Antoville said new capital expenditures by U. S. Plywood during the current fiscal year may aggregate $10,000,000. This would include timber acquisitions, manufacturing plants, and new distribution facilities.

"IJnited States Plywood," he said, "is still a growth enterprise. We are constantly adding to our raw material, manufacturing and distribution Iacilities. These are needed to take care of the steadily expanding market for plywood and the many additional products of diversified but allied nature we are producing or selling. The corporation also is substantially enlarging its budget for research and development."

Back in the 13th century an English friar named Bartholomew decided that somebody ought to explain a lot of things, such as a lot of vague matters and words found in the Bible. So he wrote a book devoted to that purpose. He called it "The Properties of Things." Finding "crocodile tears" mentioned in the Scriptures, he explained it in this interesting fashion: "ff a crocodile findeth a man by the water's brim, he slayeth him, and then weepeth over him, and swalloweth him." The good friar must have done a lot of research to dig up that one.
