I should be in the jailhouse this

I drove a 1915 truck down

out license tags

license on me.
The man in

power truck and somehow made
it out of the parking lot. As we
hedge-hopped the safety islands
down 14th street, the GMC man
told me how his company got
hold of the truck, which likely
will be the darling of the truck
show General Motors will hold
here June 14.
It seems that the 35-year-old
job once belonged to a guy nam
ed Lewis Durnte, who was a
"cut-stone" dealer In Cincinnati.
Mr. D. used the thing to haul
tomb stones wherever tomb
stones were indicated.
As I get it, the grave-stone
man sold it to a man who hauled
tomb stones wherever tomb
stones were indicated.
As I get it, the grave-stone
man sold it to a man who hauled
beer in it. And finally it got back
into the hands of Mr. D. It's all
pretty complicated and confus

Anyhow, away we went. The

loor and of the old-fashioned
variety where you have to pujh
a spring in to get from first to
second. Cars scattered.
At 14th and Pennsylvania, the
whistle blowing private cop who
has been standing there for
years waiting to become a cor
poral, whistled.
"Where's your D.C. tags?" he
bawled. "And let me see your
truck driver's license and union
card."
The driver (me) took off the
glasses and he said:
"Hi-ya Nick."
He whistled us on.

Promotion Brings
County Timber's
Value Up, Is View
The volume of usable standing
timber on Jackson county's for
ested acres has, in effect, been
increased by at least 25 per
cent in the past five years, in
the opinion of H. V. Simpson,
executive vice-president of the
West Coast Lumbermen's asso
ciation. He said that a nation-wide
program of lumber promotion,
now in its fourth year, had
opened up large new markets for
west coast lumber and had made
a major contribution to improved
forest utilization.
"We have gone directly to the
American consumer of lumber."
Simpson said, "and told him how
to use lower grades of lumber
in his home and farm construc
tion, at a saving to him, and yet
at no sacrifice of strength and
rigidity in his buildings."
Demand Created
"By creating a strong demand
for lower grades of lumber," the
official stated, "we have made it
possible for Jackson county lum
bermen to bring in many thou
sands of additional feet per acre
of low grade logs which were
once left in the woods for lack of
a market. That is forest conser
vation of the highest order.
"Every one of Jackson coun
ty's 88 sawmills and their em
ployees have profited from this
national promotion program,"
Simpson continued. "It has
meant additional millions of dol
lars of income to Jackson coun
ty firms.
Sponsor Campaign
"A number of Jackson county
lumbermen are sponsoring this
nalional advertising campaign,"
the lumber executive stated, "by
membership in the West Coast
association. The time may come
when demand for lumber drops
off. Then we will need to re
double our efforts to sell west
coast lumber in competition with
substitutes and other materials.
Then we will need the united
support of every sawmill in
Jackson county."
Simpson cited the 502,810.000
million-foot estimated output of
Jackson county mills in 1949 as
one of the county's major eco
nomic supports. Lumber as a
crop was worth an estimated
$32,179,840 to the county last
year in cash income, he said, of
which nearly $16,600,000 ' was
wages.
Auditor Here
He announced that an official
of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association, Emmett Stoddard,
auditor, would be in Jackson
county for the next several days
calling on local sawmills to tell
them of the industry's promotion
program.
"We need to have more saw
mills contributing financially to
this national advertising and pro
motion of lumber," Simpson
urged, "if we are to maintain the
high levels of production and
employment built up during the
past four years. Every sawmill,
no matter what its production,
should be an active supporter of
this program to insure the con
tinuance of a prosperous lumber
industry and a prosperous Jack
son county."

Bleeden, who was born in Chi

they treat his hometown on the

"Movie-makers seem to be
fascinated wtih Chicago history
between 1890 and 1920," he ex

And that's not all, Bleeden
went on.
"They pictured Wabash ave
nue as a street of forgotten men,"
he said. "Sort of a gay '90s 'skid
row.' They couldn't have been
further off.
"Wabash avenue then was a
tough district from South 22nd
street north to Van Buren street.
That's where the 'Mickey Finn'
was invented. No down-and-outer
would have lasted there 20 min
utes. "Yet that's what the movie
version would have you believe.
They filled it full of broken
down bums. The truth was, it
was full of gamblers and thieves
and ladies of the streets.
"And they weren't poor. They
were doing fine financially,
anyway."
Bleeden isn't happy with the
way Vic Mature's saloon was
smashed in technicolor, either.
"I checked with Carter Henry
Harrison II," Bleeden said. "He's
90, now, but he was mayor of
Chicago In the old days. And he
said nobody ever wrecked any
bars there then."
Would Make Dull Show
A spokesman from 20th Century-Fox,
which made the pic
ture, said everything Bleeden's
griping about is "undoubtedly
true."
"Who looks at a history
book?" he quipped. "You can get
nn awful dull show that way. We
were out for entertainment."
Bleeden says he wasn't enter
tained. About the only thing that
looked right, he says, was Betty
Grablc.
But she always does even
when she's not historically ac
curate. THE
