As the familiar warning cry of "Timber-r-r-r!" echoes through the silent forest, the huge tree crashes down the slope.
The script is rarely changed. The scene has been played thousands and thousands of times, yet it never fails to quicken the pulse of every veteran lumberman within earshot. The men who fell giants of the forest in the Winton Amador Tree Farms have a quiet dedication to their work.
Quality \Winton lumber begins with this fallen tree. After it is limbed and bucked into 32-foot lengths, the huge logs are skidded down the slope to the log landing, where they are loaded on trucks headed for the mill to be converted into de pendablT- graded \Winton lumber.
The S7inton Lumber you market is backed by the men, ruachines and rnethods that have made \Winton's product great over 67 yearc. lt pays to stock and sell top-quality rVinton lumber. Give yov 14/intowlran a call today!

Come November 22nd, the entire lumber and building products industry will focus on Chicago, where the fifth innual Building Products Exposition of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association will open its four-day show in International Amphitheatre. Exhibits highlighting the modern materials, technology, and methods avxiJable to today's homeowner and builder through his local lumber and building materials dealer will attract thousands of dealers from coast to coast, plus a large attendance among dealer personnel and related industry and professional interests'
,r Some 200 exhibitors representing more than sixty categories of products and services in the building materials ,,and allied fields are expected to occupy every booth in the :1i12,000-square-foot D6novan Hall, -where -the NRLDA ' show will be housed. The unlimited load capacity in all ; areas of its concrete floor is imperative for a show of this kind where heavy loads of building products and materials , handling equipment will be moved about in'everyday dem- onstratlons,
An impressive roster of products and services will be "on stager' when the curtain rises at 10:00 o'clock on Satur- ' day mo-rning, November 22, on the 1958 NRLDA Exposition. Spectatular exhibits will cover nearly every phase' of building material dealer operation. More than ever, exhibitors have taken advantage of this opportunity to in.troduce new products, equipment, and services to building materials dealers at the only national show presented in their special interests.
Previewing a few of the important "firsts" to be featured, it is immediately apparent that great strides are being made in materials and methods tailored to today's home building and modernization needs. Dealer merchandising aids and effective point-of-sale displays are an integral part of most exhibits in the 1958 NRLDA Exposition.
Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Company will intrgduce a new patio and residential roofing in its popular "Diamond Rib" pattern which it will display along with recently developed Kaiser Shadescreens, diamond pattern translucent panels and embossed coiled flashing.
Picture windows featured as easily installed building components will be a new development shown in R.O.W. Sales Company's presentation of wood double-hung frames with improved Lif-T-Lox Balance.
' Another important area of structural components will be represented in the exhibit of Timber Engineering Company, where dealers will get a first-hand introduttion to new TECO Du-Al-Clip fiaming anchors and improved design TECO joist hangers, along with new merchandising aids, information, and displays on standard TECO products and truss designs.
Paneling for remodeling or new construction is another featured component at the 1958 NRLDA show. New "4Square LOC-WALL" paneling designed for beauty, economy, and easy application, will be one of Weyerhaeuser's' featured new products, along with "Nu-Loc" fir finish siding and boards of end- and edge-glued selected lumber and available in dealer-specified sizes.
Plywall Products Company will introduce to lumber dealers its five brand new finishes in oak and cherry prefinished wood grain patterns and colors on interior plywood, displayed along with its other standard patterns and finishes.
A new pre-finished V-plank panel in natural birch will be presented for the first time at the NRLDA Exposition by the United States Plywood Corp. Called "Charter . Birch," the finish meets or exceeds government specifications for resistance to most household "hazards," 'says its manufacturer. U.S. Plywood will also show a new 5-way .merchandising display unit for "Weldwood" finishes.
With ten species of wood dramatized in forty different ways, Western Pine Association will show dealers at the NRLDA Exposition how color can be used to sell more
"Retail Lumber, Inc., U.S.A.," the 6nal breakfast session of the 1958 NRLDA Build,ing Products Exposition in Chicago, will be arranged to simulate a board of directors meeting for all lumber dealers with an,authoritative preview for 1959 in the building materials business. Individual ",board members" will include Thomas J. Fox of John W. Fisher Lumber Co., Santa Monica, Calif. They will ply their "executive veep" with searching questions on how their operations, in widely diverse localities and community types, can adapt the forecast to their profit planning for 1959. Set for Tuesday morning, November 25, closing day of the four-day meeting and Exposition, the session will be held in the headquarters Conrad Hilton hotel. Donald J. Moe, secretary-manager of Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers Association, is assisting with planning and coordinating the forecast program.
lumber for residential or commercial building and re-
modeling.
E. L. Bruce Company will set out to prove to Exposition visitors how beautiful floors can be made germ-proof as well as resistant to wear. An exclusive new copyrighted ingredient called Corobex added to the company's polish is said to give it germ-fighting properties that remain potent during the life of the wax.
In the plastic coverings field, Visking Company's NRLDA exhibit will show how areas under construction may be enclosed with transparent "Visqueen" film to proteci passers-by as well as workers, and speed up construction in bad weather.
In the field of lumber dealer equipment, many new developments in materials handling will be exhibited in the manufacturers' booths as well as demonstrated in action programs each d"y. New hydraulic 9r-an9 -equjpmel! hounted on road trucks to speed on-the-job deliveries will be introduced by road truck exhibitors along with a newly designed truck bed that can be lowered to the ground and raised to dock level.
Among power tool equipment to be demonstrated to lumber dealJrs for the first time at the NRLDA Expopition will be a completely new concept in radial arm machine design in AMF -DeWalt's new "Imperial" cutting machine. The equipment is designed to permit improved custom- cutting by the lumber dealer at lower cost, says its manufacturer. - Wallboards in many new and extra-durable finishes will be prominent among first showings at the NRLDA Exposition. Masonite Corporation will show a new version of its Panelok system for modernizing old walls, consisting of 2'xU hardboard panels held vertically against steel splines. The system admits Adjust-a-bilt fittings into the splines to hold "built-in" desks, cabinets, etc.
Paper-packaged lumber and paneling in all standard industry patterns will attract dealer attention in Georg-iaPacidc eompany's NRLDA Booth. Packaged redwood finish and fir pattern lumber will be brand new. The plasticized. krafC paper packaging, adopted by G-P to provide dealers with "mill-fresh" lumber, is said to withstand one and one-half years of actual weather without loss of waterproofing, flexibility, or strength. Another feature of the exhibit witt be new GPX Yellow Bevel Siding combining advantages of plywood and lumber and featuring a tough phenolic-resin overlay surface which is reported to be an ixcellent vapor barriir eliminating paint blister, check, and peel.
Simpson Logging Company and Simpson Redwood will incorporate promotion and merchandising assistance in their displays covering a variety of redwood products, a new calendered perforated acoustical tile and four roof deckings including new Forestone Acoustical Roof Deck which combines the functions of decking, interior finish, insulation, and sound treatment.

