You don't have to weigh 265 pounds to be a pro

And you don't have to be a "lumbering giant" in the forest products industry to do a fine, professional job!

But what makes a pro? It's the experience that comes only with actual play against fast competition. It's the ability to do the tough things right,time after time. It's coolness under fire superior performance under adverse conditions. x

Oregon-Pacific is a "pro" in the lumber marketing game. If you want professional performance in your lumber and plywood merchandising program, put Oregon-Pacific on your team!

"And have you music at the church ?" I asked the rural squire, "Well, no," said he, "can't say we have, Just singin' by the choir."

Just grin *n.. ,o,l.ol,'" i.t, And make it wide-not tight and thin, Say "Hello Bill" and "Howdy Jack," And slap the fellow on the back, Stick out your mitt, and crack a joke, If no one laughs there's no bones broke, And by and by you'll make our club, A sort of happy sunshine hub, That radiates good cheer ancl vim, Because you grin when you come in.

Speaking of merchandi.i"*, ,nO tell a story about a little old man running a little old store in a little old town in the deep South. One day he was dozing behind the counter when a small boy came in ancl in a shrill voice demanded a pound of butter. The storekeeper woke, stretched himself, and in an injured tone he asked : "Good gosh ! Ain't tl.rere nobody sells butter in this town 'cept me ?"

Robert Ingersoll wrote long ago: "If you catch one of your cl-rildren lying, don't grab a club and rush at him like an ogre. Be honest with him. Tell him the truth. Tell him you've told hundreds of them yourself. Tell l"rim that between truth and lying, truth is the best policy. Tell him you know-you've tried both."

Long ago the following appeared in this column, author unknown: "I have little sympathy for the reforrners who are concentrating their efforts on restraining people from cloing evil. My heart goes out to those workers who are trying to make this world a happy, joyous, clean place. All we need to do to overcome this so-called evil is to increase the an-rottnt of good. It is love that conquers hate; not hatred o{ l.rate. \\re gair-r nothing at all by hating evil. The hater is a prisoner of himself. Tl.re lover of goocl is the rnagician who is working in harmony with divine law."

If a man talks about himself, he's space for the purpose and brag about to his heart's content, and they won't He is just a "good advertiser."

a bore. But he can buy himself and his business even call him an egotist.

A good debtor is one whose earning equipment, whether it be property, muscle, or brains, indicates sufficient income to take care of the line of credit desired, and whose known inclinations warrant that in case of temporary failure, his honor will remain intact. ,< *

Some practical man l-ras been quoted as saying that his idea of genuine preparedness is to buy a stout pair of walking shoes with every used car he buys. A visitor to a used car lot said to the salesman who came to wait on l.rin.: "I'd like to see a good used car." And the salesman answered: "Oh, boy, so wouldl!" x x

George Bernard Shaw was once a guest speaker in a London church, and with splendid audacity he said: "I like to think of my God as a young man with llis career still before Him. I hate to think of God as an o1d man who strikes bargains with His creatures about the salvation of their souls, or a God wl-ro has to be begged or bribed." * *

A country newspaper once offered a prize for tl-re best definition of a Democrat and a Republican. The prize answer was: "A Democrat is a man who thinks a Republican administration is bad for business. A Republican is a min who thinks a Democratic adn-rinistration is bad for brrsiness. And both are right."

It was a brilliant church lt"Jo,"*, ancl a daughter of the very top layer of high society was walking down the aisle. She was a charming, delicate looking girl, blushing and smiling in a filmy weclding go\A,n, walking daintily along, seeming almost to float, so feminine and grace{ul she was, her gossamer veil floating like a halo about her lovely head. She was any man's best bet {or an angel. At the very altar she stubbed her toe against a pottecl li1y resting on the floor, and the astonished preacher rvaiting there, plainly heard her say: "Now isn't that a hell of a place for a lily ?"

Strable Lumber Company's Frank Timmers was elected "Most Horrible" at the Annual Election Meeting of Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club 39 at the Claremont Hotel, the evening of September 18. In the words of Bill Chatham, who each year breaks the boys up eulogizing about the good old days when he was president of Club 39, Bill noted "Boys, I really thought you scraDed the bottom of the barrel last yeai'ivhen you elected Johnson (Bill) Dresident of this club. But I was mistaken again. This year you have reached a nerv lorv."

Chatham's funning with the incoming and outgoing presidents (and any past president who rnight be unfortuirate enough to have come to the meeting) is always a high spot in Club 39's anrrrlal electlons. This year's "eulogy" was no different.

Also "unanimously" elected to offrce for the coming fiscal year (whether they liked it or not) were Jim Henrlriik, vice-president; Tom Jacobsen, Sr., secrettry-treasurer; and Jack I(oepf, sergeatlt-at-arms.

Club 39 clirectors t'ho will serve the club during the coming year include: Earle Bender, Vic Roth, Bob Beileck, Bruce Jacobsen and Ji* Doherty.
