oulpwood to see it through the
difficult transition period from
war to peace.
This goal has been pretty well
accomplished and the nations
pulpwood supplies are now ap-
proximately in balance with mill
processing capacity.
For this reason it is logical that
the U. S. Pulpwood Council cease
to function until perhaps a SIM
liar emergency should again arise.
This does not mean, however,
hat local situations will not arise
in which individual mills will
call upon your newspaper for adj
vice and assistance in similar pro-
grams, from time to time.
We want to thank you, your
readers and the entire commun-
ity which you serve so well, for
making it possible for the pulp
and paper industry to have done
its part during the war years as
well as during this difficult re-
conversion period.
Sincerely,

ices bill. The army favors this
merger, but the navy opposes it.
One result of the atom bomb
tests at Bikini was the stiffening
of navy resistance to the unfit
cation bill. The. battle ships sur
vived the great explosion, after
a fashion; at least they did not
all go to the bottom, or disappear
in a cloud of electrons. Some
ships were not hurt at all. 1t is
not even clear yet whether the
crews of the bombed vessels
would have been annihilated,
since some of the tethered goats
lived through the blast. In any
case, the tests seemed to prove
that battleships are not obsolete
after all, and that a big navy is
still necessary to our security.
Some congressman have taken
cynical attitude toward the
tests, limiting that it is highly
unlikely that experiments con-
Quoted by the navy would prove
that battleships are useless in the
future. For the navy to wreck its
main reason for existence would
be suicidal, say these lawmakers.
Be that as it may, results have
tended to strengthen the navy's
hand in its battle against unfit
cation.
Most powerful man on the
navy's side is Chairman Vinson

would be sidetracked.

technical, and has little emotional

PEOPLE
DIFFERS WITH CONGRESS

I am one of many GIs who is
wondering what is the matter
with our Congress. You only
have to be here to see how much
we need to keep up our army of
occupation, and it can't be done
with the new draft bill"
If it is not the opinion that an
army will be needed here for the
next 20 years, then why are we
wasting our time here now? In
reality, we are wasting our time
if it is not the intention of the
United States to occupy the coun-
try it has twice defeated.
We men in the EFT do not mind
serving our country if it will
produce an occupation force to
relieve us. If we are not re-
placed. we believe that our bud
dies who died in combat, and our
buddieS who have served here
with us, have done so in vain.
I thought we elected Congress
men to vote for what they thought
was right, and not for what might
get them reelected.
With best wishes to my Ashe

Clubmen Weld The Axe

Notable progress is being made at
the fishermen's park located at the
north end of the Buckeye. Following
installation of the new swings, guam
titles of dirt were hauled in to the
low area among the trees and prepa-
rations are under way for grading.
Club members have responded to
the task of trimming and clearing out
surplus trees. Axes have been flash
ing and shovels piled industriously to
clear distractions away in prepara-
tion to leveling off the area.
Nearly two dozen trees have been
thinned out of the grove in the past
several weeks. These will be buzzed
for firewood for the new outdoor ov-
ems which will be under construction
soon.
