thusiasm displayed, but great things
can be expected from the organiZa-
ton during the year.
Mr.. Sullivan reiterated his state
ment that if the business and profess
sional men of Bogalusa would look
after the. little things, the Great
Southern Lumber Company and it's
allied interests would look after the
pig things-such as getting factories.

stated in a few well chosen words
that he was greatly impressed with
the business men of the city and that
N a short time he would begin the
operation of his plant here; that he
will come down from Indiana with his
sleeves rolled up, willing to help in
any movement for a greater Boga-
usa. 1t might be stated here that
Mr.. White expects to have his plant
IN operation about March 1. The
company will not only make broom
handles, but coat hangers, clothes
pins, bucket handles and a score of
1ther small articles which can be
made from small pieces Of pine.

necessity of every citizen taking an
interest in the reforestation work. He
said the Great Southern Lumber Co.
lad recently planted another 5000

state depends upon the interest we
now take in this work, said Mr.. Sulli-
Jan. He told of one boy in Wash
ngton parish who had recently COM

waste land with small pine trees.

suit could be accomplished by inter-
esting the boys of the state, citing
he results Of the Boys Pig Clubs.
