Reduction In Sugar Rations For Certain Type Of Users Seen (Continued from pate one) covering auch cases. Commenting on the renewal of supplemental gas rations, county ra tioning authorities stated this week that the allotments are being ma terially reduced, that in quite a few instances those vehicle operators who were allowed liberal rations in recent months are now finding it possible to get along with the basif rations. TTiere are a few, however, who are advancing what may be re garded as fabulous claims in an ef fort to get liberal gas rations for the next three months. Where the claims are found to be unreasonable the county board and special commit tees can well be expected to use the scissors and tailor the coupons down to what they consider the right size. Those persons whose supplement al ration books begin to expire this week may renew their applications at the rationing board office. They are urgently requested not to renew their claims on Thursday and Satur days, and they will save themselves trouble if they do not make claims unless they have facts to support the renewed demands.

After an ugly showing week before last, motorists on Martin County highways cooperated in the safety movement to record a perfect record. Making no er rors and no slips, the motorists respected life, limb and property after a perfect fashion. But look and see what happened in the corresponding week, a year ago. The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. 42nd Week Comparison Accidents InJ'd Killed Dam'ge 1942 0 0 0 $ 000 1941 2 11 125 Comparison To Date 1942 57 35 4 $ 7,008 1941 76 48 6 20,155 Joseph B. Eastman Addresses Appeal to All Truck Operators (Continued from page one) of this program with that of govern mental allocation of gasoline, tires and tubes. The application form and instructions which will be sent to each operator will tell how to go about getting these certificates. A certificate must be carried on each such vehicle. Otherwise it can not lawfully be operated. Without a certificate no gasoline, tires or re pair parts can be obtained. For fail ure to comply with its provisions, a certificate can be taken away. But it is not proposed to use these certificates in any arbitrary or ruth less way. Their purpose is to bring home to operators of all commercial motor vehicles the necessity for treasuring these precious vehicles and tires, and to give each operator a definite guide for his individual action. They will also provide a ready means for controlIng wilful and persistent offenders. It is quite possible that the situa tion with respect to tires, parts and other supplies may so develop that more radical steps in conservation must be taken than are now reflect ed in outstanding orders and state ments or policy. If so, necessary changes will be made. In giving the information requir ed by the application forms, the op erators should be guided by oper ating records, if they have them. If they do not have records, they must in the beginning make the best esti mates that they are able to make. We count on them to make honest estimates. They should not forget that their own best interests demand that they ask for no more mileage and no less loading than is absolute ly necessary. Records will be requir ed to be kept in the future. I realize that the certificates will be an annoyance and that the first reaction of many will be to regard them as a nuisance. In normal times they could have no justification. But these are not normal times. We are at war, and no war can be fought and won wihtout suffering and trou ble. Few things are more essential to an all-out war effort than to keep our commercial motor vehicles, pub lic and private, in active service. The danger that we may lose their services to a considerable extent as War As It Relates To Home Front Is Reviewed for Week (Continued from page one) essary. More Foods Come Under Price Control Although maximum prices have been fixed over nearly all foods that hadn't previously been under opn trol, it is up to every housewife to help the campaign to keep down the cost of living by checking food prices. Prices on poultry, mutton, butter, cheese, eggs, canned milk, onions, whtie potatoes, dry beans, cornmeal, fresh and canned citrus fruits and juices should be no higher than the highest prices charged be tween September 28 and October 2. The quality and quantity as well as the prices of such items, also should be watched. . The Department of Agriculture is calling on farmers who raise vege tables for the winter and spring markets to increase their acreage of carrots, lima beans, snap beans, on ions and to maintain the 1942 pro duction of other vegetables, except for sharp reduction urged in the planting of such crops as canta loupes, cucumbers, cauliflower, egg plant, watermelons, bleached celery, head lettuce, green peppers, aspara gus and artichokes?all less essen tial to our wartime diet. Our "Way of Living" To Undergo Changes The increasing range of various kinds of control?rationing in one form or another of items from meat, tires, gasoline and fuel oil to rub ber work boots, restrictions on pro duction, delivery and use of some products and a complete end to pro duction of a great many more point the fact that we are entering a stage of war economy in which we will have much less choice of all the things we might want. After first of the year, with even more drastic cuts in the manufacture of civilian goods, we'll begin to notice how thoroughly our way of living is undergoing changes. Travel by bus or train, already somewhat dif ficult. may be further restricted. Shipping household goods by frtigl will take longer?freight cars must be loaded to full capacity. The fam ily car will have to get along with only five tires. Economic stabiliza tion the" balanced control of all factors, men and materials in our war economy?now is in the hands of Director Byrnes and his.advis ory board. U. S. Mint Cut Penny Production in Half As copper and other war-use met als now are more precious than gold, all but the smallest gold mines are being closed down? we need the miners elsewhere . Those who change