PROCLAMATION
GOVERNOR COKE STEVENSON
WHEREAS, figures released by the War Production
Board indicate that the State of Texas must increase its
production of pulpwood by nine per cent during the last
half of this year if our quota of 378,000 cords needed
for essential war requirements is to he met; and
WHEREAS, the State of Texas has the largest area of
forest lands of any State in theUnion and normally pro-
duced approximately 4.5 per cent of the Nation’s Umber;
and
WHEREAS, pulpwood is vital to the war effort of our
Nation because of its widespread use in smokeless pow-
der; paper board containers for shells, food, and am-
munition for our fighting forces; blood plasma kits;
rayon and paper parachutes; and other materials of
war; and
WHEREAS, rt is most necessary that the state of Texas
make available to the Nation, in this time of war, maxi-
mum quantities of this important product:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, COKE STEVENSON, Gover-
nor of the State of Texas, do hereby appeal to all wood-
land fanners and woodcutters of this State to enlist in
the
VICTORY PULP WOOD DRIVE
to cut pulpwood off their own land, haul the product to
market during time not needed for other duties on the
farms, and to cooperate otherwise in the effort to meet
this pressing need.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the official seal of the
State of Texas to be affixed hereto on this the
26th day of September, A. D. 1943.
COKE R. STEVENSON.

ALL CAN HELP
In 1914, when the first
World War started, annual
fire lasses in the United States
were a little over 2011 million
dollars. They increased to
over 350 million dollars by
1918, and rose to exceed 560
million dollars in 1925.
When the second World
War started in 19.79, our an-
nual fire losses had been re-
duced to about 275 million
dollars, in spite of tremendous-
ly increased property values
over 1914. From that date on,
however, losses began a slow
but steady rise, and now stand
at slightly more than 825 mil-
lion dollars.
advancing,” said J. M. Thom-
as, President of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters,
"fire prevention activities
have been yielding results of
importance to the war effort.
“Even before America was
forced into the war, the Na-
tional Board of Fire Under-
writers had established ad-
visory boards on fire preven-
tion in both Army and Navy
Departments. Its engineers
are occupied full time and are
now augmented by nearly 100
engineers from boards and bu-
reaus maintained by the insur-
ance companies. A similar
group of experienced men sur-
vey Navy shore establish-
ments and private shipyards.
In addition, thousands of war
plants have been surveyed
and recommendations made
for fire safety."
Now is the time to redouble
efforts to curb fire losses and
prevent such a rise in this con-
trollable waste as took place
daring and after the first
World War. We can all help
win the fire prevention battle
on the home front and save
lives as well as money.

APTEB THE WAR, somebody’s going to put
XX up a new house on that pretty rise of
Cround that overlooks the river bead just out-
aide of the town line. Nothing elaborate.
Just a pretty little house snuggled Into the
trees as though It belonged there.
Somebody else may buy the old Ward farm.
There should be many a good day's hunting
in those rolling fields and back through the
woods over to the State road. Fixed op a
little bib—end it afaouldn't take much money—
it would be a livable place for a mfcn and Ids
Yea. somebody's going to buy it. Some-
body’s always coming along, with a dream
e»d a tittle money, and doing the things we*d
promised ourselves we'd do someday.
But this time, why cast that "somebody”
be you?
Look . . . Suppose you put 10% ofy&ur
pay into War Bortda. At Hast 10%—snore
if you possibly oan. And kamp putting it
away—putting it mm*y*-pu1ting it away.
Week after week—payday after payday.
Here's what happens.
Before yon know it, you get so you hardly
miss that money. And if you do miss it. you’ve
got something better to replace It—the knowl-
edge that you, personally, are helping to tofr-;
a steady Bow of planet and tanks and gun# u»
the men who fight. The knowledge that you,
personally, have toed the mark and are helping
to win the war.
Then, one of these days, when peace has
come again, the money you've put away starts
coming back to you. And bringing more
money with It—yon get four dollars for every
three that you pvt in!
When that day comes, you can get out your
pencil ami start figuring just what kind of a
bouse you'll put on the river bead.
But to be sure that day does come, you’d
better do this: You'd better get out your pencil
right now and start figuring how you ean
save at least 10% of every single pay check
