Mail Tire Records
With Gas Tickets
-®
The county rationing board ad
vises passenger-car owners that their
new tire inspection records were
mailed to them at the time their new
A gasoline allotment books were sent
out. The new tire record is somewhat
smaller than the old one, and a great
many motorists have come to the
office of the board asking for tire
inspection records.
Tlie old tire inspection records are
being kept in the flies of the ration
ing board, it is explained, and under
no circumstances will they be re
turned to motorists.
Tire new tire inspection records for
truck owners are also mailed out with
their new gasoline allotments, but the
old the records are retained in the
office of the rationing board, as in the
case of passenger-car owners.
Certified seed potatoes from
the three leading producing
areas, taken from regular car

1943. Of the 10 highest yields of
prime potatoes, 7 were from
North Dakota seed, including the
2 highest. Similar results were

Expect Increase in
Waste Fats Salvage
Arrangements have been complet
ed for the waste fats salvage drive in
this section, it was learned this week
from Miss Helene Duvall, secretary
to the Washington County Salvage
Committee. With two red ration
points and 4 cents per pound now
being given for waste household fats
by local meat dealers, it is believed
there will be a tremendous increase
in the amount turned in by house
wives of the county.
It is stated that no special con
tainers are necesary for saving the
fats. They may be collected in ordi
nary tin cans, although the large
fruit-juice cans are recommended,
since they will hold more. Retailers
who receive the fats are advised to
have one large container and to pour
the fats into it for storage.
Arrangements have been made to
have a Goldsboro firm pick up the
salvaged grease when the stores have
an accumulation of 50 pounds or
more. The retailers are advised to
pool their collections of the waste
material and to notify the Goldsboro
firm whenever they have 50 or more
pounds on hand. The stores will be
paid 5 cents per pound by the render
ing firms.
