PAGE SIX SPORTS <£ OF THE COUNTY M. o olicltcd """""T 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. i Ramblers Win Friday in Game With Bethel Hill Scoring Ends In Seventh Inn inn. Shot well Pitches and Whitt Catches. By R.

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. M tm AiUmts, CjtmUlu. CktHsmste.