A 1958 Christmas sales program, which features customer app-eal with free accessories and special gift wrapping with each p,ortable electric tool, is announced by Thor Power Tool Company, Chicago, to help dealers aird wl-rolesalers sell Thor's No. 23 l/4-inch SpeedDrill, No. 15R SpeedSander, and No. 440 jig saw as Christmas gifts.
__Six-high-quality trvist drills will be packed with each Thor No. 23 SpeedDrill, a Carbi-Grit permanent metal abrasive sheet with each No. 15R SpeedSander, ancl four metal and wood cutting blades with each No. 440 jig saw. witlr no charge to dealer, wholesaler, or customer foi these Christmas bonus accessories for Thor power tool gift buyers.
Each tool carton will be wrapped by Thor in bright Christmas packaging before shipping to dealers ind wholesalers, providing eye-catching displays in themselves.
In -additio-n, Thor's Christmas sales program inclucles colorful cardboard window and counter disilavs for each of the three tools, with a place to show tl.re aciual tool on each display. Other sales tie-ins available to dealers without charge are tool circulars for use at the counter, advertising mats, radio and TV scripts.
The entire Thor Christmas promotion will be backed by national advertising with easel reproductions of national ads available for dealer window or counter use. The Thor 2.5-amp, l/4-inch No. 23 SpeedDrill and No. l5R orbital SpeedSander already are leaders among popu-
lar-priced portable electric power tools. Thor's No. ry+O ji1 saw, newest tool in the portable saw field. cuts uD to 2-irich w3od, tilts to 45 degrees, and blows cuttings clear'of the line ot cut with a unique vent design.
According to recent viewer surveys of outdoor advertising-motion , displays attract and stop more traffic, for lorrger periods. than any other type. Wtrite motion displays have lor-rg been used on heavy triffic areas, their high cost prevented wide acceptance and use.
_ Now, thanks to a new service introduced by Homasote Company, every dealer can use these four fooi by six foot motion displays at an approximate cost of $25 each. Created ar.r<l .clesigned by Easi-Bild Pattern Company, the first two nrotion clisplays available contain "Chrlstmas Greetings.,' Sarrta u'aves his arm in build-it-vourself Pattern No. 762t'hile a Reindeer bounds up and down over snow-covered fields in Pattern No. 764.

