Expert Tells Two Ways
To Ease Feet In Fields
For foot comfort: Put a little
piece of lamb's wool between your
toe sto prevent soft corns forming
if your work requires long hours of
standing.
Try this when you're gardening:
Take a good piece of wool cloth scrap
from an old suit or coat. Trace the
outline of your shoe sole on It and
then cut it out one-fourth inch
smaller. Place this wool scrap
smoothly in the bottom of your shoe
and you will find it, not only a soft
cushion to stand on but also a pro
tection from dampness and cold.

States Magic Eye
Shows Auto Travel
Is Decreasing Fast
"Ma*ic-eyr" traffic counter* plac
ed at strategic points along highways
by the suite are allowing that motor
travel us dropping off considerably
as compared with the same spot of
road a year ago.
Averaging findings on 24 highways
show s a decrease for March of 16.1
l?'r cent over the same month in
1941 During February the decrease
was only 9 3 per cent as compared
with February. 1941
These traffic counts arc for the
rural area. James S Burcli. Statis
tics Engineer fo rthe Highway Com
mission believes urban traffic de
crease is slightly higher. Burcli also
said that 'from information we have
it is believed county roads are off
more tlian main highways".
One of the largest decreases in
traffic is on U. S. 1 north of Raleigh
where a 20.6 per cent decrease was
registered :n February and a 21.4
per M iit decrease in March over the |
same months of 1941. Burch sug- 1
?e.st - Kit thu deci-e-ii- is caused pri
marily by the decrease in touris:
ti-avel.
Estimating just how much more
| travel will decrease by 1943 is about
| like estimating when the present
war will end.

AX THE AXIS
i NEW DRAFT CALL
SENT TO COUNTY:
MEN GO IN MAY
Former Classification
Lists Being Studied;
-May Be Revised
Allot her call for mrn to be ortlt
? > the army has been received by
I Secretary Walker, of the County
I Draft B. lard, and those whose mun
i bers have been readied will ')e nct;
! tied within the next fc-? days.
Censorship forbids sjHiik tne
i number to be taken, but it m.iy be
? stated that the group will be about
the same sure as the others thai h?v?
tone
The men will not be requind to
leave until the middle of ntxt month.
Thus far. calls have been received
only once a month and on several oc
casions this county has been passed
by because of its many volunteers. |
From now on. however, it is not un
likely that there may be two calls a
| month. Volunteers, now-a-days are
I few nd far between in the county ? !
f although in the his cities, they arc |
reported to be on the increase.
Word comes from the Navy that
any man subject to draft may enlist ]
in that branch of the service, if he
prefers, provided his number has
not actually been called.
Meanwhile the County Board is
reported to be making a careful
study of all draftees who have been
given deferment because married or
for other reasons, and there may be
a reclassification. Rules liave been
tightened so that deferment Li often
being denied a married man if his
wife is able to support herself.
Also a plan is now being formulat
ed in Washington whereby married
men may be drafted into the service
even though their wives are unable
to support themselves. In such
cases support would be supplied by
a special Federal allotment.

The term "truck" includes pick
ups. Farmers are also eligible to get
new tires for their tractors and other
farm implements, providing they are ,
not changing from steel wheels to
rubber tires.
Farmers who use their passenger
cars to haul producc to and from {

are eligible to have tires recapped or '
to buy it capped tires.
This eligibility also applies to farm

Farmers who use their trucks for
