a but the assessment, or1 virr,'-ing properties, from 25/o to 150/o. This increased tax follorvs through on your stock of goods. On March 1, 1940 a tlrousar-rd feet of 2x4 #l Common cost laid don'n in Los Angeles Harbor $23.00, and rvas assessed at 45/c of $23.00 or $10.35, and this at $5.5155 per $100.000 amounted to 574 per tl.rousand feet. On March 1, 1951 a thousand feet of 2xl #l Common cost laid dorvn in Los Angeles Harbor $92.00 and assessed at 45o/a of $92.00 or $,11.40 times $5.9966 per $100.00 amounts to $2.48 per M. This item u-i1l be a continuing item of increased cost so long as people demand increased services of one form or another. \\rhen you were a kid you l'alked to school or got there the best s'ay you coulcl, but not now; you r.r'ait for the bus to come and get vou, and bring you back. l-umbermcn can help ther.nselves to some extent by supporting sollle of the propertv o\\rners associations l'ho are cloing a goocl jol>. The next most important lzix to my mind is the Federal ancl State Unerl-rployment Tax. This tax has been l'ith us since 193fi and at varying rates of 0 to 3/" on the first $3000.00 of each employee's earnings. The Federal Government receir.es 3/10 <fi l/o each year and the State taxes you in accordance rvith the condition of the State's overall reserve and also in accordance rvith vour own reserve. In our own company u'e paid the State nothing in 1948, l/10 ot l/o in 7949, and then due to the liberality with which money was doled out in unemploymeni cases practically all firms in 1950 were put at a 2-5/lO% rate, and in 1951 our company's rate is 2.7% At 2.7% for every ten people on your payroll you

Bob Taube, salesman for Larvrence-Philips Lumber Co., Beverly Hills, who r,vas laid up for four-and-a-half months due to an ac,cident, reported back to work on October 1.
Bob was spending a week-end last May at the Mataguay Ranch near Warner's Hot Springs and while on a hiking trip with a group of friends fell off a cliff, receiving internal injuries. lIe rvas in the hospital seven weeks ancl underwent trvo operations.
The above picture shows Bob seated at his desk in the company's nerv offices in Beverly Hills. After spending a week in the office, he is now back on his old tqrritory calling on the retail lumber dealers.
Bob's many friends are glad to see him back on the job again.

pay the State $810.00 and 3/10 of l/o or $90.00 to the Federal Government, or $900.00 per year for each ten people. You are all acquainted with the abuses of the unemployment tax administration. You knorv horn' easy it is for a person to quit you and collect unemployment insurance for a period of twenty-six weeks, chargeable to your reserve, and never find a convenient or suitable place to work. The Social Security Taxes are at the rate of lft/o on the first $3500.00 the employee earns, and since the average yard employee earns $3692.00 you would pay the full amount on practically all of your ernployees. Using lfu/o on only $3500.00 this tax costs you $525.00 per year for each ten employees.
Then there are the relatively smaller taxes such as City license fees, increasing continuously as the years go on. Auto license fees and tax have doubled since 1940. Then there are the nuisance taxes and the collection of same such as the transportation tax and the sales tax. Did a sales tax or transportation tax auditor ever come to your place of business and not find additional tax for you to pay out of your pocket?
Then there are the withholding provisions of the Revenue Acr and the withholding of the State Disability Benefits. You are all familiar with the additional costs the collecting, transmitting and reporting of these withholding taxes make.
The rates on the State Franchise Tax have been increasing. Thc budget of the State of California is now the highest it has ever been, b:ought on partly by liberality in old age security. The average payment of aid for the month of July 1950 r''i'as $70.69 and the averag'e of all other states rvas $40.(,6. In October 1950 a proposed legislative initiative qualified for submission to the State legislature rvhich colvened January 1951. The legislature refused to pass it and therefore it must be submitted to the people at the next general election. This would add $110,000,000 to old age security cost or an increase of B5/o in that item.
Then there is the Federal fncome Tax. You are all quite familiar rvith this. It is uppermost in the minds of the people. Expenditures by the Federal Government are and
have been tremendous. Whether they have been justifiable I will leave it up to each one of you to decide, but the realistic fact is, that we have got to pay for them. The corporation income tax rate in l94O on incomes over $38,500.00 was 24/o and it is pretty well settled that the rate from January 1, 1951 is to be 52/o on incomes over $25,000.00. lf any lumber dealer in 1951 is fortunate enough to have a better showing than the best three years out of 19461947-1948 and 7949 he will also pay an excess profits tax in addition. The excess profits tax in my opinion is wrong; it is manifestly unfair to many firms. It is intended to retake profits from those profiting excessively on account of war preparation, but the renegotiation act which is in effect rvould r€capture any such excess. High Federal Income Taxes will be with us for some years to come. An accounting oddity is that Federal fncome Taxes are not considered as operating expenses; you are only setting rside that which belongs to the government at the time it is earned. Inheritance and estate taxes are not operating expenses and need not be discussed, but when the controlling stockholder of a company passes away and his estate is largely represented by the pavement, buildings, land and inventory the company owns it can put the company in a most embarrassing position. The case of Henry Ford is a good example. The death of two prominent lum t'rermen in the northwest a few weeks ago may or may not be a case in point. The Revenue Act of 1950 recognizing this situation has however alleviated it to a certain extent.
Enough has been said to show that taxes, exclusive of income taxes, are the highest they have ever been. fn fact, exclusive of any income tax it is my opinion that taxes ainong lumber yards in Southern California in 1950 were about 7l/o more than in 1940. The most effective statement on taxes that I can make is this-that City, County, State and Federal Governments are still spending and will continue to spend extraordinary amounts and that California's share of the Federal, State and Local debt of which each of you has a part is estimated at $19,146,186,938.00, or 1.447 ttmes rlre assessed value ($13,227,731,114.00) of all the land, improvements and personal property in the state and will eventually have to be paid, and you will be asked to pay vour share. Some will pay more and some will pay less, l.ut the per capita sl,are of the public debt for each pers,>n in California is $1825.