(Illustrated below and also on Page l.)-I'o. simplify building these displays, Easi-Bild provides full-size patterns which simplify cutiing out the figure and painting in the background. By following the pattern, anyone can make like a "pro"-even on the first attempt-sinie he merely traces the pattern on the Homasote and paints in eacl-r -color in the position the pattern specifies. Thii is typi- cal of sign painteis' techniques and provides the dealer with professional-looking displays at one-tenth normal cost.
While the first two motion displays feature Christmas Greetings, other displays will bi available to per- mit using the same motor and linkage 12 month3 of the year.
Keepin-g a company name before the public is good relations and any .advertising that creates good conversation lea.ds to good business. Dealers who recognize the advertising value of these traffic-stopping displays shoulcl make arrang'ements,with parking lot operafors ancl other key locatiolrs, in order to obtain the best possible points for-featuring these displays.
Every retail merchant, manufacturer, service and professional man is a prospect for this type of display-the lumber dealer can plan bn offering different displavs to tl-rose customers where no conflict arises as to location.
While home-owners, civic clubs, fraternal organizations, police and fire houses will all want to bu;ld these motion displays, they were primarily designed to help the lumber dealer do a better outdoor advertising job for his own place of business.
The displays measure 4 feet by 6 feet. Both are urarle of llomasote Board, which costs approximately 10c a sctuare foot. The pattern provides complete directions that simplify building and painting each display-as well as for installing the special motor and necessary linkage. The patterns are $3.00 each. The motor and linkage cost $9.50 iret for each display.
All orders for these patterns should be serrt directlv to Easi-Bild Pattern Company, Pleasantville, N. Y.

Some 30 hardy Club 9 members left their business cares behincl and braved the unusual 90-degree weather to participate in the annual Ronnclup golf tournamnet. TPL's Harry Hood was in charge of this portion of the Roundup, r'vith G&G's Fred Ziese "riding shotgun" as seconcl in comrnand.
Gay Bradt also did yeoman duty all afternoon by corrverting United States currency to something more acceptable to the S. F. Golf Club in order to keep food and refreshments alike flowing smootl-rly.
Low net rvinner and new possessor of the Roundup Tropl-ry was Sun Valley Lumber Co. Dealer Tom Jacobsen, Sr.., with a 106-43-63 scorecard. Last year's winner, Ev Lewis, put up a stiff fight for his trophy but conceded in the waning moments of the tournament.

A new procedure to stretch out FHA mortgage commitment authority has been announced by FHA, which said that extraordinary demands of a rapidly expanding market in trade-in houses made the change necessary.
A large percentage of applications for insurance of loans on older houses does not involve an actual sale, but are trade-in houses that are going on the market, for which buyers have not yet been found. Under present procedures, approximately 35/o of these commitments issued are not actually used.
Under the new procedure, a commitment will not be made until actually needed. The new procedure provides for an "agreement to insure" on existing housing instead of a "commitment to insure" when no immediate sale is involved.
Some concern over the effect of the new procedure has been expressed in certain quarters for fear that it might
cause some lenders to refuse construction money to specula- tive builders. Whether this concern is warranted remains to be seen, said the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.
Because of an unprecedented number of applications for insurance being received by FHA, the general insurance authorization of that Agency which was increased by $4 billion by Congress this year will soon be exhausted. The new procedure is designed to make the present authorization go as far as possible. When Congress returns in January there undoubtedly will be a request for additional authorization by FHA.
Solana Beach, Calif.-The Encinitas Lumber Company started in September on an expansion of the yard. A building permit for $4,000 was issued to extend the display rooms and make the retail yard operation more in the selfservice line.

