Sound Pulpwood Badly Needed For
War Supplies. Paper Official Says

] -
Our lighting men deserve the
best OF everything, whether il be
guns Of supplies made of pulp
wood Earl Porter, of Interna-
tional Paper Company, Southern
Kraft Division, Mobile, Ala, said
today in appealing for greater
pulpwood production for war
rom this area, We need lots Of
pulpwood to fill wartime orders,
but we cannot make the best
quality pulp and pulpwood prod
ucts out Of unsound wood.
Rotten or burnt pulpwood is
worthless because if used, the
defects show up in the products
made for Uncle Sam and essen
tial Home Front industries. The
government can't use defective
products, Of course, and that's
why mill buyers are required to
reject unsound pulpwood
No farmer would send rotten
vegetables or spoiled dairy prod
ucts to market. He knows better
and he can readily appreciate,
therefore why rotten, badly
trimmed, charred or very crook
ed wood is better left uncut" Mr..
Porter said.
The mill official explained that
burnt wood is particularly bad be-
cause charcoal does not bleach.
"The charcoal breaks up into
thousands of grains" he said,
each Of which will make a
black Speck on the paper. One
can understand why this would
be ruinous, for example, in the
manufacture Of map paper for
the Army and Navy. Such a
product must necessarily be free
of all blemishes.
Trees containing staples or
nails or wire also are not suit
able, Mr.. Porter said, because
metal left in wood stains the
wood and renders 1t unfit for use.
Farmers cutting wood should be
careful about leaving any metal
in wood for still another reason, !"
he added. 'sIf a stick containing
metal should get into the chip
per, or other machinery at the
mill, It might cause serious dam
age and thus retard pulp produc-
tion. -
eThe shortage in pulpwood,
which is now as much a vital war
material as steel. aluminium, or
rubber, is due to the scarcity of
wood cutters. Consequently, any
wasted effort devoted to cutting

 Is there anything sillier than ar guments about whether it is short war or a long one? Don't you re- alize that for those who fight the shortest war is always too long? Isn't it annoying to know it was easier to conquer Italy when it was our enemy than liberate it now that it is our friend? Did you notice that those indicted as sub versives (who are avowed democracy haters) eagerly took advantage ot their democratic rights to get a mistrial?