And in conclusion. let me briefly point out some of the proofs that freedom is not free; some of the trends and danger signals that are so apparent and so challenging to all of us today; a few things, the diagnosis of u,hich is so plain but whose therapy and cure, if accomplished, will require hard work on the part of a great number of courageous, worthy men and women. \Vithout getting too dramatic but with great sincerity and certainty, I can tell you that our nation is marching straight dorvn a road that leads, without a doubt, arvay from the basic principles of Americanismar,vav from the simple democratic ideals of self g'overnment and the dignity and sanctity of the rights of private citizens u'hich our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution and later into the Bill of Rights.
the part of many citizens so appalling that we wonder if they hear or care as the cry from people in other parts of the earth reaches their ears; people stripped of their right to own property, create their individual enterprises, or enjoy the fruits of their toil.
Very soon you and I must reach a decision, must anslver these two questions that burn in the minds and hearts of thinking people:
Shall we return to the principles of productive liberty under the law which is the tradition and heritage of the American people ?
H. Pcrk ArnoldI hesitate to say this but I firmly believe r,vith Ken Smith, when he says "Our nation faces turmoil, conflict, and a planned program of confusion, may have passed the last cross road on which it might have turned arvay from a positive socialistic end-or worse."
We find, to our dismay and deep concern, men in highest places of public trust playing a slimy game of penny politics rvith gangsters and hoodlums.
\\re find 88 Federal corporations and countless bureaus existing and functioning without the slightest provision or authorization of the constitution from which government should derive its power to govern. These 88 corporations, manv of them in direct competition with private citizens and tvith private business and industry, cost our taxpayers during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, $19,100,000,000 in operating costs and losses-an amount nearly one-half of the total Federal budget for that same period.
We find at election time and afterwards an apathy .on
Or shall we, by default and silence, surrender to the gathering forces of tyranny which are loose in the .ivorld today ?
There can be no middle ground. We either appraise the situation and do something individually about the restoration and support of the American ideal against those at home and abroad u.ho would destroy it; or, by doing nothing, lose the sovereign rights which are the rich heritage of our nation.
The purpose of every one of us must be to strive to reliindle the basic ideals upon rvhich this nation u'as founded, and defined by Thomas Jefferson as being "A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, leaving them otherwise free to regulate their o'ir.n pursuits of industry and improvement."
It is our sacred duty to so live and so think and so r,r'ork that lve may be rvorthy; worthy of our friends ; r,vorthy of the ideals and objectives of good citizenship; rvorthy of free speech and the freedom of the press; u'orthy of the right to achieve our ambitions and capacities; worthy of parental love and the wholesome happiness of our families; r,vorthy of the right to worship God in any manner we choose; worthy of the stewardship of the better things of life given us so abundantly by a Divine Creator.
No, freedom is not free ! Some of us must work and pay the price if we regain and retain the freedom we believe to be the heritage of our generation.
Let us all take our citizenship more seriously.

