At the woodyard the wood | will be prepared for use in homes. It will be given to the needy or sold to persons or firms able to pay for it, if the supply is suficlent. The wood is being donated by the contractors work- ing on State Roads Commission proj- ects, having become available as the re- sult of clearing rights of way. The plan is to guarantee each man seeking work, with the heads of families getting the preference, at least three days' work a week on the woodpile and to work two or three shifts a day.
