np the right amount For example, if the food
you buy calls for 13 point it i better to tear
out an 8-point and a 5-point stamp than two 5-

POOLE'S MEDLEY
By D. SCOTT TOOLE
The earth travels around the sun
3(i5 days, 5 hours and 48 minutes an
48d seconds. This extra day gains
one more for the shortest month,
February, and this is called Leap
Year.
Any date dvisible by 4 is a Leap
Year. You can run back over past
years and know which were Leap
Years. There may possibly be five
Sundays in February Leap Years.
There has been talk of changing
the calendar months to even days.
It appears the ancients counted the
months, a very good way, too, and
that would give thirteen months in
a year.
"The nearer midnight the moon's
change, the wetter the weather, I
read long ago, but in dry years it
does not prove true. All signs tail
in dry weather. We have had thir
teen years with a shortage in ran
fall. in this section.
It is essential to know the little
things, the alphabet, the multiplica
tion table, trie compeundl tables, the
rules of spelling, with the excep
tions, and dozens ef other things in
your mind, reviewing occasionally.
If these things are neglected while
a person is young, they will never be
able to know them. I began a
school in a certain tmvn, and one
day I discovered one of the most ad-
j vanccd pupils inschonl referring to
, the multiplication table. I asked h:r
j if she know the taiile, raid she said
the newspapers state. I regret to
see such. Those flying fortresses
bombing eastern Europe would look
good in the sky over those Ameri
cans in North Africa.
I am nut an army man nt all, but
if I .vere, I think I would drop two
ton, four-ton and eight-ton bombs
on Rommel's army, instead of
pommeling Eastern Europe any
more for two days anyhow.
Food will win this war for a fact,
and if we were to have too much
rain, or too little, it would play
havoc perhaps with our food sup
ply. And while we can enjoy plen
ty now, the time may come when we
may not have all we want.
Were people to love righteousness
instead of sin, this would be a real
nice old world; but while they live
they will be trying to take some
thing to which they are not entitled.
There is plenty the world over to
supply every human's need.
We heard the guns in the battle in
which Fort Fisher was capturdd in
January, 1865. It sounded like dis
tant thunder. We were nearly 150
miles from the fort. But several
guns at once are heard much further
military companies used to Are in
squads the reoprt of the guns was
much louder.
We reed much about Wie post-war
conduct of affairs. In my opinion
it will be years and years before this
war is ended and were it to end
next week, there will be a deficit in
many lines of needed supplies.
Father used to call me out of bed
at 4 o'clock in mornings to blow the
bellows for him while he pointed out
neighbors' plows. They had iron for
making new plows, and narrow iron
for pointing, and he could not man
ipulate both bellows and iixin in
welding heat.
! 1 was afraid of those redihot
sparks that flew from that iron, so,
I stood behind father while the
sparks flew. I gues I would stand
behind something were I where bul
lets flew thick and fast.
OPA Announces
Price of Butter
The highest price which may be
charged for "93 score" butter of the
very best grade by any seller n
North Carolina will be 58c per
popnd.' The highest price which
retail stores will be able to sell .the
same butter will be 57c per pound.
Sales ot farm butter, however,
still remain under MPR 280 and ex
empt from Amendment 4 to MPR
289. Farm butter must not be high
er than was charged during the per
iod September 28 to October 2; 1942.
This farm price is, in most cases,
lewer than the ceiling.

FILL 'R UP!
In ''the good old days" you pulled into a gas sta
tion, s-.nr; out "Fill 'er up," and roared out with a tank
brimming full.
No more, brother! .The Jap has seen to that! When
he grabbed 90 per cent of the world's rubber he grab
bed your right to burn up the road-and your tires, too!
But you still can get enough gas for essential driv
ing. And suddenly "Fill er up" really means some,
thing. It means that everytime you make a trip in
your car you must fill every seat. It means you must
share your car with your neighbor. It means you shoulcf
start a car-sharing club, for shopping days, and make
one set of tires do the work of several.
Don't use your car selfishly. Don't drive it half
filled. Remember tires go TWICE as far when you
share your car. So FILL 'ER UP!
