Although it is believed that

needed for field hospitals may lie
I furnished through the Office cf

need of a quantity of items which
jmay be donated by citizens of

i this latter group are various articles
of clothes, for men, women
(and children. It is not necessary
j that these be new, just that they
'be warm and serviceable,
j Various articles necessary to
make up a layette also will be
j welcomed.
It will be appreciated if people
will bring their donations to the I

Fire Prevention Week
For State
Week Of March 15-21 Set
Aside By Governor J. M.
Broughton For Period Of
Emphasizing Importance
Of Protection
FIRE CALLED WORST
ENEMY OF FORESTS
Statistics Show That The
Products Of The Forests
Are Particularly Important
In War
Time
Importance of the forests as
sources of raw materials for defense
purposes and for other vitil
needs will be stressed during
'Forest Protection Week" in
S'orth Carolina which has been
proclaimed by Governor J. Mel- -r
fille Broughton for the period
March 15-21. a
Especially emphasized during
die week will be the necessity of f
protecting the forest .ands of L
die State against fires, their i
vorst enemy, which burned over
iome 728,947 acres of privately
pwned lands in 1941. Fires, officials
of the Dept. of Conserva- Ii
don & Development point out,
iccounted for aipout 13 percent
pf the total drain on North Caroina's
forests last year. Almost
ill of these could have been presented
by the exercise of proper
precautions. ni
Had the timber represented by S
'ire waste been saved, a suffi- h1
cient amount would have been 01
preserved to supply lumber suffi- ?1
cient to build more than 5,000 a
cgulation army barracks capable ir

Another source of waste of rt
.imber to which attention is beng
called are the cull trees, tops, bl
ind limbs four inches and larger CI
vhich were left in the forests tl
:ach year. It is estimated that c<
:his waste amounts to approxi- 11
nately 1,000,000 cords of wood c<
innually in North Carolina. Much S
>f this, acJtfvtlng to foresters, K
:ould be saved for pulpwood and cil
'uelwood.
Wood in various forms is es- P1
lential to the prosecution of the ,r
,var and the demand is increasng.
It is estimated that pulp- ?1
vood production will be about P1
15% higher in 1942 than for n
1941; a 20% increase in lumber ci
production is forecast; and the F
laval stores program calls for a e<

The Western Union people

the recipients believe
their relatives arc in Iceland or
Northern Ireland. When they
arc informed the phrase is
French for "Without Origin,"
some ask if that means their

is that the French phrase
is no indication at all of the

Thursday Prohibits Sale
Of New Or Used Typewriters
As Well As Rental

EVEN RENTALS ARE

Rental And Sales Of
Typewriters In The
Country Prohibited
WASHINGTON. ? The War
Production froze al! sales and
deliveries of new and used typewriters,
effective at midnight,
March 5.
The order, expected to be fol
lowed shortly by a rationing program,
was intended to conserve
the supply of typewriters for essential
use. The industry is undergoing
conversion to war production.
The sweeping order overrides
any outstanding sales contracts
for typewriters or any priority
claims on typewriter deliveries.
WPB offiicals said the order
was issued chiefly to prevent a
probable run on typewriter
stocks resulting from the conversion
program.
The WPB decree prohibitis
typewriter rentals, and gives persons
who now have rented machines
in their possession until
April 1 to return them to the
owners.
New typewriters may be delivered
only if they were in transit
at the effective time of the order
or if they are being delivered
by one dealer or distributor to
another, or by a dealer to manufacturer.
Rebuilt typewriters arc classified
as used machines. The order
permits the delivery of used machines
to a repair man and return,
and allows the return by a
pawn broker of any machine
pledged against a loan.
