Hardwood Plywoods, made of selected veneers, are once agzin becoming available in good supply. These popular panels, ideal in so many ways for interior decoration, are graduallv returning to normal trade channels.

Birch Plywood is popular and economical; takes a stain or paint inish equally well. It is a very atractive wall paneling when finished in natural color. Oak panels, both plain and quartered, are available in uniform color. These are also well suited for interior walls. Panels from American Black \U/alnut are widely used for furniture, home and ofrce interiors. They are beautiful, smooth-grained, easily worked.

B".ulrr" of their new beauty and ease of application, demand for these improved, fireproof roofing shingles has grown tremendously.

Backed by the Johns-Manville name, these shingles are easier for you to sell.

Overwhelming consumer accePtance is being constantly developed by one of the most effective advertising campaigns in the industry-the Johns-Manville Radio Pro' gram, "Bill Henry and the News."

Built to lqst 35 yeqrs PtUS

Thousands of J-M Asbestos Shingles have been in service 35 years and more. They're still as fireproof, rotproof, and weatherproof as the day they were applied' No signs they wontt last another 35 years or more! That's why we say American Colonial Asbestos Shingles last 35 yearc PLUS.

This being football season and the height thereof, let us devote this space to football talk. And let us turn the talking over to the man who talked football better than any other man the game has known-Knute Rockne. Football, as Rockne talked it, covered the general and specific business of living and thinking, for he was as fine a philosopher as he was a coach.

But first t.t ,rr. ,.U yl,," ,O*0", story, one I heard Jimmy Phelan, famous coach of St. Mary's, tell about the dumbest football player. This dumb guy would have been a triple-threat man if he had had any sense; but he lacked it. So he sat on the bench most of the time, while his teammates did the playing. One day he was on the sidelines as usual, when his team played Illinois. And that was in the day of Red Grange. And on this day Grange was having one of his very best days. As spectacular as a comet, he swept up and down that field, and none could stop him. IIe wore white while the others wore moleskins, and with his long flaming hair, he was something to see as he steamrollered that football game. The opposing coach in desperation decided to send in the dumb player. He told him-"If it's the last thing you ever do in your lifeeven ifit kills you-YOU STOP RED GRANGE! YOU HEAR ME? YOU STOP RED GRANGE!" The boy put on his headgear, warmed up for half a minute, and then came tearing up to the coach and said: "All right coach, I'm ready! Now show me-WHICH ONE IS RED GRANGE?"

Knute Rockne, the greatest coach of them all, had an abiding belief that football is more mental than physical, more psychology than muscle, and treated his squad accordingly. The first time he lined up a new squad in the fall, he started his first work on their minds, rather than their bodies. And the things he told those boys were things that men in all walks of life can well take home with them. For what applies to football, applies to business; applies to living wherever you find it.

The first thing he t"ff..l"0"* a. a new squad, was ambition, and where their ambitions should attempt to take them. He told them that most of the things read about ambition were pure bunk. There is NOT plenty of room at the top, as is so often remarked. In fact there is mighty LITTLE room at the top, only enough for those who have the ability, and daring, and imagination, and energy, and personality to stick there, and they are few. "So far as I have been able to observe" Rock would say to the boys in the first speech, "the greatest satisfaction I can get on

this earth is doing the particular job I am working on,ijust as well as it can possibly be done. There may be easier ways to get by, but they generally leave either a headache or a heartache the next day." Pretty good philosophy for all men as well as for football players, eh?

Then Rock would ,.il;"; "iort tr,, five kinds of boys he did not approve of, and did not want on his team. That gave them a fine opportunity to catalogue themselves and appraise their weaknesses from HIS viewpoint. First, he did not want boys with swell heads. That sort of boy makes an early success and is content to rest on his laurels, and wants to play on his reputation. Dry rot sets in and he ceases to play the sort of game he did at first. Then someone gets his suit and locker. Second, he did not want gripers, kickers, complainers. No organization can afford a chronic kicker, because that germ is infectious. And some day he comes to the training quarters and finds someone else wearing his suit.* * *

The third boy Rock did not like was the quitter. The quitter is the fellow who wants to play, wants to be a football hero, but is not willing to pay the high price demanded. Rock used to tell the first squad that that was the time for the quitter to quit, and not wait until he had worried the coaches and team for a while. Fourth, he would not stand for dissipation, either physically or emotionally. Boys who waste a lot of their time, eat and drink things they should not, stay up late at night, and drive cars rvith one arm, do not belong on football teams, and haven't a chance against adversaries who do NOT so indulge themselves. Such men destroy an organization, and must be weeded out quickly in order that the team may not suffer. Jealousy, hatred, etc., are emotional dissipations that make weak football players. Look for the good in one another, forget the other fellow's faults, and thus build for strength in organization. The fifth and last is the fellow with an inferiority complex. Get rid of it, said Rock, and get a superiority complex, instead. Make up your mind to show the coach you are the best of the 350 men on the squad, and get busy to prove it.* * *

