THURSDAY, KOVEMBER 18, 1943- TOWN and FARM ^ ^ IN WARTIME ★ ★ SIMPLIFY GAS RATIONING All “B” and “C” gasoline cou pons issued after December 1 will be worth five gallons each, com pared with the present value of two gallons for coupons of those types in the East and Midwest and three gallons in the far West. This means “B” and “C” books will contain fewer coupons than in the past, but each coupon will be good for more gallons than before. No increase in the amount of gasoline allowed is in volved. FARMERS TO GET BATTERIES Approximately 20 percent of the fourth quarter production of flashlight batteries will be dis tributed to farmers, according to WPB. This makes enough batter ies for about normal rural con sumption available through farm outlets. FERTILIZER OUTLOOK American farmers will have more nitrogen and slightly less potash in the 1943-44 ‘“fertilizer year,” than they had in the pre vious year, according to testi mony of WPB officials before a senate sub-committee on agricul ture and forestry. Farmers should have four tons of nitrogen for ev ery three they had last year, ac cording to present indications. WPB is endeavoring to make ad ditional quantities of potash available for agriculture in 1944- 45. MORE HOSIERY FOR CHILDREN Production of infants’ and chil dren’s hosiery will be stepped up shortly as a result of priority as sistance given to manufacturers for procurement of necessary yarn. The WPB action resulted from a falling supply of infants’ and children’s stockings.

Early Chr shopping and shipping are sary this year to enable sat£ tory handling of the extra cS mas load, Joseph B. EastmaiJ rector of the Office of Dei Transportation, said. ‘“Ren ber,” Mr. Eastman added, the best gifts for this wari Christmas are War Bonds! Stamps.” STEP UP truck PRODUCT A four-fold increase in Its l| civilian truck production gram has been announced by War Production Board. So portant is this program that has been given priority ratii equal to aircraft and high octa gas. Provisions are also made f production of replacement pa: for civilian use. In spite of tj, four-fold increase, the new of 123,492 trucks is still far shoj of the pre-war production of aj proximately 700,000. GOOD TIME TO CHEMYEAR Food Growers Should Take Stock of Past Activity and Plan For Next Year INTERESTING METHOD TO STORE MEAT FOR SPRIN( A wider varitey of rational mea^s will be available to th| housewife during the low ebb cl meat production next spring un‘ der a rationing plan recently an nounced by OPA. Meat whole' salers will be loaned points to fill their storage freezers with vealj Now that a'“Food Fights.-For eedom” campaign is being in- ,ugurated in every c'cunty in orth Carolina, looking to max- mum production and conserva- ion of food in 1944, it is a good ,ime for growers to check on hat they did this year. An interesting method of do- g this is to compare the food Id from your farm with the ount whith is consumed by a :hter in the armed services. For [ample, a farmer sold 37 hogs Ighing 8,140 pounds on foot, ce a hog cuts out about three- ;rths net meat, the farmer had ■nished 6,105 pounds of net at with which to feed the hters. ow, a fighter eats about one nd of meat a day. So, if we ide the 6,105 pounds of meat Iamb, mutton, and the lowei^| 365 pounds, the amoimt one grades of beef between now am mid-January, the peak period ofj meat output. URGES FARMERS TO CUT TREES i Harvest of war-needed lumber and other wood products from the 139,000,000 acres of produc tive woodland on farms can be sharply increased without danger to the future supply, according to the Department of Agriculture. If farmers would consider farm, woodlands and farm forests as cropland, and every year care fully cut selected trees that are ripe for harvest, they would be surprised at their returns and “they would certainly aid the war effort,” - H. H. Bennett, chief of the Soil Conservation Service, said. CANNED LUNCHEON MEAT Consumers will be able to buy more canned luncheon meat dur ing the coming year, according to the War Pood Administration. Canning of this product is en couraged because it prevents waste of good bits and trimmings of meat at packing plants. TEMPORARY FOOD RATIONS Service men on leave can get temporary food rations without the forms usually furnished by the armed services, afecording to OPA. In