It is estimated that in the South 45 percent of the saw-log production Monies from larnis. cikewise a survey by the V\ui Production Board indicates that farm woodlands produce 59 pci cent of the production of pulp wood. With the timber industry ham pered by labor and equipment shortages, farm woodlands will nave to produce a large, part oi the growing needs for woods and wood products. However, Seitz caution. agaiiisti'uthless clear cutting ot woodlands. Woodland owners are being asked to cin and sell their timber now while the need is urgent, lie says, but they are also being- asked to observe good forestry practices while cutting it. He urges formers to cut their trees on a selective basis, remov ing only mature trees, and dis eased. limby, and knotty ones. Such a cutting system will leave ample growing room and stock for future timber crops.

A. Krug, Director of the Office of War Utilities, to confine Christmas lighting decorations to Christmas trees inside private homes. Mr. Krug asked that street decorations, com munity Christmas trees, exterior home decorations and interiors and exteriors of commercial establish ments dispense with decorations this year in- I sofar as lighting is concerned. “Government and industry have combined in a nationwide conservation campaign to save critical fuels and materials necessary to produce and con sume electricity,” he said. I am asking the American people to refrain from their Christmas lighting custom as a part of that campaign. Electric light bulbs are particularly short at present and strict conservation of them is necessary. Widespread consumption of bulbs dur ing the Christmas season merely will mean a greater scarcity later on. “Because of the shortness of daylight over most of the country at Christmas time, necessary con sumption of electricity is at its peak. Everything we can do to avoid any additional LOAD will mean direct savings of fuel, manpower, transportation and materials.” Mr. Krug said no mandatory order was con templated because “the American people realize the necessity of this conservation and will do it.” Town of Cherry ville ALFONSO BEAM, Clerk
