Patterson Says
Many Women
Help In Nursing
Thousands of members of the
Women's Army Corps are tiding
Army doctors and nurses to ca’ c for
sick and wounded American sold
iers in Army general hospitals in
the United States, according to Sgt.
Charles Fatterson. local WAC re
cruiter.
But the number of hospitalized
soldiers is so great that still more
thousands of Wacs are needed for
duty in hospital companies now oe
! ing formed.
[ “Wacs serving in hospital com
panies perform many essential,
though nonprofessional, duties un-
I der the supervision of Arm\ medi
j cal officers and nurses. As r.vedi-
I cal • technicians.” Sgt, Patterson
Jsaid, “they record temperature, pul
jse. and respiration; help change
bandages; prepare and ueriize
(dressings, and instruments; feed
! the helpless; and aid nurses in
giving blood plasma.
I “Wacs trained as surgical tech
nicians assist in preparing soldier
! patient for operations, aid in trans
porting them to the surgery, op
erate the autoclave in which surgi
cal dressings are sterilized, and as
sist in caring for preoperative and
postoperative surgical cases.
“Wacs also are needed.' added
Sgt. Patterson, “to help keep the
| variety of records which must be
| maintained at an Army hospital.
Wacs on administrative and viettcal
! assignments may be in charge of
' medical supplies and other equip
ment; or they may work as medical
stenographers. They may work on
ward service, keeping records on
the duties, furloughs, and pay of
I military and civilian hospital per
j sonnel.

Lancaster Plan
Saves Gasoline
New Farm Gasoline Plan First
Tried In Pennsylvania.
Raleigh, April—.A test plan in i
Lancaster County, Pa., which has |
result ’d in a reduction in farm and
other non-lvighway issuance of gas
.. cline rations by an estimated 28 per
cent, will be made effective in East
ern North Carolina beginning May
1. 1945. Theodore S. Johnson. Ra
leigh district OPA director, said to
day.
“The response both from the pub
lic and from rationing officials in '
the experimental area was good."
Johnson said. "We are hopeful that
extension of the plan will prove to
be a definite step forward. If we
get the cooperation here that we
got in Lancaster County, the new
plan will make possible a big sav
ing of our precious gasoline sup
ply."
The Lancaster plan provides that
delivery records be maintained to .
account for every non-highway pur
chase of gasoline with “E“ and “R“
coupons Formerly, a person was
. given his individual allotment of
"E" i good for one gallon) and “R"
1 good for five gallons» coupons, and
ho record was kept of how many of
these he used.
A delivery record will be issued
to each non-highway gasoline con
sumer who is issued “E" and “R” ;
coupons on and after May 1. The!
"E" and “R" coupons each consum
er received will be noted on the |
form by the local War Price and
Rationing Board. Each purchase the
j consumer pays for with “E" and
"R"- coupons will be entered on the
record by the supplier.
Thus the delivery record, present- ;
ed when the consumer applies for ;
(his next ration, will enable the i
beard to tel! at a glance how much
gasoline the consumer has bought
;during, the ration period, and how
i much remains in his ration. If a sur- .
Iplus is outstanding at the end of a '
: ration period it will be deducted]
from the allocation for the next ra- •
tioning period.
In addition to farmers, non-high
way rations are issued to persons
! using gasoline engines in such work
!as dredging and crane and steam
| shovel operation. All persons using
“E" and “R" coupons except these j
, i
first 100 shares deposited for exchange by or on b'Vd!
of any record and beneficial owner, or any benr-1
owner; otherwise, the redemption will be pro rata.
If less than 75% of the aggregate of shares of $7 Pre
ferred. Stock are deposited for exchange, the Company \
will not be bound to consummate the refinancing plan,
and it will specifically reserve the right, under such,
circumstances, to reject all offers of exchanao and to \
withdraw the plan, but the Company will fur ll "-
reserve the right, if it then so elects, -to consummate
the refinancing plan notwithstanding the deposit for
exchange of less than 75% of the aggreaate shares of
$7 Preferred Stock and $6 Preferred Stock.
I
The exchange offer is made solely upon the terms,
conditions and representations set forth in the Pros
• '”s. copies of which have been moiled to the
’ S7 and $6 Preferred Stock. Copies of the
Prc;;---' '- *-f Letters of Acceptance and Trarts
mittal for u ’ - ’’-aiders in connection with the
exchanges of the r -' - Stock and .tG Preferred
Stock for the new $5 h T!rr’: may be obtained

“Under the Lancaster Plan.
Johnson said, “we found that fann
ers and other non-highway user
used more care in ' consenting then
coupons, and local boards were more
careful in issuing rations.
For some time OPA has been
t searching for., ways of decreasing th.
amount of gasoline it has realize
(was being lost under the existin
non-highway ration system, rts
quest was for a practical 'improve
ment which would not cause ton
much of a burden on lccal board
industry and the consumer.
The Lancaster County experimeni

whether it should be introduced e

State Imports
Less Os Milk
i
— — j
Raleigh, April—. Importation of
Grade A milk Into North Carolina
! decreased from 30*394,902 pounds in
1943 to 26,247,379 pounds last year.
-C. W. Pegram, head of the Dairy
division of the State Department of
Agriculture, announces. Meanwhile,
ihe sale of State-produced Grade A
milk to dairy plants increased from
120 582,689 pounds in 1942 to 134,-
£20.296 pounds in 1943 and climbed
to 151,983.132 pounds in 1944.
Pegram reports that purchases of
ina-grade milk, or milk used for
manufacturing purposes, decreased
hom 99.794,916 pounds in 1943 to
1)21)47,696 in 1944.
The figures released by the divis
ion are based on reports provided
U ■ department through the dairy
plants covered by the Milk Audit
Law.
Expressing the opinion that North
Carolina has now passed the peak
f wartime Grade A milk produc
tion, Pegram said that estimates
compiled by the Federal-State Crop
Reporting Service show that 10,000
fewer heifer calves were saved in
:;>l4 than in the previous year. A
total of 95.000 were kept in 1943 as
against 85,000 for 1944.
Tt will probably be quite a while
In fer? we shall hit 151,983,132
pounds of Grade A milk for dairy
plants again," said Pegram in not
.-the increasing farm labor short
;u:e and the decline in the raising
of. heifer calves.
He gave much of the credit for [
brill milk production in the State!
last year to subsidy payments effect- j
ed by the Federal Government.
