Brother in Fnr Away
New Guinelu
Ererljmne Kyier, who for ten yean
was known to the fair sex of Camden
for her skill as a coamotologist in the
Camden Beauty shop and now a priv
ate in the WAC and stationed in New
Cuinea. met her brother, Clarence,
whom she had not seen for over a
year and a half, recently when he had
pccasion to come to the headquarters
of the Far E^t Service comnund.
Clarence Kyaer 1« a staff shrgeant
and also personnel clerk with the fam
ous Jolly Rogers bomb group station-
i>d in the N^erlands Bast Indies
about 300 miles from where his sister
is located.
^ added Sooth Carolina atmos
phere^ noted, when it is known that
the Chief of the Staff Section under
which Private Eveiiynne works is
Major Samuel B. Mitchell, Jr., of-
Sumter.
Both E^rerlyDne and Clarence are
graduates of the Columbia, S. C., High
•cbool. Bverlynne graduated in 1132
and Clarence in 1934. The career of
the sister followed that of her brother
by about a year and a half. She en
tered the service in January, 1943, and
he in May, 1941. Clarence arriv^ in
the South Pacific in July, 1941, and
Bverljmne in October, 1944.
Bverlynne made her home in Cam
den for ten years prior to entering
the WAC. She lias seen duty at Port
Oglethorpe, Ga., Alpine, Texas, Kirk
land Field at Albuquerque, N. M.
Thence she went to the W'AC st’ighig
area and port of embarkation and to
Guinea
Bverlynna!s. assignment is a fair cry
from her civilian occupation. She is
assisting in writing of the history of
the vast Far Ehmt Air Service com
mand. This organization has one of
the greatest logutlcal problems of any
of the air service commands in the
world. The nearest port to which sup
plies can be sent from the United
States is more than <„000 miles from
San Francisco. The supply lines of
the Theater are 4,000 miles long and
2.000 miles wide. Over these dist
ances supplies must be moved by air
or water.

Pulpwood Needs
Statements by J^es P. Byrnes, di
rector of the Office of War Mobiliza
tion and Reconversion, contained in
hla first report to President Roosevelt
and (Tongreas, highlight the urgent
need for additional manpower for the
pulpwood industry, the Kershaw Vic
tory Pulpwood Committee said today.
“Mr. Elymes adviaed that ‘today the
need for labor in war Industries is
Ued te ilhweUy ^ith battlefield ret
qutrement’
“This statement Is emphasised
every second that a shell is fired
against the Germans and Japs. For 80
percent of the powder that fires these
sbelte is atodoof ytilpwoodrAad shells
sent overseas are shipped in contain
ers made of pulpwood. The fact that
record barrages are being hurled by
our armies on the western front in
Europe requires record production at
home and this requirement simply is
not being met
“It is not being met because recruit
ment of manpower haa not kept pace
cause production of farm woodlot
pulpwood has fallen down.
“Yef we know that production must
increaM. .Our mlliiary leaders have
reiterated the urgent need for war
materials made of pulpwood lest lag
ging production cost us lives of our
fighting men and postpone the day of
victory.
“This has been said before, but it
must be said over and over again un
til ‘battlefield requirements' are met
—and that means until the day of
Victory: Everyone who can cut or
haul pulpwood or work in a mill, Sven
part-time, must do so, and farm pulp
wood production must be increased.
Where pulpwood production is lag
there is record production, continued
effort must set new records.
“For this is what the Director of
War Mobilization meant in advising
that ‘labor in war industries is tied
in directly with battlefield require
ment* “
