Sr. Sugar, Coffee Rationing May Be Suspended automoblleB on unofficial trips are violating ithe law and making It more difficult for the general public to accept severe driving limitations. The committee Is studying his Mil to curb such un official use. Sterting on July 1, eligibility for tires for drivers with mileage rations of 240 miles or less a month will be determined as fol lows: 1. In the Extern area, where maximum non-occupational driv ing for “A” card holders is 90 miles a month, drivers with no other coupons cannot get replace ments. But they may still have present tires recapped if necessary without obbeinlng rationing certi fies tea. 2. The rest of the nation, where the “A’’ coupon is good for 240 miles a month, the applicant for tires must show he uses his car for an essential purpose. Present regulations make any drivers with a mileage ration of 240 miles or less a month eligible for used or recapped tires. | The new order does not affect j drivers with monthly rations In excess of 240 miles, es they get: new tires when they need replace ments. -V- Father of Wilkesboro Man Buried Sunday President Roosevelt Friday held out the prospect that sugar soon may be removed from the ration list, followed later by coffee. it all depends upon how suc cessfully the Allied anti-subma rine campaign goes. The possibility was set forth in Mr. Roosevelt’s message vetoing the congressional ban on snbsi- dies. He said: “We must not only keep the price of . . . necessities down, but we must increase when we can. the supply v hich helps relieve the pressure for higher prices and helps reduce the temptations of the black markets. “With the improvement in the war against the submarine wc may even be able soon to remove, su | gar and possibly later coffee from the ration list.” -V- Funeral services for John E, Shuford. 54, tether of Richard Shutord, of Wilkesboro, were held Sunday, June 27, at Moriah’s Chapel, in Caldwell county.
