RlECEL COMPANY
PREPARING SURVEY

The Riegel Paper company, OF
New York, owner Of extensive pine
bearing lands in this section is
now conducting surveys to deter
mine the feasibility OF building a
multi-million dollar pulp and paper
factory in Columbus county.
Confirmation Of the surveys came
yesterday from Walker Hamilton,
vice president of Riegel in a tele'
phone conversation with a repre-
sentative of the Star-News.
Stressing that the surveys are
purely exploratory to secure
data on soil, water, availability OF
labor and transportation, Hamilton
said the findings would be present
ed to the management of the COM
pany and would have IAN impor-
tant bearing on the decision" to
build a plant proposed for that
area.
Surveys are being centered in the
vicinity of Acme, in the eastern
portion of Columbus county, be-
tween State Highway 81 and the
Black River. Riegel owns approx
imately 100000 acres of pine tim
Der land in Columbus, Brunswick
and Pender counties, boundaries
of which meet in the vicinity OF
Acme.
Hamilton was non-committal as
to a date when the surveys would
be completed. Somewhat similar
surveys, though not soexhaustive
in detail, were conducted several
years ago, Hamilton revealed. The
war interrupted the companys S
further expansion, it was explain
ed.
When, the initial surveys were
made it was understood that the
company, which operates widec
in New England states, tentatively
proposed plant approaching $4,-
OO0, 900 figure.

Day ByDay
UNBUILT JERUSALEM
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Nobody else, so far as I am
aware, has called attention to the
fact that within the old walls OF
Jerusalem lie unoccupied spaces.
In the northeast corner of the city
l noticed vacant lots large enough
for Arabs to pitch their tents. This
is true, despite the phenomenal
growth of Jerusalem outside the
walls.
That condition is a parable. For
near at hand, within every ones
sphere, in every community, lie
overlooked opportunities for minis
try. Within our own walls is still
room for more building. There are
lives that need only personal min
istry to win them to Christ. There
are forms of Christian service
without count that await only the
doing.
Let US mediate upon what new
meanings there are for us in the
Masters phrase, Beginning at
jerusalem"
Our Father, help us to be vigi
!art and dilligent in the service
that Is nearest at hand. We would
build for Thee right where we are.
Amen.

ARMY ASKS FOR 10000
INDUCTEES PER MONTH

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The
Army wants $4,000 new men each
month for the present, regardless
of whether Japan is occupied peace
fully, the War Department said to-
day.
At the present time, Selective
Service Director Lewis B. Hershey
said September draft calls would
be for $4,000 men-50, 900 for the
Army and $4,000 for the Navy. The
Navy calls, he told a reporter,
would represent a sharp reduction
from the $4,000 to 10000 men it
had been getting. Before Japan be-
gan surrender negotiations the
Army was inducting about $4,000
a month.
The War Department issued a

velopment in their homes and

Shafer also insisted that the
Army should release men with more
than two years service, contending
that the present system of dis
charges based on a point system
"has not worked out and in many
cases has been grossly unfair"
Five million men, he asserted,
would be entitled to discharge on
the basis of two years service. The
need for occupational forces, he
said, could be supplied by approx
mately 100000 men.

On the conference agenda was a
wide range of topics bearing par
ticularly on the establishment of
regional schools in various sections

tions of Negroes.

published reports that further re-
duction would be made in selective
service calls if General MacAr-
thurs occupation of Japan was
peaceful.
Any cut in the 5O,OOO-a-month
draft rate, the department asserted,
will depend upon the rate at which
men volunteer for duty in occupa-
tional forces.
But the continued drafting of
men, especially younger ones, ap-
peared headed for some opposition
on Capitol Hill, where the House
Military Affairs Committee is
slated to discuss revision of the
selective service act tomorrow.
Contending the military situa-
tion no longer warrants the taking
of youths of Is and 19 years, Rep
resentative Shafer (Rep., Mich.),
said he would seek early congress
sional action to discontinue their
induction.
''The military situation after the
Pearl Harbor disaster was used as
an excuse to lower the draft age
from 20 to 49," Shafer told news
