Tells Motorists How To Use Gasoline Rationing Card How will 1 use my gasoline ration card, once I have it? In reply to this question which is being asked by motorists through out North Carolina, Theodore S. Johnson, State rationing administra tor, today set forth the ABC's of the gasoline rationing program. Consumers are registering this week and they are receiving ration cards intended to meet their needs from May 15 until July 1. Beginning July 1, a permanent gasoline ration ing system will be launched. There are five types of ration . cards, these being: "A", "B-l", "B-2", "B-3" and "X". Holders of the first four types will be able to buy limit ed quantities of gasoline, while those holding "X" cards will be able to make unlimited purchases. The quantities of gasoline to be available to holders of "A" and "B" cards will be announced before May 15. Ait motorists must piesent?then automobile registration cards when applying for a ration card, and ap plicants for "B" and "X" cards must fill out special application forms. The "A" card is intended for the av erage motorist who uses his car pri marily for pleasure. The "B" cards are for persons who need more gas oline than they can get with an "A" card, while the "X" cards are for owners of motor vehicles whose op eration is deemed essential to pub lic welfare. The holder of an "A" card will be able to buy seven "units" of gas oline, while the "B" cards will au thorize purchase as follows: "B-l", 11 units; "B-2", 15 units, and "B-3", 19 units. Applicants for "B" cards must answer detailed questions about why they need more gasoline than they could otherwise get. For instance, a man using his car to go to and from work must tell how far he travels each day. He must certify also that he is attempting to reduce his mile age by using public transportation and by doubling up with his neigh bors Taking into consideration the needs of the motorist, the registrar issues the proper card. Once having gotten a ration card, the holder may use up his units as he likes without being limited to any stipulated quantity for a given ! time. But if he buys all the gasoline he is authorized to purchase before July 1, he will not be able to get an AU the motorist has to do is to present his ration card at a filling station, and his card will be punch ed or the proper unit detached when he makes his purchase. And the gal lonage value of an "A" unit may dif fer from that of a "B" unit. A motorist who finds after his ra Attention Farmers! A Good Rule To Follow ?

I'n hh i Wins Highest Honors In Jamesville School "It is rather singular that within a two-year period that brother and sister should receive highest honors from the same school That is what has happened in the Jamesville High School. Miss Fran ces Wallace, the attractive daughter of Mr and Mrs. W. C. Wallace, on May 6th, was awarded medals for best all-round high school girl scholarship for senior class, and val edictorian of her class of twenty She was also awarded a perfect at tendance certificate, and a one year'i subscription to the "Readers Di gest." Mr. J. T. Uzzle, Frances' princi pal, made all the awards, as he de livered her diploma, which he pur posely held back until the last one He said, as he gave her the awards that he had taught and observer many students in his eleven years stay in the Jamesville school, ant there had been some mighty flm scholars, hut he thought?taking ev erything into consideration, tha Frances was the best student ever t have graduated from the Jamesvill school.

O. Schaub, director of the Extension Service. He also mentioned the fact that housing accommodations at the college this summer will bo another problem, due to the fact that N. C. State is on a "war-time basis" and will be used to train 1.U0U or more technological students for emergen cy work. "One of the main factors in reach ing this decision," Dean Schaub said, "is the matter of transporta tion With the very critical situation as regards rubber, and the rationing of gasoline which becomes effective May 15th, the question of transpor tation becomes, a major factor. Al ready bus and rarl facilities are run mng at capacity, and quite often pub lie utilities have to cancel regular schedules to order to take care of troop movements. "The matter of labor oh the farms is likewise of great importance. Agri culture is called upon to produce more than ever before with a decid ed decrease in available labor. Con sequently, it is felt that many farm people would feel it their patriotic duty to remain at home to take care of agricultural production rather than attend meetings of this kind." Dean Schaub said, however, that the County 4 H Club encampments at Millstone, White Lake and Swan seven speeches at commencement this year; she has a most pleasant personality, having numerous friends in her community.
