Uncle Sam is Asking for Help
in Ship Yards.

Leigh Carroll, Manager Gulf
Division, is in receipt of telegram
from Harvey y. Gibson, General
Manager, American Red Cross,
Washington, urging that an appeal
be made to all Chapters and MEM
bers Of the Red Cross to rally to the
support of the government shipping
program.
The effectiveness of Red Cross"
says Mr.. Gibson, AS well as
the supplying of the Armies of the
Uuited states and those of its Allies
with materials, and the consequent
winning of the War depends largely
upon shipping facilities and the
carrying out of the Shipping Board s
program"
Necessary ship yards and materials
for construction and funds to carry
on the work have already been pro-
vided by the government. All that
is lacking is the enlistment of suf-
/ ficient skilled labor, and knowledge
of the need Of such will create a
spirit in the nation that will insure
ships being built at once. To pro
vide necessary labor the Shipping
Board, in cooperation with the
Public Service Reserve, is enrolling
$50, 900 men for service in the shiI
yards. 1t is understood that the
men are not to be called to the shir
yards at once, but will be person
ally notified when wanted. The
men are being enrolled by tn,

A Wood Fuel Reserve For
Next Winter.

From all over the country both
north and south come reports OF
widespread interest in getting out
wood for fuel to take the place oi
the coal shortage. On short notice
there has been considerable diff
Guilty in getting the wood in suitable
form for fuel and transporting it to
market. This should bring sharply
t. mind the necessity of being pre-
pared well in advance where this
form of fuel must be used. There is
too much feeling, even in spite of
the acute condition in severe weather
that this is only a temporary affair
and that another year plenty OF coal
will be available. No one knows
how much coal there will be for
general fuel purposes next year.
With the enormous demands being
made upon both coal and transpor-
tation, there is no likelihood that
there will be any great abundance
and a very good chance that the
shortage may be more widespread
and severe than this year. 1t is only
a matter of good business foresight
for those communities who have
the wood around them to see that
some time during the season a sui
ficient supply is cut and hauled
where it could be easily available
as a reserve next winter. The time
to cut it is right now before the
spring season opens, as it will have
time to season thoroughly by next
winter and can be done now with
out diverting labor from other inn
portant work. Use the waste wood
for fuel which cannot be used for
other purposes.
In many cities and towns muni-
cipal woodyards have been started
and are working very successfully.
Such a yard should be in operation
in every town where wood can be
obtained and at work building up a
reserve for next winter. Those To-
cally responsible for the government
of towns and communities should
take early action and see that this is
done, or some similar means en-
ployed to ward off fuel shortage
another year.
There is some talk among the
State Administrators in regard to
an embargo on coal ,ncxt winter to
those who have access to supplies
of wood. In short, coal will simply
be refused to those who can get
wood. With this prospect held
out, we want to have a vigorous
campaign to build up a wood fuel
supply in every community in the
state and thus be protected against
the lack of coal next winter.
Yours truly,
C.. l. TOwNFs.

sense of proportion is painfully de-
