And, for all his modern power machines, the Douglas fir woodsman still needs a giant's strength to har vest the trees. The Douglas fir is no picnic tree. The Douglas fir is no pretty thing.

There the rugged lumber tree serves in strength and in archi tectural, pictorial beauty too! Western forestry has a mission with the public, as well as its main mission on the land. It is to teach people around the coun try to see the source and foun dation of our forest resource in the soil itself. And more to visualize the true, the enduring beauty of the Douglas fir tree as lumber, serving and showing handsomely in home, church school, farm building and other structures that are vital ele ments of American life. ACH HIMMEL! Don't look now but George Jue, owner of the Lamps of China in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, has been named "Kraut Man of the Year." It all came about when the Kraut Packers Association discovered that the Chinese were eating sauerkraut in the third century B. C. when Berlin and Frankfurt were just water stops for roving tribes. Here, George dis plays a healthy appetite for kraut and wieners.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY Hollywood (U.R) Rock Hud son, a good looking ex-truck driver who soared to the top rr, with "Giant, has taken an other s t p, playing a griz zled drunk to get away from that "hand some boy" category. Launchers at Universal - In- AMne Mosby tern ational's commissary today hardly recog nize Rock. He wore a two-day beard and a cheap suit and his hair hung to his eyes. Something Different I thought I'd try something different than straight leading man stuff which isn't too much fun," he said with the grin that helped make him one of Holly wood's few young stars. In this picture I try to build little character." Talking to Rock you realize how a non-actorish type man must suffer when he has to make faces and display intimate feel ings in front of a camera while two dozen bored electricians prop men and actors look on. "Playing a . character part gives you something to hide bed nina, Hudson explained thoughtfully. 'Giant" not only made Rock a a grade A star but may bring him an Oscar nomination, the thought of which makes the non talkative, bashful actor "a ner vous wreck." Now his current picture, "Pylon" promises to open new doors. In the film from the William Faulkner book, Rock plays, if the press will pardon the ex pression, a slightly alcoholic newspaperman "creep" who works for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which Faulk ner once wrote for. "In every other movie my hair has been crisply groomed, combed' before every take, but this guy is a crumb," Hudson said happily, pulling his hair over his eyes. "I'm dying to play a heavy. It would be such fun to chew up the scenery and bay at the moon. My next is 'Farewell to Arms," a handsome man part, which will be done in Rome, but then I'm back here to play a broken- down sea captain." He rubbed his hands over his eyes and said, "I'm not doing very well today. Tired. Sat up late talking to friends." "But then," he reflected, "Some people think our best scene in 'Giant' was when Liz Taylor and I reconcile at her sister's wedding. And yet we both were hung-over from being up late the night before at the photoplay banquet." Something Funny Our interview ended, Hudson walked over to the studio still gallery. "I hate to pose for still pho tographs much harder than acting before a motion picture camera," he growled. "The pho tographer has to say something funny or I can't smile. "But then." he concluded frankly, "I'm self - conscious about everything NOT WORTH IT Aylesham. England (U.R) Miner Bert Gough set out with all good intentions of getting to work on time Sunday, but he was delayed.

On The Side By E. V. DURLINO (Distributed by King Features Svndicate, inc.) What should a man pay for a home to be considered a clev er, conservative and sensible fellow? According to experts on the subject, the price should not exced two and a half times the man s early income. The month ly payments should not be more than one-fourth of his monthly income. Sidelights It was Pierre Beaumarchais, who observed, "Man is distin guished from the beasts by his practice of drinking when he is not thirsty and making love at all seasons." . . . Am asked if Al Jolson ever played the Palace vaudeville theatre in New York. And if not, why not. Al never played the Palace. It was be cause he was always under con tract to the Shuberts during the heyday of the Palace. Almost Confidential According to a specialist in physical checkups, the most com mon ailments among business executives are obesity, cardio vascular disorders and anemia . . . The term "Battle of the Cen tury," referring to a boxing bout was originated by W. O. "Bill" McGeehan, then of the San Francisco Bulletin, when cover ing the Gans-Nelson fight in Goldfield-, Nev., in 1906. Education Among the very successful men who are graduates of cor respondence schools is Ca'pt. Ed die Rickenbacker, top man of the Eastern Airlines. Eddie left public school when 12 years old and went to work in a Colum bus, Ohio, glass factory. Shortly after he started taking a cor respondence course in the "The ory of Engines." At the age of 16 Rickenbacker was an