RETAILERS REGISTER!

ed to do so at once. The State

June 30 is Final
Date for Cashing
Old Cotton Stamps
Merchants of Franklin County
who stillt have stamps redeemed
for cotto^i fabrics under the 1941
supplementary cotton program
must cash them on or before
June 30, according to Mr. Ire T.
Inscoe, chairman <of the County
AAA Committee.
These stamps, the chairman
said, were issued to farmers in
1941 in return for reducing their
cotton acreage below their AAA
acreage allotments, and were us
ed to purchase cotton materials
from local merchants.
"Reports received by AAA of
ficials at Raleigh indicate that
some of these stamps issued in
this state never have been cash
ed by the merchants who accept
ed them," Mr. Inscoe said. "The
federal appropriation under which
these stamps were issued will ex
pire on June 30, and all stamps
not cashed by that date will be
come invalid as no funds will be
available for this purpose."
The cotton stamp plan, he said,
was discontinued aft?T 1941, but
many farmers held their stamps
for several monthi before using
them. Any cotton stamps still
in the hands of farmers can he
used until June <M). During op
eration of the plan, it is estima
ted that Franklin County farm
ets received stamps valued at ap
proximately 129,298.50.
Merchants desiring to cash
stamps still on hand must mail
them on or before June 30 to W.
Ellis Jones, Chief of Fiscal Sec
tion, Food Distribution Adminis
tration, Western Union Building,

New Postal System Speeds
Mail Delivery In
Large U. S. Cities
As a means of speeding special
deliveries of mails in the large
cities of the country, the Post
Office department has established
substations for the delivery of
mail, each substation having a
number, it was announced this
week by the office postmaster.
The cities which have been se
lected for such service In North
Carolina and vicinity are Char
lotte and Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, South Carolina; and
Norfolk, Richmond, and Roanoke.
Virginia.
A total of 133 cities in the
country, comprising practically
all cities with population as great
as 75,000 have been given this
service because of the increased
load of postal business and the
shortage of clerks, more than
40,000 having gone to war.
' Persons corresponding with
people living in these large cit
ies are urged to find out their
mw address, complete with sub
station number and to . address
their mail accordingly(
The postal authorities have re
ceived numerous favorable com-]
ments on this new system which
enabfes them to irender faster
service with fewer employees
than the old system of one cen
tral station for sorting mail for
the entire city.

IMPORTANT
DELIVERY
CHANGES
EFFECTIVE
JUNE 28, 1943
Due to the very drastic cut in our gaso
line by the Office of Defense Transportation
we are compelled to curtail our delivery ser
vice. There is certainly no desire on our part
to have to take this action, but when you can
not get the gasoline to run with it leaves noth
ing else for us to do.
Beginning Monday, June the 28th, our
schedule will be as follows:
Mondays, one delivery at 10 o'clock.
Fridays, one delivery at 3 o'clock.
V . i
Saturdays, two deliveries, one at 10 a. m.
and one at 5 p. m.
This means four deliveries per week.
No orders for less than two dollars will be
delivered at any time.
?
We ask your cooperation in this matter.
You will of course realize this is a war meas
ure and we are sure you will do what you can
to help us out.

61/ Joe Marsh
Redly funny how some little
every -day things can affect the
course of history. For instance,
did you know that one of the
main reasons for the Pilgrims
landing on Plymouth Rock was
because the Mayflower was run
ning out of beer?
Yeesir, you can read it in an
original manuscript of 1622, an
account of the settling of Ply
mouth?where it says: "...we
could not now take time for fur
ther search or consideration;
our victuals being, much spent,
. . . (specially our beer . .
Just goes to show how good
beer has been a part of American
life right from the beginning.
Yes, and it's had a big part in
making us a tolerant, moderate
people, happy to live and let
live. Because beer is a drink at
moderation and good fellowship.
