Thursday, August 19,1943 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. Page Seven THE CHRONICLE ENUSTS IN NATION'S PULPWOOD CAMPAIGN The Chronicle today has joined other weekly and daily newepaper* of the nation in a campaign to aid the fovernnent to help tolve the * rious pulpwood shortage situation. It is the second time since Pearl Harbor that the nation's newspapers have been called upon to overcome a, serious war material Last fall it was the United Scrap Metal Campaign^ At that time scores of steel mills faced shutdowns for lade of vital materials. What the newspapers accomplished in that drive is history. The stf tion was saved with more than ON WEST COAST npo.000 tons of precious metal lect< lected Now it is the pulpwood campaign and it is equally serious because hun dreds of thousands of cords of the nation’s pulpwood are required for war purposes. The Victory Pulpwood Campaign was initiated by the War Production Board, with the cooperation pf otfner federal departments, war agencies and industry. It is designed to re- SOUTH CLINTON NEWS FOR THE WEEK Miss Lois Farmer visited friends and relatives in Goldville the past week-end.

Last fan the weekly and daily press, responding to the cajl of Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Pro duction Board, organized and con ducted the memorable Newspaper Scrap Metal Drive. Mr. Nelson des cribed this effort as one .“without precedent in this country” and de clared “that the remits surpassed my fondest hopes.' Of the current pulpwood campaign, Mr. Nelson said, “Once again in an emergency involving production fbr the war effort, American newspapers haye offered their assistance to. the War Production Board. This volun tary and unsolicited action represents the highest expression of practical patriotism—the kind of patriotism which, if emulated by farmfers and woodsmen in pulpwood producing areas of the United States, will solve the problem of Current and threat ening pulpwood shortages and, by its broader example, help to hasten the winning of the war. Personally, and as chairman of the War Production Board, I am happy to welcome the as sistance of the newspapers in this important campaign.” The campaign to increase the pro duction of pulpwood for the manu facture of products vitally necessary for military needs overseas and for home front wmr use, is addressed to farmers, woodland owners, forest la borers and other available workers in the three major pulpwood producidg areas of the' South, Northwest and Lake Statef, wher% manpower short ages have developed because of the withdrawal of woodsmen for service in the armed forces or other war work. • The growing seriousness of pulp wood shortages prompted Mr. Nelson to issue the following appeal to farm ers: “If every one of the more than THE NATIONAL SCENE As Washington Sees It t carried to within 15 miles of Messina, j ibringing that last enemy stronghold; within artillery range.

In addition to expecting public protest, it is also evident that the treasury would have to employ thousands of additional ac countants, during this period of man power shortage, to check reports. Although no new plan has yet been agreed upon, it is believed that a recommendation will be made to congress to make the present deduc tion 6f 20 per cent an actual tax in stead of being merely a method of forced savings for taxes.

Adoption of this plan, it is estimated would excuse 30 million people from ir«.king tax reports and would enormously reduce the work of the internal reve nue department. However, since congress probably wont be in session until after Labor day, and sihee the first tax estimate must be filled in by everyone by September 15, it is hardly possible that any change can be made in th^ law before that report is due. Oh September 15 we are all required to estimate what our income will be for the entire year of 1943, and, if that income is greater than the amount at all, indicating that the beaches north of Barcellona have been cleared of evacuating Axis forces entirely. Cape Milazzo itself was devoid of enemy troops. It appears * likely that the enemy has been able to evacuate a great many of his troops despite intense Allied air and sea attack through the straits of Messino. The wind-up of this campaign in that respect is con siderably different from the Tunisian battle, when there was no evacuation. The men of this regiment, moving down the coast in giant strides, had hoped to reach Messina yesterday or today, but the desperate rear-guard AN ANNOUNCEMENT I WISH TO ANNOUNCE TO MY FRIENDS THAT J WILL OPEN AN AUTO REPAIR GARAGE MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23 AND WILL BE PLEASED TO SERVE YOUR NEEDS.