In order to avoid interrupting operations, and since no other office space was available, the new building has been built all around and over the old office site. The nerv offices will be located on the second floor at the front of the new building, and the old structure will not be torn dorvn until they have moved into their new quarters.
At that time the old building in which the Bel-Air Door Co. r,vas founded will be demolished and the balance of the warehouse floor will be poured. Even now the back portion of the 11,000 square foot building is being used. for the storage of some doors, and ultimately the building will contain sufficient doors in all sizes to allotv them to fill almost any size order on short notice.
The above picture shotvs construction of the Bel-Air Door company's new *"r"hotr." and office building, in Alhambra, Calif., which is being erected over their present office structure.
Administrative operations of the firm have been con_ ducted from the small building in the center since the firm rvas founded. Ho.rvever, rapid expansion of the production
Tilt-up construction of preformed concrete slabs has been used in the 'construction of the building, r'r'hich r,r,ill have two extra-large loading docks at the front for loacling convenience. Speed, service, and complete shipments will be the keynote of the ner,v rvarehousing operation. Conveyor systems will bring completed doors from the plant, rvhich is located behind the warehouse structure.

C., told west coast panel makers today . providing curreni budg-ets are approved and that plyrvood purchasing planned for the last half of the year all is dor-re during the last three months of 1951.
This was announced here by O. Harry Schrader, Jr., managing director of Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association, after receiving a National Production Authority forecast oI plyrvood wants. Three developments at the nation,s capital have compounded the demands for plyr,vood rvhich r.r'ill l;e exerted by the militarv and by defense-supporting industries :
l. I)efense needs for plywood are piline up because military buying agencies temporarily are out of money as (.ongress has delayed passage of the new appropriations bill. As a result, buying for defense u'ill be heavy during the last three months of the year.
2. 'Ihe Secretary of Defense has issued a directive to military speciff ing agencies that u'ood and plywood be included as an alternate for steel to conser\re metal.
3. Another defense directive requires the r-nilitary to make elficient use of available plyn.ood by tailoring specifications closcly to end-use requirements. Specifically, this ruling directs that greatest possible use be made of both indoor and outdoor (rvaterproof) plyrvoc.,d and the variorrs cornmercial grades and thicknesses n,ithin the trr.o types. It is arr cffort to rrore fully use the itlyltood face-grades that are in best supply by speciff ing the lo.n.est possible apl)earance grade that can be usecl in an1, application.
These developments mean, Schrader points out, that rlurirrg the closing months of this 1-ear, defer.rse needs for plyu'oorl apltarentlv u.ill exceed considerably the 30 per ccnt r:rtio that already is bcirrg set aside under an earlier. Nl'A ruling.
I [e spoke for tl.re 68-factory Dciuglas fir plyu,ood indus1r1' of Washington, Oregon and California .n.hich produces tt'o thircls of the nation's *,ood ltanel material. They are turlring out par-rels at the record rate of al>out 2.7 billion fcet zr year. Plvrvood is used by the Army, Navy and Air Cor'1ts for barracks, boats, packaging, concrete forms, parachute drops and hundreds of other applications.

