urable service to the medical bat
talion with which he is connected.

Lud Denny Lends a
Helping Hand
Lud Denny got home early from
the plant the other day, and
found his missus in the middle
of housecleaning, with the fur
niture moved around, and the
place a shambles.
Some men might have grum
bled about getting precious lit
tle time off, and finding their
home upset. But not Lud. Ho
just took his coat off, and pitched
in and helped.
And when he got the last cur
tain in place, and stepped down
off the ladder, there was his mis
sus with a tray of cold beer and
cheese blintzes she'd made ten
Lud. And blintzes are Lud's fa
vorite dish.
From where I sit, It's little
thing like this that will help to
case our troubled lives today
see us through difficulties-keep
alive the spirit of good fellow
ship and mutual respect. Try
trading a helping hand for ice
cold beer and blintzes. See if it
doesn't make life seem a little
brighter!

A tree is a complex mechanism for the extraction and storage
of minerals, chemicals, and moisture from the soil . . . and sunlight
from the air. It is the kind of machine we need lots of because
the compound which it manufactures . . . WOOD ... can in turn
be transmuted into a rapidly expanding group of new industrial
substances.

to provide them ... so the forest industries are rapidly expanding
