Ur I'raU'd States army, it was
announced today by Cel. M. 11
Met'rcary, chief of S.xth Army
Tcrruitinc, who declared that
the new policy of re-enlisting
combat wounded mm would be
continuod in the new year.
Under the plan, which was
instituted some months ago,
hundreds of army jobs falling
into 103 different categories,
were thrown open for enlistment
to partially disabled veterans of
World War II, who were wound
ed in combat.
Proponents of the plan believ
ed that manv of tluse men
could perform a satisfactory
Job and would welcome the op- I
portunity of returning to uni- !
form and a regular salary in- '
stead of remaining dependent j
upon their government pension, j
"The re.-por.se by disabled f
veterans has fully substantiated !
this belief," said Col MeCreary. !
"Not only have they welcomed '
the opportunity of earning their j
own way, but they are proving
to be good soldiers. That's why
the army is continuing the pro- j
gram." i

First Cooperative
Sustained Yield
Unit Approved
I CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING .and cannot be detected by any
of the senses.
The Shelton, Washington, co
operative sustained yield unit
has been formally established,
and a cooperative sustained
yield agreement with the Simp
son Logging company of Shel
ton, Wash., has been executed
by Lyle Watts, chief, U. S. forest
service, according to word just
received in Portland, Oregon, by
H. J. Andrews, regional forester.
Andrews states that the Shel
ton unit is the first in the coun
try to be established under the
Act of March 29, 1911, which au
thorizes the forest service to en
ter into cooperative arrange
ments with private timber own
ers for the joint sustained yield
management of public and pri
vate forest resources. Object of
the program, according to An
drews, is to stabilize dependent
forest communities. He said that
the establishment of the Shelton
unit would assure the lumber
industry of the towns of Shelton
and McCleary a supply of tim
ber in sufficient quantity to
maintain current production and
pay rolls indefinitely.
The agreement with the Simp
son logging company runs for
100 years, according to the for
est service. It covers 158 thou
sand acres of company lands,
with approximately 1 billion feet
of private old growth timber.
National forest resources includ
ed total 111 thousand acres of
land and 4 12 billion feet of
timber. Anticipated- sustained
yield allowable annual cut will
be in the neighborhood or UU
million board feet, it is said.
The program just approved
was the subject of a public hear
ing held at Shelton on Septem
ber 18.
! SOUNDED BY SECRETARY
Carbon monoxide poisoning
has been warned against by Sec
retary of State Robert S. Farrell,
Jr. Noting the cold weather, he
said, "The average car has been
in service much longer than
anyone ever expected, and it
may easily have developed leaks
since last winter."
Farrell said he has observed
over a period of years that the
traffic death rate swings up
diiing the winter months due
to poor visibility and slippery
streets. This year he fears in
addition an increased number
of carbon monoxide cases.
Asked how to guard against
carbon monoxide, Farrell cited
three main dangers: (1) warm
ing up cars in closed garages;
(2) leaking exhaust systems and
floor boards; and (3) faulty
manifold-type car heaters.
Twenty-two hundred Ameri
can lives were claimed by poi
son gases last year. Of these,
approximately one-fourth were
were taken by carbon monoxide.
Contrary to frequent opinion,
this gas is completely odorless
