Here is one for every good scrapbook. It is titled "REVEILLE IN HEAVEN," was written by Corporal Dana Schnittkind who was with Patton's Third Army in Europe, and is published in the October "COSMOPOLITAN magazine. This is the first and last stanza: ***

All the heroes of the nation will be gathered for the sight, When the Author of Creation sunders daylight from the night.

When the final bugle summons, they will gather from afar, He will read out their promotions, pin on each a morning star.

And the whirling of the planets will be music of the band, When the Universe-Commander takes the great reviewing stand.

Rank on rank of marching thousands, tramping over heaven's sod,

Captains, privates, sergeants, colonels, all pass equal before God.

They wear ribbons from the sunset, they wear medals from the suns, through their whiskers at good old Uncle Sam-ty Claus.

And the thunder and the lightning flash salute heaven's guns.

The recent sad failure of the London conference was due exactly one hundred per cent to the fact that we had absolutely and utterly neglected as a government to lay down hard and fast rules as a basis for the advance of the LendLease billions, without which Hitler would today be Dictator of Europe, Asia, and Africa. I think Byrnes would be a good trader had he not gone to London hamstringed by past errors that were loa*ot *his making

You have heard and read of the uncanny predictions of a guy named Nostradamus, and no doubt marveled at many of them. But Nostradamus was a rank amateur compared with the late Billy Mitchell of the air corps. In 1935 he wrote these words. Read them and wonder: "Reconnaissance from the air is the only means of warning Hawaii of the sneaking approach of the enemy, the fighting plane and the bomber furnish the only hope for the defense of Pearl Harbor. If our warships there were to be found bottled up in a surprise attack from the air and our airplanes destroyed on the ground, nothing but a miracle would help us hold from our far Eastern possessions." *

They go marching, mSrching, marching, through the vistas of the sky,

They go marching en felsvsl-YANKEE SOLDIERS NEVER DIE!

Secretary of State Byrnes, and all the other official Americans recently returned from Europe, agree on one thing, namely, the Russians are people you just can't get along with. All the political trouble in the world today centers on the Russians and their apparent determination to Communize everything they touch, and leave Democracy entirely out of every place they control.

Of course it looks from the road to an innocent bystander that, while all thinking men agree now that we lost most of our bargaining power by giving it away in advance and demanding nothing in return, we still have one good, strong grip on the Ruskies. They are asking for the loan of billions of dollars right now. Why not start trading with the boys with the whiskers? It's late, of course. When we started Lend-Lease they needed our help so badly that we could have tied them up in any sort of contract. It has been said that the Russians were the most surprised people on earth at that time when they came to conferences ready and willing to agree to anything, and found nothing was asked of them. All they had to do was take. They did. And now they crack the old whip, and laugh in low tones

Yet, in spite of such professional warnings, in spite of the fact that we had broken the Jap code and knew all their messages, in spite of diplomatic developments that a small boy would have understood meant immediate and imminent danger-we were caught identically and exactly as Billy Mitchell predicted in 1935. Friends, don't let anyone sell you the soft idea that Pearl Harbor was something that might as well be glossed or passed over. Pearl Harbor was the greatest crime in American war history. The only way to keep it from happening again, is to uncover every reason why it happened OfT"._

General Jonathan Wainwright, in his published story of the horror of the Philippine surrender, says that General MacArthur knew nothing of the imminence of Jap attack. Nothing. Think that over in your mind, and see what it means. He talked to MacArthur frequently, and their only impression was that it would be April at the earliest before there was any danger from the Japs. Why didn't MacArthur know what was going on, the keg of dynamite he was sitting astride of? We should know those things. Much of the horrors of Bataan and what followed, might have been averted if MacArthur*had lrnown.

