Motor Club Asks
The Appointment
Of Gas Director
Urging the appointment of a
gasoline director to have super
v.. ion over the distribution -and
production of gasoline, and ro
qnesting the Attorney General of
t ie United States to take action
to determine if certain parties
are guilty of treason, is the latest
move in the efforts of the Caro
lina Motor Club to bring justice
and equal rights to the people of
the Carolinas and the Southeast-,
ern according to a state-'
mem issued today by Coleman W
Roberts, president of that organi-1
zation.
Attorney General Francis Bid
die has been urged to look into
t lie acts of treason which the Mo
tor Club president claims to have
been committed, and are now i
being committed Unoughouv the I
Carolmas by the consumption of
critical war materials such as
tires, trucks, gasoline, and man
power, in hauling gasoline back
and forth across the State in
order to earn additional trans
portation revenue or collect Gov
ernment subsidies.
The Carolina Motor Club presi
dent h^s likewise suggested to
Stabilization Director. James F.
Byrnes, that the only solution to
this problem can come from the
appointment of a Director of
Gasoline just as we now have a j
Director of Rubber. "The muddle J
is so dirty that it smells to the I
high heavens and something |
needs to t-? done about it." said
Mr. Roberts.
Gasoline is being transported \
back and forth across the Caro- i
linas. and in some instances way
bills are being taken to the Ports
of Charleston and WilminEton. by
utomobile. and there new bills
are made and brought back, and
transportation charges are col
lected for the hauling of gas that
has never been hauled.
"The people of the C.irolinas
and Southeastern States have
long suffered this discrimination
with patience, but now when we
learn the gas is available, or
would be available under proper
distribution methods, they are
up in arms and arc demanding
that something be done about it."
The Carolina Motor Club is
simply furnishing the information
to the government and urging
that an investigation be made
with private citizens as a part of
the investigating body, so that
we may know the truth about the
whole situation and no' depend
entirely upon the petroleum offi
cials to furnish the information
or upon government departments
to make the investigation.
People throughout the two
Cfcrolinas are giving us their
wholehearted cooperation. Our {
mails are flooded with letters of
encouragement, letters giving us
specific and additional informa
tion concerning the wastefulness
of the method of distribution of
gasoline within the Carolims.
Members of Congress from
North and South Carolina are
likewise receiving their share of
Protests and Requests that they
do something about it. or urging
an investigation and the possible
appointment of a Oasoline Direc
tor.

What Is "Home-Canned"
Foods are "home-canned", says
OPA. if ? <1> They have been
canned in a kitchen primarily
used for the preparation of meals,
or to demonstrate the prepara
tion of meals. '2> they have been
canned in a separate building or
shed, which a farm home has j
equipped for canning purposes, i
provided that the owner has first
obtained permission from his local I
ration board to use such facilities. |
Farm Meat Regulation*
New meat-rationing regulations
provide that a farmer ami his j
family may consume meat raised i
on any farm he owns or operates.'
and may transfer meat from one
of his frams to another to provide
food for members of the house
hold, wit: out giving up ration i
points, even if the meat is not
slaughtered on his farm, however,
if the farm owner does not live |
on a farm, he must give up ration
points for any meat he consumes
elsewhere. Under the original rep
ulations. a farmer who brought
his own cattle to a custom slaugh
tering plant had to surrender red
point stamps for meat, while if
he killed and dressed the animal
himself the meat was "ration
free". A farm or ranch employer
who feeds his employees in a
bunkhouse or dinner hall may
now use meat and other rationed
food raised on his farm on the
same basis as if the employees
were fed in the household.
Sugar Allowed For Tannine
Sugar for home canning will
be limited to one pound for each
four quarts (or eight potinds> of
the finished product and may be
secured on written application to
the housewife's local board. Each
person is allowed not more than
25 pounds. Any family can apply
for sugar Jo put up Jams, jellies,
and preserves at the rate of five
pounds per person. Last year, su
gar for preserves was limited to
one person per pound.

PIGS
On January 1. 1942 there were
60.377.000 hogs on U. S. farms.
Tt is estimated that the 1043 pig
crop may total 125.000.000 as
compared with 105.000.000 last
year. Some body bet ter grow some
extra feed.
Ten to 15 per cent of Georgia's
1942 bumper crop of cotton was
picked by volunteer city folks.
Some grades of "farm butter"
ma.v be reduced in point value to
prevent waste or .spoilage, as a
result of an amendment to the
meats-fats rationing regulations
of OPA. "Farm butter" or "Coun
try butter" usually is produced in
small quantities by formers and
.- ?Id locally. Since it is not of uni
form quality, it is considerably
more perishable than commercial
ly produced butter. The amend
ment. empowers the OPA regional
directors, when authorized by the
Washington office, to deal with
local emergency cases.

Changing Conception Of

nany teachers -1 ill conceive the
hool .i place where the child
its at his de-k for about .six
lours a day nudim . writing, and
imng number work. Many feel
hat a school that provides only
his training for their children is
join? a satisfactory job." he con
linued.
"There are two philosophies of
ducat ion being realized in our
chool .systems in North Caroline
today. The one philosophy lends
itself to what we call the subject
matter centered school, which,
incidentally, was what you women
had for the most part when you
attended school Children attend
ing this type spend the day work
ing independently, writing, raid
ing and figuring, with nil the re
sponsibility for their direction be
ing dictated by the teachers.
"In the other school a far dif
ferent philosophy prevails. In this
type what is known as a child
centered program of education
exists: education for living. The
needs and interests and abilities
cf the children determine the
school program The children
are encouraged do bekin solving
everyday life problems at an early
age. The program seeks to develop
the child socially, emotionally,
physically, normally and spiritual
ly. We recognize the fact that the
only sound philosophy and back
ground upon which to build an
education is a spiritual one.
"The major objective of tfrie
school of the latter type is to do
everything in its power to see that
every child develops into a well
rounded. well-balanced human
being. It has three major objec
tives t academic skills must be
