But in place of guns and grenades, its weapons are the woods- man’s axe and saw. These men are a t 1 part of the productive Home Front which : General Eisenhower said is necessary t to defeat the Nazis in 1944. But more volun- , teers—at prevailing ' pay scales —are needed. There is plenty of pulpwood around here, pulp- wood going uncut < while military needs Do You Know? Over Va of afl pulpwood is used in packaging farm products. The packing and distribution of foods may be seriously upset this year by a shortage of paper and boxes made from pulpwood. muddlinsr There are few peopl3 who thinl* L. Corley and Mrs. Y. E. Seigler, our final victory over Germany and Japan is going to end wa r for all time or for even a ver: long time. In making that statement I d not refer to the opinions of gov ernment leaders or of rnilitar leaders, but to the opinions o John and Mary Smith of Mar Street, U.-S. A. When we were in the middh of the last war and heard talk a bout that being “the war to end war” a lot of us thought tha might be the case. And there ar millions of people today who hop and pray, that permanent peac will somehow follow the presen struggle—but I have found few people who are optimistic enough to really believe it. It isn’t that they feel the pres ent war is doing no good. They realize that it was definitely nec essary for us to go to war to pre- i vent the Germans and the Jap. c j from over-running the world. But deep in their hearts they realize that someone—they don’t know who—was very much to blame for permitting Germany to build up the war machine it did, and for not nipping the Japanese con quest plans in the bud. And so far they have little faith that when peace finally comes there will not be a lot of new interna tional muddling which will plant the seeds for new wars in the fu ture. BIBLE rule It has always been my opinion that so long as individuals fight with one another, and so long as there are feuds and jealousies be tween small groups of people there will always be the type of bitterness between nations which leads to war. The only thing which can drive war from the face of the earth is the simple honesty and fair ness among all people which is summed up in the Biblical rule “Do unto others as thou woulds' have them do unto you.” If the world could live by that rule there would never be any more wars. But the world can’t— and when this war is over and Among men who live in work clothes all day long, this label for pulpwood products mount. The shortage is in manpower to cut it. How can you help? Cutting pulpwood can be a part-time or full-time job. Perhaps you can do your part in your own woodlot. Perhaps you can cut on shares in a neighbor’s woods. If you have the time but no wood, get in touch with this mill and we will try to team you up with someone who has j wood and no way to cut it. UNION MADE OVERALLS and other WORK GARMENTS J. J. COLLIER PLUM BRANCH, S. C. would take advantage of their fel low men if they weren’t watched, ; it is also essential that the gang*- ster nations be kept under con stant surveillance. We can’t hope to imprison all of the Germans and Japs who share the responsibility for this war, but we can treat those na tions as virtual prison camps un til we are assured that they are again able to mingle with the society of nations without being tempted to return to their gang ster way of life. In both coun tries it is apt to involve at least a 20-year sentence—a long e- nough term for a new generation to grow up which Is educated to recognize its social responsibility. X Appeals For Workers For U. S. Civil Service Commission rule for peace and happiness, ex pressed in the simplest terms, and preached to people for thousands of years, has not been mastered. But on all sides of us—in our honfes, in our politics, in our business and in our social con tacts—we are constantly aware of the fact that there are those all about us who insist, instead, upon living according to the selfish the ory of “Do others before they do you.” And that warped interpretation of right living is even more ap parent in the relationship be tween nations than between in dividuals. FORCE police Our only hope of enforcing the “do unto others . . .” rule fol lowing this war is to enforce it with a club. It isnt’ the kind of a rule which appears to call for such tactics. When we read a- bout it in the Bible we feel that 'it should be enforced by the con science of mankind. That may be the answer when man has developed to a more WEST VIRGINIA PULP & PAPER CO.

A- vailable housing facilities are as sured in Washington, and there are excellent chances for ad vancement. > Many advantages are s available to the Civil Service employees. A- mong these are the following: e- mergency financial and medical service; sick and annual leave with pay; additional training at government expense. In addition, innumerable social and education al advantages are to be had with in the capitol area. Workers now employed at their highest skill in essential industry should not apply. ' — DR.
