Cut a Cord of
Pulpwood
When the big artillery shells
of, the A.E.F. fell on Sedan,
France, In early November, twen
ty-five years ago, the East and
West armies of the Kaiser were
cut in two and the Kaiser's goose
?was cooked.
Then came the Armistice.
Der Fuerher's goose will be
cooked one day, too, and then
Tojo's. How soon depends on us
at home as much as on our fight
ing men. For they can't win
victories unless we keep them
supplied with more and better
equipment than the enemy's.
Planes, ships, tanks and guns
are essential needs, we 'know, but
just as essential are ammunition,
equipment, feed, medical supplies
and a hundred other materials of
war needed in each day's battle.
One of the essential products
for hundreds of items of war to
day is pulpwood. It goes into the
manufacture of smokeless pow
der, surgical dressings, mine cov
ers, cargo parachutes, vest for
aviators, weatherproof maps, con
tainers for blood plasma, first
aid kits, emergency rations, just
to name a few.
Tons of food and equipment |
are shipped overseas each month
In waterproof boxes and bags
made of pulpwood which has re
placed millions of pounds of crit
ical metals.
Now the nation, at war, is suf
fering from a serious pulpwood
shortage which can only be re
lieved by the farmers and wood
cutters in pulpwood producing
areas like ours.
We can't all work on the plan
es and ships and tanks and guns
but every able-bodied man in the
community can give them life by
the fruits of his axe and saw.
Remember the Victory Pulpwood
Campaign slogan:
"Cut a Cord of Pulpwood for
every Local Boy in Service."
