Builders' Hordwore Subiect of This fflonth's Portqble tfflA School

The first of the monthly series of "Know Your Products" sales courses, sponsored by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, was held last month with encouraging results wherever the meetings were staged. The instructor for the first program was Earl Pennington, DFPA regional representative, who presented actual demonstrations of the manufacturing of various types of plywood, including a discussion of their characteristics and respective grading rules. A major part of the program was devoted to the end-use applications of plywood, including several unique innovations such as the 1959 DFPA Christmas promotion.

All monthly meetings commence at 7 :00 p.m. sharp and end at 9:30 p.m. Schedule of November meetings is as follows:

The Retort Gourteous

He was digging in the mud around the wheel of his bogged-down car when a stranger stopped.

"Stuck in the mud?" he wanted to know.

"Oh, no !" replied the sweating man with the shovel. "You see, my motor died here and I'm just digging it a grave."

Love Knows No Fqvorites

By Margaret Morrison

It must be admitted that love is more practical than fear. It harmonizes, nourishes, beautifies, constructs and maintains good. Love is never idle nor unemployed in blessing or in serving.

Love, in its wisdom, withholds not needful rebuke, but administers it with the spirit that heals. Love knows no favoritism, but shines alike on all because it is love, and can do no other.

Love is holy, whole, or healthful, and confers health because it sees scientifically the infinitude of good, and is aware of omnipotence. Love is serene in conscious security, and remains unshadowed, uninterrupted, in the midst of seeming hatred and malice.

Love is light, transforming gloom into glory, lifting burdens, pointing the path of freedorn and prosperity. Love is law, irresistible in its operation.

Femole Gouroge

That a woman has more courage than a man is something no thinking person can deny. Have you ever seen a man go into a store and try on four or five or six $100 suits with only 30 cents in his pocket?

The Old Stoge Roqd

Around the narrow bend, the swerving stage Careens and turns, resumes its drunken pace; The whip fings out in writhing, snapping rage, Thick clouds of dust begrime the driver's face.

And others go the curving, shade-flicked way: A herder, leading sheep to distant fold; A thief, a rogue, a priest in sackcloth grey, A miner with his bags of virgin gold.

But now, in lone and solitary state, The road draws close its cape of dust-choked weeds; The oaks bend low in grief at the long wait For men, and carts, and reckless, daring deeds.

The wagon-ruts grow faint, and then are gone; In memory alone, the past lives on.

-Jennetts Gould.

Reolly Acqnointed

"And when did you first,become acquainted with your husband?"

"When I asked him for five dollars the day after the wedding."

Privote Enterprise

The power to choose the work I do, To grow and have the larger view;

To know and feel that I am free

To stand erect, not bow the knee.

To be no chattel of the state, To be the master of my fate;

To dare, to risk, to lose, to winTo make my own career begin . .

To serve the world in my own way, To gain in wisdom day by day; With hope and zest to climb, to riser call that Private $:H:n casson.

Good logic

Defense Attorney: "Tell the court in your own words how you happened to take the car."

Defendant: "Well, Judge, the car was standing in front of the cemetery, so I naturally thought the owner was dead."

His Drenms Come True

When he wandered around the country as a young and unknown architect, Ralph Adams Cram used to say "There ought to be better-looking churches around here." Obeying his creative urge, unable to see a need without doing something to supply it, he began making drawings which he sent to congregations, with notes containing words such as these: "Church proposed for such-and-such a site." It was surprising how many churches were built from these drawings. And Mr. Cram became the foremost church architect in the country.
