' regard the sign as a good omen z x x I did not myself see the sign and for this I am sorry". The vision was said to have last ed 15 minutes. It first took form In the shape of a large white cross, the chaplain was told, and then the form of Jesus appeared. “His head was bowed and hls feot were crossed—all who saw agree on these details”, he said. “When It disappeared It did not drift away like clouds but vanish ed Instantly and entirely.” Other clouds in the sky were said to have drifted by while the vision remained stationary. Some who did not see It sug gested the vision might have re sulted from light on Ice crystals In the air, but there was no argu ment on any proffered explana tion.

They are unloading it on farflung beacheads and advance sup ply bases. Much of this equip ment is made wholly or in part from pulpwood. Nearly all of it is wrapped or packe i in paper and paperboard con tainers. Without enough pulpwood our Army and Navy will be severely handicapped at a time when victory may de pend* on their all-out effort abroad and ours at home. J Peeled Pulpwood is Needed . and Home Front needs require that every mill operate full time. This cannot be done without more pulpwood. If you have idle wood lands or can cut pulpwood, now is the time when you can serve yom country best and earn the most money for your work. If you delay, it may be too late.
