FURS REPAIRED, REGLAZED, CLEANED, RESTYLED THIS Y HAS A SPECIAL T HIS COMMUNITY is on the spot! We are in a pulpwood growing section and there is now a pulp- wood shortage. The country needs vast quantities of pulpwood for explosives, rayon parachutes, gas mask filters, shipping containers and a thousand other uses — yet some of the mills that make these things are actually shutting down for lack of wood. This is a desperate situation— a war emergency. Something must be done QUICKLY! And only we who live in the pulpwood cutting areas can do anything about it. This is OUR responsibility. How the problem can be solved Mr. Donald M. Nelson, Chairman of the War Production Board, gave the key to the solution in the following statement: “If every one of the more than 3,800,000 farmers in the 27 pulpwood producing states were to devote 3 EXTRA days in 1943to cutting pulpwood, we could overcome the threatened 2,500,000 cord shortage with wood to spare.’* ★ ★ ★ ★ Will you enlist for 3 extra days? If you are now cutting pulpwood part time; if you have cut it in the past; or if you have never cut it t, but know how to use an axe and saw, will you pledge 3 EXTRA days (at regular pay) to meet Mr. Nelson’s challenge?

They’re doing a swell job for their readers and for the war j effort. That’s why we are featur-! ing the newspapers of this State, J Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.—A man must eat whether he wears an Army uniform or civilian clothes and there is 'little difference be tween storing the reserve supply of food in a civilian warehouse or sin Army depot. That was the observation of Colonel William F. Riter, Chief of the Quartermaster Branch, Fourth Service Command in commenting on the fact that to fight a war there must be heavy concentra tion of food and other supplies in certain areas to insure that there will be no break or stoppage in the soldiers’ supplies while they are in training or in the combat areas. “In the southeast, as an e::- ample,” said ( Colonel Riter, “there are many thousands of troops in training. They must be fed clothed, equipped and housed. Therefore, large quantities of sup plies are assembled in Army de pots spotted at convenient points over the seven southeastern states. This may leave the impression with some that the Army is piling up a larger surplus than re quirements justify. For our troops within this country, a 90-day sup ply is required for each man to assure the necessary uninterrupt ed flow of food to every soldier.” Colonel Riter quoted Depart ment of Agriculture figures show ing that civilians, in the 1935-39 period, consumed a little more than 16 1-2 pounds of butter an nually per capita. These figures reveal that they will be able to buy somewhat more than 12 1-2 pounds of butter per capita this year after all Army needs are met and lend-lease and other Government agencies fill their re quirements. “This means,” said Colonel Riter, “that if the Army used no butter at all and turned its en tire requirements over to civilian use, each person in this country FOR REAL BARGAINS IN MEMORIAL WORK \ write ELBERTON CITY GRANITE CO.

C. would have one half an ounce more butter per week than the present supply permits.” Still quoting Department of Ag riculture figures, Colonel Riter stated that the same situation ap plies with respect to milk and eggs. After all government re quirements are met, civilians will have slightly more eggs in 1943 than they consumed on the aver age in the 1935-39 period ad will have considerably more fluid milk this year than then and a- bout the same amount of car. * c! milk, according to the figure;' With respect to coffee, Co * 1 Riter declared that the am:u :fc consumed in the Army has t an curtailed to the same extent ;;s for civilians.
