CAN YOU MATCH THIS?
.1
Can you match this? . .
If you think buying a few small War Bonds m a “pa
triotic gesture*’ and for the benefit of the “front office,** only
to cash them 60 days after purchase, is good business for
your country and yourself, you’ve made a sorry judgment.
Listen to this. Major Lester J. ^ase went to the
Philippines as an instructor to the Plhilippine Army. That
in itself was a degree of sacrifice in spite of the pretty pam
phlets put out'by the tourist agencies.
He stayed on when the war came, as a swamp and moun
tain guerilla, li^nng from hour to hour just a jump ahead of
the Japs. He subsisted on little food ,and of poor quality,
miles from home, friends.
When the islands were recaptured he came out and was
paid $12,020.49 in back pay. He put the whole thing in War
Bonds, even to the 49 cents via War Saving Stamps.
Major Chase could have made up for “lost time’* with
that sort of money. But he elected otherwise. You see, he
had seen Jap atrocities. Those of us at home will dig deeper
and buy more and bigger War Bonds in the Mighty Seventh
War Loan. Set your quota, then make it.
PAPER TERROR
Tokyo is a smouldering wasteland. The palace of the
Japanese EJmperor is reported razed to the ground. Great
industrial cities like Nagoya, Yokohama and Kobe are being
flattened by American bombers with their loads of block
busters and incendiary bombs.
Yet it is paper—plain, ordinary paper made from pulp-
wood—^that is striking deepest terror in the hearts of the
Japanese warlords.
In a hoifle-service broadcast, addressed to the Japanese
people and picked up by our Office of Wjar Information,
Japanese Procurator General Nakano was heard to say :
“The enemy has recently been dropping in earnest on
various areas, bombs and leaflets which can be called paper
bombs. The leaflets are all aimed at causing anti-war
thoughts and antagonism among the military, governmental
and civilian people.
“People w<ho pick these up will please hand them in im
mediately to the nearest police station,** the broadcast went
on. “It is necessary that every individual make himself fight
against them with strong nerves.** ^
Only a great fear could have prompted such a broadcast.
It is fear bom of truth, and the realization that the truths
expressed in those leaflets could' break the chains that bind
the ignorant Japanese people to slavery.
Paper, of course, is used in the manufacture of block
busters and incendiary bombs, just as it has more than 700,-
000 additional essential war uses. But it is in its historic ca
pacity-, as a medium of carrying truth and enlightenment, that
paper is being used to destroy the foundations upon which
the Japanese war-mongering has been built.
And so, pulpwood products are performing a multiple
mission in this war. Pulpwood is providing the paper with
which to wrap, pack and tag the supplies sent to our fighting
forces. Pulpwc^ is furnishing the smokeless powder with
which Japan’s great cities are being smashed. And pulpwood
is providing the “paper bombs’* which are destroying Jap
anese militarism from within. ^
Your top quality uulpwood is'speeding the day of Ja
pan’s downfall.
A statistic now circulating has the typical American miss
buying 3.6 hats a year. And what’s cuter, at this season,
than a decimal point with a flower or two attached?
The Guam chapter of Rotary International resumes its
luncheons, and what we are wondering is whether the K-
ration includes an emergency chicken croquette.

Robert Cole Has

A Million Miles

den Rim”
A million miles of motor travel be
tween Columbia and McBee, s round
trip total of 11(7 miles over a period of
18 years, using 11 Ford vshlclea, one
of which, a station wagon, listed 200,-
OOO 'mflea without s repair Job la the
r-word of Robert B. Cole, driver of a
newspaper truck of the Columbia
Record, an afternoon paper.
Cole leaves the Record plant in
Columbia at 11 a. m., six mornings a
week. His route with delivery of
papers at every cross-roads store or
post office, hamlet, village and town,
extends to McBee, a distance of ap
proximately'70 to 80 miles. Cole keeps
an accurate record of hts mileage and
bps averaged 1,000 miles a week for
16 years. That is 52,000 miles a year
or well over 800,000 in 16 years. In
the present year of 1945, Cole has
already piled up some 25,000 miles
which brings his total to date to ex-
actly 857,000 miles.
In the 16 years he has been on
this Camden run. Cole has used 12
vehicle 8,_ all Fords. ‘‘The best one
I had was a 1941 Ford station wagon
and I drove it 200,000 with no re
pairs to the motor and I scarcely used
any oil,” he said.
Bob has been on tjie paper run of
the Record for 27 years but his Cam
den acquaintance extends over the. 16
year period. He is as punctual as a
fine Swiss watch. The officer the
police booth, newspaper correspond
ents in this mid-south resort city and
scores of citizens all set their watches
by Bob“;''-for his' truck pokes It nose
to the city square as Big Ben In the
city hall tower booms out the noon
hour.
Bob Cole has the patience of Job.
Ordinarily a Job such as he has would
drive the average man crazy—because
of the monotony. Buf not Cole. He
never sulks—no one ever saw him but
that be had a grin—one of those ear-
to-ear affairs.
Cole livee in Columbia, on Tale
avenue, to be exact, and every even
ing he returns to his wife and three
kiddies.

Lynches River Soli Conservation dis
trict has almbst completed putting
his farm plan in effect. Mr. Mc

structed and vegetated his outlets,
strip-cropped one field and has rota
tions setxip within others, plaated
Ku^xu and Serlcea for graslng pod
erosion control and has cut saw-tim
ber on a selective basis. Mr. Mc

hie meadow-strips of Serlcea and
Kudsu and he estimates he cut one-
half ton of Serlcea hay from a quart
er acre strip and one ton of Kudiu
hay from a half-acre strip which he
is feeding to his work stock. His
present plans are to seed 14 additional
acres of Serlcea next spring for gras-
ing which will provide early grazing
In the spring and also during dry
periods in the summer.
Jim Sweet of Boykin section, mowed
his pasture a few days ago. Mr.
Sweet seeded Leepedesa and Dallis

aeonitum, hardy asters, bocconia,
dictamnus, hardy phlox, thermopsif
and several others if the seed is
sown in tha spring. The reason for
this is that the seeds first require
freezing temperatures. If sown in