Portland, Sept. 29-The following report of third quarter, 1951, production andrshipments of Western Pine region lumber products and estimate of prbbable fourth quarter shipments rvere released today by W. E. Griffee, assistant se,cretary-manager of the Western Pine association, Portland. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine. Sugar Pine and Associated Woods, The statement in fu11:
"The third quarter saw both the production and the shipment of lumber by mills in the Western Pine region belo'vv the booming levels of the third quarter of 1950. However, the decrease was not nearly as great as the slumi) in housing construction.
"Preliminary estimate of production during the third cluarter is 2,176 million board feet, a reduction of 12.3 percent from last year. Total production of 5,879 million feet for the first nine months of the year is still 1.6 percent ahead of 1950.
"shipments of 1,964 million feet were 16.0 percent belorv last year and also about 100 million feet belorv the second quarter of this year. The third quarter figure is not {ar belorv the 2,000 million feet estimated at the beginning of the quarter. Year-to-date shipments of 5,567 million feet \\'ere off 6.2 percent from a year ago.
O It pays to carry adequate stocks ofFir-Tex sheathing at all times. This fine product is much in demand because it not only builds better, faster and cheaper but it gives the home owner a structure that is properly insulated, resulting in important fuel savings every year. A home built with Fir-Tex Sheathing is a credit to the builder and to the lumber supply dealer who sold it.

"Housing starts for July and August rvere off roughly 40 percent from last year. Recently enacted legislation which loosens credit restrictions on homes costing under $12,000, and provides for federal housing in defense areas, should kecp the rate of housing starts from falling much lorver. \\rhether it u'il1 cause the volume of home construction to increase before the end of the year is questionable, particularly in vierv of metal shortages and NPA restrictions ttpor-r their rrse in housing.
"The actual building of homes lags a montl.r or t'ivo behind the rate at which they are started. In August, for ex:rmple, rvork done on housing rvas off only 30 percent from last year. u'hile starts were off 4O percenf. Therefore, it is evident that the full effects of reduced housing volume h:rve not been felt by retail yards until just recently' "Factors favorable to heavy shipments include the adjustments made in retail stocks this summer, the mounting clemand for boxing of war munitions and equipment, and the ready availability of rl,ell assorted mill stocks {rom rn.hich orders can be filled.
"Based on such factors and all other available information, it no\v seems probable that during the fourth quarter of l95i shipments (consumption) of lumber f rom the \\restern Pine region n'iil approximate 1,550 million feet. This figure is slightly above the last quarter of 1948 btrt about 20 percent under the fourth quarters of 1949 and 1950."

According to the Christian Science Monitor, a number of young women had joined forces to operate a small store, and one of them was asked by an inquisitive friend what her position vras in the firm. She replied that she was assistant treasurer.
"Fleavens!" said the friend, "is the business so large that it takes two people to handle the money?"
"Oh, no," was the laughing reply; "It is so small that it takes two people to FIND the money."
Study the murder records of the world and you easily discover that the murder rate is high where punishment is doubtful, and light where punishment is swift and certain. Killers are scarce in those parts of the world where killers are locked up and quickly brought to justice; where the killer and not the deceased is tried in court, arld where lightly made excuses have no weight in the destruction of human lives. In such places Justice rules homicide trials, and when the trial is over, Justice smiles.
War, I do abhor; and yet how sweet
The sound along the marching street
Of drum or fife, and I forget Broken old mothers, and the whole Dark butghering without a soul.
Without a soul-save this bright treat
Of heady music, sweet as hell; And even my peace-abiding feet
Go marching with the marching street, For yonder goes the fife, And what care f for human life?
The tears fill my astonished eyes, And my full heart is like to break, And yet it is embannered lies, A dream those drummers make.
Oh, it is wickedness to clothe
Yon hideous, grinning thing that stalks
Hidden in music like a queen
That in a garden of glory walks, Till good men love the thing they loathe; Art, thou hast many infamies, But not an infamy like this.
O, snap the fife and still the drum, And show the monster as she is.
There is an ancient legend which tells us that when a man first achieved a most notable deed he wished to explain to his tribe what he had done.
As soon as he began to speak, howeve:', he was smitten with dumbness, he lackedr words, and sat down. Then there arose-according to the story-a masterless man, one who had taken no part in the action of his fellow, who had no special virtues, but afflicted-that is the phrase-with the magic of the necessary words.
He saw, he told, he described the merits of the'notable deed in such a fashion, we are assured, that the words "became alive and walked up and down in the hearts of all his hearers." Thereupon the tribe, seeing that the words were certainly alive, and fearing lest the man with the words would hand down untrue tales about them to their children, they took and killed him.
But later they saw that the magic was in the words, not in the man.

"I know, dear child," said Grandma, quietly; "I saw him pass the window."

