WHERp DO THEY GET IT?
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?”
