More Farm Timber Must Go To War Smokeless powat blood plas ma containers, cargo parachutes, aviator vests, shell casings, first aid kits, and commando bags are just a few of the many hundreds of things for which pulpwood is needed in the prosecution of the i war. Timber and puipwood needs far outstrip the supply and R. W 3raeber, Extension forester at l State College, appeals to North Carolina farmers to do everything1 possible to help supply the wood ( products needed to meet military and essential civilian require ments. He warns that unless farmer? do more in supplying timber pro ducts there may be a serious short- * age of containers, packaging, and 1 wrappings for farm crops "Lumber and pulpwood produc tion can be increased without st lipping our woodlands. Selec tive cuttings will assure greater i vet urns for less time and labor, and will improve the stands for future timber crops.'' Graeber says. | Farmers may obtain help in marking, cutting, and marketing their timber by applying to the county agents, the Extension | farm foresters, the Timber Pro | Auction War Project foresters, and the U. S Forest Service. Al! , >>f these igencies stand ready to i assist farmers in determining the mature trees :o be taken from the -lands for lumber, thinning for pulpwood. and approved methods j of forest management. "The armed forces are now de manding tremendous quantities I of both timber and pulpwood. es pecially to meet invasion needs, i and farmers can make no greater contribution to the war effort than by helping to supply forest products.'- Graeber says.

Every work er want- to be sure that he will ?et the right insurance checks when he grows old. or that his family will receive the right hecks in the right amount, if he dies. D W. Lambert, manager of the Ysheville field office said today iat care and attention to this matter of keeping the records straight, now. might very well mean the difference between t lie :igh payments and the wrong payments of benefits, later on He explained that an individ ual account is kept for each work ? whose name appears on the books of the Social Security Board. The worker's name and a number that is assigned to him b\ lie Board are printed at the p of his ledger sheet and also written on record cards that are kept on file.