A customer in a Boston animal store was contemplating the purchase of a parrot, which, however, gave no signs of ability to talk. He just looked at her and glared, and said nothing.
"Doesn't he talk?" asked the prospective purchaser.
"Yes, he does," replied the salesman, "but he doesn't want to be quoted."
I am quite sure he thinks that I am God, Since He is God on whom each one depends, For life and all things that His bounty sends, Mv dear ord dog' TilffH'H,:"J.Tiff:t"

On September 22, the nerv California Mechanics Lien Larv went into effect. On the follorving \\rednesday, September 26, Mr. Leo Hubbard, secretary of the Hayward Lumber & Investment Company, of Los Angeles, appeared before the semi-annual conference of the Southern Cali{ornia Retail Lumber Association, and spent more than two hours explaining in detail the r,vorkings of the new Lien 131ar, and also explaining in great detail the entire subject of lien larv use for the California retail lumber trade. He replied to innumerable questions, and showed amazing familiarity with every phase of the lien law situation. His program won high praise from those who heard him.
To begin t'ith he stated that the following are the advantages a lien la11' gives the lumber dealer:
A lien is the t nlv instrument provided bv law that will protect your account rvithout the signature of the owner. It gives a certain amount of security (depending on prior encumbrances) to the dealer for materials purchased by contractor, sub-contractor, olner, person purchasing on contract of sale, and lessee.
A lien is the only instrurnent, if recorded rvithin the proper time after a job is completed, rvhich takes effect from tl-re time of the beginning of the job. It is retroactive to the beginning of the job.
A lien filed properly rvill be a prior encumbrance to any mortgage or trust deed recorded after the job has started unless the materialman knen' of some unrecorded encumbrance.
A11 liens are equal.
Most property is in joint tenar-rcy lvith husband ancl rvife. If the husband l.ras purchased materials from you, a lien protects a dealer against the property going free and clear to the u'ife in joint tenancy in case of death of husband.
A lien protects a dealer if a homestead is filed b1, the owner regardless of rvhen the homestead is or was filecl.
A lien protects a dealer against bankruptcy of either the contractoi or otvner_
A lien is gooci security against the building even if the dealer is not aware of the actual orvnership.
A lien is the only protection against a contractor rvho has received all of his rnoney and who has failed to pay the dealer.
On a bonded job for a private party (not public) a lien is the best security in case the surety is no good at the time judgment is given. On a bonded private job a lien or proper notice to bonding company is essential.
A lien on the building is the only security that a dealer has in case a notice of non-responsibility is properly filed on the property.
A lien is the only actual protection outside of a written guarantee from the lending institution that the last payment after Notice of Completion time has expired tvill be paid to the lien claimants.
A lien is the only security that the dealer has on the money in the building fund that is left in the lending institution's hands after the lien period has expired if any other liens are filed. An order on the loan will be paid only out of funds left after lien clairns have been paid unless guaranteed by lending institution.
A lien is the only protection that a dealer has if someone attaches the building fund.
One big advantage is that it n,ill let the contractor or owl-ler do most of the u'orrying and r,r'ill save the dealcr a good many gray hairs.
IIar.ing stated these general advantages that a lien properly executed gives the lumber dcaler, Mr. Hubltard thcn took up and discussed in turn the following subjects: delivery procedure, loading tickets, sales tickets; bonds on Iiedcr:rl jobs, and also on private and public jobs; what is lienable under the law; what has prioritv; notice of completion; description of property covered by lien; foreclosure or extension; lien time for materialmen; keeping track of lien dates; exercise of care in selling building materials.

