Be strong and let nothing disturb our peace of mind. Let us maintain law and order, foster and perpetuate our blessings.’ f He closed with some beauti ful and appropriate poems.

HARMON, 614 Railroad Ave., Whitmire, S. C. Administrator March 4, 1969 M27-3tc Forest industry helps in salvage damaged wood An intensive and wide-spread forest industry program is un derway to make the best of the worst ice-wind damage to for ests in the history of South Car olina. “The forest industry has tak en several steps to help mini mize losses of private timber owners from the disastrous mid-February storm,” said C.H. (Cam) Niederhof, chairman of the S. C. Forest Industries Com mittee. He is wood procurement manager for Westvaco Corpor ation at Charleston. The storm dealt a 60-million dollar blow to forests in a 16- county area of central South Carolina. There was medium to heavy damage on 478,000 acres spread over seven counties: Darlington, Marlboro and Ches terfield. Damage was scattered in the other nine counties—Florence, Dillon, Marion, Aiken, Lexing ton, Richland, Barnwell, Bam berg and Allendale; but 750,000 cords were destroyed in these counties. The S. C. Commission of Fo estry estimates total damage at about 2,065,000 cords of pulp- wood and 40 million board feet of sawtimber. Total production of pulpwood is about 2.5 million cords annually. “It may be possible to sal vage about 300,000 cords in the medium damage area, 180,000 cords in the heavy damage ar ea and ten million board feet of sawtimber,” said Ed Pick ens, management supervisor for the Commission of Forestry. Much of the timber won’t be salvaged, for various reasons: lack of labor and equipment; an acute shortage of timber rail cars and trucks; absence of land-owners to take respon sibility; inaccessibility; low sal vage value. But there is hope of saving some 260,000 cords of pulpwood and ten million board feet of sawtimber. “The industry currently is taking more than 7,000 cords a week,” said Niederhof. “That’s about 4,000 cords more than we normally take from the area of storm damage. We may be able to take as much as 10,000 cords a week.” In addition, some 3,000 cords a week are being diverted to out-of-state mills. “This means that mills in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and perhaps Virginia will draw pulp wood from sources which would normally supply South Carolina mills,” Niederhof said. Example: A northeast Geor gia mill, which usually gets its pulpwood from South Carolina and Georgia, will “trade” Geor gia wood to mills in South Georgia and Alabama. This will enable the northeast Georgia mill to concentrate on buying wood from the damaged areas in South Carolina. “Several agreements already have been made along this line by mills in the Southeast,” said Niederhof. The mills in the state are tak- NOTICE TO CREDITORS All persons having claims against the estate of Blanche C.

Leslie 1004 Wilson St. Newberry, S. C. 29108 Executor April 2, 1969 3tc Felker gets study grant James R. Felker, Jr., New berry College mathematics in structor, has received a study grant of $1,000 from the Board of College Education and Church Vocations, Lutheran Church in America. He will use the short-term grant for advanced work in mathematics at the University of South Carolina this summer. Felker joined the Newberry, faculty in 1967 as a National Teaching Fellow in mathema tics. City Building Permits The City issued building per mits with construction value of $3,650 last week to: First Baptist Church, 1004 Caldwell repairs; Ed Caldwell, 1806 Lindsay, repairs, Roberta Sligh, 827 Floyd, repairs, Tom Hair, 214 Drayton, erect shed; Robert Mills, 2606 Digby, re pairs; Floyd Walker, 1020 Third repairs; Heyward Sease, 2212 Harper, repairs; Robert Ren- wick, 2103 Mower, addition. ing less wood from their sup pliers outside the damaged areas. One big mill planned to take 80 percent of its pulpwood from the damaged areas dur ing the latter part of March. The companies also have sharply reduced cutting of wood on their own timberlands, even in the storm-damaged areas. “Whether the industry will be able to take as much as 13,000 cords a week for long is a mat ter for time to settle,” Nieder hof said. “There are many com plicating factors: “First, the mills had good supplies of pulpwood before the storm hit; “Second, we’re fast running out of room to stack any more wood, not only at the mill woodyards, but at industry col lecting yards throughout the wood-buying area. There aren’t enough chip storage facilities to help; “Third the industry certainly must keep its suppliers outside of the damaged area in busi ness. We just can’t cut off hun dreds of people who depend on pulpwood harvesting for a liv ing; “Fourth, we can take only so much pine. All the mills use a hefty percentage of hardwood and must continue to receive a constant supply of it; “Fifth, we can’t use wood that is badly damaged. Our chipping facilities simply won’t handle it.” Niederhof emphasized that the mills in the state are paying their normal prices for pulp wood delivered at the mill. The industry is cooperating with the S. C. Commission of Forestry, the Extension Service, U. S. Forest Service, Soil Con servation Service, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and other agencies to bring about recovery from the storm damage.
