I Seventy-Sixth Year Published Every Thursday - - Weldon, North Carolina THl RSDAY, DEC. 9, 191.5 jPuIpwood Necessary For Wartime Printing Jons Dncle Sain, the printer, needs pulpwood, too, to train soldier, and sailors, ration you and me. and help finance the war through Treasury bonds. •' - l nereenl of the work .ne Go.eminent Printing Office is related to the war effort, ac cord inir to U. S. Public Printer A. K. Giegenack, and this re quires several hundred million pounds of printing paper annu il i.V. Tile Government Printing Office, our biggest buyer of printing im pel-. handles about 100,000 jobs a year. These range from the fami liar ration stamps for the civil ians to the 2(1-1 page Soldieis handbook, which is must reading for every rookie. The War Department alone turns in (100 requisitions a month to the G. P. 0. for books and, pamphlets, manuals, regulations, '■ et cetera. These books and leaf-1 lets total over 40.000,000 copies a month and range from two to :J00 pages each. The Soldiers Handbook ran in to more than 7,000,000 copies and consumed 11,502,72(5 pounds of pa per during the last year. “Consider how directly connect-' ed with the war effort j.- the printing of guide hooks for the Army,” said Mr. Gicgeneck. “These guide hooks accompany every advance our troops make. They expain local customs and provide a list of vital fot ;gn words. Through them our Army is helped to develop the friendship and cooperation of people in strange lands. What is more to .he point, they help our boys to un derstand the enemy.” Navy needs are similar to those i of the Army though not in the same volume. Miner n. w. r. joes wnien re quire tons of printing paper and are vital par.* of the wui effort include: WAR BONDS - The Third War Loan drive required 20 separate printing jobs, totalling millions of copies, tanging from 2, 112-page sales mnaual to a 28 x 40 poster in colors. RATIONING - A total of four billion forms and bolts requiring 7.) million pounds of pape", were' produced in the fiscal year 10 Cl, War aRtion Book No. 2 consumed 7,500.000 pounds of paper alor.e. j INCOME TAXES - However unpleasant, taxes are necessary to the winning of a war. Returns to he filed March 15 next, call for 32 forms, about 800 million cop ies, requiring eight million pounds of paper, the greatest part being chemical wood writing paper. This single project will consume 2*10 cars of paper. Yet in the face of these increas ed war demands for paper, the LI. S. Government has curtailed its uses of paper 25 percent, accord ing to the War Production oB .nl. In addition, the Government' Printing Office is called upon to turn out forms and leaflets for farmers and business men. All are related to the war effort. “Who can say which is the most important,” Mr. Giegenack asks, “a field or training manual, a naval code for use in the convoys the agriculture program that is to produce the food to feed the world, or the war loan program to raise the necessary funds “They all combine into our total war effort - Victory,”_ License Plates On Sale In Weldon Motorists of this section will be saved the time and inconvenience of travelling a long distance t.n purchase their 1944 automobile Li cense Plates, D.

Due to tins illness or to some other i 11 iii-s-s, one ot the sulfa drugs was i’fesri d-i-.i nr taken voluntarily by the patient. As a result of tile pre existing liver damage, the patient was unahle to metabolize the drug taken and there was, therefore, a marked accumulation of the suij auce in the body which acted as • i hepatotoxin producing acute ed -v atrophy of the liver and insulting iii death.” I :ie airi was taken into custody i ; he i;. a nuke Rapids bus station u.uu\.

Then, were some errors in the tickets and they had to be reissued at Roaioke Iiapids. 1 he bus driver stated that when they reached Roanoke Rap ids both the girl and the v. < man got off and after he had corrected the ticket error he returned them to the older woman who got back on the bus with another woman and left the girl in Roanoke Rap ids. All efforts to locate the woman who accompanied the girl have been to no avail. Eddie Wilson Warrick of Roa noke Rapids, a sailor, who was seen with the unknown girl shi rt iy before her arrest, and who mas been sought in connection with the case for some time, was arrested Sunday night and held as a mater ia! witness. At the inquest he said had never seen the girl prior to tlie night of her arrest at which time lie was with her approximate ly fifteen minutes and tried to get her a room. Warrick resisted the off'cers who arrested him and was jailed, lie was returned today under ar rest to the Naval operating base at Norfolk, Va. At the inquest it was brought out that while the girl was in the Roanoke Rapids bus station she" attempted to call her father, whom she said resided in Hoboken, N. J. Attempts by police officers there have not located such a per son. Funeral services for the mys tery girl were scheduled for last Monday but have been postponed until next Monday at 3:30 due to a call from the Norfolk Police De partment who are sending pat lies here to view the body for possible identification.

Dec. 7th—The Inter state Commerce Commission has postponed from December 13 to December 23 a hearing on the application of North Carolina railroads for an increase in inler st.iie coach fare.-. Chief Clerk R. 0. Self of the State Utilities Com mission said today. The railroads are seeking an increase in intrastate coach fares from 1 .(>5 cents a mile to 2.02 cents. The Utilities i ommission prev iously had denied the request for increases and the operating con cerns appealed to the ICC. Self said. NEST EGG Tiie farmer, who saves a nest egg ot'War Bonds, can hatch up something after the war is over. l”oodl Wasted in Homes Qf This County Would Supply Many Soldiers Haliiax County's 12.558 house u ives could feed :{.St*2 soldier.- for a year with the food wasted an nually in homes of the county, an official of the country's leading food d.striimtor estimated today. This amazing figure is based mi a. curate government statistics which indicate that at least 7.451), r>o pounds of food are wasted an nually in Halifax County homes, :uv. r'ding to Harvey A. Beum, bea I of A and P Tea Company’s produce buying operations. "Koed is a munition of war and everyone must I ig'hi waste of^ it now," Baum pointed out. "Effi cient food producers, processors uid distributors have worked for veals to reduce waste. Our com pany, for example lias cut waste mil spoilage on perishable fruits ■ d vegetables by 50 per cent din ing the past 20 years,” he added. Xow the government is urging a I I similar \va> on food waste in the home.” Kitchen efficiency, Baum sug gested, should include three points (1) Buy as nearly as possible just the required amount; (2) serve moderate helpings and (3) use all left-overs. Baum said that although house wives have eliminated much food waste since Pearl Harbor, over eight per cent ot all iood bought for home consumption is still wasted. While it is obvious that waste cannot be prevented entire ly, be added, carefully planned conservation should cut the loss in half and thus 1,946 soldiers could be fed with the resulting savings in homes of this county. Civilians eat about 1,514 pounds of food each year, he concluded, while the average soldier "puts a way" 1,910 pounds annually.
