Pulpwood Has Future Says WPB Consultant Special to The Roanoke N’e w - - Atlanta-Urgent war needs tor ^ pulpwood now and stable mark-j ets for pulpwood after the wai j were cited today as incentives f"> ( increased southern production of pulpwod ot meet 1914 quotas by Frank Heyward, Jr., forester ofj the Southern Pulpwood Conserva-j tion Association, now on loan to i the Regional War Production j Hoard. Pulpwood producers are not only doing an urgently needed patriotic job now, he said, 'out are laying the ground work for profitable post war operations in the years ahead. War uses have greatly expand ed the use of pulpwood products,! and the research and experience j gained through military needs will assure more uses cf these products after the last gun is fil ed, Heyward pointed out. The paper industry is now mak ing a cloth from wood fibres as flexible and rustle proof as clotn from usual soures. This cloth can be finished in almost any texture. At the same time, it can he made fireproof and water proof. Some airplane parts are made of paper-base laminates, Hey"ardj stated, and a pulpwood fibre isj used in a collaspsible bag for cat - ^ vying extra gasoline by figlvtei planes. Target balloons for. air craft gunnerv practice are being manufactured frm-n pulpwood products. Paper made of pulpwood is be in}! used in camouflage nets and to make wind proof vests for, fliers, I These war uses - just a few of many developments - mean two things, Heyward emphasized: a constant and increasing demand for pulpwood to meet war needs and a continuous peace - time de mand for pulpwood to make civ ilian articles. These peace-tinv uses maf easily range from win dow draperies to insulating ma terial, he explained. The WPB pulpwood consultant stressed the importance of using wise cutting practices in petting out the pulpwood for war need so that the future value of the tim ber crop will be enhanced. Farmers were advised to mark et their badly formed, defective trees, thin out dense growths oi timber and conserve their timber stocks by selective cutt-i ing. ,' Wise cutting practices, Heywant explained, follows the same i»nn-, tuple as thinning1 out garden plants to give sturdy stock better grow I ing conditions. Pulpwood trees are, in effect, “weed” trees ami should be cut to make possible better stands of timber for Other uses, he said. __ State College Hints Farm Homemakers By Kl I II Cl HKKNT N. State College When buying clothes, buy ihenJ big enough. It's better to buy a I dress a size larger and have it altered to fi: trimly and com-j fortably. Any article of clothing should be loose from the waist up. Ii should fit comfortably, not phist-j er tight. Clothes should no; pull against the chest, the diaphtam | or the back. Money spent on ex-' pertly fitted clothes is not wast-j ed. Drooping hem lines, sagging seams, p.. nil across the middle, or hanging off shoulder seams can't make a well-groomed ' ap pearance. What about our skirt length Straight skirts should be longo | because without fullness they | naturally pull up when you »P| down, knees aren’t pretty. C-red skirts can be shorter because of i the* extra fullness. Good posture along: with well fitted clothes can do a great deal to improve our looks. Celery tops may be cropped fine and put into a meat or a salntou loaf to give it a piquant flavor. Some cooks like to lay cel ery leaves on top of a roast while lit is cooking. The tops may also be cooked with the stalks for soup. Tops may be kept for later use by washing them thorouhglv, then drying and putting them in a pa per sack.
