School News1
School Reopens Jan. 1
Despite the very bad weather on
New Year's day, the high school
opened with comparatively few ab
sences. Classes began just where
they were dropped a week before,
and after the first exchange of
greetings one could Jiardly tell that
there had been a break in activities.
This is as it should be, for January
and February are good months to do
real school work. The school au
thorities constantly stress. perfect
attendance on the part of all stu
dents. That is, the first prerequis
ite of good work.

We have enjoyed some very in
teresting programs this year. Some
of them have been on our own state, i
North Carolina. We drew maps of
the state and placed on them the
cities we would like to visit. After
selecting the cities and the places
of interest in each we desired to
visit, we prepared a paper on our
trip. Some of them were most in
teresting.
At the present time our club is be
ginning a study of South Carolina.
Our plans are to make as many
studies of the different states as we
can, pointing out the things a
traveler will be most interested in
seeing.

FEWER TIRES
FOR JANUARY
New tire quotas released by the Office of Price Administration for
January reveal that fewer tires will be available for both passenger
cars and trucks. For the next several months, no improvement is
expected, as the military demands are greater than ever. The Army,
itself, is putting back into service hundreds of thousands of tires by
repairing and recapping. - We, on the home front, must take better
care of our tires if we wish to continue driving. And that goes for
EVERYONE!
Here is the Picture
FOR PASSENGER CARS
In this County there are l,238Passenger Cars?But only 136
Tires Are Available in January.
FOR TRUCK OWNERS
In this County there are 672 Trucks ? But only 74 Large
Siz? Tires Are Allotted For January.
?Here Is What Col. J. Monroe Johnson, Director
Office of Defense Transportation Says:
"Present indications are that all commercial motor vehicle operators
will receive only about one-half of their estimated the requirements dur
ing the first quarter of 1945. This presents a challenge to all truck, bus
and taxi operators to make the greatest effort possible to continue and to
step up their tire conservation activities. The present tire supply situation
is the most critical since the war started. A Paris dispatch quoted General
Eisenhower as saying that 'tire wear has exceeded all pre-combat esti
mates' and that 'the American armies fighting along the German border
face a tire shortage so serious it threatens to tie up ten per cent of all Army
vehicles by early February.' Conserve everyounce of usable rubber you
now have. Retread and recap every usable carcass and eliminate wear
and tear and tire abuse wherever possible. If tires aren't saved now, rub
ber-borne. transportation will be seriously affected, if not impaired months
hence when the hot weather with its heavy toll of tires begins."
COL. J. MONROE JOHNSON, Director
Office of Defense Transportation.
Take Care of Your Tires
REPAIR - RECAP
Even those eligible for new tires may not be able to get them under
the reduced quotas. Heed these simple instructions. Drive careful
ly. Keep properly inflated. Have tires inspected regularly and
have all bruises, holes or breaks repaired quickly. When tread is
worn .mooth, RECAP PROMPTLY!
