Special Edition Due To Be Published
Next Wednesday Afternoon If Possible
All the pictures for the special edition have arrived, and the
press is being kept busy turning out more than five thousand copies.
Present plans are to have the edition from the press next Wed
nesday afternoon. To even meet that date, the staff and mechanical
department will have to work day and night to get up the vast details
of materials being used.
Between 600 and 700 pictures of Haywood men in service are
being used. Many of the pages which have already been printed
have nothing on them but pictures.
Every effort is being made to make the edition complete in every
detail, and even if it takes a week longer, we are determined to attain
this goal.
The sale of extra copies shot up fast this week. All regular
subscribers will get the edition, and extra copies can be had for 10
cents. This price will mail the paper anywhere in the country.
Sorry, but due to postal laws and regulations, no copies of the
edition 'can be mailed overseas.

OPA Releases Odd
Lot of Shoes To
Go Without Stamp
Public Can Buy "Odd Lot"
Shoes Without Stamp For
Two Weeks Starting
Monday.
Good shoes cheap, and without
payment of a ration stamp, go on
sale Monday, July 19th.
Sounds like a dream, doesn't it?
OPA has given all shoe dealers
two weeks from July 19th through
the 31st to dispose of odds and
ends of their shoe stock witnout
having to collect a ration stamp
from the customer.
The odds and ends, and broken
stock, will for the most part, con
sist of better shoes than are now
being made.
Merchants will be limited to the
number of pairs which they can put
on sale under this new OPA Odd
Lot Release. Taking their inven
tories of April 10, merchants will
be allowed one per cent of their
men's and boys', both dress and
work shoes.
In the women's shoes they may
declare up to four per cent as odd
lot merchandise; and in the misses
and children's shoes only two per
cent may be declared. All other
rationed shoes can account foir
another two percent.
The prices must be reduced, the
regulation states, and no shoes
sold under the "OPA Odd Lot Re
lease" can leave the merchant's
place of business without having
written or stamped on them the
words: "OPA Odd Lot Release."
All shoes not sold during the
two week period will have to be
returned to regular stock, and
stamps collected for them in the
future.
Careful records must be kept of
every pair of such shoes sold, the
regulation specifies.
Merchants here yesterday were
of the opinion that a rush similar
to that prior to the expiration of
Stamp No. 17 would take place
starting Monday morning and con
tinuing for., tvn weeks,

A Special Appeal To Haywood People
Now Living In Other Sections of Country
There are hundreds of people working in defense plants, and
other places, that still look on Haywood County as home. The people
back here in Haywood would not have it otherwise.
The reputation of the county as being patriotic in every war
effort is known far and wide.
To date, the county has met every quota for the purchase of
bonds since the treasury department started setting monthly quotas.
Needless to say, some months has seen the race mighty close.
The Haywood people' away are just as patriotic as those at home,
and it is known that they are buying bonds. What the bond sales
committee here wants, is for Haywood to get credit for some of
those bonds you're buying. It will help Haywood's standing, and give
a better showing.
Any selling agency in the county will gladly handle this for you.
Several are buying them regularly now by mail. Why not join the
group, and help keep Haywood's splendid record among the top of
the nation.