And then he would tell them about the time he got a squad out on the field early one fall, divided it into groups according to the ambitions of the boys, ends, guards, tackles, centers, backs, etc. Then he went down the line looking them over individually. In the group who wanted to be guards there were fifteen big, stalwart boys. And there was one runt. Rock asked him his name. He said "Metzger." "You want to play guard?" asked Rock. "Yes, (Continued on Page i0)

sir." "Aren't you. a little small to be playing guard?" asked Rock. "Yes, sir," said the runt, "BIJT I'MA LITTLE ROUGH, TOO." He became one of the greatest guards in Notre Dame history. Two hundred pound opponents were just meat for his chopping block. No inferiority complex there. And no swell head. Just a guy who knew his stuff'

"Ambition," Rock told the boys, "that is, the right sort of ambition and the kind that counts most on football squads, means that you must have the ability to co-operate with the men around you, the men working with you. It is my observation that the ability to co-operate is rnore essential than personal prowess. In this day and age, no individual stands alone any more, and that is particularly true in football teams." And Rock would warn the boys about getting the swell head-"elephantiasis of the occipital lobe," he called it-and told them that it is a very dangerous malady, rendering the victim practically useless as a football player until he recovers. For this disease Rock used to apply the serum treatment, which consisted of the ridicule of his teammates, the student body, and his best girl. This serum usually reduced the fever and the swelling.

Rockne enforced the rule that no organization is safe where one or two men got all the spotlight, and the rest

of the team did the chores. He wanted every player to take his part with the chores. When he found a player looking too often at the grandstand, he would secretly hang up a sign in the boy's locker, that read: "Success is based on what you do, not how you look." He found that a most potentmedicine.

And let's close with the famous football story that you may have heard long ago but forgotten, about the guy rvho was not a football fan, who went to a big game with a friend who WAS. When the home team held the invading team on their own one-foot line, the crowd went wild with joy and enthusiasm, and uttered a bedlam of joyous noises. The guy who was NOT a football fan, asked his enthusiastic friend what all the excitement was about. The other fairly shouted at him that "we held them, we held them on our one-foot line, don't you understand? We held them on our o\,?n one-foot line !" Whereas the other was heard to calmly remark: "It seems silly to me. If they could hold them why didn't they do itin the middle of the field? Why'wait until they got to the one-foot line?" Which, while it may be logical, is NOT football.

Balzac was a profound student of humari natu.re, and considered himself an expert at reading character from handwriting.

One day an old woman brought him a little boy's copy book, and said:

"Master, what do you think of this child's possibilities?"

BaTzac studied the scrawly writing, and the lack of neatness of the entire page. He asked:

The sawmill was build by Chas. J. and Chauncey T. Pettibone in 7914, and has a daily capacity of about 20'000 board feet.

"Are you the boy's mother?"

She said she was not-no relation in fact.

"Then I will give you my frank opinion," said Balzac. "This child is slovenly and probably stupid. I fear he will never amount to anYthing."

The old woman cackled with laughter. She said:

"Master, that copy book is your very own when you were a little boy in school."

Friday

James Stricker, United Lumber Yards, Inc., N{odesto, presided at the Friday morning session.

Biownie Carslake, sales director, Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, spoke on "Dealer Relations."

H.V. Simpson, vice president, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Portland, Oregon, addressed the convention on "Out of the North." The speaker said in part

"Within the past four years Douglas fir lumber production in Northern California has boomed to an annual total of nearly r/a billion board feet," Mr. Simpson said.

"I predict that 1947 production in the Douglas Fir region as a whole-Northern California, Western Oregor.r and Western Washington-will exceed 7l billion board feet. The highest log reserves in years assure continued peak lumber production throughout the winter."

He recalled that prior to the war Oregon and Washington manufacturers shipped more than a billion feet of lumber annually by water to California markets. Reduction of the intercoastal fleet has driven much of this business to rail and highway carriers, he said. "We in the lumber industry have regretted the decline in the intercoastal fleet, and hope that some means may be found to return these steamers to this trade."

Mr. Simpson told the retailers that 16 Douglas fir sau,mills in the coast counties of Northern California are members of the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection, an independent lumber grading organization with a yearly payroll of more than $1,000,000.

"Comparison of today's lumber prices with those of 1939, the lumber executive said, is as erroneous as the comparison of agricultural prices in the same periods. He pointed out that since the war government action-increased social security payments, increased pensions, mustering-out pay, the British loan, housing loans, et ceterahas tended to add to the national purchasing power demand, without contributing anything to the supply.

"Eventual1y." he concluded, "the larv of supply and demand will settle this price difficulty. We in the Douglas fir industry have no control rvhatsoever over the demand."

A Gentle Hint

"I see your arm is in a sling;broken?" asked the inquisitive bus rider.

"Yes sir," replied the other.

"Meet with an accident?"

"No, broke it trying to pat myself on the back."

