Together they account for about two-thirds of the na- lion's borne building. * • • The building boom to All cur- rent needs for housing has result ed in some inflationary trends in large metropolitan areas where big corporations, big financial in stitutions. and big labor has cre ated artificial price levels. • a a But in the Hometowns of the U.S.A., the common sense of both buyers and independent op erators in the building industry has kept Inflation down. In fact, records show that In 1949 four out of five home* were sold la families with Incomes from 12.»00 to $5.000. * • a But these facts were obviously waved aside by the bureaucrat?, a • • They proceeded on the theory that there is only one way t«i get rid of mice in a house.

The military will take less than 10‘. of the lumber supply next year, only 5*. of the steel. • • • This is going to cause Congress men embarrassment. They voted these arbitrary powers to bu reaus without any necessity. • • • Congressmen may try to wiftle out of this by pleading, "forgive us. for we knew not what we did." But from all reports, stupidity is becoming a defense that the peo ple in the smaller cities of the country are getting very reluct ant to accept. a • a People are already starting to ask such questions as this. a a a ••Why were such powers given to men like Carl Gray of the Vet erans Administration who at one time was general superintendent of a large corporation and is now a director of a large investment syndicate, or to Ray Foley, head of the Federal Housing Adminis tration, who has been on govern ment payrolls continously since 1933.

On a shanty camp site so old that I had to shovel among grass, bush ! and popple to find even charred rem- I nants of log walls and pole roofs, I uncovered one day a well top—a plat- I form of hewn planks. The rough ■ surface was criss-crossed with ax marks. They told the story of a Michigan choreboy of the 1896s, com ing out each winter morning long before “daylight in the swamp", to ! chop away the ice from around the Real Estate I pump, and to thaw and prime it for ! the day’s needs of the camp.

We’ve come a long, long READY-TO-WEAR ' way from that kind of life into the HOSIERY day of the bull-cook technician. 1 l.VZIF.RS COSMETIC« hope we have improved matters, but ' I’m not too sure about it. Popular -- b«<*u Directory Business MASTER Before I go on with these observa tions, let me remind Hollywood movie directors and eastern magazine edi tors that the logging camp bull-cook I never is a “cook”. These wise-acres often apply “bull-cook” to the camp chef. For their information, a bit of his- tory. In the old Lake States camps there was always a “choreboy” «who rustled wood, pumped and carried I water, built fires and performed all kinds of odd j'obs. Out west the choreboy became the bull-cook. His torian Stewart Holbrook declares that the later term came from Maine, where the man who forked hay and scooped bran and corn meal into the mangers of the logging oxen—“bulls” to the lumberjacks—was called the bullcook. The trade of the bull-cook rose in importance in. the Douglas fir when spring beds, mattresses, pillows, sheets and showers became standard logging camp equipment. Long >be- I fore that time he had escaped the I childish toil of pumping and packing I water, for in al) but some gyppo I camps, pipes and spigots had replaced the pump and well. But there were more fires to light in the mornings, what with the one big bunkhouse having given way to smaller ones set on sleds or to the bunk cars of rail road camps. The good bull-cook took pride in his fire lighting. Prone to use coal oil, despite fire rules, he would move fast from shack to shack, and at the end view with pride identical curls of smoke rising from the rows of stovepipes. Then came his gjeat moment. With a monster silver- plated watch in his left hand, and an iron baton in his right, the bull cook would square off at the triangle of drill steel hanging in front of the cookhouse, and on the dot of ap pointed time, he would smite the gong a first resounding blow. Then, music. And pride, for with his guthammer the bull-cook rang the biggest and best men in camp out of bed. The glory would linger with him through his day of sweeping, chopping and pig-feeding.
