it addresses its warning ia par
tcuIar to those communities
and localities that are sur
rounded BY wooded reserves.
John q. O'KeiIey has issued
the following to the local fuel
committees of the state:
CORD WOOD FOR NEXT
WINTER"
We have practically passed
through this winter, and the
indications are that wa will get
through without having expert
enced serious hardship or SUI
fering. However, next winter
Is going to be the rub" and
we must now begin to prepare
against q fuel shortage.
1 know Of no more effective
way in which you can serve
your community as a represent
alive Of the Fuel Administra-
ton, than to exercise all of
your resourcefulness in induc-
ing your municipalities, your
parishes, your wood dealers,
and the farmers to secure the
cutting of all cord wood pos
sible, with a view of supplying
the demand for wood which we
are sure to have next winter.
This work should be begun
now and continued through the
spring and summer months,
and every possible day that
may be spared from farming
or other operations should be
utilized in cutting cord wood.
The United States Depart
hent of Agriculture has just
ssued the following statement.
Build TIP Wood Fuel Reserves
There is one feature Of the
present coal shortage which
should be constantly kept in
mind by people with wood sup
plies around them. 1t is this, be
early in the season and dill
gent in building UP an ample
wood fuel reserve for next win
ter, Should the shortage Of
coal be more widespread, more
marked, and last longer next
winter, as there is every pro-
mise Of its doing. there would
he no excuse for wooded To-
calities not having fuel. Fur
thermore, the logical step to
conserve the coal in such a
crisis would be to place an alb
solute embargo on the shipping
and use of Coal in such COM
munities where wood could be
used. With the prospect ahead
that such d step would certain
Iy be taken by the Fuel Admin
istration in an emergency next
winter, let each community
get in a supply now when the
labor is more free to work at
it than later in the season or
the beginning Of next winter.
Even in normal times it should
be remembered that there are
two chances for failure of the
coal supply: Cd Decrease in
production due to various fac
tors and (2) a tie-up in trans
portation. When these hap-I
pen in normal times they
cause trouble. Under war
conditions we have had an ex-
ample of how they can be en-
phasized.
Do not depend upon coal for
next winter. Have wood ready
and you are protected"
The department of agricul
ture also quotes the following
from the chief for
ester Of the conservation COM
mission of Canada, who speaks
the experience of a coun-
try that has been at war for
three and q half years:
There must be some def
mite organization for utilizing
The large supplies of wood
available for fuel. My idea is
that the city and municipal
governments ought to go into
