Now On Of particular interest in this area are recent announcements by the War Production Board, which make it clear that cut-backs in war production already taking place in many industries will not reduce the . output . of. products manufactured from North Caro lina puSpwood. The demand for Woodpufp, Coh'tainerDoardr"nd Paper continues heavy not only for military requirements, but for coming civilian needs as well. The continued necessity for pro duction was indicated by the WPB 'last week in placing Container- vaT a cii,. wdpulonlhe, NonaT auction Urgency List. This means that manufacturers of these pro ducts are emiuea to the highest urgency ratings when seeking to replace moor uosses or to increase the number' of employees for ad' I wuviiai iuuuwuuiL xntrse pro ducts and materials are urgently uiuonai proaucuon. These pro- needed to meet the increasing packaging aemanas or the Armv. Navy and essential industries. Re cording to Benton R. Cancell, Di rector of the WPB Forest Pro ducts Bureau. In discussing war production cut-backs. James A. Krug. Chair man of the WPB, urged displaces workers to take jobs in such es sential industries as logging, pa per, Woodpulp, paperboard and packaging, etc. He announced a plan to increase production in these industries 20 percent, admit ting that they have been deprived of ncessary manpower and equip ment during the period of ex treme shortage.

This leaves only one nurse in the de partment. Mrs. Abbott and Tom Waters, the Sanitary Inspector. Mrs. Abbott has just retumea 10 work after eleven days absence due to an arm operation. Members of the Health Board stated they fear Duplin will be without a health officer for the du ration. It was suggested at one time, prior to Dr. Woodburn s co ming, that Sampson end . Duplin operate under one health officer but sentiment in uupun was utu nitely opposed to such an idea and it appears the same feeling ex ists today. It was suggested by one board member that possibly Dup lin could tie in with Lenoir Coun ty and secure part time service of their health officer. er Urgency List And Pap war construction and output of packaging and paper material will be delayed.
