Because of the critical woods labor situation in the pulpwood industry, the Commerce Depart ment urged all mills to mechanize their woods operations wherevei possible so that woods labor will be utilized to maximum produc tive capacity. One mill in the South, it reported, increased its pulpwood production from one and a half cords per man day to al most four cords by complete me chanization of its woods opera tions. Citing increased war needs for pulpwood products, the Commerce Department stated that present estimates call for 8N .>.000,000 V boxes in -j however, may be raised' to aso,-’ 000,000 it added. Electricity Safe If Well Harnessed Eternal vigilance is the price of safety on the farm, regardless of whether the worker is operating heavy machinery, handling an ill tempered bull, cutting trees in the forest or using electrical ap pliances and equipment on the modernfarm. Under certain con ditions, the 110 volt electric cur rent that flows through the house circuit carries more kick than .in Army mule. Electricity, properly harnessed is a safe and dependable servant. Agricultural engineers of the State College Extension Service iemind farmers to use only those appliances that are safely approv ed. The house and barns should be properly wired -ffna the installa tion should have regular inspec tions. Grounding and insulation of all equipment should receive spec ial attention and switches should be located beyond the reach ot' children and animals. "Make sure that your hands and feet are dry and that you aren’t standing op a damp spot, when using electrical equipment,’' say the engineering specialists. Also keep the equipment free of moisture. Have adequate lighting around the equipment in use; remove dust and dirt from installations, lamps and wires; provide guards around gears, rotating parts and belts: these are important safety meas ures that should receive atten tion.

Motorists Asked To Take Care Of Passenger Tires !'• > ing a backlog of more than L’U.OOO approved applications for new grade I synthetic tires for which there are no stocks avail able, the Raleigh district Office o: PriceAdministration today cau tioned motorists to take care of their tires during the summer months in order to make them last j until replacements can be had. f Theodore S. Johnson, Ilaleigh district director, pointed out that one of the objections to synthetic rubber, the only kind now avail ahle for civilian passenger use is its inability to withstand heat as well as (ires made from crude rub ber. Even in winter driving, be said, tremendous temperatures are built up within the tire by the con stant flexing of the sidewalls and friction against the highway, and in summer this heat is increased immensely, He cautioned motorists to drive slower—35 miles per hour, at the most—and to have their tires re I “ capped before the carcass becomes damaged. He also warned t’-rd streetcar tracks, curbing . i obstacles and boles contribute more than their share to the ruin i ing of tires. “With reasonable car#,1’ John .1 i.ie can be recapp ed ii m three to five times, adding many thousands of miles to its life. Thetp is no outlook for new tires for any but the most essen tial drivers soon, so motorists must take eare of the tires they have now.” THE OLD JUDGE SAYS "1 don’t blame the fellows overseas for gettin’ all het up over it, Judge. For the likes of me I can't see what’s all the hurry about boldin’ these local prohibition elec tions while they’re away.” “1 agree with you, Steve. Time after time...in their letters, in articles, in polls taken to get the views of our lighting men ... they have indicated in unmistakable terms that they don’t want any action taken on prohibition, either local or national, until they get back.” "Too bad there isn't a law or somethin’ to be sure their wishes are carried out. Judge.” "There is in one state 1 know of, Steve. Just recently it passed a law prohibiting the calling of any prohibition election until a year after the peace is declared.” “ That really makes sense to me, Judge.” This advertisement sponsored by Conference of Alcoholic Beverage Industries, Inc. is/- war Plans for G. I. Joe... When it’s over "over there,” G. I. Joe will come home to a wave of gratitude such as this country never saw. And he’s earned every bit of it—and more. But gratitude won’t buy groceries—G. I. Joe wants to go to work. He’s got to have a job—and a chance to grow into still better jobs. We are going to do our part in the great task of providing these opportunities. Hie day after Pearl Harbor, Esso Marketers adopted a plan of wartime benefits and job protection for our people in uniform. We published its main points here recently. We now want to tell you about two plans for taking returning servicemen into our organization. Here are their main points. 2™ in a series of ads on post-war opportunities PLAN ONE covers our own employees as they come back: 1. Assurance to each man of his old job or an tlier as jjood or better. 2. Review of changes in the man and in the business since he went away to be sure he gets the best job for him now. 3. Recognition of the development of men during the w ar, by providing better jobs than they left, either ut once or us soon as possible. 4. Provisions in the case of a man not physically up to tiis old job for finding one he can do, temporarily or per manently as soon as possible. PLAN TWO aims to take as many new people as possi ble from the armed services into our business. Post-war petroleum will need more people. Wartime experience will equip many men for this business. Here is our plan for these men: 1. Careful analysis of the man’s abilities as they can best fit our business on the basis of a real career for him. 2. Special training with pay to prepare the man for prompt assignment to a definite job on a regular basis. 3. This also means full participation in old-age pen sion, disability, savings plan, and other individual job security benefits which our employees share. 4. Op, rtunities for further training to prepare for advancement on a basis of proved ability. For Information please address: Tvir. t\ M.
