INFUSION OF FAITH
By Edward L Van Dyke
H ANGING up the telephone.
Nelson King settled down
heavily in a kitchen chair to pon
der over what he just had done.
He hadn’t Intended to summon
young Don Baldwin. Instead he’d
planned to visit his neighbor, tell
him he thought it best that he,
Don, did not see his daughter any
more.
The Bible beside him, however,
had turned his hasty fatherly de
cision aside.
Comfortable in the chair. Nel
son King listened to the steady
roar of the^ nearby creek. Then,
taNriM T-fTtlr vfcat he had to
- f ^ " *
ceo, no rcrrx xnc ntmcrc.
Poor Janet—what a crisis to
her life the flood had brought!
Did she believe Don a coward—
or had but one freak and uncon
trollable fear in the man been
unearthed?
Before her very eyes, Don Bald
win had. indeed, presented a pa
thetic figure that morning.
Three men had been nearby
when the little Gleason child had
fallen into the rain-swollen stream
—Sam Gleason, the father. Don
and Mr. King himself.
Into the cold reddish water the
alight form had disappeared, to
bob up again and drift with the
swift current.
Desperately the men had raced
along the bank.
Hearing the shouting, Janet had
hurried from the house. With
mixed dread and pride she had
seen Don Baldwin move out on
the swaying trunk of a tree, fall
en into the stream.
The child was drifting near and
Don had but to reach forth a hand
to grasp the sodden form.
Cringing, he had turned and
Aung his arms about the reassur
ing body of the tree.
Past his abject form Gleason
had plunged to make the rescue.
Later in the day. Nelson King
had gone to The Book for comfort.
“Judge not and ye shall not be
judged; condemn not and ye shall
not be condemned.” he had read
The telephone call had followed.
He was in his little farmhouse
office that night when the young
man arrived. Tall, erect and clean
looking, Don looked almost defiant
as he shook hands with the older
man.
Nelson King saw his daughter
then, hovering uncertainly in the
kitchen. And in her eyes her fa
ther could see the same strange
defiance.
“Janet,” he asked, "will you do
something for me? Go to the poul
try house and get that account
book of mine. Take a flashlight—
the power is stiff off. you know.
No, sit still, Don—it’s only a step
or two to the rear of the house.”
The girl had been gone but a
short time when the men heard
first the deep-throated roar of a
farm animal—then a cry from
Janet.
“Good heavens!” cried Nelson
King—” the bull must be loose!”
Mr. King saw * Baldwin racing
toward the sound of Janet’s voice.
The bull roared menacingly, yet
Don did not slacken his speed, un
armed though he was
The voice of the middle-aged
farmer, strangely calm, roared a
command
“Don—you and Janet get back
here at once! I’ve the dog and a
club—we’ll take care of the bull.
Take Janet into the house!”
The older man waited until they
were gone, then the rays of his
flashlight played on the dark form
of the pawing bull All was well.
The two short and powerful ropes
by which the bull was confined to
a huge tree had held, as he knew
they would.
On the damp ground Nelson
King sank gratefully to his knees.
The words he spoke were ad
dressed to the faithful farm dog.
but he hoped that God, too. was
listening.
“Rex.” said he, “it was a risk I
had to take. But it worked—and
you and I have reopened the door
of faith for two fine young people.
Now there is no distrust—no fear
of fear itself.”

cars for transportation to the North Charleston Mill of the West Virginia Pulp and
Paper Co. Trucks bringing pulp to the yard are unloaded in one lift in a very few
minutes. Before installation of the Hyster lifting device, it took two men about 30
minutes to unload a truck. (Sunphoto by Frank Armfield.)

SEW AND SAVE
A new streamlined woodyard de
signed to bring substantial sav
ings in time and money to farmers
and timberland owners of New-
Iberry county and surrounding
areas has been established in the
county by the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company.
The woodyard, located one and
one-half miles south of Prosperity
across the road from Nichols'
Store, has been leased to H. M.
Hentz and Son and will be ope
rated by them. Lyon Fellers, form
er president of the Newberry
County Farm Bureau is manager
of the yard.
The new yard will give New
berry county its first really con
venient home market for pulp-
wood. This yard, like a number of
others throughout the state will
ship pulpwood to the North Char
leston plant of the West Virginia
company.
The installation, covering ap
proximately three acres, has been
equipped with the latest measur
ing and wood handling devices and
equipment. Space on the yard has
been provided to stock-pile 2,000
to. 2,500 cords of wood. A railroad
spur of the Southern has been
placed on the premises and 10
cars may be loaded without dif
ficulty.
Scaling is done near the en
trance to the yard. A building has
been erected for this purpose.
When a truckload of pulpwood is
brought to the yard, an experi
enced scaler takes the measure
ments and figures the amount due
the owner for his wood. The truck
is driven from the scaling house
onto the yard. Here a giant Hyster
crane picks up the whole load in
one lift and after the Joad is band
ed with steel bands and marked,
it is neatly stacked for storage
and later to be transferred to
rail cars for transportation to the
mill.
H. M. Hentz said last week that
the yard is not in full operation
yet, but would soon be. The yard
is open each Monday through Fri
day. He said provisions have also
been made to pay for pulpwood on
the spot if desired, otherwise set
tlement would be made each week
end for claims.
In addition to the establishment
of the woodyard in the county
West Virginia Pulp and Paper
company offers free forestry ad
vice and marketing service.
For a number of years the
company has made pine seedlings
available. The next season they
will make 3,000,000 available to
various organizations. They will
be distributed locally through the
new pulp yard. Of the 3,000,000,
two million will go to farmers and
one-half million to 4-H boys and
girls through county agents.
Another one-half million will be
shared by Future Farmers of
America and NFA ? members
through the Vocational Agricul
ture department of the state De
partment of Education.
An official of West Virginia
stated that at present the company
is paying $9,000,000 per year for
pulpwood. Mr. Hentz said he ex
pects to buy $280,000 worth of
pulp at the local yard during the
next 12 months.
Mr. Hentz is not new to the
pulpwood business by any means.
He has been an agent for West
Virginia Pulp and Paper company
since the mill was established in
Charleston in 1937.
