states that about 90 per cent of all
penny box matches and 25 per cent
of all book matches produced in
the next six months will be deliv
ered to the armed forces. Although
few penny box macthes will be
available to civilians during this

LESS DUSTY ROADS IN
PROSPECT
I'rospects of less dusty inter
mediate and county roads next
spring and summer are decidedly
improved as a result of action by
the Petroleum Administration for
War in permitting the use of resi
dual fuel oil for road building and
maintenance. The permission ap
plies to all parts of the country
except the West Coast. This ac
tion is possible because of current
supplies of residual oil. The re
strictions were lifted at this time
to permit states, counties and lo
cal governments to plan next year's
road programs now.
Helen Plott Mull
Spends Leave Here
Helen Plott Mull, Hospital Ap
prentice, first class, WAVES, dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Plott,
spent a several days leave here
with her parents.
She entered the service in Au
gust of this year and took her boot
training at Hunter College, Bronx,
New York. From there she was
sent to the Naval Hospital at Beth
esda, Md. Upon completion of the
course offerrd there she was given
a leave of absence.
She will go from here to Parris
Island where she will take special
nurses training at the Naval Hos
pital there.
At the time she entered the ser
vice she was employed at the New
port News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company.
When I was a boy of about
twelve, my mother went for a
short visit to an old lady, a great
friend of hers. When she came
home she called me and said:
"Son, my old friend is sick, bed
fast, and will never be well again.
She has no appetite for ordinary
things but thinks that, if she had
something wild, the gamey taste
might tempt her. Do you think that
you could get her a squirrel"?
"I don't know, Mother, but I
can try," I replied. So I got out
my father's old muzzle-loading
ri file (such all guns were in that
day), hung the powder horn and
bullet-pouch over my shoulder, and
started out. This rifle (perhaps
the most accurate in our part of the
county) came from the sun hop
of the Lam Brothers at Jamestown,
between Hifih Point and Greens
boro, in Guilford County. It had
been made to order for J. H. Robe
son, Prof. E. J. Robeson's fother;
and his name is engraved on the
barrel. This gun is now in the
possession of my brother, David
Gudger.
With this gun on my shoulder
(I must have been about twelve
years old) 1 started out. There
were two nearby places where I
was sure of a squirrel in the hol
low behind the C, E. Ray place, and
in that beyond the Brown tanyard
south of the Clarence Miller house.
Thinking the latter the better
chance I went down the hill,
through the blackberry-briar-covered
old field, past the tanyard and
up into the woods. It was in mid
summer and the trees were in full
leaf; so it was hard to find a
squirrel. But presently I located
one in a tree just about the edge
of the present road in front of the
now Adger house. But I had no
one to "turn" the squirel for me,
and no matter how litrht-footed I
moved, he always kept on the other
side of the tree from me.
Presently, however, I outwitted
him and got him in the "sights"
of the old rifle and down he came.
I carried him home, and Mother
called me "good boy." I then
skinned and dressed him. Mother
put him on a plate, lightly salted
him, and covered him with a white
napkin (I can see it as I write.)
Then I, the happiest and proudest
boy in old Waynesville to do this
thing for this old lady, the dear
friend of my mother and my fath
er, took the squirrel to her. And
as I write these words, there is a
warm feeling within me of this
happy recollection of the old past.

RECENT CHANGES in the Wc, .a Hon on both
fronts have skyrocketed demands for pulp
wood products.
The Pacific timetable has been stepped up and
so have the needs for packaging materials and
shipping containers made of pulpwood.
Prospects of a Winter War in Europe require
many additional tons of supplies packaged in
pulpwood products.
Because most packaging materials for the Armed
Forces come from the South, the nation looks to us
to step up the supply of pulpwood immediately.

Make every axe-stroke count. Cut only wood that
is sound and straight.