Under date of October first, 1951, the follorving announcement was officially made out of San Francisco:
"Mr. E. B. Birmingham, President of Hammond Lumber Company announces the retirement of Mr. H. W. Mcleod as Manager of the Southern California Division of the Company, after almost 50 years of service. Mr. Mcl-eod, rvho has ably managed the Division for many years, r'rriil continue with the Company as Vice President, Director, and member of the Executive Committee, and will act as advisor to the local management. Mr. Paul l{allingby, long Assistant Manager, has been appointed to succeed NIr. McLeod as Manager of the Division. Mr. P. J. Stillwell has been appointed Assistant Manager."
There recently appeared in the columns of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT a recital of the business history of Harry Mcleod who is now retiring, which therefore needs no repetition here. He joined the Hammond ranks in 1903, so he has served 48 years at the time of retirement.
Mr. P. J. Stilllell, who becomes assistant manager of the Southern California Division of llammond Lumber Companv, has been'with the Company 25 years, the entire time in the credit department. An attorney who specializes in credit matters, he was with tl-re Thompson Yards, a retail lumber concern, in Minneapolis, before moving to Southern California. He went to work immediately in Hammond's credit department, and a few years later was made manager of that department, which position he has held up to now. He is a prominent worker rvith the credit
agencies of Los Angeles and Southern California, and has served as president of Building Material Dealers Credit Association.
His promotion, according to Paul Hallingby, is a well deserved one, the result of long, faithful, and highly intelligent activities with the Company.
Lumbermen, and their name is legion, will rejoice at the promotion given Paul Hallingby. He started rvith Hammond in 1905, and has tl.rerefore worked for and with Harrv Mcleod for a total of 46 years, and no manager ever had a grander lieutenant. While it has fallen to his lot to be front man for the Division almost from the time he starte<l, and he has given wonderful service and leadership to thc retail lumber industry of the territory, yet he has always been by nature a modest and self-effacing gentleman. IJe is a natural born cooperator, and enjoys working with his fellow business men for the good of all concerned, u'ithout ever a show of personal egotism.
He is a swell guy, this Paul Hallingby, soft of voice, kindly in all things, and one who loves his fellow man. That is why he ranks in the very forefront of those men rvho are honored, respected, and loved by the followers of the lumber industry. If friends are wealth, then Paul is a multi-mi11ionaire. Nobody, who congratulates him on his promotion, need cross his fingers. And, topping his personal 'w'orth, he is a po'll,'erful business man and lumber'man, as is proved by his 46 years on a big job.
Ife has held lots of lumber industry jobs. Long ago he rvas president of the statervide retail lumber association, still later he u'as president of the Lumber & Allied Products Institute of Southern California, and he has been president of the Building Material Dealers Credit Association. In r,var time he was on the retail lumber OPA Committee, and a member of the Executive Committee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. Whenever and u'hereerrer there was work to be done for the lumber industry, Iraul Hallingby has been on the job. The industry needs more of his kind.
Nlr. and Mrs. Robert J. Creelman are the proud parents of a baby boy, James Dean Creelman, born at the St. Francis Hospitai, I-ynwood, on September 24. Bob is with the Ashmore Lumber Co., Huntington Park.

It is with the deepest regret that the Earl Hofiman Company announces the death of captain $Tilliam A. Magee on october 2, tgfl, ar san Jose, california.
Willits Redwood Products Co., Willits, Calif., lost four million feet of logs and 250,000 feet of lumber in a fire on August 31. The loss r,vas estimated at g175,000, all co.yered by insurance.
The management has announced that in spite of this loss the mill has plenty of logs to keep their operation going through the year.
Reports from both manufacturers and dealers in furniture who attended the recent furniture show in Boston, indicated that the nine months old slump in furniture sales seem to be over, and fall buying is greatly on the increase. There was a very healthy atmosphere at the furniture show, prices held firm, and while sales were not large, they were steady and general.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed cornpletely the Larson Ladder Company's plant near San Jose, Calif., September 7, causing damage estimated at 9500,000. Fifteen workers on the night shift escaped from the building just a few minutes before the walls toppled in. The night workers discovered the fire burning in an air compressor shortly after reporting for duty. The walls crashed inward 20 minutes later.
Victoria, British Columbia, will be the host city to the annual convention of the Pacific Logging Congress, which takes place in the famous Empress Hotel on November 5,6 and 7. All business sessions will take place in the hotel. Elaborate preparations are being made for the entertainment of the visitors.
Fred B. Brown, of Vanwest Logging Company; Norrran English, O'Brien Logging Company, and R. J. Filberg, Cornox I-ogging & Railway Company, make up the committed on arrangements.
The Bankers Mortgage Association of America, holding its annual convention in San Francisco during the middle of September, was of the general opinion that there will be a further drop in home building in 1952, because of a continuing shortage of mortgage money. Since these are the men who supply so much building money, they speak with considerable authority, although many of them admitted that they might miss their guess to some extent.
They said that the scarcity in house credit stems largely from the Government's withdrawal of support last spring from the prices of some Government bonds. Mortgages insured by the VA and FHA have suffered most because their interest is fixed at 4/o and, 4l/o, respectively, againsf rates of afi/o to 5/o on "conventional" home loans.

