F. Bomber Com mand, England (By Mail)—Staff Sgt. Harold Knute Delk, 22. of Charleston, engineer and top tnrreut gunner on a Flying Fortress at this bomber station, returned from a recent mission over Nazi Europe to discover that he was< “missing in action.” An official report, listing Delk and his crew missing, had been filed when their big bomber failed to come back to base with the rest of the fonra- tlon. Plying his eleventh attack against German targets, the Charleston air man recounted bow engine trouble forced his ship to leave the format'on on return from an attack against enemy installations In southern EYance. Swinging out over water to avbid German flak and fighters, Qie crew arrived over England to find a heavy overcast. For nearly four hours, while the gas supply dwindled, and with one engine out, the Fortress circled on wide area near the home station, looking for a break in the “soup.” We were sweating plenty,*' Delk declared.., ‘-^hen a hole appeared over a landing field Just as we were get ting ready to bull out.” On the ground a check revealed a three minute supply of gas left in thb tanks. Formerly a student of the Universi ty of South Carollaa, Delk is the non of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Delk of 211 King street, (Charleston. His wife. Mrs. Lila Delk, and son, Douglas, live marketing his crops this year. "The farmers of the United States, as a group, are among the large users of lumber and fabricated wood prod ucts. Therefore they have a dlrr>ct interest and responsibility in provid ing adequate supplies of both puip wood and lumber to meet military and essential civilian requirements. The farmers' trees are, or can be, an added ^profitable crop which will help to supply materials for his main agrt- cultural harvests.” Instructions have gone from War Food Administration Marvin Jones to State Elxtension Directors and State War Boards to canvass the owners of farm woodlands in their, areas and to impr^s upon them the critical need for maximum timber harvests now. The War Food Administrator em phasized that sound forestry practices will be observed throughout the pro gram so as to preserve woodlands and to avoid wasteful cutting. County agents and foresters will be available for consultation by all farmers who wish to engage in puipwood or lumber production. James L. Madden, director of the Pulp Production Office of WPB, has ]F>itten to all puipwood consuming mills advising them of the Govern ment’s program. “The WFA program is designed to help industry meet its o4irn raw ma ter tel requirements,” Mr. Madden wrote. “We therefore strongly urge you to take full advantage of this program by cooperating closely with State and County War Boards by furnishing them with specific infor mation, prices that you will pay. and all the necessary market “ instruc tions.” War Food Administrator Jones said that every Government agency con cerned will have a part in the drive to increase puipwood and lumber pro duction. Particular cooperation, be said, is exported from the field of- fiees of the War Manpower Commls. Sion, the Office of Price Administrar tion, and local Selective Service Boards. W. L.
