Tompkins With 29th Division ‘ Twenty-Ninth Infantry Divi sion—Pfc. Paul J. Tompkins, of Eunice, has received a certificate personally signed by his com manding general honoring him for fighting with the Twenty Ninth Infantry Division from D Day to St. Lo. The honor is a personal salute from Maj. Gen. Charles H. Ger hardt to the officers and men who battered their way through flooded areas and the Normandy hedgerows and stormed the key city of St. Lo in a campaign where the taking of every 500 yards was a major battle. The Army reckons the Nor mandy fighting as one campaign, which entitles participants the one star on their theater ribbons, but General Gerhardt’s certifi cate recognizes the unusual toughness of the fighting.

Plans submitted from the 100 counties in North Carolina by the , agents show that 2,452 field crop demonstrations are planned as compared with 1,034 last year. The increase will come with such crops as grains, legumes and pas tures. Corn leads all other crops with a total of 575 demonstrations to show how average yields of corn In North Carolina may be greatly TODAY farmers ar.d mill crews are pro ducing pulpwood for war, the trees they cut going into the manufacture of smokeless powder, shell containers, V-Boxes and a host of other pulpwood products. Tomorrow they will produce pulpwood for peacetime prod ucts, including houses. For out in Appleton, Wis., where the Institute of Paper Chemistry is located, ex-, perimenters have recently succeeded in com pleting the first paper house. Born of the need for emergency housing, the paper structure is a snug, one-room affair accommodating four persons. Its sidewalls, roof and floor are collapsible so that it can he folded into a package weighing little more than a 1,000 pounds, making it easy to trans port. It can be set up in 59 minutes, and disassembled in half an hour. Treated so that it is fire-resistant, the build ing is all waterproof paper, except for 49 pounds glue, metal fasteners and a little wood in the window frames. Windows are cellulose and even the shades are paper. THE PAPER HOUSE IS ASSEMBLED The paper house is small and attractive— 16 feet long, eight feet wide and eight feet high. Its roof is pentagon-shaped. Furnish ings also include some paper such as the rug, cups and plates. Heat comes from a small coal stove. THE HOUSE IN PACKAGE FORM Tests proved the novel paper structure can withstand a gale of 60 miles an hour. The roof withstood a more than 6,000-pound load, proof that it would not give way under snow, The house has a lifetime of four full seasons and more. After the war the paper house probably will be used to solve the shelter needs oi homeless people until there are time and ma« terial. to build permanent homes. Uncle Sam* other governments and relief agencies hav| already displayed interest in this respect. Until then, however, the paper house at Ap« pleton will remain the only one of its kind. For pulpwood itself is at war today, and all available machinery for making pulpwood products is going full tilt on war jobs. ncreased when a five-point pro gram of improved practices is jut into operation. There will be 440 farm-wide otations for increased yields, ;oil conservation and control of liseases and insects. In 4-H club activities the num )er of agronomy participants is )ut at 7,862 as compared with 5, >96 in 1944. Here again corn leads vith 4,421 demonstrations and obacco in second place with 1, 59 projects. In addition to the 4-H club lemonstrations, the county agents 100 growers in connection with heir plans for increased yields md better quality of field crops.

Trmnry Dtpmrtuwe# Mother’s God as their God and now have the assurance that “all is well with my soul.” Her health had been declining for several years. For the past four months she was a great suf ferer, but she bore her afflictions with great patience until she peacefully fell asleep in the arms of Jesus to awake in the likeness of Him in the lovely morning of th Resurrection. It was her request that she be laid to rest in the cemetery at Liberty Baptist church with her father and mother. Her husband has lost a loving companion, the home a kind and benevolent mother, the church a close follower of Christ, the com munity a real citizen.
