SOFT BREEZES FROM FLAT ROCK ? miss jennie veeve smith, our af- 1 ficient scholl principle, is back in lier harness and the scholl started off o. k. after the holidays, some sickness took place enduring this va cation, but it was amongst the few pupils who happened to have too j much to eat. wherever heavy diets like livver pudding and hog jowls and porch chops were plentiful, the kids are still at home in bed with a doctor. ? mr. holsum moore broke his no 1 ressoluation yesterday, a drummer tempted him. so his wife says, they met up at the cash and carry, and he let holsum smell a bottle of It and then begged him to taste it, and when he got a little of It on his tongue ? he wondered how it would feel going down his throte. and one thing led to another till both him and the drummer got locked up. he has made a vow newer to lok upon a bottle when !t is red. he do not exactly love liker. but he says he i do love its cffects. little minnio chance, the babv | darter of mr. chance, jr.. gave a nice ! party at her house friday afternoon, i .-.lie turned it into a movie party and | took all G of her guests to the conn Jofiflievv Misery of WOMEN Popular 61 years ty-seat to se<j a pitcher. she paid c5 and the paid c5 for the tickets, thus making her a fifty-fifty partner in the cause her ma says the trip cost lier nearly c5u. onner count of ths war she said such a waste of monney must stop it w.ts enjoyed by all.

In addition to the rationing of new tires, it is anticipated here that re treading will soon be ratoned. For the consumer this means that the use of automobiles will become more and more infrequent as the war progresses. It means also that de livery services will be curtailed. Of great concern to the Govern ment and industry is the matter of how tire rationing will affect in dustrial workers ? how many of them find their cars essential to get them to and from work. A survey of the nation's car-owners shows that driv ing is the most usual way of getting to work. Forty-five per cent of Amer ican workers f excluding farmers > drive, to work or ride with someone else. Of the workers who normally arrive at their jobs byautomoblle. 73 % stated that they could get tlwre by some other means. Tills leaves NOTICE! To all members of the Carolina Motor Club, all AAA affiliates, and all other auto owners of Cherokee County With tires being rationed, tire thieves arc getting active. Last week Austin Arrant, of Murphy, Route 2, left his car parked on the highway, and re turned to find it stripped of all four tires and two ^psres. There is only one way to identi fy a stolen tire and that Is by the number. These numbers should be reg istered. Then, in case of theft, warning ran be spread, thus m i I; - ing it difficult for the thief to sell them ? and also easier for tue po lice to recover them. To help stop this theivery we w ill register your tires, wit'iout c> large : keep a check on them, spread the alarm, if they are stolen, and then keep a look-out for them. We also will bo glad to enroll you in the Carolina Motor Club, which will entitle you to, reduced room - rates while travelling: cheaper oil and gas, and free tow ing if you have tire trouble. WOCO-PEP Service Station Home of Woco Pep gas and tiolene oil 27% of the American workers with an Important problem to meet Businessmen here anticipate that, the industrial employee wlli be af fected In still another way by the rationing of tires. They expect that Industry will resort to the staegerim of working hours in order to relieve tr.i importation short ages when rar and bus lines take over after the autos quit. Govitnm.nt agencies in this city have been staggering the hours of arrival, lunch and departure of their employees to rsome time now. Traf fic officials feel that this system has helped a sood deal in relieving con gestion and shortages. A bill requiring the registration of labor unions, business and trade or EKnizatlons with the Federal govern ment was introduced by Representa tive Vinson, chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee. More 'isan a year ago. a government report rec ommended registration of trad.? as sociations. but did no! include labor unions. Mr. Vinson's committee, in the course of an investigation into naval defense contracts, found that tne wheels of progress had completed an entire cycle. "The tremendous finan cial gains made by labor ortran'z' tions during the period of the dr fenso effort." the Committee report ed. ::snri the vzzi smount o? funds and assets in their treasuries presen' an astounding picture of concentra tion of wealth, a situation hereto fore usually associated with industry and finance." The success of the CIO and AF of | L national and local affiliates In i b Hiding up large tieasurles. whlcn I go unsupervised by any outside agen- 1 cy and are tax exempt. Is a source of some alarm here. The feeling is aggravated by the shelving of the House anti-strike bill In Senate Com- I mittee. At first the reason given for ' inaction was that industry and laboi ought to liave a chance to settle 1 the question of defense strikes by ; themselves. The President's manage- i ment-labor conference of several weeks ago was the chosen medium.1 The continued inaction is now ex-! plained on the theory that the new War 1 abor Board should b cgivci a : chance to prove Its ability to handle 1 tho need for uninterrupted war pro- 1 duction. However, many Congressmen feel ; i hat positive legislation is needed in any event. The Vinson bill is re garded by those circles as an attempt to legislate on one phase of an un desirable situation. SMALL BUSINESS: What to do' about small business always gets a j rise at any gathering around town. ' There's sure to be someone present who is connected with the fifteen-odd ! Government agencies which have something more or less to do with small business Floyd B. Odium, small business' champion, pulls no punches when he sums up the situation by saying: I think everybody's job is nobody's job." The general consensus of opinion in administration and business circles that small business has to have a guardian appointed for it. These :nc circles are looking to Produe ;ion Chief Donald M. Nelson to tac kle the problem. Sources close to Mr. i/elson anticipate that one of hi': first ?cu> will bt> -o coordinate the scat tered efforts to aid small business ?nd work out a plan to insure its survival. Mr. Odium's proposal is a new and separate en v devoted exclusively to the care o small business. This plus ;t mcditiea aiiuiment plan. und?r which one per ccnt of available raw materials would bp set aside for small manufacturers, make up his prescrip tion for keepinrr small factories op erating on a reduced basis. LABOR : "We'll wait and see" is the 1 present reaction here to John L. Lew is' propositi for merger of the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. It is felt the proposal should have come a long time ago. The fact that it came from the chief protagonist of the inter-union warfare, for it Is clear that everyone here from high Government officials down to taxi drivers on the streets welcome the idea in principle. Businessmen are pointing out the irony of the situation. Faced with i answering charges of conducting "business as usual in 1941," they have pointed out that a good deal of valu able time was lost in jurisdictional strikes between the C. I. O. and the A P of L. In which business was Ihe unwilling victim A nation-wide poll of public opin ion indicates that a single national labor organization would be welcome to an overwhelming majority of the leaders and the rank and file of both unions. o Best of tile 13 demonstration poul try flocks for 1941 in Cabarrus Coun ty was tliat of Mrs T M.