experi enced mechanic. Guide To Gals Aries (March 21-April 20) born executives should have secre taries born under Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) or Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Females born under these signs have what it takes to handle an Aries boss. That is unusual patience, diplomacy, broadmindedness, tact, a sense of humor and endurance, espe cially a sense of humdV and en durance. Or, so say the star gazers. Thievery Who was the meanest . thief you ever heard of? Arrested in Chicago was a man who- con fessed he had made a living for 48 years robbing church poor boxes. Said he averaged $20 a day. In the Bronx a man was ar rested for stealing candy from a baby. He had snatched a lemon stick from the hand of a kiddie. However, the tops in mean croks probably was the man in St. Louis who was arrested for robbing the cup of a blind man. Test Take a good look at the fol lowing sentence: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." That sentence includes all the letters of the alphabet but one. If you can't discover which letter is missing in 30 seconds or less, cease calling yourself an observant person. Asides Statistics indicate the most in telligent people are producing only one-third of the number of children born to those who are less intelligent. Intelligence is hereditary. So is the lack of it. . . . There are more Roman Cath olic priests in this country nam ed Murphy than any other name. The Sullivans are second. After that come the Kellys, Walshes and O'Briens. Briefly Only 15 per cent of parents in the United States have three children or more. So, if you and your charming matrimonial mate have more than three youngsters, you are unusual par ents. Take a bow. One of the most interesting books on the subject of eye exercises is "The Art of Seeing," by Aldous Hux ley. Please Note Why has nature arranged to have the most objectionable ani mals reproduce so rapidly? For example, take mice. Research in dicates that if a pair of mice en ter a home and escape destruc tion for a year, there will be 400 mice in the house. These 400 mice could reproduce so rapid ly that at the second year there could be 50.000 mice. No doubt Elbert Hubbard really had something when he observed, "If a man build a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door." Poultry Calories Said Less Than Other Meats Fargo. N.D. (U.R) If you're a calorie-counter, don't resign ourself to green salads and toast, said North Dakota Agricul tural College poultry extension agent Iriving Mark. Instead,, pass your plate for turkey and chicken the ideal meats for people who have to watch their waistline." Mork pointed to recently re leased information on the total edible portion of various raw meats. Turkey contains 207 cal ories per 100 grams; chickens 129 calories for every 100 grams. The percentage of fat in poul try is much lower than in other meats, he said. mmmmmmimmmmmammmmmmmg-rr " " f I UNPERTURBED The often-caricatured face of John L. Lewis, president, of the United Mine Workers of America, stands out in bold relief as he is photographed aboard the liner United States in New York. Lewis' face dis played no emotion as the vessel docked herself without the aid of tugboats due to a New York tugboat strike. It was the first time that ihe liner, third largest in the world, docked unassisted in the complicated maneuver. 2 Old Squaws, Spending Winter in State, Population Count Reveals Portland (U.R) There are two Old Squaws, 27 Redheads and more than a thousand Buf faloheads spending the winter in Oregon this year. Besides that there are 3,979 whistlers compared to only 17 trumpeters and then some of the 1,493 Cacklers might have been' uninspired whistlers. That information on the state's winter population comes from the State Game Commission which has completed an inven tory of birds wintering in Ore gon this year. And the feathery population apparently didn't get the word on the expected weath er when it established residence. The commission says 711,800 waterfowl were counted this year compared to 485,500 last year. A Lot of Color The winter population con tained a lot of color. For in stance there are 116 Ringnecks, 2358 Goldeneyes, 687 White fronts and a single Blue goose. That one Blue goose has the commission wondering. Normal ly the species is found in the Mississippi flyway and winters along the coast of Louisiana. The Blue goose seldom stops on its southerly flight in the fall. Very rarely is it found east of the (1) "'fcluJLy (4) "biua irVE BETTER 4f3 iJ? a "3 . JITJ . tiff I I - : 27 Redheads Mississippi belt and its appear ance is even scarcer west of the great plains. Said the commis sion: "What possessed this lone bird to wander far from its course and wind up in Oregon will probably remain an unsolved mystery." Duck Number Boosted Primary boost in the winter waterfowl inventory was in the number of ducks and more spe cifically in the population of mallards where figures rose from around 150,000 a year ago to 373,000 this year. Most of the increase was noted along the Columbia river from The Dalles eastward. Altogether the game commis sion counted 616,029 ducks, 66, 734 geese, 23,559 coot, 3996 swan and 1493 black brant for a total waterfowl population of 711,811.
