HE A SPORT—BUY ANOTHER BOND
If you have any sporting blood in you, you will know
by now that the Seventh War Loan is on and that you
are supposed to buy another bond. Even tho it looks like
the war is going our way we remember that the boys are
still fighting and that they still need our support. Many
of them, as a matter of fact about all, are buying bonds
in addition to their fighting. They realize the need for
funds to carry on the war and so they are doing all that
they can in two ways.
We people at home are only asked to buy all the bonds
that we can and that, if you ask us, is not much in view'
of what some are doing.
Person County has a large quota in E bonds. It is not
one that wa cannot reach but it is one that will require
a bit of buying. Since this column is supposed to be a
sport column let’s put it this way. Buy another bond or
two and bring the boys home. Then they can enjoy the
sports that we now enjoy—and many other things too.

NEW POINT VALUES
Raleigh, May 4—To give Ameri
can housewives and other civilians
an equal chance to get their fair
share of file available meat supply,
new point values have been assign-

Oil Rationing
On Same Basis
Raleigh, May 3.—Simplified fuel
oil rationing system, adopted at the
beginning of the heating year, end
ing August 31, will be operative dur
ing the 1945-46 heating season,
OPA District Director Theodore S.
Johnson said today.
In order to start the movement
cf next winter’s supplies, first “per
iod" coupons, having a value of 10
gallons each, will become valid June
1, he said.
About the same amount, or less,
fuel oil will be available for civilian
use this year, and the rationing pro
gram has been organized to provide
approximately the same basic ra
tions as last year, he explained. The
kerosene supply is expected to be
even smaller. One departure from
last year’s policy, Johnson said will
invalidate all of this year's coupons
ed to practically all meats for civ
ilian use, during the rationing per
iod beginning April 29 and ending
June 2, Theodore ,S. Johnson, OPA
District Director said today.
By assigning points to cull and to [
utility veal and lamb and to the less
popular cuts, increases on point •
values of more desirable euts can [
be kept down, he explained.
Beef roasts and other beef cuts, [
are down from one to two points a I
pound, while most beef steaks are !
increased only a point and there is [
an increase of one to two points a
pound for most cuts of lamb and
veal under the new point value 1
schedule, Hamburger will remain j
the same at 6 points a pound, he
said.
Point values of margarine go up
to twelve points a pound, a rise of
4 points and group 1 cheese will also
advance 12 points, he said.
Detailed statements of point val
ues appear on charts posted in meat
dealers stores, Johnson pointed out.
