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

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.

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.

port to illustrate how the prisoners
hare relieved the labor shortage in
three categories of employment dur

the money vaue of their work to the
