District OPA director, Theodore S.

Al though local Boards exercised ex treme care and in most Oases, stired coupons in vaults or in near by jails, professional' criminals found ways to steal valid coup ons.” During the month of Septem ber, regional OPA officials in At lanta said burglars who entered local Board offices found their efforts unprofitable and the loss of coupons by the.t in the South eastern region was negligible.

Davis._I Some Dealers Are Tricky, Says OP A j Raleigh, October 25th- Some of the tricky tactics by which some unscrupulous used car dealeis at tempt to evade maximum price regulations were cited by District Director, Theodore S. Johnson ot the Office of Price Administration today. . ' A most common practice, he said is the requireemnt that the pui chaser trade in a cheaper car. The unscrupulous dealer then allows the purchaser less than the actua. worth of the traded car and charg es full price for the purchased Another common practice, John-, son said, involves finance charges on which a dealer gets a rebate. To insure this additional, and ill- | egal, profit, some dealers are re-1 ported refusing to accept cash sales while others are refusing o accept term sales unless the car ( is financed with a particular ti nance company. Still others, Johnson said, art attempting to charge personal ser vice or “finders” fees in addition to the maximum ceilings. Side payments, he added are 11 constituting a large percent e of violations, particula .y 11 lividual sales. | Consumers may protect them ves by reporting such violations their local War Price and Rut ting Board Johnson said.

Steal Flowers On Way To Funeral Umstead Issues r inai Call For Registration State Democratic Headquarters Raleigh, N. C.-A final call for registration o;' all eligible voters has been issued here by \\ illiani B. Uinstead, chairman of fist Democratic State Executive Com mittee. Calling attention to the fact that Saturday, October 28th is the fi-| mil day for registration in order to vote in the General Election in November, Mr. Umstead sni i there were large numbers of new resi dents in many precincts of the State who had not placed then names on the registration books! Many have moved into com:r.uni-j t .s in recent months, or during i Hit war p .icd, am! still he e me | i ight to vote m -so.... - [provided they either have won- I | selves properly recorded on the hooks of their new residences .1 apply for the absentee ballots to 1 vote in the precincts from wnich| , they moved, if their trans.tr to the new places is not permanent. In addition, he maintained that a large number a young citizens have become of age in the past few years, especially among the ! women, and these have not leg, ! istered in thousands of eases. He [ urges them to assume their ^ re ! sponsibilities as citizens of North Carolina by taking part in the general election. Saturday of this week will be the last opportunity to register. Turning to a discussion of the absentee ballot, the state dem ocratic chairman pointed out that persons working in war plants 01 other places and temporarily an sent "from their homes, may %< te as usual if they will apply to the county boards of election for ab sentee ballots. They should file these applications at once with their home county boards, so that the affidavit of absence and the ballot itself may be completed and returned to the county board be fore election day. A new, ghoulish ‘racket’ has ap parently been begun in this vici nity wnieh deals in funeral flow ers. i Last Wednesday a truck loaded : with 23 funeral designs valued at '$175,011 was sent from the Sulfolk Floral Gardens in Suffolk, \ a. to the funeral of It. Woodard in the iWargarettsville section near here. The driver of the truck who had been with the ’florist eight years was not familiar with this area and became lost before linding the Woodard home. A black open ! truck drove up beside the floral truck and asked it the driver had the funeral flowers. He told the two men in the truck that he did have them but had been unable to lind the house and asked if they would direct him. The men told i hint the funeral was being con ducted at the graveside and if he would transfer the flowers to their truck they would get them to the cemetery before the family ar i'i' cu .. . they were going that . ..... i... flowers were trans-err tu and the floral truck returned to Suf oik. When the undertaker leturned to Suffolk he reported that no flowers ever arrived at the funeral. The loss of the flowers was re ported to the Northampton boun ty Sheriffs department but they have reported no clues. Representatives of the florist who were here trying to check on the : lowers, talked to a negro man who reported seeing an open truck loaded with flowers in Garysburg, which is approximate ly twelve miles from the seers of the funeral and to another man who was hauling cotton seed re ported having seen a truck of that discription loaded with flowers in the vicinity of Dunn on that day. However, no definite information has been obtained. Another similar incident was re ported in Littleton last week when a large number of funeral designs were stolen from the grave during the night following the funeral. Johnston County farmers in a local cotton contest are obtaining higher yields where the rows are less than 3 1-2 feet in width and ' there are several stalks in a hill.
