today as compared with the near
record deliveries yesterday.
No official estimates could be had
immediately, but some buyers were
quoted as saying this morning that
between 40 and 50 per cent of the
crop in this section has already mov
ed to market, that marketing is fair
ly well up with the harvesting sched
ule.
While near-record deliveries are
being reported on the open market,
deliveries to the government ware
houses continue unusually light. It ,
is fairly apparent that actual produc- |

of severity, is found in every occu
pied country. Yet the spirit of the
people in most of these lands re
mains unbroken, and their under
ground resistance, which has serious
ly hampered the Nazis war plans,
will be an increasing menace to the
invaders as Allied advances prom
ise future victory.
On the Home Front our morale is
put to the test by discomforts and
restrictions we must undergo for the
sake of our single war aim?the de
struction of those forces that threat
en the very foundations of civiliza
tion, our homes and schools. Nation
wide gasoline rationing to save our
precious rubber supply is one of
these minor inconveniences. Stand
ing in crowded vehicles may be an
ojher. By cutting down all forms of
travel?by auto, bus, railway?we
will not do away with over-crowd
ing, but we lessen a far greater dan
ger to our nation's security, of which
the Baruch committee warned a
breakdown of our transportation
system. Our combined freight and
passenger transportation has thous
ands of teriacles, each a part of the
system. Delivery trucks of all kinds
from fuel oil to flowers, from laun
dry to ice, make up the web of serv
ices to which we have been accus
tomed We'll get these services only
once a day from the same source,
and we'll have to do a great deal
more bundle carrying, especially of
Christmas parcels.
Fuel Oil Situation Worsens
With fuel oil going overseas in
larger quantities, the Eastern fuel
oil situation .continues to worsen.
New restrictions have been placed
on consumption of fuel oil and kero
sene by space heaters other than
furnaces. Those who use oil or kero
sene stoves must apply for fuel ra
tions on a basis of not more than 550
square feet of floor area per heater
unless "it can be proved that the
equipment must actually heat a larg
er total area. And all those persons,
except private homeowners, who ap
ply for fuel oil rations for heating
apartments, office buildings, institu
tions and the like, must prove that
the furnaces cannot be converted to
coal burning before they receive fur
ther fuel oil
More and more, the country's

rationing will be simply and graphi

food stores throughout the country.
Store keepers will be expected to
see that their customers adhere to
the rationing program, and count all
coffee on hand November 28 as part
of their ration. Restaurants, hotels,
and institutions will be entitled to as
much coffee, less stocks on hand,
from November 22 through January

CAROLINA TRAILWAYS
THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Motorists on Martin County
highways chalked up another
safety record when they travel
ed through last week without an
accident. The safety record is
reflecting much improvement,
motorists on county highways
having traveled during three
weeks out of the past four with
out mishap. However, in making
a perfect record last week, the
motorists showed little improve
ment over the record of a year
ago when only one minor acci
dent was reported.
For the year to date, the mo
torists have a far better record
than in 1941, but even then the
record is not as good as one
would expect when compared
with the reported decrease in
traffic volume.
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.

tions after that date.
On and after November 26, 1942,
and not later than November 30,
1942, each dealer and distributor
must surrender to his board all cou
pons in his possession which do not
bear the required notations. In the
case of a dealer, the board shall is
sue inventory coupons in exchange.
In the case of a distributor, the board
shall issue an Exchange Certificate.
Both the dealer and distributor
should summarize on Form OPA

board.
The board must not accept cou

after November 30, 1942, and these
coupons will have no value for any
purpose after that date.
Through a system, the details of
which have not been disclosed, ra

and in those cases investigations will
be ordered.

Bulk Of Christmas
Mail Must Be Sent
By Deeember First
(Continued from page one)
Railroads are cooperating by con
verting some hundreds of steel box
cars and similar equipment for mail
transportation, and Joseph B. East
man, Director of Defense Transpor
tation, has ordered that unnecessary
travel be curtailed to the limit dur
ing the holiday season. But these
measures cannot assure deliveries of
gifts on time unless the public coop
erates by mailing early and thus
spreading the transportation load ov
er a longer period than usual.
Mr. Purdum called attention to
the task of the Post Office Depart
ment in moving millions of pieces
of mail every day to and from sol
diers, sailors and marines through
out the world. This extraordinary
job must be kept current, even while
the holiday rush of mailings is handl
ed. Also he pointed out, the postal
establishment is operating with many
thousands of inexperienced person
nel, employed to take the place of
men called to the armed services.
The new employees naturally can
not handle the holiday mail jam
with the smoothness and speed of
the postal veterans whom they re
place.
In view i>f all these hanrtieaps fr>
the service, Mr. Purdum added, post
al patrons should mail their gifts by
December 1, if they wish to insure
that their friends will not be disap
pointed at Christinas.
