Newspaper reporters who “covered” the tornado area around Greenwood Sunday were amazed and angry-~and for good reason. Thousands upon thousands of automobiles came from near and from far, burning precious rationed gas, just because of a Iprid desire to look upon the scenes of d^truction. Ambulance, police and trouble truck operations were halted by the jam of cars along the highways. From all points in the state were long streams of cars going to and from the stricken area. There was no shortage of gas in South Carolina Sunday. And these newspaper writers who journeyed to the scene in buses knew that many, many hundreds of cars with A stick ers could not operate the distance they had to»come on the allowance of fluid called for by the coupons in their books. Many are the ways in which'the unpatrio^tic motorist re sorts to increase his gas allowance. There is more sickness on family circles at remote points right now than ever before. Back in the old days our favorite grandmother died a score of times during a baseball season. Now the whole family takes sick—and of course—one is almost sure to get gas if one MUST travel to the bedside of poor Aunt Susie. PULPWOOD BAG SAVES STARVING TROOPS Every now and then there comes out of the combat zones a story of pulpwood’s role in the war that means more to most of us than a carload of statistics on the uses of pulpwood for military purposes. Such a stoiy was buried ht a recent dispatch on the heroic stand of a small band of Allied troops on Hangman's Hill, just above embattled Cassino. For nine days and nights this brave band, separated from the main Allied force, fought off Nazis while their comrades tried vainly to supply them with food, water and supplies. But strong winds blew supply parachutes into enemy territory. *cThe valianLml_diers.w£ie..iiear starvationjwMn^one day a pla^ dropped two paper-mache gasoline tanks loaded with rations directly on their camp. Inside were enough K-ration units U) give two to every three men. As a result the men survived and a few days later were evacuated. Not only were the gasoline tanks made of pulpwood, but the K-rations were packed in pulpwood-made packets. Pulpwood has gone to war, but its function often is to save lives rather than to destroy them. A Detroit gas rationing official reports a postcard in the morning mail with the anonymous and cheery greeting, “What do you no?” r % r TO^AKB YOU E y E R Y W H f B B Anmner lUndbyi lor your life iadoora and outdoori, too!
