Parents Hear F:

*
Mr. And Mrs. D. A. Harvell j~
| Of Bolivia H?ar From |
i i heir bon Lassfter Har- l_
veil Whom They Have
Not Seen In Eight Years
i A few days ago Mr. and Mrs.
D. A. Harvell, of Bolivia, received
a letter from their son, Lassiter
Harvell, who has been a prisoner
of war in a Japanese camp
since right after Pearl Harbor. It
is the first direct word that they
have had from their son in three
years.
Harvell had served in the Navy
for six years prior to Pearl j
Harbor. His parents have not
seen him in eight years. Notified!
by the War Department soon I
after Pearl Harbor that he was
missing, they sought the aid of j
the Red Cross and after a long
investigation the organization advised
them that they had learned i
that he was a prisoner of war of j
the Japanese. j
While the letter, received ear- |
ly this month, was welcome in I *
that it indicated he is still alive, |
it was dated July 3, 1943, and |
if written on that date was 13
months in reaching the parents. |
Mr. and Mrs. Harvell believe, T'
that the letter was really written
on July 3, 1944. They think that
he may have inadvertently given
the wrong date, or that his three
years in the prison camp may
have been such that he forgot ar
what year it was when he wrote.1 tir
He stated in the letter that he j ke
was given plenty to eat and that I be
the work he had to do was not sti
too hard. A comparison of this no
statement with things that have mi
been written by other American
prisoners of war of the Japanese su
reveals them to be identical. The fii
Japs evidently require all of their ga
prisoners of war, when they are R(
allowed to write home, to say or
that they get plenty to eat, do wl
not have to work too hard and Gi
are treated fine.

The fish weighs siightiy c
less than a pound, is shaped j

thickly studded with small ! t

St

ai
Now is the time for farmers ti
and owners of farm woodlands to M
make plans for harvesting their w
fall crops of pulpwooci, according el
to Lendon Clemmons of the ,,
DI
Brunswick Victory Pulpwood
Committee. bi
"Even though your field crops a
may not be out of the way yet, st
it is a good idea to get your a]
pulpwood trees marked early for e]
fall thinning of your woodland,"; st
Clemmons said, "Then you will r<
be ready to start cutting as soonl
as field crops are in. 1t<
"Pulpwcod is a farm crop that m
can be turned quickly into cash1 u;
and harvested on days when you Vi
can't work in the fields. There is tl
a ready market for it now be \ e<
cause of the tremendous war req-1 S?
uirements for pulpwood products, n:
"Farm woodlands normallyj b
provide a good share of the farm
income. Right now pulpwood is1 b
me of the most important farm b\
crops because of the war reeds^ ci
for pulpwood products. And it'B
vas one of the most profitable1 al
farm crops because it is not af-1 fc
fected by drought or storms." j p<
The committee pointed out that tt
even an abrupt ending of the b<
,var in Europe will not halt the i tl
lemand for pulpwood because so
nany mills will need to build up f
nventories for peace-time trade, j I
"Most mills have little or no in- j
rentories of pulpwood nowadays j
is consumption has been exceed- j
ng production since 1941," the
:ommittee said. j
"Finished paper stocks are low
>r depleted, moreover, so that
here will be a huge civilian denand
for paper and paper products
after the war. In addition,
nany new uses for pulpwood fi^rp
