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?
Fill in the coupon. Mail it to this newspaper and
you will receive the pledge badge which identifies
you as a Victory Pulpwood Cutter. _/
This is a war emergency.

Newspapers Of The
State Praised In
Latest Greyhound
Bus Advertisemep's,
For years the newspaper^ ^f
this State have been printin'* *' 1-
vertisements telling reader' i- 1
bout Greyhound bus service is
month the tables are turner' c Dr
current Greyhound ads are t ' ig
readers about the public s * ice
offered by this and other news
papers.
Mr. H. Peirce Brawner, Gr' ral
Traffic Manager of the Atl' itic
Greyhound Lines, in disci; ing
the present series of bus adver
tisements, said, “The newspapers
of this State have earned every
bit of commendation we can give
them. 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

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. Figures disclose
that soldiers arc drinking only
slightly more than the average
adult American consumed in 194
The Army’s requirements of co
fee for 1943 are 268,000,000 pound
which is about 15 per cent of tl
total estimated available domest
supply.
“Because our coffee supply
subject to the hazards of wartin
shipping substantial reserves ha^
been acquired so that there \vi
not be any interruption to the co
fee supplies of our soldiers ovc:
seas and those training in cor
tinenta! United States,” the colon
declared.