oRDERs ,'fHE BEST OF LUMBER"
(The following delightful little editorial appeared- recentlv -in "The Ventura Siar Free Press." It was vt'ritten by Joe Paul, Jr., County Editor of that paper. It is one of the most delightful boosts for thi local building maierial men that has ever come to the desk of "THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT," and deserves thoughtful reading.)
This is a column of commendation and praise for a group of men whose talents have long gone unheralded.
These are the men who man the counters of the lumber yards and hardware stores. To these men, f owe all of uly success as a backyard carpenter and kitchen handyman.
It is the understanding sympathy of these men when I come in to order something that has made it possible for me to shine in the eye of my wedded mate when it comes to being a tinkerer and fixer of household gadgets. It was with their guidance that I was able to lay the bricks for a garden terra,ce, to constru,ct a wishing well and paint the window screens.
It was their know-how being used second handedly that was responsible for the door stops, planing ofi the front door and building a fence around the front yard.
Thev directed, remotely, the installation of shutters, the building of a barbecue table and erection of clothesline poles.
I don't want to take all the credit for their achievements.
Without their advice, instruction and warnings, nothing could have been accomplished.
Not once did they snicker when I came to them with a cluestion and a puzzled look. All of my problems they took seriously and gave aid.
When I explained to the hardware clerk that I wanted some of those crooked little metal things that you drive in with a hammer to hold two pieces of wood side by side, he thought for a moment and went to the shelf and handed me a pa,ckage of the fasteners.
When I explained to the plumber that I wanted one of those things that goes on the bottom of that long shaft and fits in the hold where the water runs out, he knew just what I wanted.
The clerk at the lumber yard wasn't baffled for a minute when I said I wanted a paint brush that wouldn't lap over and paint the screen while I painted the frames' He gave me one with an angled bristle and, by gosh, it worked like a charm.
When I order nails about this long (indicated by holdir-rg up a thumb and forefinger) and enough to put together a projgct which is hastily described, he gets me the right size and the right amount.
At the mill, the lumbermen are equallv clever. Oh, it's rrot only that they can operate all that big machinerv; it's that they understand what it is I want.
I need so many boards, this thick, and about this long ancl so many this wide, I tell him. After he gets the project clear in his mind, he explains to me some of the things that might rvork better and suggests how he would do it
and then produces the material. The amazing thing is that the projects usually come out even, only a minimum of pieces left over.
This garden terrace I was telling you about' My helpers get the ,credit for the right mix in the mortar' It will holcl long after the garden is petrified. But the irregularity of the structure, the easy, rolling curves of what was supposed to be a straight line, can be credited to my skill as a brick layer.
This undulating feature makes the terrace wall different, I always say.
When the garden hose broke and I asked my hardwa:e man for one of those things that looks like a metal spider and holds two pieces of hose together, he came up with it immediately. When I told him the hole in the hose was about the size of my pointing finger, he even selected the proper size.
After he showed me how to put the hose back together, I was able to manufacture one of the longest garden hoses in Ventura county from odd pieces that had been accumulating around the place.
I didn't listen, apparently, when the fellow told me how to hang a screen door because there is more space at the bottom than at the top. As a matter of fact, I had to rasp off the top after sawing off the bottom. Like the absent minded carpenter once said, "I sawed it off twice and it's still too short." But it works.
All in all, when I dig into a project with my full battery of advisers, I'm a demon of a household construction man. And I want them to share in the glory of these monumental achievements.
All that f am around the house. I owe to a host of well infolmed clerks.

