C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1943 Number 10 SaTvage Tin Cans Arid Help War Effort Dear Housewives: The home front offers you one of the greatest opportunities to serve the war effort, the salvage of common tin cans. When the Japs took over Singapore and the Dutch Indies, America lost 90% of its tin supply. The war simply can’t go on without this vital metal, and your kicthen is the only source of supply left the United States. This vital metal is indispensable in • the production of airplane motors, guns, hand grenades, torpedoes, warships, sub marines and any other number of war goods. It also saves lives. Take for instance the Syrette, a tiny tube that resembles a small tooth paste tube. A simple twist of the finger of the wounded soldier exposes a sterilized hollow needle. He inserts the needle near the wound and squeezes the little pouch of morphine. A marine private lay bleeding in the steaming jungle of Guadal canal, alone and in pain and far from the care of a medical unit. The tin from two cans saved him from dying from shock before help came. There is real need for this metal find we are sure all want a part in this sal vage campaign. First: wash the label off the car., cut out both epds, put the ends in the can, and then put it on the floor and mash it by stepping on it. Second: the city truck will pass by your home the second Friday in each month to pick up the cans. Please put them in front of your house near the curb in a small box or paper sack. This will greatly help in this work. Please mark on your calendar the second Friday in each month as “TIN CAN DAY â€. This work is being done by the local salvage committee and is sponsored by’ the McCormick Lions Club.

Chief Petty Officer John J. White, in this country on leave after service with the sea frontier froces of the navy in North Af rica, has been spending a short furlough with his wife at Liberty Homes. While here he paid his respects to Colonel Rogers Taylor, ommanding officer at the Hharleston army ordnance depot, with whom he served as civilian juard prior to his re-enlistment n the navy in August, 1942. Chief White took part in the invasion cf French Morocco on November 8, 1942. He was severe- y wounded on New Year's night of this year during an air raid when a four-motored German bomber crashed with a full bomb bay near his fox hole. The bomber had been shot down by Chief White’s own naval battery. “The concussion from the ex ploding bombs,’’ said Chief White in relating some of his experience to a group of production plant employees, “buried me under more than three feet of Africa sand.†He said that only prompt aid saved his life on this occasion. Chief Petty Officer White closed his remarks to the loading plant employees with the following plea: “Make the ammuntion; get it to the navy, and the navy will get it to boys on the fighting fronts.†Mrs. White is employed at the Charleston navy yard in a secre tarial capacity.

The new cannery located in the building used as the com modity warehouse is ready to operate. Look for a formal an nouncement of the opening. The cotton crop is spotted but most old cotton still shows prom ise of a good crop. Corn has made much progress, in fact, we have very good corn in general all over the county. I am in Rock Hill this week attending Extension Conference but will be back in the oHice Saturday. I toill attempt to make any urgent call that might be left in the office during the week. Mrs. Hitt will assist you in any way possible. Garden work should continue, ^ as there is no lay-by time in gardening. * A- < All those who failed to fin out a performance report for AAA should do so at once. Mr. Edwin Parker has just fin ished putting up IflOO cans of vegetables for his family and his' hands. They all can together in the yard of Mr. Parker, who has a cannery out in his grove. Mr. R. M. Pettigrew has a yel low corn that grows a low stalk and two ears to the stalk. I have a stalk in my office—come by and see it. This com Is being watched by the farmers in that section. “A green acre†where all hands have an interest in a turnip and pollard' patch is a; good- piece' oft cooperation for a landlord to span-' sor. ation of $1,000,000 voted by the 'ast session of Congress, according ^ â€â€ u â€u~ Yeet'"'lo"per"‘cent zation have been assigned to Die new activity. In nine of the e- leven States, in the Southern Re gion, the National Forest Super visors have been placed in charge of the new program as Area Foresters. From four to Jif teen field men will be stationed in each State in the Region, de pending on the need for their services in each area. Urgent need of increasing U. S. lumber production during the remainder of 1943 is indicated by figures which show that con sumption during the first quaretr 3f the year was 7,369 million feet, exceeding production by 18 per cent. Estimated consumption for the second quarter of 1943 is Joseph C. Kircher, Regiona Forester. This activity, which is bein undertaken at the request of th' War Production Board, will b conducted in the Southern Regkr under the supervision of Assis tant Regional Forester Arnold C Shaw. Allocation of these funds wR provide for increasing the scop cf assistance renderered land- owners and mill operators in se ective cutting methods and ir making available stumpage suit able for war needs. The expander program will supplement work of this type already being done in cooperation with State forestry departments and Extension Ser vices. In addition, the new pro gram will provide assistance to mills in solving problems of e- quipment, transportation and la bor shortages which interfere with maximum production.

Mill stocks of lumber <m March 31, 1943, reached a new low of 3,777 million feet, or 15 per cent below those at the end of 1942, and 40 per cent below those of March 31, 1942. A substantial increase in lumber production during the remainder of 1943 is seen as necessary if critical war and essential civilian needs are to be met. The South is expected to pro duce about 50 per cent of the Nation’s timber this year; indica tion of the important position the Region is expected to occupy In attaining the needed increase is presented by the fact that SB per cent of the recent $1,000,009 appropriation has been allocated to the Region.
