Pulpwood Shortage Remains
Critical In Appalachian Area

Addition of "pulpwood hauling
and cutting" to the National Pro
duction' Urgency List becomes in
creasingly significant with the re-
lease this week of the monthly
report of the Forest Products Blu
reau of the War Production Board
revealing that Appalachian mill
receipts of domestic pulpwood
last month were 1870 below re-
ceipts in February of 1914.
Terming the Appalachian stu
alton critical, WPB disclosed
that mill receipts of domestic
pulpwood during the month in
this area were only $4,000 cords.
Imports during the same period
brought the total up to $4,000
cords.
Accommodations of heavy wet
SHOWS and other weather condi-
tions," were blamed by WPB for
the showing made in this area.
With all U. S. mills getting only
l ,223, 400 cords of domestic pulp
wood in February, receipts for the
nation tumbled to go below the
total receipts of February, 1914.
Despite imports of 10000 cords
of pulpwood. last month, overall
mill receipts show decline of
11% below the 1914 level.
The serious nature of these de-
clines is stressed by the addition
of pulpwood hauling and cutting
to the Production Urgency List,
which is reserved for programs
that have fallen so far behind
schedule that balanced war pro-
duction is threatened in such a
manner as to interfere with mill
tary operations.
Pointing to the 100000 cord
quota set for the nation in 1915,
and stressing the fact that only
10 months remain to reach this
goal, the Forest Products Bureau
stated:
Each farmer and wood cutter
must cut pulpwood to the best of
his ability if the staggering
amounts of pulp and paper pro-
ducts needed for our armed fore
es are to be produced in 1945."
The need for immediate in
creased production of peeled
pines and hardwoods in the APP
palachian areas was also empha-
sized. 49, -, u:

BIG EASTER PARADE
ON FIFTH AVENUE

New York - Orchids were as
common as daisies along New
York's Fifth Avenue, Sunday as
the traditional parade marking
the city's most joyous Easter in
four years of war stalled of its
own immersion.
A record crowd estimated by
police at 100000 crept along dur
ing the morning, but halted COM
pletely about noon for want OF
room to walk. Police blocked
motor traffic from 47th to 53rd
Streets for an hour in a futile eff
fort to dissolve the congestion.
But, ideal Easter weather-bril-
liant sunshine and temperatures
ranging in the 70's-encouraged
more and more New Workers and
out of town visitors to stroll along
the avenue.
Every type of flower from the
rare and costly black orchid spray
to the lowly pansy was evident.
Corsages ranged in size from one
lonely sweet pea to platter-pro-
portioned arrangements of gar
denias and roses.
Hats were tiny and frivolous.
