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." o One of the best broadleafed evergreens for the eastern half of North Carolina Is the Camellia.
