We work closely with the WPB, the Office of Defense Trans portation, the War Manpower Com mission, and other agenciee charged with aiding in prosecuting the war. We are In a poaitlon to assist farmers in getting necessary markets for wood products, to aid in obtaining machin ery and equipment and labor, and to give special assistance as ne^ed. ■ The TPWP is at the service of all woodland owners and we welcome any request for assistance in the great job which all of us share, that of win ning the war as quickly as possible. or government operations which I fear, hat rather inflation.
