The Skyland Post Receives
PulpWOOd Drive Merit Award
PAPER Praised For Work Done
In Victory PulpwOOd
Drive

The Skyland Post has received
an award of merit for outstand-
ing contribution to the nations
war program and especially for
it's efforts to increase the produc-
ton of pulpwood during the
1913 Victory Pulpwood cam
paign.
The certificate of award is
published in this edition of the
Post.
"You have co-operated most
generously in the 1943 Victory
Pulpwood camaign and I am
happy to send you the enclosed
award of merit as a token of ap-
probation from the Newspaper
Pulpwood committee of the
American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association Walter Dear,
chairman of the committee, stat
ed
while we cannot yet estimate
the results of this newspaper
campaign in terms of pulpWood
production, I believe we can feel
justly proud of our record" he
stated. "Your newspaper, with
the support of your local pulp
wood committee and your county,
has performed a patriotic and vi
tai service for our country and
the men who are fighting for it's
preservation"
However, one doesn't rest on
ones record in wartime. Ger
tainly, the boys in uniform are
not quitting because the trend
has changed from Axis to Allied
attack. The war has not been
won as yet, and there are stiff
battles ahead on the home front,
as we'll as on the fighting fronts.
"Pulpwood is still a vital war
material, made scarce by the
manpower shortage. Our fight
ing forces will need it so long as
the war lasts, so long as there is
an American soldier on foreign
soil.
"The War Production Board, at
whose request we conducted the
1943 campaign, shortly will an
nounce 1914 goals based on esti-
mated military and essential civ
ilian requirements. Consequent
ly, I am asking for your contin-
ued support of the Victory Pulp
wood Campaign in 1914 through
the Influential columns of your
newspapers and the local pulp
wood committees that you have
formed"

War Activities
Take First Place;
Progress Is Next
Violent Deaths Show A De-
cline Over Previous Years;
Some Fatal Accidents
By Staff Writer

A review of the headlines of
The Skyland Post during 1943
show that activities related to war
were far ahead of all other news;
progress and development came
next with accidental deaths show
ing a decline.
War activities dealt with the
various drives, for Red Cross,
war funds, war bonds, food for
freedom, victory gardens, scrap,
as we'll as others. This was aside
from men leaving for military
service each month, being CLASH
fled, winning medals, being in
jured, held prisoners, or killed.
In the progress and develop
ment of the county the most out
standing events, probably includ-
ed the establishment of the
farmers bean and vegetable
market, with w. G. Vannoy as
president and J. E. Roland, as
secretary and treasurer; begin
ming of vocational agriculture in
the high schools; starting of nine
months school terms and the
surveys made Of the mineral pos
sibilities of the county.
The weather took a back seat
in the headlines and there was a
decrease in violent and acciden-
tai deaths. The two which pos
sibly occupied the most interest
in the news were those of Fred
Blevins, former legislator and
Worth w. Davis Both lost their
lives when cars left the high
ways.
A brief review of some of the
news of possibly the most interest
to the majority of the people,
from month to month, is given
here:

Wants TO Know Whether
TO Marry Navy Man

War Problem Clinic:
My fiance is in the navy and
is 20 years old; 1 am Is. He
probably won't get another leave
until fall, and my question is
whether or not TO marry him at
that time.
Although my parents are I'M
certain about wartime marriages.
they both agreed they would not
interfere. Mother is planning TO
give me an elaborate wedding.
ON the other hand, my ffance's
parents are against such a step
and are quite upset about the
matter.
l am graduating next January
from high school and L plan to
complete my education whether 1
marry or not.
My fiance has always been
more or less the pet" of his fam
lily, and this makes the situation
even harder to deal with. Young
people are apt 10 make great mis-
takes in time of war, but l guess
one doesn't stop 10 think when
love enters his life.

spect. I am thinking Of such a
person as your family physician,
minister, your husbands plant
boss, an old friend OF the FAM
lily, or the like. II
DO not let your husband
know that YOU have appealed
To such a person for help, but
try tO-get the friend 10 approach
your husband as II IL were OF
his own accord. IL Is quite
probable that your husband has
problems that he only vaguely
understands and which family
friend might be able TO "smOke
out" and help To solve.
In the drinking field, AlcO-
hOlics Anonymous, 404 Park
Avenue Bldg, Detroit, an or
ganiZatiOn that includes many
former alcoholics, has done a
lot Of useful work with such
men as your husband. / would
suggest that YOU also take the
matter up with them.
