Supplementary Gas Cards Are Granted In County Bv Board (Continued from page one) trator explained that in those cases, the employee should ride the bus, meaning that if no bus connection is possible then the employee should stay put. While the A and B cards are somewhat more liberal, neither of them, according to the administrator, entitled the holder to operate his vehicle for pleasure, A farmer with an A or B card may ride to and from his farms, visit his other places of business, collect and deliver provi sions and even do extra driving in an emergency, but he is violating the law when he starts driving for pleasure. The holder of an A card can run errands with his car, drive to church and travel in an emergen cy for other causes, but he is violat ing the law when he gets in his car and drives to a bridge game, a party or any other place of amusement. He will travel on the bus or stay home or, of course, violate the law and sub ject himself to the penalties of the hm. ' i , Quite a few X cards have been re turned and exchanged, and it is un derstood that the improper use of other typ^s of cards is being report ed to the rationing boards. No direct answer could be had from the ad ministrator, but it was intimated that machinery was being set up to tight en up and clamp down on those who wilfully violate the rationing laws. Action is, hardly to be expected at once, but since rationing is closely associated with the war program, it will be handled as war. Supplementary gasoline cards were issued by the board in this county Monday to the following ap plicants. Norah Hardy. Hassell, one A card J G.

Crucial Battle of War Still Raging on Kharkov Front (Continued from page one) ough gas, we'll have to burn it by riding the rim. Washington announc ed today that there would be no new rubber for civilians within three years, that the Army was facing a shortage, too. The rubber plight was traceable, the report claimed, to the failure of certain rubber firms to expand back yonder and to the phony collaboration between the Standard Oil Company and Farben industrie, the great German chemi-1 cal trust. A crowd of 500 or more gathered for the occasion and gave hearty ap plause to the performance. This band was organized about two years ago under the direction of Prof. Jack Butler and under his training they have displayed mark- 1 ed proficiency and have won recog- J nition not only at home but in other cities where they have visited. Mayor Hassell made a few re marks expressing how proud the people of the town were in having such a fine band and what a fine advertisement it was for the town and predicting that greater laurels awaited them in the future.

U4-J To the Voters of Martin County Ill tin- past few years uikI especially so dur ing the pant few iiionths, it lias been my pleasure to have been ealled to serve on several committees of a civic nature acting on matters of local and na tional importance. In acting in these various ca pacities I have tried to the best of my ability to do the job and at all times have done my utmost to serve well the people of Martin County. During the past several years I have been actively engaged in agricultural, business and public life and I feel that through ex perience in these various fields I am well one or more of these interests vitally affect you, especially so during time of War. I am taking this means of soliciting your vote and support in the Democratic Primary, Saturday, May 30th, und at that time if you Bee fit to call me as your Representative to the North Carolina Leg islature, I promise that 1 shall.carry out your wishes in an honest and efficient way. W1 Faithfully your*. W.Iverson Skinner FROM WASHINGTON Comes Proof That BONNER FIGHTS FOR THE FARMERS A? proof of llir ridiculous statements of a misleading campaign being hu^i'iI against Herbert Bonner for Con gress. comes in<lisputablc I'viilt'iicc from the highest author ities in (Vushingtou. la-l tin* voters beware of any effort to tii contrary, Herbert Bonner. lias always stood for the farmer, ami by living testimony that ix reliable, ix proved to have done everything for the Farmerx' interest that eonld possibly be done under prexent eonditionx. Let no one argue to you that Bonner hiuixelf eonld be on tbe Agri culture Committee of the llouxe. The fact ix. lliix place ix already held h\ another North Carolina Congressman with xerviee longer even, than Bonner's. The only way he or any other man could gel it, ix by xeniority in cane of a va cancy. and no new man could get it. Now read thrive letters, and see what Bonner has been doing to help the farmers. One from Congressman Bloom tells of his good work for the tobacco farmer. Another from Congressman Tarvrr recounts the story of other work to develop the beef cattle industry. Many more sueb let ters could be published, showing what he had done for other lines of agriculture, but these should be enough to show how false and misleading, and unfair, some of the statements being made about Bonner are now proved to be. HKAI) TUF.M: CONGRESS OF TIIE I'NITED STATES Committer on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives Washington February 7, 1942. Honorable Herbert C Bonner House of Representatives Washington. I). C. My dear Herbert: With rrferener to the conversation that you and I had on the Floor and also in regard to your letter concerning the I .end I. rase Bill. I know how interested you are to be sure that the Bill in Section 2 includes tobacco. I can assure you that my impression is and. in fact, I am positive that it does include tobacco; so you can assure your constituents that after your inquiry and after a special Inves tigation by me that tobacco is included. I want to take this opportunity to say to you that I wish every Congressman were as attentive and as interested in see ing in legislation of this kind that the interests of his constit uents is protected. Sincerely vours, (Signed) SOL BLOOM. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES U. S. Committer on Appropriations Washington May 18. 1942. Hon. Herbert C. Bonner House Office Building Washington. D. C. ?My dear Colleague: As we near the conclusion of legislative action in the pass age of the Agricultural Appropriation Bill for 1942 1 wish to express to you my very deep appreciation of the able and efficient servicr you have rendered in cooperation with our subcommittee on Agricultural Appropriations in having the bill represent the utmost that ran be accomplished for agri culture under present conditions. Vour constant advices and collaboration with the subcommittee and your earnest and effective support of the bill in its passage through the House have been matters of deep gratification to me. As you know, wc have sought together that the provision for those activities of the Department which are of particular in terest to the Southeast should be adequate. 1 think one item in which you have been particularly Interested, the provi sion of sufficient funds for the continuation of work related to the development of a beef cattle industry on the cut-over forest lands of the Southeast, and for which provision has been made, will be of greater value to our section ultimately than many of our people realize. With kindest regards. I am Sincerely yours. W. C. TARVER Chairman, Subcommittee on Agricultural Appropriations House of Representatives. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR BONNER'S EFFORTS, Tobacco would not be 011c of tbe agricultural products thut may be purchased with Lend-Lease Money. Only tliree agricultur al product* Here named in tbe original bill, via: Wbeat, (kit ton and Corn. But Bonner appeared before the Foreign Affaire Committee, ugring that tobacco be definitely named, lie obtained this benefit for tbe tobacco farmer* of North Carolina. Yet, u vicious campaign would deny him credit for hi* vigorou* and thoughtful work, which ha* resulted in untold benefit to the people of the District. The thinking man who reads lhe8e letters may judge for himself. The informed farmers already know thai Mr. BON'NKR succeeded in getting an appropriation of $50,000 to spend on developing a Beef Cattle Industry. Progressive men know that this prog/am properly expanded ran lead the way to new opportunities and greater earnings for the farmers. For surely, in Eastern North Car olina ran lie developed a Cattle Industry that will pay, when we consider that year round pasturage is possible, as compared with the adverse conditions prevailing in western states, where cattle must be housed and fed a great part of the year.
