THE OFFICIAL. PAPER FOR LINCOLN COUNTY

that work but it needed to be done
in carrying out valuable program
Of forest development and conserva-
ton. The men who have done the
planting in the past are not now
to be had. They are, in other and
more vital labors. So twas neces-
sary to ask the high school boys to
take up the job. And thirty Of them
responded to the call. 1t has meant
a little money for the young men
and few days of exercise in the
wholesome out-of-doors.
No, the work wasn't heroic but
lit was valuable work for which
there was a real need. The boys
did asgood job and upheld their end
of the load to that extent in days
Of labor shortage. That's the
spirit that builds nations and wins
victories.

If q Log
Had q Squeol

Long ago it was said that the big
meat packers used everything OF
the hog except the squeal. It now
begins to look as though lumber
men would be equally efficient in
converting their raw resource into
useful and money-producing prod
ucts
The lumber industry is conduct
ing extensive research into possible
tiles Of converting waste into in
come. The results are marvellous.
To say the least, they are highly
interesting Some of this research
gives promise of making radical
changes in methods that have been
in use for many years in the log
ging and lumber industry
The latest innovation has received
considerable space in news columns
of late. The story brings the in
formation that our pine forests are
able to produce not only logs and
saWdust and bark and debris but
sugar and alcohol as well. We have
long known that a delicious sugar
could be produced from tree
maple sugar-but the impression
has been that pitch and turpentine
were the natural products of pine
tree. Now all that is changed. The
chemist has discovered that our pine
trees carry large amount OF sugar
and he has also worked out process:
whereby that sugar can be extract
ed from wood waste. There are ton.
of sugar waiting to be extracted
from every acre of forest land. Thu
sugar can be converted into indus
trial alcohol and used in the manu-
facture of explosives and in man,
other ways.
Sawdust is now used to manu-
facture Pres to-logs. Turpentin
pours forth from some pine tract
as a by-product. And now suga
and alcohol are to be added to wha
comes out of saWmill If a 10
had squeal, we're wagering tn
lumbermen would make some us
of it and thereby surpass the bi
packers in efficiency.

Even as these words ars printed,
tens of thousands may be keeping

other men and women must pick up
the threads of life, and live on
through endless tomorroWs. Ameri-
cans, English, and French-Teuton
and Slav, Chinese and japanese
all must try again to weld them
selves into one world.
What kind Of world will it be-
that world delivered from Fascist
terror by the greatest blood bath
of all time?
Our leaders must strive unceas-
ingly to make it indeed brave new
world where jobs and mass produc-
ton techniques will provide such {
standard of living that the grea'
peoples of mankind may be conten
to live and labor in peace. We mus
choose as our motto the words at
tributed to our beloved Washington

opened 157 years ago this May
the convention that made Americ;
