Boys who are willing’ to work and apply themselv >s are given a chance to reach the top in a very short time. There are thousands of Petty Officer ratings waiting for these aggressive boys who are not afraid of hard work and are willing to get ahead. 5. different trades are avail tide to these teen age youths. Trades that range from Denistry to Aviation tind will equip these lads with a trade that will pay them well in civilian life. These trades can be learned aboard ship as well as in shore schools. A majority of the boys enlisting now prefer to fake up the trade of their cnoice an i they are aboard ship. Brown said that we should not lose sight o( our real goal which is destroying the Axis as quick as possible and the way t° do that is to choose your branch of service while you can and do your best at whatever is assigned to you to do. ’Tis said that the Japanese are happy to die, join the Navy and Let’s make them happy.

"The aver age grade of the last two colton crops was the lowest on record. "lTse of lower grades in many ta would not only reduce pro duction but affect the quality o*' vital war goods. Wo should do all we can to prevent that. “Staple length and variety art important factors in the general problem of quality, hut nothing can be done about those factors ibis season, it is possible, hov.r wr do something about improving the grade of this year’s crop.” Mr. Jones pointed out that the supply of strict middling and hot ter grades amounted to 37.7 per • cent of the tutal crop for the five; years preceding 1932. In the next j five yeai - it was 2(5.7 per cent, and by 1939 i- : ddropped to 17.7. Dur ing the 1940-11 season it went to 13.8 per cent, the next year to ll.fi, and Iasi year to an all time low of 8.5 per cent. “It is going to take superhuman effort to reverse such a to nd dur ing a year when labor ..- so .rt:. both in the field and at the gin” said Mr. Johnston, “but we are going to make just that sort of effort. The Army depends upon the cotton crop for more than eleven thousand different products o1 lint alone, not including the chemical products of linters, the to, d pro ducts of cottonseed oil, and the tremendous amounts of livestock feed derived from meal and hulls, file entire industry will respond immediately and wholeheartedly! to Mr. Jones request. Aliev.!y our preparations for active cooperation' are under way.” By tier time y Ti'i.-mlsj assemble in ....... War; Food Administration an.. \.i‘ ional Cotton Council will have, completed production of more than two 111 i 1 lion pieces of material for use by the various cotton associa-l lions in launching the "better grade” program in their own areas' and among their own members. Plans worked out in \Y ishington between representatives of the Council and the branches of WPA which deal with cotton include act ive1 assistance in the program from! every cotton group and from coun ty agents and county war boards throughout the Belt. Individual gins will be called on for distri bution o. educational materials to producers nd cotton pickers in earii county. There are four principal meth ods through which producers : nd pickers can improve the grade of the crop, according to Mr. John ston. “Of course,” he said, “the Lord is the fundamental factor in grade through His control of the weather, but there are a number of things which human being can do to make certain that gr >de rea ches the highest level the season permits. “To achieve high grade, cotton must be picked only when it is entirely dry. It must be kept free of leaf and other trash.

The Forest Service will cooperate/ with State and other Federal a-| gencies in all phases of the new i activity. in order to expedite the organi zation of the program, a large number of key men from tne reg ular Forest Service organization have been assigned to the new act ivity. m b of tlie eleven States in ■ the Southern Region, tne Nation-' ai Forest Supervisors have been placed in charge of the new pro gram as Area Foresters. from j-our to fifteen field men will be stationed in each State in the Re gsin, depending on the need lor ii.eir services in each area.

Estimated c. ...sumption for the second quarter of 1943 is 8,137 mil lion feet, 1 per cent above the first quarter of the year. Mill stocks of lumber on March 31st., 1943 reached a new low of 3,777 million feet, or 15 percent below those at the end of 1932 and 40 percent below those of Marco 31, 1932. A substantial increase in lum her production during the remaind er of 1943 is seen as necessary if critical war and essential civilian needs are to be met. Tlte South is expected to pro duce about 50 percent of the Na tion’s timber this year; indica i tion of the important position tne I Region is expected to occupy in j attaining the needed increase is I presented by the fact that 60 per I cent of the recent $1,000,000 appro ' priation has been allocated to the i Region, i i t • viun v , i ~ *' Urged To Increase Daily Fat Savings 1 0|o tablespoonful of waste! household fats saved every day by I each of Halifax County’s 12,551 families during the secon I year, of the WPB fat salvage c impaign woijd provide enough glycerin to mahe 002.781 anti-aircraft shells, it was estimated today by the lar gest single collector of his vi tally needed war material. “'Although only a fraction of this amount has been saved daily by thq average family,” said T.