Houston, Texas-A soldier who served on the stafi of General MacArthur from the time of the surrender of Japair to the "diSmissal" recited to the members of the Houston Retail Lumber Dealers Association some of the intimate details of the treachery which turned China over to Russia and communism, and brought about the Korean war.
The man was Major J. Griffin Chapman of Houston. The crowd which filled to o'i'erflowing the Oriental room at \Areldon's on South Main Street, listened with intense interest as Major Chapman revealed specific data from the records detailing the step-by-step program conducted under the orders of the State Department to build up communist power in the Far East and to get rid of General MacArthur.
I\'Iajor Chapman called it "Secretary Acheson's u'ar in Korea." He expressed the view that since Acheson told the communists we would be satisfied'with a settlement on the basis of the 38th parallel, we will either accept that or we must continue the war. But the entire truce program of the communists in Korea is a trap in which we are caught.
But before being assigned to Japan as political and social' advisor to General MacArthur, Major Chapman had entered 'ihe service as a chaplain and served in the European campaign with General George Patton. He was there during the Battle of the Bulge, and he was there when Patton's army reached the Czech border. "We sat there on the Czech border for trvo lveeks and waited, so that the Russians could come in and take over. The decision to turn our victory, which cost thousands of American lives, over to the Russians was not made by the generals, it was made bv President Roosevelt," said the speaker.
Major Chapman declared that the Chiefs of Staff sent a message to President Roosevelt at Yalta pleading with him not to make a deal with Russia as payment for the iatter's promise to aid us against its then ally, Japan. They advised Roosevelt that Russian participation on our side was not needed, that Japan was ready to give up. In fact it r,vas then just a few days before the surrender. The message went to Harry Hopkins who read it and stuck it in his pocket, and Roosevelt never saw it.
The speaker paid especial tribute to the executive genius
of General MacArthur in reconstructing the entire Japanese political philosophy and building Japan into a democratic nation within the short period of five years. "I v'as asked how long I thought it would take to make Japan a democratic country, and I said it would take two generations," he said. "If someone had told me that the job could be done in five years, I would have thought he was insane. lSut General MacArthur did it-and now Japan is our only ally."
The firing of General MacArthur did not come suddenly. It had been brewing for five years, engineered by the State Department, in which there were communists and fellow travelers and others who could be depended upon to follow the communist line. He referred to the Congressional investigation during which it was stated that General MacArthur had failed to report developments to Washington. He declared that n{acArthur sent reports to Washington every day. Finally, he pointed out that Korea is not the real objective of Rrrssia. The real objective is Japan
And concluding, he said he is telling his storv because "it is high time somebody in this country spoke out and spoke plainly."
(From a bulletin of H. R. Northup, Executive Vice President of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association)
Last week we referred to the new type of confusion in Washington. Then we sat down and took a look at the National's bulletins to the industry over the past several months reporting rules and regulations coming from OPS, NPA, CMP, Wage Stabilization and so on, and we thought to ourselves maybe some of this new type confusion and old t54pe confusion exists in the industry in respect to these rules and regulations.
Telephone conversations with leaders in the industry verified this confusion, but also encourage us to believe that while the industry is trying to understand the rules and regulations, trying to live up to them, at least in their major aspects, they are not concerning themselves and don't have time to concern themselves with the detail. If Washingtop can't make it clear how can the individual citizen understand them?

When R. A. "Dick" Colgan quit a big and high-salaried job a few months back as executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. and announced that he was going to California to run a tree farm, much interest was naturally aroused as to what kind and size of a tree farm it could be ?
Well, it is SOME tree farm ! It seems that when the stockholders of the Red River Lumber Company sold their very large sawmill plant at Westwood, California, they organized in 1947 the Shasta Forests Company, with headqttarters at Redding, California, to own and operate as a tree growing property more than 600,000 acres of timber land in that vicinity. These timber lands are held as various partnerships by the Red River stockholders. Shasta Forests, as "Dick" Colgan explains it, "has the responsibility of protecting and managing for sustained production these timber lands which, at the present time, amount to over 6OC.000 acres."
\{r. Colgan further explains: "A large part of the timber is at the present time under various sales contracts. The timber on other portions is being liquidated in an orderly manner; mostly to the mills and plywood plants in or adjacent to the ownership. The management of the forest land is based on sound economics. An excellent opportunity to prove what private enterprise can do in protecting and managing forests; and I feel quite sure that we rvill give a good account of ourselves."
So Mr. Colgan is managing one of the world's mightiest tree farms, u'hose business it $'ill be to produce a sustained )'ield of timber from norv on. The acreage is all in pine territory, and the production o{ the land is chiefly Ponderosa. Grorving big trees on so vast an acreage is the big job that induced Mr. Colgan to leave the National.