over from oil-burning 'urn aces to coal because of the fuel oil shortage need not pay unreasonable prices for new equipment, top prices have been fixed for grates, ash-pit doors and other furnace parts . . America's four million boys and girls who ride to school in buses may continue to do so, but the buses must be kept on main roads, make fewer stops . . Women are urged to save their old and discarded silk and nylon hosiery, the materials are val uable in making smokeless powder bags Sportsmen should collect for scrap all their discharged shot gun shells, rifle cartridges, and save he short down feathers of wild the snon aowu - ducks and geese they shoot, the down goes into garments for airmen fly ing at high altitudes ... In order to save copper, the U S Mint has cut ill half the production of one-cent pieces, and the small treasures of pennies hiding in children s banks and other receptacles should go back into cirtulation. -f> County Young Man Earn* Promotion In Air Corpt Raleigh T. Harrington, young son of Rev. and Mrs. W. B. Harrington of tins county, has been promoted from second to first lieutenant in the U. S Army Air Corps, according to information just received here. Hopping from country to coun try in the western hemisphere for months, the young man just recent ly received the commission granted last March. Handling a special de tuil. Lieutenant Harrington has trav eled over much of North and South America, and is now stationed some where in South America. Hon. Hal Dickens defeated Leigh ton Roper by a decisive margin in a VEPCO election here today. time goes on is so great that it de mands all possible precautions for the care and conservation of this necessary means of transportation. There must be no slackening what soever in the efforts which are now being made to save the trucks, buses and other commercial motor vehicles and their tires. The certificates are intended, not to discourage, but to encourage, stimulate, protect and augment those efforts. They are on ly one further means of helping the operators individually to do their full part in the campaign to keep those vehicles rolling in the cause of vic tory. In carrying out this program we shall need the wholehearted coopera tion, not only of the motor vehicle operators, but also of shippers, con signees, farmers, merchants, manu facturers, administrative agencies, and the general public. The program has no other purpose then to pro tect the best interests of all concern ed and of our Jamesville Boy In Kansas University Lawrence, Kan.?Grady H. Daven port, 28, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Davenport, Jamesville. is enroll ed in the Navy's new training school for machinists on the campus of the University of Kansas here. Davenport will be given an inten sive training program during a 10 week course in preparation for as signment to active duty with the fleet. He will study operation and repair of main and auxiliary engines, drain age and distilling plants, evapora tors, pumps, and other mechanical equipment of the modern ship. Davenport was assigned to the school after showing mechanical ap titude in a series of examinations during recent recruit training. Class room space and shops are provided by the school The disciplinary and administrative duties are handled by naval officers in command. Registrations Will Be Handled in Five Centers This Week (Continued from page one) number of trips, miles driven and tonnage hauled in the third quarter of this year and estimate the num ber of trips, miles and tonnage for the fourth quarter in this year and the first and second quarters in 1943. How many gallons of gasoline were used in those quarters? How many gallons of gasoline were allowed by the rationing board? For how many miles? How many gallons of gasoline were used from July 22 to September 23, this year? How many miles traveled in that period? If the trucker asks additional mileage or gallons of gasoline, he must attach a complete statement supporting the cliam. If the truck owners will get an swers to the above questions, the applications can be handled within a reasonable time. The transporta tion committee is making every ef fort to handle the task as quickly and as advantageously as possible to the applicant, but there is likely to be delays. In those cases, the appli cant will just have to take it easy and not bellyache. The volunteers asked to aid in handling the task are not receiving a penny for their serv ices, It is advisable for the truck owners to visit the registration cen ters at their earliest convenience and not wait until the last minute of the last day If they do and their appli cations are not handled in time, the trucks are subject to be forced out of operation until the conditions are met. Registrations will be held in the following places: Jamesville gymna sium, Roanoke Chevrolet place on Washington Street in Williamston, Town Hall in Robersonville, Per kins' Garage in Hamilton, and Oak City Gymnasium.

Both Sides Prepare For Certain Battle In Solomon Islands (Cohtinued from page one) this morning, 530 Axis submarines have been sunk since the war start ed, but the announcement warned that the battle of the seas had not yet been won. Following the an nouncement came a report tilling that another merchant ship had been sunk off the coast of South Ameri ca earlier this month. Opposition to Hitler's new order is developing in the conquered coun tries, and German soldiers arc re belling against orders calling for their return to the Russian front. Many are committing suicide, and others are being placed in concen tration camps France is said to have an underground army of two million men ready to contest Laval's order for the conscription of 150,000 workers for work in Germany. A crisis is almost certain there short ly. A law, calling for eighteen- and nineteen-yearo-lds for army service, is expected to pass the Senate this week. Mothers over the country are voicing opposition, and provisions for eliminating the sale of beverages in the camp areas are being consid ered along with a provision that would grant the youngsters the right to vote.
