Wil lard, as chairman of the County Fuel Administration, as coal is expected to be scarcer and more costly during the winter to come than during that now passing, and the following on the subject is hot amiss: "The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued a bulletin in which they emphasize the fact it is impossible to know how much coal there will be for general fuel pur poses next year. The enormous de mands made upon both coal produ cers and transportation companies will probably make the shortage more widespread and severe than this year. They advise very strongly that those communities that have the wood around them provide some time during the season a sufficient supply shall be cut and hauled so as to be easily available for next winter. They also advise very strongly that a mu nicipal wood yard shall be in opera tion in every town and at work build ing up the reserve for next winter. "The State Fuel Administration of New York, foreseeing an embargo on coal next winter to those communities which have access to supplies of wood, have inaugurated a vigorous campaign to build up a wood supply in every community in the State of New York so they may be provided against lack of fuel next winter. In fact, it is very probable that coal will simply be refused to those communi ties which can get wood and there is no town better situated to secure an ample supply of wood than Wilming ton. "The United States Department also refers to the action of the Conserva tion Commission of Canada where they have established a definite or ganization for utilizing the large sup ply of wood available, for fuel. They are prevailing on the City and Muni cipal governments to go Into the mat" ter definitely and invest a moderate amount of money in building P a re serve of wood whenever the coal shortage makes it necessary. "The County Fuel Administration of New Hanover county cannot urge too strongly upon householders and others the necessity of providing now for as great a supply of wood tor next wintftr'e na oc rtrva&ihta T is nnt only probable that our comnunjity period with START INVESTIGATION OF HOG ISLAND YARD EXECUTIVE BOARD NAMED AT MEETING Lutheran Campaign For War Relief Funds is on. in Full Blast .
