? WOODS WILL '
#??????????
(This column is written by and
for tbe folks in the WOOD Com
munity for the sole purpose of
reporting the things they havo
done, the human experiences they
have had, and something of their
hopes and plans for a better
WOOD and a better WORLD.
Get your news in by SUNDAY
folks!)

It looks like the most Important
thlsg that happened in WOOD this
week was a set-back instead of
an improvement. That is bound
to happen sometimes and as in
this case it couldn't be helped.
Austin Fuller has taken over the
management and operation of the
Fuller Esso Station in a little
place on the out-skirts of WOOD,
failed Loulsburg. As a matter of
fact you might say that Louis
burg is one pf the outlying sub
urbs of WOOD. Anyway service
work takes a lot of time so Aus
tin and Mary figured they had
better get located, temporarily at
least, nearer his work. We hate
to see them move and we will
miss the kids at school, but it
will help them and we are glad
of that. They are keeping their
home in WOOD and perhaps after
the war when traveling is less
restricted they will be back with
us again. We hope so anyway.

Bill and Mrs. Battle are going
to occupy Austin asd Mary's home
which puts Bill on the spot. He
promised that after they moved
lie would start coming to Sunday
School and Church. Living right
next to the church as he will be
1 am to hold him to his promise,
and if he tries to wiggle out of
it now I'm blessed if we don't
move the Sunday school right
over into his living room. You
have heard the old saying that if
you can't make the mountain
come to you then go to the moun
tain or something to that effect

We will have to fix up a special
part of the Church for the bald
headed gentlemen of WOOD to
seat themselves In. I understand
that some of the above mentioned
folks don't like to take off their
hats because of their long fore
heads and as long as they can't go
to church without taking off their
hats they are using that as an
excuse for not attending. The way
I look at it a man without any
hair on his head can sing Nearer
My God to Thee, and really mean
it.

We are reporting late that Lt.
and Mrs. Henry H. Whitley of
Richmond visited Mrs. Whitley's
folks, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Mel
Qriffln last week-end. Also Bruct!
Leonard who is in the Navy was
able to get home (or a day with
his folks, Mr. and Mrs. Wash
Leonard.

We heard that Martin Gupton
had a badly broken leg after a
fall a couple days ago which will
lay him up for a while. This will
be quite a set-back for Martin be
cause he is always busy at some
thing around his place, not to say
anything about it hurting so much.
I am sure everyone in the com
munity wishes him a speedy re
covery.

It was good to see Eugene Den-i
ton's smiling face Sunday. He is
spending a short furlough with
his folks, Mr. and Mrs. Callie Den
ton. His sister, Cora was able to
get home over the week-end too.
It's always good news when some
of the scattered families of tfcis
day and time can get together.
II? H .
Henry Alec Gupton wrote home
to his folks this week and in the
letter he told of a narrow escape
he experienced. He, along with
some of his buddies were in their
fox-hole when they were attacked
by a nice, young, fat pig. Before
the 'enemy' could give an alarm
by squealing Henry cut off his
head and after doing the neces
sary things proceeded to barbecue
it on the spot. War may be Hell
but it has it's better moments.
Lt. Hodgie Shearin was able
to spend the week-end with her
folks Mr. and Mrs. Bunn Sheifrin.
Lt. Shearin is stationed at Camp
Butner at the present time.

The WOOD Community Scout
Troop held their meeting Sunday
afternoon but due to a miscarri
age of plans the program that
was scheduled was not carried
out. Efforts are being made that
this will not happen again;

The two Patrols held meetings
during the week and studied up
on their tenderfoot tests.

The BYPU held their regular
Sunday night meeting and plans
were made for a Bingo party Wed
nesday night. There will be a
quilting among other things and
a big time is expected.

Ridley Browne of the WOOD
DRUG STORE is acting as volun
teer salesman for the FRANKLIN
TIMES temporarily. If you know
There's a crisis in the making!
If stocks pile up in fertilizer plants and agents' ware
houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must
move fast or the lack of man-ppwer will cause a para
lyzing shortage.
Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To
supply the quantity needed for 1945 craps, many car
goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then
moved out by train aAd truck for immediate allocation.
It must move out of agents' hands as fast as it moves
in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to the
ports, even back to the ships.
Already there's a threatened shortage of nitrogen,
^due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help
smash the bottle-neck by
taking your nitrate as soon
as it is offered, the shortage
will become acute. Thous
ands of tons will pile up at
U.S. ports or on the docks
in Chile. The only place Chil
ean Nitrate does you any
good is on your crops. Get

Everybody knows that It takes
work and lots of It to make a
success of anything. It takes Ideas
and willingness. It takes the ef
fort of each person, and then
sometimes It takes time from each
of us that we sometimes feel we
can't spend. Our Job while we aro
on this world is largely one of
supporting ourselves and family,
but that Isn't enough. We should
also try so to do that when we
leave this old world we will have
left some corngr of It at least a
little better tha'n It was when we
came here. It Is for this reason
that we try to Improve the com
munity In which we live. It Is a
good reason and the accomplish
ment brings satisfaction to each
of us who try to do our part. By
the improvement of a community
we can give better surrounding
in which our children can grow
up. They in turn can learn to b?r
better and more useful citizens
and they will also try to make
their homes and community bet
ter. It seems to me that the "first
place each of us should try to
help is by attending Sunday school
and Church. We all may well
take heed from the passage in
the Bible which says, "Seek yec
FIRST the Kingdom of Heaven,
and all these things shall be add
ed unto you" Our school, our
nelghborlines8, our homes all ol
these will profit by each ones ef
fort to support the church by
attending. It is everyones job. II
is your job and mine. If you do
not come you are failing short of
your part in helping your home
and your community. Start help
ing by coming this next Susday. |
Sunday School will be a half
hour earlier this Sunday to allow;
time for Church which will follow
immediately after the close of the
school.

Radio to Improve
Bus Service
Radio equipment -to enable in
tercity buses to be in constant
communication with their head
quarters and stations en route
w-lll be a postwar development in '
highway passenger transportation.
Already the National Association
of Motor Bus Operators has re
quested the Federal Communica
tions Commission to allocate 15
radio wave bands for the indus
try's use.
At FCC hearings held In Wash
ington recently, representatives
of several major Intercity bus
lines told how Improved commu
nications equipment would facili
tate travel. The ability to com
municate directly with buses on
the highways and to receive mes
sages from drivers would add to
passengers' convenience and com
fort. promote safety, minimize de
lays in the event of road failures
or adverse highway conditions,
and expedite repair and maintenv
ance work.
Several of the nation's larger
lines are planning the installation
of experimental equipment on
certain routes as soon as wartime
restrictions are lifted. While the
program will be developed by in- ,
dividual bus lines, the request
for the necessary wave bands was
made by the industry as a whole
to provide for eventual national
coverage of all highway passen
ger transportation operations. '
