Some Anti-Black
Market Suggestions
(contributed)
The housewives of Raeford are
callrd upon to back-up the merchants
in the fight against black markets.
Our merchants are trying to cooper
ate with the OPA ceiling price reg
ulations and they are having a dif
ficult time. Some times they are los
ing money in doing so.
We want to cooperate with these
merchants who are conforming. They
are real heroes in this home-front
b.Utle against inflation.
There are two ways in which we
are tempted toward black market op
erations. The first, when we give or
receive ration stamps from one another-
-that is called the friendly
black market and is strictly against
regulations.
The second, is when we pay higher
prices than those allowed by the re
gulated ceiling prices. Each market
has been given a copy of the com
munity ceiling prices which you may
consult to acquaint yourself with the
current legal prices. Do not mind
a.-iking to see this lost. It is your duty
tu inform yourself and it is the kind
tiling to speak to the merchant if you
are asked to pay more than these
prices. If the price is too high and
t:,e merchant is unwilling to adjust
it, to conform to the coiling, then you
c:in help win this war against in
flation by refusing to buy from him.
If you must have the article, then buy

"Man's Best Friend'' and His' General
While we are in mechanized
war, with planes, tanks and
high-powered guns speeding the
day for Victory, it is also a war
of men and dogs. Tradition
ally "man's best friend," the
dog is achieving his highest ser
vice to man on sentry duty, as
messenger carriers, and in a
variety of services in the thick
of battle. Army dogs are a
comparatively new but impor
tant part of the armed services
and Major General Edmund B.
Gregory, Quartermaster Gen
eral, U. S. Army, has the highest
praise for their service. General
Gregory says:
"Owners of dogs supplied for
service to the Army can feel
proud of their pets. Dogs are
becoming increasingly important
and miracles are being achieved
in training them for various
duties. It goes without saying
that they require he most care
ful training and feeding. Ad

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PROMPTLY!
Our government requests us not to engage in "Rumor Shortage," flying talk in connection with com
ing shortages and ratibning of this and that ....
But the freeze on newsprint has already reached many of the larger daily newspapers. If the war
continues, it is only a question of time until the freeze reaches smaller dailies and non-daily news
papers. It may come next week, next month or next year.
When The "FREEZE" Order Comes
OUR CIRCULATION WILL BE FROZEN AS OF THAT DATE
If your subscription has expired we will not be permitted to renew it. If you want to subscribe, we
will not be permitted to enter you en our subscription lists until other subscribers give up their sub
scriptions. You must await your place in line.
In other words, we will be permitted to print the exact number of papers for which we have paid
subscribers, the regular number for our files, newsstands, and service copies . . . and no more.
This statement has no official status; it is nothing more than a suggestion we feel we owe to our subscribers. Renew
your subscription promptly, before it expires'; if you are not a subscriber at present and want to have your name enter
ed, we solemnly advise you to do so at once, after the freeze order comes, it will be too late.
