OPA Officials Say
. Tire Situation Is.
Getting “Tighter”
The tire situation for the next
two or three months is going to Dei
“tight,” officials of Price Admints- I
tration said today.
The reason is quite simply stated:!
There are very few tires available.
Illustrating the situation, OPA of
ficials pointed out that approximate
ly 10,0 m i unfilled applications for
tires were carried over from June to
July in the Raleigh district alone.
Most of the available rubber is
going into tires, for the armed forces,
officials explained. This is particu
larly true of truck tires. And while
synthetic rubber is now being manu
factured, t is being made in such
limited quantities, as hardly to affect
the situation. Relief, due to synthe
tic rubber., is hardly to be expected
for three months, or perhaps longer, j
To the average motorist the OPA j
can offer just one hit of assistance. |

“Down In Texas”
* E, T. Rawlinson, who is noted for
! his choice, spieey contributions to
The Herald office, brought the follow
ing poem, which lie received from a
friend -in Washington City:
We're down here in old Texas
Where you never have the blues
Where the bandits steal the jitneys
And the marshals steal the booze
Where the buildings horn the skyline
Where the populace is boost
Where they shoot men just for
pastime
Where the chickens never roost
Where the stickup men are wary
Ami the bullets fall like hail
Where each pocket has a pistol
And each pistol’s good for jail
Where they always hang the jury
Where they never hang a man
If you call a man a liar you
Get home the best you can
Where you get up in the morning
In a world of snow and sleet
And you come home in the evening
Suffocating in the heat
Where the jitneys whiz about you
And the street cars barely creep
Where the burglars pick your pockets
While you "lay me down to sleep*
Where the bulldogs all have rabies
And the rabbits they have fleas
Where the big girls like the wee ones
Wear their dresses to their knees j
Where you whisk out in the morning 1
Just to give your health a chance 1
Say “howdy” to some fellow who J
Shoots btg holes in you pants
W'here wise owls are afraid to hoot 1
And birds don’t dare to sing
For it’s hell down here in Texas |
Where they all shoot on the wing.

Y The Norfolk Southern Bus Corporation, during J
1 the past several months, has carried the greatest num- 1
s ber of bus passengers during its history. ,
I During those months traveling was not exactly , >
i a pleasure. Many times, perhaps, you had to stand up
during your trip, and found traveling rather difficult,
i But we want to thank those who rode our buses and 1 >
r were good sports in accepting conditions as they were.
J There is no indication that bus travel will become « I
7 lighter and therefore, we must tell you that in nearly
I all cases our buses will be filled to capacity on most days t
throughout the week .... so if you are going to travel 1 '
you may discover you will have to stand at least part
of the way. t *
We suggest that you observe the Office of De
fense Transportation's request, “don’t travel unless it is < ►
absolutely necessary." * T
When you do plan a trip, however, you can help 4
us by planning ahead of time and making complete ar- ,
ragements for your trip before you leave. Consult
our Bus Agent nearest your home town for complete in- 1 *
Y formation. Buy your ticket before boarding buses and
I travel light. Carry only one piece of luggage i'
1 traveling light will mean more room for fellow
travelers.
