 "It is well for all of us in Nome to remember that 'here is an enormous amount of fighting and suffering and misery still ahead. When the shooting is far away on he other side of the world, it is much too easy for some of us to let the urgenc.es of our every day jobs obscure our part in the war. to cause us to forge' the terrible and compelling needs Of the men in the front lines.
 "We can help here in Nome, all of us, soldiers and civilians alike. The faster and better we do our work every day the more of us there are who will become available for vital work elsewhere and for assignment in the armies in the combat zones. The faster we unload ships at Nome the more shipping space we make available for the task forces that are engaging the Japanese in the south and central Pacific.
 By fighing his war in every phase of our daily work, every hour, every day, we can help ma- erially to bring closer the complete and final victory. And when that victory we will have proved again that the American pattern of life is sound, that there is great strength in our kind of Democ- racy which believes in and pro- tects our individual liberties to work, to play and to worship, freely and in peace, with all our neighbors.
 Recently, a tank officer, named It. Shatlain, had most of one foot shot off in battle with the Ger mans.

 Most of us can recall Hi'ler'S boast that the British Empire had been crushed and soon would dis integrate. We can remember when he announced tha- German arm ies in Moscow. Mussolini could no. keep his mouth shut either. Have any of you forgotten his dream of empire and his shouts that the Mediterranean was about to be- come an Italian lake? And then there was Tojo. He told his Jap countrymen that the infamous Pearl Harbor attack had com pletely smashed the American fleet and driven it from the Pa cific. Do you think Toio still be- lieves that fairy tale? Tojo also looked into his crystal ball in 1922 and proclaimed that the invasion of the Aleutian Islands was just a prelude to the conquest of all Alaska and of the western United States.
 They were wrong, all wrong, because they were guessing. They were guessing just as much as were those half-hearted Ameri- cans who predicted disaster for the United States and the United Nations because of the initial de- feats suffered m France, in Rus sia. in Africa, and in the Dutch East Indies, in Burma, at Pearl Harbor and on Bataan.
 "They were wrong, all of them because they sought to predict the future on the basis of the immediate present, because they had no understanding of democ- racy and no appreciation of the tremendous force and staying power that derives from self-gov ernment, freely exercised.
 "They were wrong because they were too blind to recognize the mighty shock-obsorbing strength that lies in American Democracy and in the kind of liberty that was given expression in the Amer ican Declaration of Independence They could not even imagine the great cushioning power that self government gives to a nation, the stamina to suffer defeats, to make mistakes and be honest in admit ting them, and then to come back more powerfully than ever to tri- umph.
 "The enemy leaders forgot the basic principle that one battle does not win a war. As a result, they blasted, they made predic- tions of early victory, and then they began to make blunders. Hit Ter blundered first when he de- cided Britain could not recover from France and Dunkirk and could be gobbled up wheneverm the fancy struck him. He blum dered next when he decided Ger many was so strong it could wage l war on two fronts and win, and invaded Russia. He blundered a third time when he wrote off America as an impo- tent democracy which could be kept out of the European war by German U-boa+s alone.
 '"As for Mussolini, his record is one of continuing blunders from the day of his first cowardly at tack on France. The Japanese rec

 Japan blundered again in plac ng reliance on its island de- lenses as permanent protection of the Jap homeland. Already, our significant Pacific fleets and ann phibious armies have knocked out many of the supposedly impregna- ble Jap strongholds and are now ranging unchallenged through most of the Pacific.
 The United Nations made plen- ty of blunders of their own and look some trerific whippingS in early days of the war, but they took them and kept right on fighting and planning and prepar- ing. They saw to it that the men and the weapons and the supplies necessary to crush the Axis were produced, on a scale so vast that the Axis would no longer even be- gin to keep peace.
 And on the actual battlefronts the armies and weapons of the United Nations have been used efficiently and well. Africa has been cleared. The enemy is be- ing chased out of Italy. The Red Army is hacking to pieces one Ma zi army after another in Russia and showing the remnants into rout. In the Pacific the Japs have long been busted from the Aleu-  tians, and more recently have been kicked out of most of New Gui- nea and the southwest Pacific. They have lost one island chain af.er another and are now losing one of their greatest bases, Saipan in the Marianas. They are losing in Burma. Their homeland is un- der bombardment We have the initiative on all Pacific fronts from Paramushiro 10 Burma, and we are asking the most of it.
 Finally, in France the armies of Hitler have been met in their own European backyard and are being beaten. The battle that be- gan on the beaches of Normandy early las. month will end with the conquest of Germany and the capture of Berlin. No reasonable man can predict how long it will take. But we are winning and will keep on winning. That much is sure. The end is in sight, and l hope earnestly and in all humil- ity hat 1t will not be too long delayed. that the cost of victory w'll not be too great.
 In any event the cost of this World War H. Is going to be high. The price alone in blood and mis- cry and suffering is beyond cal culation. Your families and mine and the families of our neighbors decent people who want to live in peace quietly and usefully-are paying for it. And none of us should ever forget that every wound, every dea'h, every bit of destruction is chargeable toi our enemies-to Germany, Japan, he Facists of Italy and the Quis- lingS of all countries.
 Tt is fitting that on Indepen- dence Day we should take note of he cost of winning while we re- ioice in our vic'o 'ories. The Amer ican kind of liberty is expensive, and rightly so. It has been earned by the struggle and courage and sacrifice of our American people

