duction, I believe we can feel
justly proud of our record,” he
stated. “Your newspaper, with the
support of your local pulpwood
committee and your community,
has performed a patriotic and vital
service for our country and the
men who are fighting for its pres
ervation.
“However, one does not rest on
one’s record in wartime. Certainly,
the boys in uniform are not quit
ting because the trend has changed
from Axis to Allied attack. The
war has not been won as yet, and
there are stiff battles ahead on the
home front, as well as on the
fighting fronts.
“Pulpwood is still a vital war
material, made scarce by the man
power shortage. Our fighting forces
will need it so long as the war
lasts, so long as there is an Amer
ican soldier on foreign soil.

Acre plan. Clarke spent the spring
climbing the hillsides of North
Carolina, presenting the idea per
sonally to scores of mountain
churches, regardless of denomina
tion. He pointed out that while the
members were short on cash, they
were also long on land . . . land
that might be cultivated not only
in the name of the Lord, but for
the Lord, the proceeds to go to
the church budget, according to
Coronet.
Although slow to root, the
movement once started spread rap
idly. Under a flexible plan of
procedure, the Lord’s Acre project
takes on many different forms.
In North Carolina, a 10-year-old
boy tended a raspberry patch for
three years to contribute a total
of $68 to his church. Women in
the state set aside the eggs their
hens laid on Sunday and at the
end of the year had $100 to con
tribute.