"Great Scott! What for?"

"For minding my own business."

It's A Mcn's World

"My husband is an efficiency expert in a large office."

"What does an efiEciency expert do?"

"Well, if we women did it, theyrd call it nagging."

Alternctives

There two ways of being happy; we may either diminish our wants or augment our means. Either will do, the result is the same. And it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be for you to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous or young or in good health, it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well. And if you are very wise, you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society.

-Benjamin Franklin. Noon

An old Southern planter with leanings toward atheism was discussing the matter with his equally aged Negro servant. "Sam," he asked, "do you believe in a life hereafter ?"

''Yessah, I sure duz, boss. They's a heav'n fo'folks what don' mess 'round, and fo' folks what duz, they's 'nother place jus' the opposite."

"Well, I don't know, Sam," the planter said, "but I'd like to find out. Let's make an agreement: the one who gets over first-whichever place-must come back and tell thb other what it's like."

For a moment Sam studied his master with a wrinkled brow. Then he nodded agreement.

"Yassah, !e5s-d31's all right wit' me. Provided that effen yo' dies fust, yo' comes back in the daytime, suh."

This remarkable new sealer . . available in either Clear or lThite does tltree jobs at once to dress up Fir plywood, so that it's right at home in the best company:

l. TAMES THE WllD GRAIN so that the strongly pronounced grain figure becomes tasteful and suMued. Stains are soft and lustrous.

2. LAYS THE GRAIN so that painted surfaces are satinsmooth. No "hills and valleys," due to grain-raise even on enameled surfaces.

3. SEAIS TH E S URFACE so that face-checking is vimrally eliminated. Beautifully unbroken painted surf.aces stay that way.

AND FOR BLONDE, MODERN F|NISHES, suggest Ifhite or Tinted Firzite, wiped ofi! For tinrs, it is necessary only to mix colors in oil with I7hite Firzite. Feature it, too, for undercoats. Firzite seals as i, coats.

Point out, also, that Firzite's economical to use, because it goes on quickly and easily. Requires no careful brushing.

Lumber---A New Book

"Lumber," a new book by Nelson C. Brou'n which covers the manufacture, conditioning, grading, distribution, and use of lumber, is now available for general distribution.

The book analyzes the general manufacturing procedures for converting logs into lumber, and discusses equipment, sawing methods, po\ /er requirements, and utilization of by-products. Conditioning, both by air seasoning and kiln drying, is explained in theory and practice, and the grading process is examined to present its aims and methods. The distribution of lumber through the manufacturer, retailer, and rvholesaler, and the utilization of the distributed product are dealt with at length.

Throughout the book, the author stresses the necessity for efficient and economical production methods in all stages, so that the present-day demands for greater productive capacity can be met effectively.

Mr. Brorvn is a professor at the New York State College of Forestry, Syracuse University, Syracuse, Nerv York, and has been in the lumber business as both a rnanufacturer and rvholesaler. He has worked with the United States Forest Service in the Northwest, as well as in Alabama and Florida. He has served with the United States Lumber Trade Commission in Europe, has made an economic study of the lumber industry for the United States Tariff Commission, and has acted as consultant t,r several private firms in this country.

John Wilev & Sons, Inc., 440 Fourth Avenue, Nerv York 16, N.Y., is the publisher. The price is $4.25.

Ccrlilornicr's Seq Shore

I love your shores rvhere breakers tear Like teeth of combs through tangled hair, Where sea gulls live in gripping breeze Betrveen rvhite rocks and forest trees. I love the spray that shoots the steep Like ticker tape from Neptune's deep; I love the dawn in its infant hour, The pa-lrr of rvave, the ocean's po\\'er.

Willicm A. Fairburn

Center Lovell, Maine-William A. Fairburn, president of the Diamond Match Company since 1915, died suddenly at his home here October 1. He was 71 years old.

He joined the Diamond Match Company in 1909. Mr. Fairburn conducted thousands of experiments during the next two years, with the result that early in 1911 he was able to announce the creation of an efficient, non-poisonous match made with sesqui-sulphide of phosphorus. The company relinquished all its rights to the patent covering the manufacture and sale of the new sesqui-sulphide of phosphorous match in the United States. In l9l2 he invented a device for impregnating mptch splints to prevent after-glow by a chemical bath during manufacture.

Mr. Fairburn is survived by his widow, Louise Ramsay Fairburn, and two sons, William A., Jr., of New York City, and Robert G. of Morristown, New Jersey.

Mrs. Hugh W. Hcrndley

Mrs. Margaret C. Handley, wife of Hugh W. Handley, one of the best known lumber industry executives of the West Coast, passed away October 8 after an illness of several months.

Mrs. Handley, rvho was a native of San Francisco, was m,arried 40 years ago to Mr. Handley, who is sales manager of Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co., San Francisco. Also surviving are two sons, Matt and Warren Handley, and a daughter, Mrs. Verne Rucker, and five grandchildren.
