FILLING STATION GETS
SIX-MONTH SALES BAN
OPA Order Issued Against James
Henry Holmes, of Kittrell,
Koufe 1
A six-month suspension order
against James Henfy Holmes, op
erator of a filling station on Kit
trell, Route 1, has been issued
by Judge Daniel L. Bell, OPA
regional hearing commissioner.
The order prohibits Holmes from
buying, selling, or delivering gas
oline during the period from Oc
tober 11 to April 11, 1944.
Announcement of issuance of
the order, ftnpoged because of
violations of the gasoline ration
ing regulations, was announced
here by Theodore S. Johnson,
Raleigh district director of the
OPA.
Johnson said that the order re
sulted from OPA charges that
Holmes '^(1) had a shortage of
140 gallons of gasoline or cou
pons; (2) that he registered his
station's storage capacity as 39'0
gallons when his actual storage
capacity was 280 gallons; (3)
that he delivered gasoline into
passenger autos on 'TT' ration
coupons; (4) that lie purchased
a passenger auto and accepted
and used the 'A' ration of the
former owner after the transfer
of the car; (5) that he had one
'R' and four 'E' coupons bearing
no endorsement in his possession,
showing that gasoline had been
delivered in exchange for same
without the receiver of the gas
oline endorsing the ration cou
pons; and (6) that he transferred
60 gallons of gasoline to a buyer
upon agreement that ration cou
pons would be accepted in ex
change subsequently."

Fire Protection Needed
More than 136 million acres of
forest lands still lack organized
protection against forest fire, the
Forest Service reports. This is!
approximately one-fourth of the
total area classed as needing pro
tection. Eigthy-six per cent of
the total acreage burned last year
was on this unprotected area.
A recent survey indicates that
the average city housewife wastes
more than three-fourths of a
pound of food for each individ
ual e,very day. The highest
waste is in perishable fruits and
vegetables.
Egg production for Augtfist of
1943 was 9 per cent above the
same month last year, and the
production for the first eight |
months of the year was 13 per
cent above a year ago.

Th@ members of the class now
are making dresses.
We hope to be able to put this
valuable information into practice
more fully by organizing a sew
