More Timber And Pulpwood Raleigh, Nov. 27. ? Asking every possible cooperation on the part of ..workers, operators and owners of timber in North Caro lina In meeting the State's pro rata of lumber and pulpwood for critical needs, Governor Brough ton signed a proclamation yester day afternoon pointing out that this state must maintain produc tion of 1,656,000,000 board feet of lumber and 600,000 cords of pulpwood. These figures Mo be met with out Impairing the State's resour ces of standing timber, which now total 43,610,000,000 board feet of timber, according to estimates by the United States Forest Ser vice. The need is so great that the government ' has been unable to place orders for 712 million board feet immediately needed. The proclamation follows: To all workers, operators and owners of timber in North Caro lina A Proclamation liy ine ] Governor I Lumber, pulpwood and other ] timber products are critical ma- 1 terials required in huge quanti- i ties for the construction of fa cilities and implements of war. I National requirements for the < successful prosecution of the war ' are estimated by the War Produc- ] tion Board to exceed thirty-six 1 billion board feet of lumber and thirteen million cords of pulp wood during the present calendar year. Recently, the Central Pro curing Agency was unable to place orders for seven hundred i and twelve million board feet of lumber for immediate govern ment use. If our goals are to be reached, the annual pro-rata production of lumber and timber products by this state must be maintained at a rate of 1,656,000,000 board feet ?f lumber and 600,000 cords of pulpwood. The United States Forest Ser vice estimates that there is a stand of 43,610,000,000 board feet of timber at the present time in this state which if con servatively managed is sufficient to produce a cut of 1,656,000,000 board feet of lumber and 600,000 cords of pulpwood annually dur ing the War Emergency without Impairing the future productivity of this vital resource within this State. It is suggested that all citizens who own timber lands select those kinds and sizes of trees useful in the war effort which can be removed without impairing the future productivity of such lands and to make these trees or the products thereof available for purchase by manufacturers of lumber and timber products. Now, Therefore, I, J. Melville Broughton, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby call upon all lumber, pulpwood and other timber products manufac turers in the State to take cogniz ance of the need and to strive to produce lumber and timber pro ducts in the increased quantities needed to supply our armed for ces and related essential civilian uses. Furthermore, in view of the urgent military needs. I call up on those workers in logging camps, mills and allied industry in this State to labor without stint to the end that our men in | uniform may not be handicapped by a lack of equipment or facili- 1 ties, and also I call upon the press, radio stations, schools and other media of Information and publicity in the State of North -Carolina to acquaint the public in general, and timber owners and timber workers in particular with the urgent need of increased pro duction of timber and forest pro ducts for the successful prosecu tion of the war. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Qreat Seal of the State of North Carolina to be a'ffixed at Raleigh, North Carolina, the Capital, this the twenty-sixth day of November, A. D? 1943. Signed J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON, Governor. CAPTURES STILL Officer W. A.

CAPUDINE GRADUATES Keesler Feld, Biloxi, Miss.. Dec. 2. ? A new rolo in Democra cy's fight against the Axis today awaited Pfc. Charles H. Parrish, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grover C. Parrish, RFD 3, Louisburg, N. C , who was graduated as an airplane mechanic today from the B-24 Liberator bomber mechanic's school at this unit of the Army Air Force Training Command. Pvt. Parrish, with approximate ly 17 weeks of intensive training behind him, is now ready either For assignment to line duty wher sver the big Libertors are oper ating, or to a flexible gunnery or Factory school. "On the line" it will be his iuty, not to fly them, but to keep them in good flying condition so they will perform effectively. Be Fore the big bombers take off he will make certain that the en gines are running smoothly, that the electrical and fuel systems ire functioning properly, that the landing gear is working correct y ? that the plane is In perfect nechanical condition. When the {ilanes return he will lelp mend broken and twisted parts, change a damaged engine, patch up bullet holes and put the bombers back In service as good is new. Army Air Forces experts long tiave recognized the importance t)f the ground crews who outnum ber pilots 10 or 20 to 1, with the proven theory that a bomber Is no better in action than its me mhanics on the ground.

Matthews and Wife. THE LOW DOWN from HICKORY GROVE You hear about things being "deader than a a o o r nan. Well, the latest is the 4 Free doms. It was kinda flimsy, right from the start ? some thing like a whlspy fog ear ly in the morn ing, before the sun warmed up. But it sounded Kinaa preiiy, n ?? ? you listened sor- , _ ta casual, and ,"> without pondering too heavy. But I see they are trying to revive it ? give it some new glands or something. It is on our new one-cent postage stamp ? big as life ? the 4 Freedoms. A cam paign slogan on a postage stamp, where you gotta pay one cent (or a slogan yon don't think is much shakes in the first place, is klnda nervy. But you must buy it re gardless?unless you just quit writing anybody? and go in your hole and hibernate. When the 4 Freedoms first came out it caught a good many folks klnda off-balance. But with out things like freedom to work where you wish to work and not have to dig up. the other 4 Free doms don't look so hot. I guess they started using the slogan too soon ? too far from election day. It has had time to back-fire ? and loud, like a balky carburetor.

Gasoline Situation Here is the second in the OPA series of articles on the gasoline situation. It deals with the increasing needs of the Army and Navy. War demands tor fuel oil and gasoline will increase with every additional plane, Jeep, tank, truck or landing barge sent overseas. In 1942, only about 12 per cent, of all the gasoline produced east of the Rockies went to our armed forces and allies. By the end of! 1943 it will be 30.6 per cent. In' 1944, it is estimated, it will be 36.6 per cent and In 1946, 39.6 J per cent. . In plain words, only about 25 gallons of each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil produced goes into gasoline for civilian use. In 1941 it was about 37 gallons. Mechanised warfare feeds in satiably oi petroleum and its products. Tanks of one armored division will burn 25.000 gallons of gasoline In traveling 100 miles. On a single slxhour mission, one Flying Portress will use at least 1500 gallons of high-test fuel. Gasoline is used in Held hos- j pltals to heat sterilizers for sur- ? gical Instruments, to light the lamps in tent operating rooms and to power' the refrigerators where blood plasma is kept. In the Arctic, the Aleutians, in Greenland, gasoline heats the soldier quarters. In nearly every theater of war gasoline plays a part in cooking soldiers' meals. I Even mechanical dough-kneaders in Held kitchens are run with gas oline. As more and more high-test fuel is produced, the quality of automobile gas will becopie pro gressively poorer as greater amounts of tetra-ethyl of lead are used to step up the- fuel. Petroleum production has not kept pace with wartime demands. In the midwestern fields, produc tion has actually declined since Pearl Harbor. Search for new midwest sour ces continues, but the Petroleum Administrator for War says the only remaining fields capable of expansion are in West Texas, plus a limited area in East Texas WE HAVE THEM!
