Williamston Wave And Manteo Play To Scoreless Tie Williamston High's Green Wave and Manteo played 48 minutes of football here last Friday night with out either team being able to cross the goal line. The locals played much of the game in Manteo terri tory but were never able to muster a scoring punch. With the game less than two min utes old. a break gave Williamston the ball on Manteo's twelve yard line, but four offensive plays net ted only six yards, and the ball went over on downs, the visitors kicking out of danger. Both the locals and the visitors showed flashes of form in which of fensive plays were well executed,, but neither was able to sustain any concerted attack. Nixon and Parker, backs, played well for the visitors, as did Burras, right end. For the locals, Woolard carried the ball for several good gains and Har dison and Whitley offered excellent line play. The locals have been holding spir ited work-outs this week in prepara tion for their game with Hertford here tonight. If the spirit continues, local fans will observe a better brand of play than has been shown to date. The kick-off is scheduled for eight o'clock tonight with Hertford.

" 'Now God be thanked who hath I matched us with this hour,'" the | speaker said, quoting Brooks. He closed with the following quo tation from Longfellow, "We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time, In an age on ages telling To be living is sublime. Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait." The need for coordinating the ef forts of existing agencies was stress ed by Mr. S. C. Bray, of Atlanta, who in substance stated that our govern ment is busy preparing, fighting and winning a war, that problems back home will have to be solved for the most part by those back home. He cited problems of other communi ties and tol dhow the Citizens Serv ice Corps had taken action to meet local problems. There was one town of 7,000 population where every doc tor was called into service. Mr. Bray stated that the citizens corps went into action and carried health mes sages, insisting that the people study nutritional values and keep them selves well. There are other prob lems common to every community, he explained in further outlining plans for perfecting citizens service organizations. These organizations are closely associated with the pres ent war effort in that they consider civilian defense and citizens service. The citizens service is very much like civilian defense in that both are based on a willing and large volun teer list. Formed by the heads of the various existing agencies and by civ ic leaders, the Citizens Service Corps can tackle and handle with much success such problems as transpor tation, salvage, labor shortages and others . Charlie Parker, of the State OCD office in urging the organization of such services in every county in the district, stated that the local com munities know more about local problems than Raleigh or Washing ton, that while there'll be no need for civilian defense after the war there would still be a need for citi zens service. He outlined a block plan for handling various problems, how through perfect organization it would be possible to contact every family in a given block or territory without muc htrouble, and how ef fective results could be obtained in campaigns sue has salvage and grease collections. Following Mr. Parker's brief talk, a panel discussion was held with Miss Lora Sleeper, Tom Brandon, Richard Koshka, John I Eagles, Miss Mary Taylor, J. C. Manning and Rev. Z. T. Piephoff as leaders. Miss Sleeper, outlining the grease collection program, explained that two receiving stations were being maintained in the county, one at the E and W Grocery in Williamston, and the other at Everett and Wil liams in Robersonville. Tom Brandon said that this coun ty is fattening 50,000 hogs for the markets, but on a recent Saturday there wasn't a piece of fatback in the town. A main feature in the discussions was a review of rationing by Mr. Koshka of the Office of Price Ad ministration. He offered convincing proof that while rationing irks some and causes some inequalities, ft was accomplishing a great deal more than many realize it is accomplish ing. "In 1942 approximately 86 bil lion dollars are available for con sumer goods, but only 69 billion worth of consumer goods are avail able. Were it not for rationing, we would not buy, we would bid for things we wanted. We would be paying $16 for a pair of $5 shoes. We will not have to hoard or bid for the necessities of life, and we can have a pretty good idea today what a dollar will buy tomorrow," he said. According to the OPA representa tive, the citizens service corps can render a valuable aid in promoting fairness in the rationing system by checking ceiling price posters and promoting confidence, ia telling the common people that the system was P L O W Casting NOW is the time to buy for it may be very scarce later.

