Charcoal Goes To War In the quiet woods of Britain gray-haired men, many of whom have never visited a city in their lives, follow a thousand year-old craft—taught them by their an- cestors—which today is helping to make the four thousand -pound and eight thousand -pound bombs that are shaking the foundations of the Nazi war machine. These old men are the charcoal burners of Britain. Their product is used today both to destroy the enemy and to protect the lives of the soldiers and civilians of the United Nations. For charcoal, magic product of nature, fire and the art of man, has a hundred diverse uses. To make what appears to be merely a charred piece of wood, these men have devoted their lives. They are part of the woods in which, they work, living in rough shanties or tents so that day and night they can check the smouldering conical pile of wood and control its rate of burning to produce the type of charcoal needed by industry and agriculture. We are apt to think that the ar- mored and mechanical warfare of the present is something entirely new, but ancestors of the charcoal burners, who pass on the secret of their craft from father to son, once helped the early Britons in then fight against the war chariots of the Romans. Their methods of defense varied very little from those often adopted against tanks. Tacitus, the great Roman histor- ian, tells how they planted wooden stakes in the ground at aene place near the Thames, These must have been the forerunners of the 'as- paragus" rails of steel used against the modern tank. Not long ago some of these very stakes, slightly charred and thus preserved from decay, were discovered near the place mentioned by Tacitus, and it is known that the Britons fought with iron weapons fashioned in charcoal fires. It is a long way to the develop- ment of armored steel, but char- coal still helps to control and raise the temperature of furnaces used in many of the processes, When Friar Roger Bacon, the fa- mous scientist of the twelfth cen- tury, made gunpowder, it was char- coal mixed with saltpeter and' sul- phur that he used. Explosives are now being produced that make the farce of gunpowder seean like that of a squib, but charcoal is still used in many of them, especially where demolition work is carried out, as in the Commando raid on St. Nazaire when the lockgates were destroyed. Charcoal is also a potent shield against poison gas. After it has been exposed to a heat of nearly 1,000 degrees centigrade it is packed in- to respirators where it will filter out, the deadly vapors of practically every type of lethal gas. The charcoal burners cut their own timber from the branches of trees and lay it on the circular hearth they have cleared in the forest. In the center there is an up- right pole, afterwards removed, which thus leaves space for a /tat- ' ural. chimney as the wood pile is built up in a conical form to a height of about ten feet, When the I layers of wood have been placed in ' this manner, the whole pile is cov- ered with earth and the ashes from a previous hearth or charcoal dust, so that when the .wood is set on fire there is only a limited supply of air. to help it burn. Under these con- ditions the volatile substances of THE SEAFORTH NEWS In Memoriam In loving nienrory of our deaf' son Kenneth Thornton, who died• two years ago, August 21st.

All that is left are the carbon and mineral constituents of the black- ened wood.
