company treasurer, who is in charge
f bond sales among employes of the
organization.
A r advertisement appearing thi>
w->e* r the Bastrop Advertiser and
.'JoO other daily and weekly news-
paper-* :n the Gulf South gives the
reason. It tells the record of "LiI
Joe." one of the bombers which took
part in the attack on the Ploesti oil
center in Rumania whi.:h paralyzed
one-third of Nazi ot production. On
this, the plane's 55th mission, it re-
turned to its base on two motors and
b asted beyond repair.
"Lil Joe" was piloted by Lt. J. W.
Viers, one of L'nited's men of war,
Lt. Viers has been reported missing
over Germany since Dec. 19. Now,
former fellow workers at home of Lt.
Viers ar^ paying- tribute to him and
other men in service by buying bonds
to replace "Lil Joe" and other Amer-
ican planes being sacrificed in the
battle for freedom.
Of the more than 3000 regular em-
ployes of the companies 825 are now
in the armed services.
"If buying bonds will help bring
these men back and end the war even
one day sooner, there can be no bet-
ter reason for increasing our bond
purchases ail that we can.'' Mr. Mc-
Clelian said.

Asks Farmers' Help
In Woods
To mobilize farmers or. farm wood-
lands and for work in forest indus-
' tri^s. the War Production Board. War
i F d Administration, and War Man-
power Commission have combined
forces. Farmers and farm workers
are asked t< devote their spare time,
particularly during the slack winter- i
spring period, to work in the woods'
arid wood industries. Production of j
14 million cords >■:' domestic pulp wood
wil be necessary in 1944 to supply
the neevi< of our armed forces over-
seas and meet essential home front j
war requirements, according to WPB s
paper division. Farmers have nearly
139 million acres of farm woods which j
annually produce about one-third of j
all forest products and 38 p-ar cent
of the country's pulpwood.
