Manpower Commission "Paul V.

Clare the cutting and processing
of pulpwood essential ‘‘both as

Representative Lyle H. Boren
Republican of Oklahoma, chair
man of the subcommittee, said Se
lective Service already had con
sidered wood-cutting an essential
occupation but that the WMC had
not so designed it.
In telegrams to the two govern
ment officials, the subcommittee
sold “it is the unanimous opinion
of our committee that the list you
proposed to issue should include
the processing of pulpwood as es
sential occupations.”

PLANT SMALL
GRAINS EARLY
Small grain crops should be
planted early rother than late In
he fall, if they are to be given
•he opportunity of making maxi
mum yields, says Extension ag-
onomists at .State College.
Usually growers get busy with
the marketing of tobacco and the
harvesting of cotton and peanuts
nd let the proper time for sm-iM
grain planting slip by. the agro
nomists report. The plants do not
have a chance to build a good
•oot system and get set for the
winter freezes. Lower y'elds re-
ult.
In addition to planting early,
he agronomists also advise an in
creased acreage and proper ferti
lization at planting because ex
tra feed supplies are needed *-o
elp offset the existing shortage.
Planting dates will vary in each
section of the state. Hessian fly-
free dates should be observed.
Tbe agronomists also suggest
the early planting of crops for hay
nd temborary grazing. In the
Piedmont, for example, they ad
rise the planting of alfalfa in the
atter part of August and Septem
ber Also, barley, oats, and rye
make good early grazing in this
rea, when planted in August and
well fertilized. •'
A large number of crops can
be planted in the mountain areas
in August. Alfalfa leads the list
'ollowed by blue grass, bur clover,
crimson clover, hop clover, or
chard grass, redtop, Iwiry vetch,
and white clover.
The agronomists report that
North Carolina is blessed with op
portunities for growing an excep-
ionallv large mimber of feed
crops and urge that they be plant-
id at the proper time to insure
ood yields.
The vulue of gasoline ration
■oil pons in the Middle West and
Southwest was cut from four
to three gallons effective at 12:01
a. m. this morning.
This was announced by Chester
Bowles, of Washington, acting
ir'ce administrator.
At the same time Bowles said
'he ban on pleasure driving in 12
northeastern states may be lifted
September 1 if the restrictions on
such driving is observed the bal
ance of this month.
The order was issued hurriedly
by OPA because of information
•leaks” in the Middle West which
‘hreatened a rush of motorists of
filling stations. It was made “t?
reduce gasoline consumption” in
the Midwest and Southwest,
Bowles said.
speaking of the eastern prohi
bition on pleasure driving he said:
’’The ban on 'nonessential driv
ing is an emergency regulation.
We don’t like it. No one likes it.
We are anxious to rehuj^e It as
quickly as possible. We are sin
cerely hopeful' that this can be
Tone by September 1. But this re
moval must be coBdit-lonnl upon a
proper observance of the ban In
the meantime so that our East
coast stocks can be built up by
•geptember 1 to levels sufficient
to support the increased con
•nimptlon.”

This 23rd day^rfxtoiy. 1943.
R, T:
of the «dato of.'SlwpR ■ Afe
of Miss Elizabeth Jenkins—but
she’s doing her level best to chtnge
that!
For example: ^
Elizabeth works in an essential in
dustry thereby releasing, in effect, a
fighting man. And out of the salary
she draws for that work she puts 22%
into War Bonds, through the Payroll Savings
Plan. She figures that her investment may
help to maintain the three fightii^ men who
are closest to her—her two brothers and her
father.
“They’re fighting for me, so the least I can
do is to help buy the tools they flight with!”
says Elizabeth.
Her father commands a brigade of ths
North Carolina State Guard. He saw action
overseas in the last war and his stores hays
made Elizabeth keenly aware of the impor
tance of her investment in War i^nds. Her
father hat explained that no matter how
much spirit and fight a soldier-has, he needs
the best equipment that money can buy.
He has also poin^ out that 'American sol
diers are the best equipped in tire world."
Miss Jenkins wants to keep them that way,
because in addition to her father, site has two
brothers in the Army.
Lieutenant Tom is an antiaircraft artil
leryman. Captain Jack is in the Air Corps.
So Elizabeth is reasonably sure that in one
way or another, the Axis will hear from the
Jenkins family in the near future. It makes
no difference to Elizabeth whether her War
Bond investment buys bombs or shells—
cither one will get her a few more votes for
the title she’s seeking.
Are you doing as much for America’s
future as Elizabeth Jenkins? Are you as
anxious as she is to get the war over and get
the war won? Every dollar you can lend
hurries Victory, so . . .
Figurt it out for yourstif:
Weren’t there a few more dollars in your
last pay envelope that could have gone into
War Bonds—but didn’t? Get out a pcncU
right igw, and see if you can’t boost ^ per
centage ywi’re puttiag aside for Ui^e Si^
