Friday, AprU 20, 194S A GREAT MAN PASSES One of he ‘truly great men of American history sleeps in a Hudson river valley today. The greatest man of the **blg three” of the global war has become one of the members of America's “big three,” Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. Every American—real American, mourns the passing of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Some of us may not have agreed with his political philosophy but we all loved the man, clean-living, honest, lovable and dedicated to the bet terment of the common man. Franklin p. Roosevelt died as he lived, a soldier. He was just as much a war casualty as that boy who gasped his last on the ahore of I wo Jima. It is to be regretted that he had to be mustered out just at a time when the war armies, the navy, the aviators, all of his making, were ringing down the curtain on the greatest war in all history—with victory assured, with world peace promised for the fuflire. May his soul rest in peace. With meat point values verging on the fantastic, a thought on opening the 8andwhich_is“Man cannot live by bread alone.” REMOVE THE HAZARDS That several pupils, or the drivers of the .school b'u<^ commercial vehicle figuring in the collision at a'bend in the highway at Laurens court last Tuesday, were not injured, was due to the fact that both vehicles were moving slowly in negotiating the curve. The action of Supt. J. G. Richards in ordering the high shrubbery that obscures vision at ^s curve removed is com mendable and can be followed with excellent results in many other localities in Camden. There are many instances of blind comers in evidence throughout the city and action should be taken immediately to eliminate them before there is any serious crashes with resultant injury and threat of death to human lives. The majority of these hazards are caused by shrubbery being permitted to grow between curb and sidewalk near street intersections. The Chronicle cobid mention several in stances of a glaring nature. Whoever has charge of the streets should make it a point to check every road in the city and locate these dangerous corners;» Then have the trees or shrubs removed. ! I_ ^ The busy OPA has removed the (feiling on bird cages. But who wants to chase ail over an eight-room house after the canary? fc ±it LOGISTICS DEPENDS ON PULPWOOD When our generals and admirals sit down together to work out a campaign or plan a battle, they must figure out the exact, amount of bullets, guns, tanks, k-rations, parachuteij, blood plasma and literally thousands of other things' they will need for the operation. Then they must call in the chiefs of supply to find out whether they can have the mountain of things they require, postponing or cancelling their battle plans if the supply chie^ say, “No.” This vital part of the planning is called Logistics. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, head of the Pacific fleet, calls it, “The Navy’s greatest secret weapon.” Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of the whole Navy, goes a little Hollywood and calls it “Colossal.” Navy Secretary James Forrestal says: “We couldn’t win the Pacific war without it.” And here’s where we come in! The admirals and the generals look to the Logistic Plans division. The logistic Plans chiefs look to the pulpwood cutters. Without an ade quate supply of the right kind of pulpwood the war would drag on for years with victory doubtful in the* end. With pulpwood of good quality our fighting men are assured gunpowder, parachutes, camouflage nets, plasma containers and hundreds of other vital military necessities to win their battle speedily. Pulpwood workers are really the men behind tihe men who plan our battles. Only by cutting moi^ quality pulp wood NOW can we win these battles and shorten the war. Something about the Crimea is conducive to brave stands by the outnumbered: The gallant Six Hundred against the Cossack horde; Bernard Shaw versus the Yalta decisions. ANNOUNCING the ...
