S. Army this after noon, ^Thursday, Jan. 14.) Cal lison. who prefers the Army to the Marines, where he was a member of the reserves and commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in 1933, chooses the army because it offers him a more specialized training course, j, Born in Callison, S. C., he at tended high school in the nearby town of McCormick, received his A. B. degree at the University of South Carolina, and did his grad uate work there and at Duke Uni versity. An outstanding student in high school, Callison was president of his class for three successive years and Valedictorian when he grad uated. He joined the Marines was stationed at Quantico, Va., and received training in the tac tics of which that particular branch of the service is so famous. While there, he served as platoon leader and was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant. Before coming to Marietta, Cal lison taught in the high school of Edgefield, S. C., for two years; 1936-’38. In the summer of 1941, three years after his arrival here, he was married to Miss Frances Roane of Atlanta, who is also a teacher in the local system and will remain here as Biology in structor for Marietta high. Callison, a tennis and badminton fan who plays not a bad game of golf has as his dual hobbies wire- 1 less radio and raising flowers. I Belief About Youth of Today His belief concerning the youth of today and their chances as leaders of the world of tomorrow is encouraging. He says: "Before World War II, we were living in the greatest age the civilized world has ever known. It is my belief that our boys and girls compare i favorably with any past genera tion, contrary to the attitude of many people. And after the war, I sincerely trust that these future leaders of America will build a greater civilization than has ever before existed on this earth.” He expresses his hope of coming back to Marietta as soon as possi- sible and again taking his place on the Marietta high school fac ulty. With him, not only from Marietta high school but the en tire city, go the best wishes for luck and success. | X Yellow Poplar Sought For Aircraft Production Incidental to the historic conference in North Africa by Allied leaders was this luncheon in Casablanca, army style.

Up to the present time the only species that have been used were Sitka Spruce and Douglas fir, which are found on the west coast. However, recent tests have shown that the yellow poplar that is native to our mountain, Piedmont, and coastal areas is just as desirable, and ful ly as accceptable. In commenting on this situa tion, Mr. W. C. Hammerle, State Forester, urges that any landown ers or farmers who have any mer chantable yellow poplar notify the State Forest Service or the War Production Board offices in At lanta of the approximate amount available as well as its location. The demand for suitable lumber has created a price that is much higher than has previously been offered, and this price should be enough to induce any timber owners to sell their yellow pop lar. The building of transport and cargo planes has been much in the limelight of recent news dis patches. The supply of metals that were formerly considered suitable for plane contruction was not sufficent to permit the build ing of supply planes. However, developments in the use of ply wood and glue have made possi ble plane construction on a quali ty and quantity basis that bids NOTICE OF SALE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