Also please note on the schedule above that much of the course is devoted to actual practical work under the supervision of trained instructors-each of whom will be a specialist in his field.
While the Workshop is designed to provide yard employes with a solid foundation in estimating, and no previous estimating training or experience is necessary, many who have had experience in the field will also find the program valuable, as many new ideas will be presented and explored.
The registration fee of $30 per person for the entire fourday Workshop will include all necessary materials and texts to be used in the course. Rooms, at $6 per day or $10 double, meals and personal expenses are additional. To insure maximum individual instruction, total enrollment in the Workshop .Jvill be limited to 30 students-on a first come: first served basis.

Redwood exhibits these potential values only alter skilled processing from forest to homesite. Through 90 years, The Pacific Lumber Company has emerged as the oldest major redwood producer because PALCO Siding has earned the reputation for delivering these values with unsurpassed uniformity - at no extra premium in cost. For PALCO has constantly pioneered efficient flow-line methods, scientific seasoning and kiln drying, improved equipment, and personnel policies which keep skilled and responsible experts on the job from apprenticeship to retirement. These are the ingredients which make up the "hidden values" you expect in redwood - and you get in PALCO Redwood Siding.

i' West Coast hemlock, long a favorite lumber for struc1 lural and finish purposes, now joins its sister western spe' cies, Douglas fir, in the glue laminated field.
During the past few years, there has been a phenomenal
increase in the use of structural glue laminated lumber for churches, schools, auditoriums,' homes, warehouses, commercial buildings, bridges, and other large structures. This great increase in use of glue laminated lumber (estimated by one national architectural magazine at 500/o in three years) has necessitated a constant study of new techniques and new methods in end use.
For years, Dbuglas fir was used almost exclusively by the glue laminating industry. In the past few years, there has been more and more demand for glue laminated west coast hemlock.
To keep pace with this demand, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has iust issued a new standards for West Coast hemlock. Called Standard Specifications for Structural Glued Laminated West Coast Hemlock Lumber, this edition, for convenience, has been divided into two publications.
The first booklet covers Design and is intended primarily for architects and engineers. The second booklet covers Fabrication and is for the use of timber fabricators and inspection agencies. These new standards also incorporate the latest recommendations of the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. Copies of both are available without charge from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S.W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
"These new standards," said T. K. May, technical director of WCLA, "are currently being used by the timber fabricating industry."
May said the publication Design includes design stresses, eftect of duration of load, and effect of curvature on stresses. Also included are recommended minimum radius of curvature, criteria for end joints in individual laminations, and adhesives. Standard sizes of glued laminated members are given. The standard appearance grades, recommended by the American Institute of Timber Construction, are included in the appendix. The specifications also contain a table of properties of sections of the standard sizes of glued laminated members which are handy for design.
The Fabrication publication, May continued, contains requirements for lumber grades, adhesives, end joints, edge joints, assembly of laminations into a member, tapered members, and protection of glued laminated members. Combinations of lumber grades appropriate to the design stresses listed in the Design publication are given.

Stockholders of Mutual Plywood Corporation, at a meeting in Eureka, California, have overwhelmingly approved sale of all the company's assets and properties to United States Plywood Corporation for $7,500,000, announces lJ. S. Plywood President Gene C. Brewer. Principal properties are a plywood mill with a productive capacity of 100 million square feet per year and extensive timber holdings which, added to U. S. Plywood holdings in the same area, will provide the mill a reservoir of raw materials.
Mutual Plywood was organized as a worker-owned cooperative in 1946 and began operating in 1950. Mr. Brewer pointed out that it has been one of the most efficient plants in the plywood industry. He said that, to encourage continuation of the mill's high productive standards, U. S. Plywood is developing a plan to share with employes the economies resulting from their own productive efforts.
- Portland, Ore. -; Anticipating seasonal slowing of the building market, Georgia-Pacific Corporation will curtail fir plywood production l5/o to 20/o iffective immediately, announces President Robert B. Pamplin. He said the move is designed to help avoid repetitior of last year's glutted market which reacted badly upon the whole industry.
ft was stressed that the curtailment is being made despite the fact that construction is at record levlls and every indicator shows it will continue high.
Mr. Pamplin said, "Autumn historically brings a mode-rate and temporary pause. This creates the need to produce plywood at a somewhat slower pace and we are recognizing the economic facts involved in curtailing production.- Our production schedules have been previ6ully expanded to meet the unprecedented demand foi fir plywood."

