CONGRATULATIONS
! to the Newspapers
of America
ONCI more the free press of
America has shown its ability
to aid In overcoming the shortage of
an essential war material.
This country faced an acute shortage
of pulpwood. We users of pulpwood,
faced with increasing wartime de
mands for our products, realized the
disastrous effect on our war and
home front economics if the shortage
of our raw materials continued. This
problem, so vast in scope, so threat
ening in nature, had to be brought
to the attention of every man, woman
and child in pulpwood-producing
areas. The' job had to be done
quickly If the downward trend of pro
auction was to be reversed in time.
To help turn the tide, the Newspapers
of America have responded as only
the Free Press of a Free People could.
They have given their time, effort
and space to make people under
stand how much we needed pulp
wood—and why.
This whole campaign is an inspiring
example of Initiative and imagina
tion. It Is beginning to work, and we
In this industry are glad to acknowl
edge the help It has been to us in
meeting the nation's need for pulp
wood products. We are happy to
carry on with the newspapers, and
to do everything we can to make
their drive a success.

A STRAY BEAR
CREATED LOT OF
EXCITEMENT SON.

“The bear went over the moun
tain ...”
The particular bear in question
was one that caused more excite
ment in the Pisgah Forest section
Sunday just about church time
than a three-ring circus would
have caused.
Seems that a large black bear
was seen along the edge of the
woods near the Davis place in rear
of the new school house, and soon
every man around who had a sin
gle-shot .22 or a .306, double-barrel
shotgun, and in a few exceptions
pistols, turned out to get a shot
at the bruin that had evidently left
his habitat in Pisgah National For
est and came down to see how
people on the “other side of the
mountain” were getting along.
There were dogs a-barking and
a-trailing, young men along the
Boylston road, older ones along
the east side of the Davis woods,
and a sprinkling of all ages along
the Wave Morris road.
However, the bear evidently
knew just what he was doing and
just how to get away from the
small army, because he is said to
have (judging by tracks found
later in the afternoon) walked
right by the new Buck McCall res
idence up the steep highway
bank, and back into his haven in
the forest, leaving those chaps
who felt certain he would come
along via lower ground still wait
ing and hungry for bear meat that
is probably feasting today on
acorns and grubs which are said
to be plentiful just inside the
government boundary line.
Which is the most fattening
food—a big, juicy apple, a large
orange, a medium sized baking
powder biscuit, or a medium sized
baked potato? The home econo
mists say “they are all the same.”
