Tire 7 hefts In County Follow
Government Rationing Order
(Robersonville Herald)
Raymond Peel reported the first
auto {ires to be stolen" Ih this sec
tion since the U. S. Government is
sued an order restricting the sale of
tires Mr. Peel, who lives on the
Lum Wynn farm, stated that his car
looked especially odd when he first
saw it Tuesday morning. The front
right wheel was removed and also
the left back wheel. "It looked like
it wanted to stay up and lay down
both at the same time," Mr. Peel said
when commenting on how his car
looked after the wheels and tires
were removed.
Those who have any notion of
stealing auto tires might well take
into consideration the penalty that
will be meted out in the courts. In
Richmond Monday a man charged
with'stealing a single used tire was
given the maximum penalty for pet
ty larceny of 12 months on the roads
and a $100 fine.
Local officers have suggested that
owners of motor vehicles in the coun
ty record the serial number of their
tires. Warning that tire rationing
which went into effect Monday, De
cember 5th, throughout the nation
may cause the loss or theft of some
of the tires in the county, the offi
cers suggested that owners keep writ
ten record of the numbers of the tires
in a secure place.

JOHN J. MANNING
Deacon John Jordan Manning, son
of Edwin and Elizabeth Roborson
Manning was born July 27. 1866, and
diyd November 27, 1941. He was 75
years and four months old
He was first married to Mollie
Brown in January. 1888. and to this
union four children were born Al
exander, Eli Hoyt, Mrs. John R. Peel
of Williamston, and Mrs. Nick Grif
fin, of Washington. After the death
of his first wife he was married to
Lena Taylor Mobley in December,
1927 She survives him. He united
with the church at Smithwick Creek
April. 1905, and was baptised by El
der Henry Peele. Some time after
ward he was chosen deacon, which
position he filled faithfully to the
day of his death.
we pray that his mantel may fall
upon another. He labored zealously
and untiringly for the cause so near
and dear to him. He was a good
songster and to sit with those of-Hke
precious faith and sing the songs of
Zion was his greatest pleasure. He
was one of the most faithful. He and
his dear wife visited some church
every Sunday and Saturday unless
hindered by some unavoidable cir
cumstances and were present at all
unions and a great many associations,
funerals or wherever the worthy
name of Christ was preached or any
where he could serve his brethren
or show forth the praise of his prec
ious Redeemer.
He was a man of peace, and he la
bored to that end* Though his labors
were not always crowned with suc
cess, yet he never faltered or became
discouraged. He continued to the end
of his life to contend for the faith
opce delivered unto him, and for the,
law of peace written in his heart by
the finger of God. He was a true and
faithful servant to the church. He
did not aspire to any other calling,
knowing this to be the noblest catl
ing to be a humble servant of God.
He has gone from us and will not
come back anymore, we will miss
his pleasant face and the sound of his
melodious voice, but. he has served
his generations faithfully and we
do not envy his rest, nor begrudge
the peace to his soul. The Psalmist
says, "Mark the perfect man and be
hold the upright, for the end of that
man is peace." He has entered into
that rest that remains unto the peo
ple of God, a rest that knows no end,
where there is no sorrow, pain nor
death, but peace forevermore.

Farm Bureau Will
Hold Convention
! Because the defense program af
fects farming as it does almost ev
erything else, this year's meeting ??4
the North Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation, opening at Raleigh on
January 14th, is to be given over to
a study of the sudden and drastic
changes in our agricultural life that
have been brought about by the war.
Agricultural leaders from the 100
counties in the state will meet to
hear first-hand reports from high of
ficials in Washington on the progress
of the defense program and to hear
addresses by the Hon. Josephus Dan
iels, former Secretary of Navy under
Woodrow Wilson, and only recently
retired after many years of service
as Ambassador to Mexico and many
other speakers. This year's meeting
is keyed to the National Situation
and has as its topic "Agriculture and
National Defense."
But in considering the national
welfare and its contribution to ul
timate world peace, the farm organ
ization is giving attention to mat
ters affecting each individual farm
home. Take, for example, the ques
tions of inflation, priorities, price fix
ing, and many other far-reaching
problems.
Edward A. O'Neal, the Farm Bur
eau's Veteran President, is a vigor
ous opponent of all policies which he
thinks encourage the inflationary
trend, and his position has been sup
ported by his organization. He takes
(the stand that farm prices are high
enough when thev stand, on the av
erage, at parity, as they do now, and
that any policy which would send
them higher is undesirable because
inflationary. On the other hand, he
opposes any measure which would
control farm prices and let the wages
i of labor go unrestricted.
Other problems originated or in
tensified by the defense effort are to
be taken up, but much of the time
will be given to hearing Washing
ton officials give an accounting of
| their activities. J B. Hutson, pres
I id cut of the Commodity Credit Cor
| poration, will discuss the operation of
"The Lend-Lease Program."
