and to discourage waste, the
Newspaper Pulpwood Committee
and its 1850 local committees
have advised farmers and would
be pulpwood cutters to consult
their country agricultural agents or
foresters before turning their wood
lots into arsenals of war.
Mill specifications for pulpwood
vary in different regions of the
country; so that a farmer should be
sure market is available for his
pulpwood before he cuts his trees.
With waste paper, almost any kind
IS acceptable providing it is properly
stacked and bundled. The newspaper
drive is concentrated in metropol-
itan areas, however, because city
residents are the largest users of
paper and therefore the largest pro-
ducers of waste paper. And because
dealers are present in cities to COL
lect waste paper.
There is an abundance Of waste
paper in the home, in the store, and
in the factory. But most of this
never reaches the mill. Wartime
shortages of manpower and trans
portation equipment have been so
acute that the flow of waste paper
to the mills has been cratic.
Paper is at War
The Newspaper Committee Of
the U. S. Victory Waste Paper
Campaign is striving to increase
this flow of waste paper to the
mills one-third, or 1877 900 tons
month. The War Production Board
estimates that over 1850, 900 tons of
salvable paper are available every
month, and that half of this-or
667 900 tons-wil keep the mills run
ming at peak production. Before the
newspaper drive they were getting
only about 100000 tons month.
The pulpwood goal fro 1914 Is
100000 cords of domestic pulp
wood. This is the bare minimum
needed to keep our war machine
and essential industries function
ing in wartime. Some 1400 news
papers are actively enlisting
pulpwood cutters.
The War Production Board is
not asking that volt I GERS In
these drives donate either their
time or their goods. Peak prices
are paid for pulpwood by the
mills or their buyers, and for
waste paper by t he dealers. SO
farmers who cut pulpwood and
housewives who have their news
papers, magazines, and wrapping
paper may earn extra income
while they contribute substan-
TALLY to the winning of the war.
For paper and pulpwood have
gone to war.

No more pathetic cases present
themselves to the personal councillor
than those whose only technique in
handling their problems is to trust
In the strength of their volition. Into
the tackling of any difficult situa-
ton they put their wills; determine

only resource.
Soon or late, however, they face
problems to which such a technique
is utterly inapplicable. When emo
tional disorder comes, as in neu-
rasthenia or melancholia, the harder
one tires, the worst off one is, like
a kitten in skein Of yarn, who is
the more entangled the more it
struggles.
The religious counselor goes
deeper. The only adequate method
of handling those areas of expert
ence where volition Is inapplicable
Is the use of another technique al
together. These persons cannot lift
themselves out. They must. be lifted
In all such situations a non-voli-

The sense of inner inadequacy
to meet LIES demands Is one Of the
commonest causes of personal dis
Indignation. Nothing crumbles one
one up more quickly than the feeling
of helplessness. Anyone feeling
about his trouble, I cannot stand it.,
or about his work, cannot do it.,
and so facing the danger of going
to pieces, must see that the attain
ment of a strongly-knit, coherent
personality presents a power-ques-
ton.
1t takes inner reserves of power,
available for daily use, the con-
seriousness of which brings con-
fidence, security, and courage. Peo-
pie come to the minister who have
consulted SO many psychiatristS al
ready that they know their diagnosis
by heart, but for all that are shaken
and disorganized. Under the stress
Of their problems they feel like
trees in high wind with thin root
age. They have no interior backing
and do not know where to find 1t;
and this sense of basic inadequacy
renders futile whatever good advice
can be given them.
The shattering effect of depleted
nervous resources may be a tran
sient episode in the life of per-
son who on the whole is well or
gained, but the absence Of spiritual
resources is likely to present a more
constant problem. A man feels
chronically insufficient. He has no
access to reserves Of personal power
that he can count upon. His typical
reaction In the presence Of a difficult
task Is that he cannot do 1t, and
in the presence Of heavy trouble that
he cannot stand 1t.
Every living creature exists by as
similating and releasing power from
beyond itself.
AS truly as tree exists by means
Of chemical assimilation through
roots and leaves, our physical organ

priated power, their energies alb
sorbed from sunshine, air, and food.

washington, D. C.-Three young

Gently cited by the payroll savings
section Of the War Finance Division
of the Treasury Department as ex-
amples of about support of the
war bond program. They do their

carefully to see how little they can

cent into War Bonds every pay day.

I'VE aren't cashing them in right

The war has awakened many peo-
pie to the fact that our vast forest
lands constitute one of our greatest
natural resources.
Germany was one of the first
countries to recognize the vast
possibilities of pulpwood in mod
ern warfare. Wood has been de-
scribed as the secret weapon
of the Nazis because it has enabled
them to wage a war without an ade-
quate amount of critical materials
heretofore considered essential.
The forests were the guideposts
of the Nazis in their early con-
quests of Europe, and pulpwood
products have been their salvation.
Wood fuel, substituting for petrol
cum the Germans failed to get from
the Caucasus, runs part of the Nazi
war mahcine. Pulp cellulose, saw
dust and other wood products help
to feed, clothe and house the people
Of Germany and the conquered ma
tons, and their livestock.
The Nazis call wood Universal
RohStoff" or the material that will
do everything.
Intelligent Planning
It has been only in recent years
that America started to preserve
its forests in the sense of replanting
trees or acres of woodland from
which pulpwood and lumber have
been harvested. Now, however, there
is no danger of denuding our for
ests to feed the gods of war
Through intelligent planning, as
many new acres are turned into
woodlands as are cleared, and in
most instances tracts are thinned by
selective cutting, rather than
cleared, thus permitting young trees
to develop.
To encourage proper cutting
