It’s happening right now—as cited by General MacArthur in the action of the Northwest’s own 41st Division in New Guinea! You can’t cross rivers without pontons. You can’t move ammunition up to fight- ing fronts without cases, boats and trucks. Invading Marines can’t land without barges. Troops can’t be housed and trained without cantonments. Yes! Wood is a vital fighting tool on every fighting front L Every fighter for freedom counts on the men of lumber to “deliver the woods.” A challenge that has been, is being, and will be met! The Men of Lumber March Forward!
