Post Oflfice Broken Into
After Hours When Good
Lot Of Cash Was
On Hand
Gaining entrance by breaking
a window, robbers made what is
said to have been a sizable haul
at the Lelt.nd Post Office Thursday
night. It is understood that
several hundred dollars in cash
was taken and several hundreds
more in stamps, war bonds and
merchandise.
To gain entrance to the safe
which contained the bonds,
stamps and cash, the lock was
broken off with chisels and hammers.
Postal Inspectors are at work
on the case and have the cooperation
of local officers. Reports
seem to indicate that the officers
believe the robbery was commitfprl
hv snrrip nartv or nnrties of
the Lelanc. community, or from
nearby Wilmington. One officer
stated to this paper that arrests
were expected to be made very
shortly.
Mrs. U. L. Rourk is Postmistress
at Leland. Her office is understood
to have been doing much for the
sale of war bonds and this, together
with heavy postal business
is said to account for the large
amount of cash that was on hand.

rhe present "world outlook actuates

cretary Claude R. Wickard in
i first annual report recently
ide public by the Secretary,
rhe situation in the war-torn
jntries, where entire cities have

thoroughly disrupted,
jpled with the inevitable de:ted
condition of much of the
mmercial forest of our own
untry after the war, Watts said,
ikes it of utmost importance
it "the United States take
)ck of its present and potential

The Chief estimated that in
st-war Europe the "timber deit
will probably be greater
an the anticipated surplus of
the rest of the world."
Watts predicted post-war use

id that the post-war "outlook
t'ers large incentive to farmers
farmers to manage their woodids
for maximum sustained
;ld, either by their own efforts
with the help of cooperative
^anization."
Indicating that the present
inch" on civilian use of forest
oducts in this country would
come even more acute before
c end of the war, the Chief Former
reported that "purchases for
ect war use in the first six
>nths of 1943 were greater than
the preceding six months,
lereas estimates of total cut
1943 fall some 10 billion feet
low iM consumption." He add >1
that inventories of retail yards
clined "by more than one-third
the first half of 1943, leaving ,
;m some 60 per cent below
arl Harbor levels."
In pointing out the need of
nber management for maxilm
sustained yield, Watts said
it at the present time the