Plans are being completed at this time to open a sales warehouse in San Bernardino to handle distribution in the "Kite" and Imperial Valley trade territory, including Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
_ {ey_personnel in this vast distributing operation includes Rudi Lohrey in the San Fernando Vall-ey, Perry Freeman and Bob Allen in Los Angeles, and Leo Cann, superintendent of the flush door plant.
At the meeting sponsored by the National Association of Home Builderi and the United Industrv Committee held in Washington last month, Jack Carlow- learned that the women of America want more dramatic doors, in particu- lar more drama in front doors. The outcome of suc-h information means that Carlow Company now stocks more than 50 dif_erent types of front doorq intluding the beautiful all new Nordco "Riviera."
He also listened intently to the various ideas of the selected women attending the meeting and came up with the definite knowledge that wider front doors are^ desirable, and his firm is presently working on such an idea of improvement to turn out bigger front doors.
Jack Carlow is active in the Southern California Door Institute. As counsel for this association he initiated a peti- tion to the railroad companies, which has been docketed, to equalize port absorbtions, milling-in-transit and overland common .point rebates at Los Angeles harbor as opposed to conditions now occurring at Longview, Washington.

R. property northeast of Main street and the railroad track. The deal is being handled by the Santa Fe's industrial development section, which preferred not to say anything further until final details were completed.
Little was known locally of the lumber company but it was said here the firm may be connected with Bratih Bros. One local lumberman toid The Corona Indeoendent he thought the new yard would be wholesale only but ne didn't
know for sure. The site had lain dormant since a distastrous fire 13 years ago.

Don Braley, president of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2, announces that the early promotion of Christmas party ticket sales indicates a sellout for the colossal event scheduled for the evening of Thursday, December 11, at the Biltmore hotel.
At a committee meeting held at the CMD Club September 23, it was determined to start the activity at 6:29 p.m. instead of noon, as previously announced. Others in attendance at this special meeting included Jim Forgie, Harvey Koll, Freeman Campbell, Ole May, Joe Petrash, Harry Boand, Ken Schmidtke, Don Bufkin and Chuck Lember. Survey work conducted by all members of the Steering committee indicated an evening affair would draw a much larger attendance than a party starting at noon.
Santa will be on hand at 6:29 p.m. to greet the youngsters from LeRoy Boys' I{ome and distribute gifts to get the show on the road. Members of the Los Angeles Hoo-HooEtte Club 1 will prepare individual packages for each and every boy. Members of Club 2 will ascertain what the boys want Santa to bring them and purchases will be made accordingly.
It was also decided to call this afrair the Southern California Lumber Industry Christmas Party in view of the fact that all organized lumber associations will participate in this big event for underprivileged youngsters.
Following the presentation of gifts, dinner will be served promptly at 7:09. The party will then be taken over by the adults for dancing and entertainment until after miclnight.

"Ruffled Grouch" and his mate, "Ruffled Spouse," are two of the fanciful birds caricatured in "Birdbagger's Guide," a color-slide film produced by Simpson Logging Company to promote its line of acoustical products. The film is for distributor and dealer meetings with their salesmen, builders, remodeling contractors, and others interested in the sound conditioning market. Humorously conceived "birds," such as the Western Video and the Teenage Rockingbird, are used to illustrate the fact that noise has become a major problem in today's homes.

Mr. Thompson views the more-than-100,000 vacation cabins being built in the United States every year as a natural and highly profitable market for the lumber and building materials dealer and for component construction because, he points out, "the great majority of such building is self-help and most contractors and home builders are not competing for this type of market."

revealing construction details, the cabin becomes a practical means of demonstrating graphically what can be done on a much larger scale in any type of home or commercial building.
Principles being the same, Mr. Thompson points out, the basics of component construction can be applied just as economically to any building, whether it be a garage, a standard-plan cottage, a luxury custom-built home, or a commercial structure.
"As the building material dealers'profits are squeezed against the rising costs of doing business," Chairman Thompson stated, "merchandising of Lu-Re-Co homes becomes one of his most important jobs, and more and more retail lumber dealers are adopting the practical and highly economic principles of component construction."

