To Change C
Hearing Here Friday Followed
' On Monday By
Meeting Which Resulted
In Final Decision Of
Brunswick Board
MAY APPEAL TO
THE STATE BOARD
Practice Followed At Southport
Precinct Was Chief
Contention At Hearing
Before The Board
After another all-day session of
argument had failed to settle the
question *olt' Fftday, members of
the Brunswick county board of
elections met here Monday afternoon
and voted by a margin of
two to one in favor of allowing
the results of the November 3
election to stand just as they are
I shown on the official tally sheets
J as certified on canvass day.
In the closest race of all this
gave John B. Ward, Democratic
candidate, a one-vote victory over
D. R. Johnson in their race for
judge of Recorder's court. All other
winners enjoyed a more comfortable
lead.
Friday's session before the election
board was given over to the
hearing of evidence being presented
by counsel for the Republican
party to show that certain precincts
of the county should be
thrown out in considering the final
vote, and in requesting a recount
in certain other places.
Many affidavits were placed in
evidence by counsey for both
sides.
The charge pressed most
seriously was that several voters
in Southport precinct were permitted
to cast their ballot while
seated in their cars in front of
the courthouse, and that this was
contrary to law, even though it
was admitted that such voting
was done in the presence of both
the Democratic judge and the Republican
judge. The Republican
claim was that these people
should have been voted absentee
if they were physically unfit to
visit the second-floor voting place.

Cotton Vote Is
Set For Dec. 12
Referendum On Marketing
Quotas For The 1943-44
Marketing Year Witt Be
Held On December 12th
North Carolina cotton producers
will join with others over the
Cotton Belt on Saturday, December
12, in a referendum on marketing
quotas for the 1943 - 44
marketing year, according to G.
T. Scott, chairman of the State
AAA Committee.
The referendum was called by
Secretary Wickard in proclaiming
quotas on the 1943 crop. Quotas
will not be in effect, however,
unless approved by at' least twothirds
of all producers voting in :
the referendum. A total of 73,291
North Carolina cotton producers '
voted in the referendum last year
with 69,756 favoring quotas and ,
3,535 voting against quotas for a
majority of 95.2 percent. In the
entire Cotton Belt 93.9 percent
of the growers favored marketing
quotas.
Cotton marketing quotas arc :
provided in the Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1938 under which '
the Secretary of Agriculture must;
proclaim quotas in any year in'1
which the cotton supply reaches;!
more than 107 percent of the
"normal" supply. The Act defines
this "normal" supply as a normal !
year's domestic consumption and j
exports plus 40 per cent for j1
carryover as a margin of safety, j
The indicated supply of 24,700,0001
bales of American cotton for theij

And First Tire Program
.
WILL MAKE TIRES
AVAILABLE FOR SOME
3ne Result Of This New
Plan Will Be To Place
Grade III Tires On
Market; Other Features
Explained
RALEIGH. ? Merging of the
gasoline and tire rationing programs
into a single system to
:ontrol mileage of passenger automobiles
according to essentiality
of use is the purpose behind the
new mileage rationing plan scheduled
to take effect on November
22, it was said today by W.
Hance Hofler, chief rationing officer
for the North Carolina office
of Price Administration.
Most of the penalty provisions
of the new regulations were effective
on November 9, he pointed
out.
On and after November 15 no
truck, bus, taxicab, or other commercial
vehicle may receive any
ration of gasoline or tires unless
it has in full force a Certificate
of War Necessity issued to it by
the Office of Defense Transporfa
f inn Thp OTTT th?
proper mileage permitted on a
uarterly basis and the OPA grants
gasoline and tires to such vehicles
as may be required to maintain
such maximum travel. The ODT
regulations became applicable to
the use of taxicabs on September
1, and they will become effective
as to the use of all commercial
vehicles on November 15.
After November 22 tires will
be rationed in accordance with
mileage needs, and the gasoline
ration in each instance will deter
mine the kind of tire ration or
service to be granted by local
boards, Mr. Hofler explained. For
example, he said, the holder of an
"A" ration who has a total gasoline
mileage of 240 or the holder
of a "B" ration who has 560 miles
or less per month, shall be eligible
for a recapping service or a
Grade Three tire. The holder of
a "C" ration, who has 561 to 1,?
020 miles per month shall be eligible
for recapping service or a
Grade Two tire. The holder of a
"C" ration who has 1,020 milca
per month or over shall be eligi- ?\
ble for recapping service or in the
discretion of the board a Grade
One tire.
Fleet passenger cars or pas- J
senger cars operated by a government
or government agency
shall be entitled to recapping set*
vice or Grade Three tires. In all
cases a new or used tube may. be.
granted, he said. Recapping will
be required in every possible Instance.
The exceptions to the classifications
outlined apply in favor
of new tire replacement for public
officials, such as fire fighters
or police, and for private persons
sucli" as doctors or puBlic utility
Kfrnnkln ?? ..-U_ k.
tiv/uwic onuukviOi wiiu 11 iciy uo
required by circumstances to drive
at excessive speeds. The board
has discretionary powers in granting
Grade One tires to persons
who arc allowed 1,020 or more
miles per month; as for example,
where high mileage is seasonal
or temporary the board may not
issue a Grade One tire. >
Grade One tires are new tires
other than Grade Two or Grade
Three tires, while Grade Two
tires arc described as being new
tires of inferior quality including
seconds and lower price than
standard new tires or defective
new tires slightly used or "takeoff,"
or new tires manufactured
prior to January 1, 1038.
Grade Three tires arc salvaged
tires which have been recapped,
new tires made of reclaimed rubber
or ordinary used tires. Grade
Three tires driven at 35 miles per
hour are good for about 7,000
miles, Mr. Hofler explained.
Trucks and commercial vehicles
which hold ODT certificates of
war necessity will receive recapping
service or new tires. Farm
tractors may be granted new tires
for rear wheels.
"It cannot be stated too emphatically,
however, that although
all motorists, commcrical and
private will be eligible for some
sort of tire service, those whose
travel is not required by the war
effort, must stand by until the
needs of such essential workers
have been met," Mr. Hofler said.
"The release of 'idle tires' and
the manufacture of camel - back
(recapping material) and Grade
Three tires from scrap rubber for
public ube will permit some enlargement