an emergency, applica tion may be made on forms available at local ration boards. REDUCE CHRISTMAS LIGHTING The American people have been asked by the Office of War Util ities to confine Christmas light ing decorations to Christmas trees inside private homes. Saving of electricity will mean direct sav ings of fuel, manpower, trans portation and materials. SCRAP DRIVE TO CONTINUE The “Victory Scrap Bank” Drive, scheduled to end November 15, has been continued indefinite ly. H. M. Fault, director of the Salvage Division of WPB said "As long as the war lasts, there will be a continuing need for iron and steel scrap to keep the mills well supplied. The collection of iron and steel scrap from all sources must be a continuing operation.” MANPOWER HEAD PRAISES FARMERS Assurance that farm men and women are occupying key posi tions in the war effort has been given by Paul V. McNutt, chair man, War Manpower Commis sion. “When the history of this war is written,” he said, “I am certain that much of the credit for victory will go to the men and women of our rural districts. Certainly in no war has the pro duction of food played so vital a part and certainly no group has rallied behind the war effort with more eagerness and devotion. We of the War Manpower Commis sion have done everything in our power to maintain the nation’s agricultural labor force at top capacity. Every acre of land that can be planted brings victory so much nearer.” START CONSUMER SURVEY Census enumerators expect to visit 7,000 households in a na tion-wide survey to determine the availability of 115 types of goods. As a result of these studies, the Office of Civilian Requirements will have information from con sumers to aid it in carrying out its .function of maintaining an adequate supply of necessary civ ilian goods within wartime lim its of manpower, materials and manufacturing facilities. ARMY SAVES ON FOOD BILL A saving of 1 1-4 cents per per son per meal might seem trivial to a housewife feeding a family of four, but in an infantry division of 15,000 men it adds up to a striking total. In one division $83,767.25 was saved over a five- month period by food conserva tion measures, the War Depart ment declared recently. 3ier will eat in a year, we find it the farmer furnished enough it for about 17 soldiers for a pie year. you are selling eggs, just |de the number of eggs you this year by 365, because iers average about one egg a Every time you sell a case l^ggs, you are sending another er, sailor, marine or airman gh eggs for 1944. e dairyman will also be able ,sily figure how many soldiers supplying with milk, because t|iverage soldier gets about one d of fresh milk a day, either afesh or as evaporated milk. ring the week the fighter climes about 1 pound of but- 5 pounds of potatoes, 5 ds of fresh and canned ables, 4 1-2 pounds of toma- and citrus fruits, and 2 as of other fruits.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT On and after December 4, 1943, the rate of The Elkin Tribune Will Advance To $2.00 per year in North Carolina $2.50 PER YEAR OUTSIDE NORTH CAROLINA The Tribune for more than a quarter of a century has taken pride in the fact that “it is one of the few top-flight weekly newspapers of the nation charging only $1.50 per year.” Now, however, due to reasons beyond our control, it is necessary to charge a higher rate. With many weekly newspapers suspending publication because of increasing production costs and decreasing revenue, this change is fully justified. It has been the Tribune’s policy, at all times during its 31 years, to work for the best interests of the community, the state ana na tion. By increasing our subscription rates we can continue to serve in the time of, war as we want and are expected to do. New and Renewal Subscriptions Still Accepted at $1.50 Rate! Peeling it would be unfair to our many readers to change subscription rat^ ‘overnight, The Tribune will accept new and renewal subscriptions until December 1st at the e^img rates of $1.50 within North Carolina; $2.00 outside North Carolina. If you wish to extend your subscription—wish to renew for another year at the extremely low pr^e ol less 3c per week, do it now. Stop in today, or clip and fill out the subscription blank, and mail with your remittance at once. SUBSCRIPTION COUPON The Elkin Tribune Elkin, N. C.
