BACK THE BOYS" OVERSEAS By Baying 4th WAR LOAN BONDS P ASSISTANCE FOR TRUCKS Truck operators who are hav ing difficulty locating replacement parts and tires needed to put es sential vehicles haclt on the road may appeal to the Office of De fense Transportation for assist ance, the ODT District Office in Raleigh, N. C., reminded the pub-' lie yesterday. The service is available to all operators of trucks, including farmers, merchants, highway freight lines, bus and taxicab, companies, according to Harvey R. Roseman, ODT District Mana ger. Through its maintenance spec ialists in all key cities and main j tenance advisory committees and I sub-committees throughout the I country, the ODT can usually lo cate critical parts or tires within a few days. Mr. Roseman said. However, Mr. Roseman pointed l out, governmental aid in locating needed parts is strictly an emer gency seryice and will be offered only to operators who have ex-; liausted every normal means of locating needed items. If every effort has been unsuccessful, how^i ever, operators may enlist the] ODT aid by merely contacting thei nearest ODT District Office ort Maintenance Advisory Commit tee, or Sub-Committee. The re quest should include the name and manufacturer's description of the needed parts and the deal er's name through whom tb? part has been ordered as well as a statement of the attempts the operator has made to locate the wanted Item through regular channels. Locating the required part or tire seldom takes more thap a few days, at which time the truck operator will be advised of the name and address of the firm from which It may be purchased. ? o Wife ?

He deserves the best weapons, one of which is potash ? a plant food essen tial to all plant growth. Fertilizer manufacturers and mixers in support of the farmer's best interests will sec to it that in the fertilizers they sell there is enough potash to meet the recommendations of official agri cultural advisers for the so lis and crops of your sec tion. If you do not already know just how much potash you need on your farm, consult your official agricultural advisers. Write us for free information and literature on the practical fertilization of your crops. V*H <*** $ k ^ r AMERICAN POTASH INSTITUTE Incorporated 1155 Sixteenth St., N. W. Washington 6, D. C.