Government Calls For % Idle Automobile Tires Timely Questions Answers About Idle Tire Purchase Plan MotoriaU Muttl Not Have Ov er Five Tirett Per (!ar After November 22 Questions that motorists have ask ed about the idle tire purchase plan are answered in the following list of questions and answers just issued by the Office of Price Administration: Q Why is it necessary to sell my idle tires? A The rubber shortage is serious. Your government must have tires right now?today?to ration for es sential use Q What happens if I don't sell my idle tires? A National gasoline rationing starts November 22. If you or any member of your household, related to you by blood, marriage, or adop tion, has more than five tires per passenger car after November 22nd, you will be denied the privilege of using gasoline in any passenger car you own. Q I have only ' four tires and a spare, must I turn in my spare? A No. The government wants only your idle tires. Q What is an idle tire? A An idle tire is any new or used passenger type tire, even if it needs repairs, in excess of tires mounted on running wheels plus one spare per motor vehicle. Tires that are be yond repair are also idle tires, but should be sold to a scrap dealer. Q What will happen in the already rationed area if I do not file a tire record form? A Your local rationing board will demand that you surrender your ra tion book. Q Does this mean that I cannot drive a car after November 22 if there are more than five tires for each passenger automobile in my household? A It means exactly that. By gov ernment order, it will be illegal to use gasoline in your passenger car. Q What will I do when my own tires wear out?put up my car? A No. Automobiles are essential. The purpose of this plan is not to take cars off the road?but to keep all cars on the road?yours included, for essential driving. Q What about synthetic rubber? Won't that solve the problem? A Not quickly enough. Unless we take steps immediately to pool and use idle tires, many cars will be off the road by 1944. Q I bought two tires before Pearl Harbor and put them aside for a rainy day. Do I have to give them up? A Sorry, but it's America's rainy designed to help rather than to hurt them. "The OPA does not want to drive anyone out of business, and business casualties won't be as great as casualties in other*fields," the representative concluded. Director L. B. Wynne plans to call a meeting of the various defense agency heads and civic leaders for I an organisational meeting within the next week or two. SERIAL NUMBERS In applying for automobile and truck tires, new or recaps, applicants must list on the ap plications the serial numbers of the old tires, it was announced today by Mrs. Irene Blount, clerk to the war rationing boitrd in this county. Those applications approved by the board yesterday are be ing delayed pending the receipt of the serial numbers of the old tires. Certificates will be releas ed to those whose applications were approved just as soon as the old tire serial numbers are filed wit lithe hoard, it was ex plained. day now. The limit is five tires per passenger car. But you can keep your five best tires and sell the rest to the Government. Q What will the tires I sell be used for? A Every tire will be put to work ?to get farmers to markets, to get workers to their jobs, to keep every car in useful operation. If later you need tires, the Government will do its best to see that you get some. Q Does the Government want old tires? A Yes. The Government must have all idle tires, new and used, even those needing repairs. Sell scrap tires to your scrap dealers. Q What about fleets of passenger cars? A If you own or lease three or more passenger automobiles and use them principally in the same or re lated occupations, you are a fleet operator. In order to get gasoline for uny passenger car in the fleet, you must sell or give to the Gov ernment all your idle passenger type tires. Passenger type tires own ed by members of your household may be excluded in determining | whether you, as a fleet operator, have idle tires Q What about tubes? A You will not be refused gaso line because you possess idle tubes but they are urgently needed. The Government will buy all usable tubes that art? offered. Q Must truck tires be turned in? A The gasoline refusal does not ap ply to idle truck-type tires or tubes, but the Government will welcome the patriotic action of truck owners who offer idle truck tires or tubes. However, idle passenger type tires must be turned in even if set aside for use on trucks if the owner ap plies for a passenger car gas ration. Q Can I sell or give my idle tires to a neighbor? A No, all usable tires are now "frozen." Usable idle tires held by a consumer can be sold or given only to the Government under the idle tire purchase plan. Q What about trailers? A You n\ay keep tires actually mounted on the running wheels of trailers and similar equipment. You I are not entitled to any spare tires for such equipment. ENRICHED BREAD HS&tmpyZ Or.