And, speaking of MacArthur, it looks from where I sit as though conditions here at home are rapidly bringing to the foreground the chance for one of our great military leaders to become President next election. That we need a mighty injection of iron into our government is every day more apparent; the kind of iron that Eisenhower or MacArthur could and would furnish. Suppose either of those two men were President today, do you suppose the high tide of industrial unrest that sweeps the country today, would be allowed to go unleashed? Would illegal force and riot hold sway as it has done so much of late in so many places? Hardly. What would these men do? Simple enough. They need only enforce the law and the Constitution. Give to every man his legal rights, uphold him in those rights, let no man deprive him of those rights. And, when any man tries to interfere by, force with the constitutional rights of another-stop him. That, as lve were told by a thin, tall, red-headed gentleman named Thomas Jefferson, is not only what this government is for-it is ALL this government is for.

When Jefferson was asked what powers the federal government had under the Constitution, he said that it should assess and collect taxes, and protect the citizen from harm to either his body or his possessions. And he said those were all the rights and powers the government had. Using that for a m.easuring stick today, it looks like the government had abdicated in all except*the tax rights.

As I look upon our Congress today, f am reminded of what Walt Whitman wrote during the Civil War concerning the War Congress of that day. He said: "Much gab, great fear of public opinion, plenty of low business talent, BUT NO MASTERFUL MAN." IIe certainly could be writing of our Congress today, couldn't he? Never in American history was there so great an opportunity for some man to immortalize himself as there is in Congress today. There, all heads seek practically a common level. There is utter lack of "tall men, full crowned, who stand above the rabble." Certainly opportunity knocks. A name that would go down in history is a prize that goes beggrng for a claimant. But in order to claim it, some man must forget elections, forget so-called pirblic opinion as reflected in the pressure groups, turn with his face to the light of justice and his back against the Constitution, forget himself in fact, and go to battle for*the*right. loins SchumccheE3alAtSGfiPhillip Carlson, sales manager, Schumacher Wall Board Corporation, Los Angeles, has announced that they have acquired the services of S. King Lanham and Robert J. Langford to augment their sales force.

There is no hope for this nation in "party men.,' Jefierson said if he could not go to heaven except with a party, he did not want to go there at all. Ernerson said of Lincoln that "he forgot himself into immortality." There is a wonderful chance for some man with brains, courage, and pure patriotism, to do that today.

Rejoins Red Cedar Shingle Bureau

Virgil G. Peterson has rejoined the Red Cedar Shingle Burean as its trade promotion manager, in keeping rvith the Bureau's transition to postwar operation, it is announced by W.W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager.

"Mr. Peterson's background in the field of public relations, and his extensive experience in red cedar shingle industry, make him ideally suited to assist the Bureau in carrying out its long established policy of cooperation vrith the retail lumber dealers of America." Woodbridge stated in making the announcement.

"The years of war, with their severe displacements of materials and manpower, have r'vorked hardships upon the manufacturer and retailer of building materials alike," he said. "Now that the war is over, the shingle industry is looking forr,vard to the establishment of' ever-closer ties with the retail lumbermen rvho in effect comprise its sales force."

Mr. Peterson grew up in the shingle industry rvorking as a "weaver" in the mills during his pre-college youth. Upon graduation from the University of Washington in 1939, he served for a time as a Bureau field representative in the Middle West, rn'here he will be remembered by many retail lumbermen. He then transferred to the Bureau's head offices in Seattle, lvhere he was active in the public relations department.

For the past three years Mr. Peterson has been in charge of the Boeing Aircraft Company's ner,vs department.

Three More Lumber lnspectors Retire

Portland, Oregon, October l-The retirement of Irving Dunn, A. E. Johnson and V. E. Johnston on October first from Western Pine Association's Bureau of Grades has been announced by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager.

These three lumber inspectors like Henry Jensen who retired from the staff in August were long-time employees. Although older than the eligible age for retirement under the Association's pension plan, the announcement explained, each had willingly continued his regular assignment because of the War.

"It is interesting to note," Mr. Fullaway said, "that all three started Association work on the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers Association lumber inspection staff."

"These men," he added, "have devoted a large part of their business experience to the grading and grade inspection of Western Pines, averaging per man 22 years in Association service and 41 years in the industry. With this enviable record, it is understandable why these men can retire with the feeling of a job well done."

V. E. Johnston will make his home at Ophir in Oregon's Curry County, A. E. Johnson at Ashland, Oregon and Irr'ing Dunn at Klamath Falls.