Four Baldwin SR-4 strain measuring systems are being applied to the problem of redesigning circular sawmills so that these mills will produce more usable lumber and lower quantities of such-by-products as sawdust, slabwood and chips. The measuring systems were built by the Electronics and Instrumentation Division, Waltham, Mass., of BaldwinLirna-Harnilton Corp.
Inquiries concerning instruments for making measurements at the sawmill should be addressed to Electronics and Instrumentation Division, Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corp., Waltham, Mass.

The young minister was a regular member of a golf foursome that played once a week and had been doing so for years.
One day a friend who was visiting with another member of the preacher's foursome asked him:
"With all the heat that sometimes arises in the game of golf, does the preacher ever use language unbecoming his cloth?"
Kansas City, Kans.-The new building material distribution warehouse of the Long-Bell Division, International Paper Co., being built in the Fairfax Industrial District here, is making ample use of wood and wood products, according to the recent Log of Long-Bell magazine.
The 100,000-sq. ft. unit will feature poleplywood construction with weather impervious plywood walls and roof. Treated poles, spaced 30x24 ft., sunk directly in the ground to eliminate an expensive foundation, carry special laminated plywood girders for roof support. Exterior walls will be plastic-faced plywood panels. Interior partitions will be honeycomb-core sandwich panels in which corrugated board is laminated between plywood sheets. It will be the largest building ever constructed using this new building technique.
All building materials used in the construction, except the dock-high concrete floor, are Long-Bell manufactured or handled by the Division. Completion is scheduled for this month. The wholesale warehouse will supply the Long-Bell retail yards in the Midwest and other company customers in the six-state Midwest region.
Recent purchasers of the Bennett Z-Way Panel Saw, reported by Wayne C. Ervine, Dealer & Service, Atascadero, Calif., include the following:
Builders Market, San Diego; Ventura Plywood Co.; Allen's Lumber Co., San Rafael; A. A. Plywood, Santa Barbara; Hicks Lumber Co., Salinas; Philips Plywood Co., North Hollywood; Watsonville Lumber Co.; Ambrose Cabinet Shop, Pittsburg; American Valley Lumber Co., Quincy; Fife, Coffman & Mills, Gridley; A-1 Plywood, Riverside (which bought its second unit, a S-footer); U, S. Plywood Corp., San Diego, and the Home Lumber Co., Chula Vista, Calif.
The golfer answered: "No, he does not. In all the time I have played with him, and in spite of the often great temptation to cuss which golf develops, I have never heard him say a single word that was not entirely proper. However, I have noticed this: sometimes when the preacher is having a bad game, when he misses he spits and, where he spits, THE GRASS NEVER, NEVER GROWS AGAIN."

Chicago-Sales of perforatecl insulation board tile to lurnber and building supply dealers in the first six morlths of 1958 topped the record sales of the first half of last year by approxinntely 75/c. Charles M. Gray, manager of the Insulation Board Institute. pointed out that sales of this
noise-reducing fiberboarcl tile last year climbecl 33/c above those of the previous year.
"The spurt in tile sales to retail outlets over the last 18 months indicates an awakening to tl-re importance of residential sound conditioning on-the part of home orvrers," Gray said, "because much of the perforated tile is moving across lumber yard counters into the hands of do-it-yourself enthusiasts who are putting it on their ceilings.
"This sound-cluieting tile is being solcl in suificient qrrarl- tity to cover the living room ceilings of more tl.ran twothircls of the estin.ratecl 1,000,000 or more new houses being btrilt this year."
Gray urgecl retailers to take advantage of consumer interest in this insulation their selling programs.

