THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND
Bringing In
Parents are having to watch th eir family belongings closely as 1
their children are really getting into the' scrap. Even they realize
that the war depends on every piece of scrap in this county and
every other couii'ty. So, come on youngsters, and bring that scrap.
Fires Destroy Acidwood
Vital To War Materials
Charred Wood Is Useless
For Tanning; Loss
To Macon
Fire Prevention Week has
brought to mind fire danger in
the forest. Everyone should bear
in mind that as the leaves fall the
woods will burn with increasing
intensity. Large numbers of men
are laboring in the woods engag
ed in hauling out acidwood. All of
these acidwood workers are aware
of the fact that where forest fires
go over the wood job chestnut is
charred to the point where it can
not be sold. Chestnut wood with
charcoal on it does not make ex
tractwood. Last spring one oper
ator had a disastrous fire burn
over his acidwood job. He had
expended from $300 to $400 build
ing roads. He was about to get
under way with the job when this
fire occurred. The wood was char

red so badly that it, was neces
sary for him to abandon, the job.
Thie owner of the timber lost. $1500
because the chestnut had been
burned to the poinfwhere it was
not desirable. The woods operator
lost $300 to $400 in labor expended
on building roads.
At the present time Macon
county is one of the major pro
ducers of acidwood. This type of
woods work has supplied a vast
amount of ready cash for Macon
county farmers. Everyone appre
ciates this opportunity for help
ing in producing war materials,
since chestnut acidwood produces
the 'extract necessary for tanning
shoes. Tanning extract has long
been considered a vital war ma
terial by the War Production
Board. , Every patriotic citizen
should therefore make every ef
fort to keep fire out of the woods
so that every bit of chestnut
wood can be delivered to the ex-tractory.
