C Wood Pulp Becomes 44Armor” For Deadly 105’s Fanners, And Others, Urged To Co-operate In Supply ing Needed Demand Wood pulp from North Caro lina is playing a vital role in sup plying the raw material for es sential war items. As an instance of what North Carolina wood pulp can contri bute to national armament, 73 million of the paper “suits of ar mor” encasing the 105 mm. shells used with such deadly effect against the enemy in Africa could be obtained from the 179 thousand tons of the material produced annually, according to estimates approved by the Amer ican Paper and Pulp Association. The slim-waisted 105 mm. shells were used to reduce enemy em placements in Tunisia to rubble, stop infantry attacks and knock out the Panzer MVI tanks, re garded by the Nazis as one of their most invincible weapons, dispatches from the front stated. The technique of developing mass production of the paper con tainers which guard the 105’s un til they go into action from the mouths of long-nosed howitzers originated in peacetime food packages, such as cartons com monly used for cocoa, salt and other products. Asked by Wash ington officials to develop pro duction methods which would as sure an adequate source of sup ply, the American Can Company reports it has delivered almost 100 million of the paper “suits of armor” to hold as many shells to help smash the Axis war ma chine. Today, wood pulp has become such an esesntial war material that the government is sponsor ing a campaign to increase the supply. This paper is co-opera ting in the campaign and urges the co-operation of all farmers, land owners and others.

I visited seven farmers during the week, and one agreed to cut saw logs for sale at the roadside. One agreed to work up the tops, fol lowing a sawtimber cut of 260, 000 board feet on his place. “Three agreed to thin young stands and sell the thinnings as pulpwood. Two of these men are going to do their own truck ing to the railroad and the other will sell his pulpwood on the roadside. These owners will use a total of 20 men, not counting themselves.” Cheese is milk in concentrated form. It is high in food value. Cheese is also an excellent source of vitamins A and G, some B1 and a little D. The home economists have fi gured out that five ounces of American (Cheddar) cheese are about equal to a quart of milk. It’s no wonder that cheese was one of the first foods that England asked the United States to send across the Atlantic. It will serve as the main dish for a meal and can be used as a flavorful and nu tritious addition to an oven dish, soup, or sauce. Macaroni-and-cheese Is a fa vorite dish. There's cheese with spaghetti, rice, grits, or corn meed. Cheese can be melted and served on crisp toast or crackerB. To make it “tops,” you need a dash of cayenne or paprika. Some people like to add onion juice for high flavor. Cheese makes it easy for you to use vegetables as a main dish. It goes especially well in scallop ed potatoes, cabbage, corn, or a mixture of vegetables. A tangy, cheese sauce dresses up cooked broccoli, cauliflower, or aspara gus. For cooking our food, experts recommend the kind called Am I erican or Cheddar cheeae. But you’ll find that this cheese has lots of flavor variations. There's the fresh American cheese—mild in flavor and soft in texture. The older cheese has a sharper, more tangy flavor, and it’s usually dry and crumbly. The home economists say thal you shouldn’t “cook” cheese at all—just heat enough to melt it Otherwise, the cheese is almost certain to get tough and stringy. To blend cheese with other foods you must grate it or shave it thin. efts,#*! \ V I NEVE*. I / OF P&PDLI - /-ecx (MOT WITH SUCH FIKIB !