I do not ask, my God, for mystic power To heal the sick and lame, thd deaf and blind; I ask Thee humbly for the gracious power, , Just to be kind. "
I do not pray to see the shining beauty ' Of highest knowledge, most divinely true; f pray that, knowing my duty, This will I do.
I do not ask that man, with flattering. finger, ' ' Should point me out within the crowded mart; But only that the thought of me may linger. In one glad heart.
I would not rise upon the men below me, Or pulling at the robes of men above; I would that friends, a few dear friends, may know , And knowing, love.
f do not pray for palaces of splendor, Or far among the world's delights to roam; I pray that I may know the tender meaning Of home sweet home.
I do not ask that heaven's golden treasure Upon my little blustering life be spent; But O, I ask Thee for the perfect pleasureOf calm content.
Every effort of the youngster with his shiny new ice skates just brought him a hard fall. He was very slow at learning, and he was getting lots of bumps and bruises. A sympathetic bystander said to him: "Buddy, you're getting hurt. Why don't you quit for a while?"
"Say," said the boy indignantly, "I didn't buy these skates to quit with-I bought'em to learn with."

A medical student was advised by an old doctor to specialize in skin diseases, because:
The patients of a skin specialist do not call him in the middle of the night, nor do they ask him to visit them at their homes. They don't telephone distress messages to the country club, or send telegrams to the football stadium. Finally, they never get well, but they also never die from a skin ailment. They are perfect patients.
They had suddenly become very rich and had bought a farm complete with live stock of all kinds. Said a visitor one day: "Do your hens lay many eggs?"

A lion met a tiger as they drank beside the pool.
Said the tiger to the lion, "You're roaring like a fool."
"That's not foolish," said the lion, a twinkle in his eyes, "They call me king of all the beasts, because I advertise."
A rabbit heard them talking, and ran home like a streak; He thought he'd try the lion's plan, his roar was just a squeak.
A fox came to investigate, had luncheon in the woods; So, when you advertise, my friends, be sure you have the goods.

A new mode of construction attracted attention at the San Francisco Art Show in North Beach this Fall. The religious exhibit was housed in a tank house developed by the George Windeler Co., Ltd., of San Francisco. The original concept by Sales Manager Art Wall was developed by architects Evelyn and George Kosmak to simulate a large Redwood drum with twin doors.
As seen at the Art Show, it was 24 ft. in diameter with floors of 3 inch Redwood. The walls were 12 ft. high of 2-inch tongue and groove set upright as in regular tank construction with 2 doors, each 3 ft. wide separated by 3 ft. of wall to accommodate "in" and "out" traffic. The deck was of 2"x3" Redurood set on edge with a marquee above. In the model exhibited, a transparent plastic sheet was stretched over the top and drawn down at the sides to simulate a drumhead. In actual use, this could be a conical wood roof, or a design indicated by the archit:ect.
The George Windeler Co., Ltd. has also pioneered a large Redwood tank to be used as a swimming pool. This tank house carries through the multiple circular modular construction theme. Single units could be used with other conventional construction for pleasing arrangements.
Sacramento. Calif.-Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 5 here will offer an ernployment information exchange to women with experience in the lumber industry. Mary Caplis, who is chairman of this service project, invites inquiries from both women seeking such employment and employers who need experienced lumber office employes. The club's affiliation with Hoo-Hoo-Ettes in other cities enables it to aid lumberwomen moving into or leaving the Sacramento area.
The recent September meeting at the Parkview restaurant was devoted to this and other activities planned for tl-re Fall months. Named as Benevolence committee for the holiday charities were Mrs. Opal Slater, Mrs. Esther DeVore and Mrs. Diana Cerates. E,ntertainment for the "bosses" at the first annual Boss's Night, October 14, was delegated to Mrs. Lou Howe, Mrs. Barbara Adams and Mary Caplis on the committee.

'Lumber trading followed a spotty trend in the period ending October 24, according to Crow's Lumber Market News Service. Retailers bought more heavily than usual in July and August and are making up for it now by staging a slowdown, Crow's said. While there were a few indications that the downward trail is about to level off, there had been no dependable signs of it yet. However, it is more difficult today to buy green fir dimension at the lowest end of the price spread. On Utility dimension, some mills were trying to get a dollar more, while others have not felt justified in attempting it. Some support for a firmer tone was also seen in the fact that at today's price levels a good many log-buying mills are looking at their hole-cards and, if they decide to shut down, will likely be out of production till Spring, Crow's said. There was a fairly wide price spread in Std & Btr K-D dimension, both fir and hemlock, depending on mills' order files. Straight Standard dimension was steady. Ponderosa pine boards did not gain strength but did not suffer pricewise either, and there was a fair amount of mixedcar business With Winter approaching and air-dried stock disappearing, pine mills were not forcing their boards on the market.