farm crops because it is not affec-
ted by drought or storms"
The committee pointed out that
even an abrupt ending of the
war in Europe will not halt the
demand for pulpwood because so
many mills will need to build up
for time trade.
''Most mills have little or no
inventories of pulpwood nova
days as consumption has been ex-
ceeding production since 1941,"
the committee said.
Finished paper stocks are low
or depleted, moreover, so that
there will be huge civilian de-
mand for paper and paper prod
ucts after the war. In addition,
many new uses for pulpwood fl
bre products have been developed
since Pearl Harbor and will no
doubt be turned to civilian uses. :"
The committee pointed out that
pulpwood cutting provides an ex-
cellen means of keeping workers
on the farm after field crops are
harvested, and it gives them a
profitable occupation on days
when other farm chores cannot be
performed.
''By far the greater number of
farm timber stands are in need of
Improvement by thinning" the
committee declared. ''Now is the
time to make that improvement
when you can help the war effort
and earn some extra cash, too"

the Northeast are substantially
better than a year ago. However,
inventories are still low compar-
ed with previous years, and mills
are expected to make every effort
to add to their inventories during
the coming Fall and Winter.
While this upward trend is en-
couraging, the WPB said, cur
rent receipts of pulpwood are
still tagging behind present needs
and anticipated military and es-
sential civilian requirements for
paper and other pulpwood prod
uctS.
Government officials are look
ing to the farmers for increased
cutting of pulpwood on farm
woodlots as soon as the harvest
ing of field crops has ended.
Many farmers have made up for
losses on field crops by cutting
more pulpwood, a cash farm crop
unaffected by drought or other
bad weather.

County Agent Urges Farmers
To Plan For Fall PulpwOOd

Now is the time for farmers
and owners of farm woodlands tc
make plans for harvesting their
fall crops of pulpwood, according
to Farm Agent R. H. Grouse
chairman of the Victory Pulpwood
Committee.
even though your field crops
may not be out of the way yet, it
is a good idea to get your pulp
wood trees marked early for fall
thinning of your woodland" the
committee said. Then you will
be ready to start cutting as soon
as field crops are in.
''Pulpwood is a farm crop that
can be turned quickly into cash
and harvested on days when you
can't work in the fields. There
is a ready market for it now be-
cause of the tremendous war re-
quirements for pulpWood prod
ucts.
Farm woodlands normally
provide a good share of the farm
income. Right now pulpwood is
one of the most important farm
crops because of the war needs
for pulpwood products. And it

Farmers Urged
To Continue To
Cut More Wood
Supply Still Behind Present
Need; Very Necessary In
War Effort

The Appalachian Regions pulp
wood production, which generally
has improved over 1943, must
continue at a high level the re-
mainder of this year if all war
needs for wood pulp and paper
are to be met, the Ashe County
Victory Pulpwood Committee was
advised this week.
The War Production Board, in
releasing report on mill receipts
of pulpwood during July, said:
''The generally improved cut
ting of pu1pwood must be sus-
tanned if adequate raw material
is to be available during the re-
mainder of this year to meet the
many important requirements of
wood pulp and paper in ensuing
months. To accomplish this task
strenuous efforts will have to be
continued to maintain labor in
the woods as we'll as to keep
trucks in operation"
Domestic receipts of pulpwood
in the Appalachian region during
July totaled $4,000 cords and
were slightly under June receipts.
eft is to be noted with some
concern" WPB stated, that re-
ceipts in the Appalachian region
declined during July more than
would normally be expected from
the seasonal trend for this region"
Of the total national receipts of
pulpwood in July, amounting to
$4,000 cords, domestic produc-
ton accounted for 1855, 900 cords.
Deliveries of domestically cut
pulpwood in July throughout the
country were 10 percent above
July, 1913, and 6 percent above
the same month in 1912.
