"The home life may jnake for narrowness or selfishness or for preoccupation with material things, and with trivialities. It may quite as easily be so directed that It will make for breadth of sympathy, consideration of others, and Interest In the higher values of life. In our highly complex civilization, neither the Individual character nor the family life will ordinarily attain Its finest fruit unless home life Is consciously planned for and wisely fostered. The well-planned home will pro vide for health, , safety, economy, convenience, comfort and beauty. But beyond these, manifest needs, it should provide for the cultiva tion of all that is best in family lire." 4r4v' 3!U i ' - - - , l i - t ! - v l" I I West Coast : I Lumbermen's Association THE ON EONTA DESIGN NO. 114 !
