Other new NOFMA booklets available include a revised edition of a 32-page Home Owner's Guide, which contains information on selection, installation, finishing and care of oak floors; Floors for Today's Homes, a l?-page brochure featuring the various styles of oak floors in beautiful full color illustrations; and Tips on Hardwood Flooring, a four-page folder dealing with storage, handling and installation of hardwood flooring.

Loyalty to the cause. We learn that Dick Reynan, in charge of Fir Milling & Plan- ing, Ashland, has been a Giants fan since 1931. He saw his first ball game in 1918 and cherishes the days of McGraw.
