C. behind its actiwi in slicing away at civilian manufacture. Tbs neces sarily precedes the funneling of vastly increasing quantities of ma terials into war production. Reflecting this uftbending deter mination of the WPB are two or ders, one prohibiting the further use of iron find steel in a long list of products and the other calling halt to all construction not essen tial to the war purpose. Those two orders call for sacrifice. But let us keep always in mind that sacrifice aloni will not wia the war. It is not just doing without something which will vanquish our enemies: rather, victory will come as a result of positive, aggressive action—both on the home front and on the fighting front. We are now producing weapons for our armed forces and for our allies at the rate of some 30 billion dollars a year. It’s not enough, of course, but it’s three times what we were doing last year—and our pace is accelerating. Let Hitler and Hirohito and Mussolini think that over! Three Prob'ems Face U. S. The most important problem -w face on the Home Front today is that of production, but there are three other problems to be solved if we are to get production to the fullest. These problems are (1) shortages of material.s vital to the war effort: (2) inflation, which means that prices are getting higher and higher and that unless something is done we won’t get our full value in planes and weapons and .ships for our money: and (3) transportation. Transportation, both for passen gers and freight, is going to be come more difficult every day. Be cause of the increasing demands on the railroads,the office of De fense Transportation has asked government agencies and private bu.sinesse.s to order only the trans portation they know they can use . and al.so that ro.servations be made and tickets purchased well ahead of time. The pro’jlems of mo'or tmnspor- tatioTi increase also. The Office of Price -Administration warns that there s no guarantee that recapp ing material will be available even for the tires of defen.se workers . . . end that "national interest and not th‘ convenience of war worker” is the governing factor in j allocating such material. If you tirive to work, pool the use of your ..•ar with that of a neighbor or fel-l iow worker—tires will last twice as long. n. c.

Withinthe past few days, the OPA hae added many articles—including 44 elec trical appliances—to a long list of things over which it has set max imum prices. The OPA has just opened seven new branch offices, and more are to be opened as the need becomes apparent. In Los Angeles a tire dealer has been indicted for violating ration ing regulations, this being the first case of its kind on the Pacific Coast . . . And the City of Toledo, Ohio, lost in 8 court ruling that municipalities must conform to OPA price maximums. The city was selling street railway track scrap. Cigarettes Feel Pinch WPB has ordered cigarette man ufacturers to stop wrapping ciga rettes in lead foil after May 1, re gardless of how much lead foil they may have on. hand. Lead, let it not be forgotten, is the raw ma terial for bullets, and tetraethyl lead going intoi the making of hightest gasoline used in a 400- mile an hour fighting plane. And since lead is one of ^ the things we need in great quantities, it is one of the metals we must watch for especially as we push the "Salvage-for-Victory" Cam paign. This time of spring house- cleaning is a good time to collect any scrap metal, old rubber, rags or paper you have around your home. Give your waste to a chari table organization, or sell it to a scrap dealer. WPB is counting on it to help build the tanks, planes, ships and guns America needs. Clothing Affected The need for conservation of materials has reached into the field of women’s styles—but not with the same results as in the case of men’s clothing. About the only paralled between the rulings affecting men and those affecting women is that there will be no cuffs of man’s trousers . . . Other wise, the effect was to .save ma terial and at the same time avoid any drastic and arbitrary interfer ence with style. WPB’s effort was to strike an average and then to move within that average to ef fect savings. It won’t affect cloth es for this spring and summer anyway, since most of them arc already made.

Gaddy Motor Company North WOkesboro, North Carolina Washington, D. C. — Chairman Norman H. Davis has informed President Roosevelt that the $65,- 000,000 War Fund goal of the American Rqd Cross has been reached, with additional contribu tions .still being reported by chap ters throughout the country. In a letter to the President, Mr. Davis described results of the drive а. s ‘Tnagniricent proof not only of the vitality of the Red Cross but of the determination of the people to make whatever sacrifices are called for to win the war.” The drive was officially opened December 12, when President Roosevelt issued a proclamation asking the American people to sub scribe to the Red Cross War Fund of “a minimum of $.50,000,000.” With Red Cross volunteers ac tively engaged in the campaign in the more than 3,700 chapters throughout the 48 states, the mini mum goal of $50,000,000 was reached February 7, Chairman Da vis said. At that time the Red Cross asked the public for an over subscription to the Fund which would bring the total to $65,000,- 000. This was deemed advisable to meet the demands upon the Red Cross as a result of the growing war needs of the country, Mr. Da vis said. This goal was reached March 26. Thomas W. Lament, ct New York, served as chairman of the National Advisory Committee, and heading the campaign as national chairman was S. Sloan Colt, New York banker. Funds raised in the War Fund Campaig(n are being used to ex pand Red Cross services to the men of the armed forces, wherever they may be assigned, and on the home front. In his report to the President, Mr. Davis write, “Many sugges tions have been made that as a na tion we are not aroused to war. The response to the Red Cross War appeal is evidence to the con trary. As you know, the Red Cross has more than 3,700 chapters and б, 000 branches,averaglng three to a county in the 48 states. Every ope of these units has gone to work cheerfully and produced ■eoeroua results.” •Wi Dbligatioms of* States and political .subdivisions Other bonds, notes, and debentures —--^- Corpmate stocks (including NONE stock of Federal Re serve bank) — , :ash, balances with other banks, including reserve bal ances, and cash items in process of collection Bank premises owmed $41,000.00, furniture and fixtures $1,7,57.50 — "-NCrc: i - .
