The Southern Pulpwood Conser
vation Association announces a
jnew forertry educational project
for the farm youth to be financed
, by the pulp and paper industry of
the South. Forestry training
camps are not entirely new In the
South since several states have op-
era ted them for years but this is
the first unified effort by a wood
using Industry to spread them to
all southern states. ; -;
The Union Bag and Paper Cor-
poration and the Brunswick Pulp

fires, collect seed and raise their
. own seedlings. And . by actual
training, learn to select and judge
trees xwhich should be cut for var

' tered the ' store that night,

; By C. E. Quinn
-National Democratic Chairman,
Robert E. Hannegan, of Misouri,
addressed North Carolina s Jet
ferson Day Dinner at 7:00 o'clock,
Saturday night of June 2, in the
Sir Walter Hotel in Raleigh.
State Senator Joe Blythe, of
Charlotte, Democratic State fi
nance Chairman, was in charge
and presided at the meeting, the
purpose of which was to raise the
State's annual quota of the Na
tional Campaign Fund. The funds
had previously been raised and
sent in by the Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Commit
tee's in the 100 counties.
National Chairman, Hannegan,
who will be sworn in as Postmas
ter General of the United States
on June 30th, on his birthday,
spoke of the job of shifting from
war (when the war with Japan
is won) to peace economy without
a business slump. "That won't be
easy" Hannegan said, "but with .
men from every walk of life
ready and eager to cooperate
with the new administration in
every way they can, and I have
certainly found them to be, wher
ever I have met them, and with
an administration prepared to
give every constructive encour
agement to business, labor and
agriculture in going after this ob
jective, I believe we can get over
the different problems of recon
version without slipping into any
downward spiral."
"I hope and believe the empha
sis will shift in this role of gov
ernment toward cooperation and
support and away from control in
the merely negative sense. And
the beneficiaries of such a shift
will include both industry and la
bor, both farmer and consumer."
"You businessmen will have no
difficulty im making yourselves
heard in Washington," he declar
ed, "such was the case under Pres
ident's Roosevelt's war administra
tion. Such will be the case under
the present administration of
President Truman."
"I am not speaking as a mem-
er ' the President's Cabinet, I
have not yet been sworn in as
Postmaster General. I do speak
to you as Chairman of the Demo-
- cratic National Committee. I am
not unacquainted with President
Truman, and I have no hesitation
in saying to you that, second only
to victory and lasting peace, the
ODjectlve is close to his heart to
see American business in cooper
ation with labor, agriculture and
government - make good in its
endeavor to keep our people pros
perous and employed."
Hannegan "pointed out that the
American business man of today
has three duties and responsibili
ties to produce something or to
perform some service, to make a
profit and his part in keeping men
employed.
He urged the people of Ameri
ca to support President Truman
by fighting and working for the
program on which the Demo
cratic Party sought to remain in
power, pointing out that the pro
gram of the Democratic Party is
one on which the freedom, the
safety, and the lived of Democrats
and Republicans alike are depen
dent - a program of working to
ward speedy victory, lasting
peace, and full employment after
the war. . A
"Your party has kept faith
with you, as you have kept faith '
with it," Hannegan stated In that
faith ye are strong and united.
Your party will inarch ahead with
the people of this nation, a secure
and prosperous people."
Among the guests from Wash
ington were U. S. Senator Jos
iah W. Bailey, of N. C; Leslie
Biffle, Secretary of the Senate;
George Killlon, Treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee;
