Many 17-year-old boys have s
issed their chance to enlist in
ie Navy because they waited too t
te to apply, according to Jesse f
elms, petty oficer-in-charge of |1
ie Wilmington Navy Recruiting jv
ation. j
"In order to make sure of getng

lould make appliaciton at this t
fice no later than a week beire
his 18th birthday. For, as
ton as he, is 18, he no longer is
igible to volunteer for any
-anch of the service, but must
lswer his call wfih his local draft
>ard."
The recruiter said that a num>r
of 17-year-olds had come to
te Wilmington station on the
ly before they were 18. Since it
ikes a few days to complete contnt
papers and enlistment forms,
ie boys naturally did not haveiv

Brunswick Has Reached Its

County Buying Liberally
But Official Decries
Action of Some Shipyard
Workers In
Cashing In Theirs
Brunswick county went bounding
over the top, Monday, in the
sale of 3rd War Loan Bonds, according
to Chairman R. P. Plaxco.
Of the relatively small quota
}f $103,000.00 that was assigned
to Brunswick county, corporationes
bought $70,000.00 worth
snd individual buyers, with their
Series "E" purchases, came
icross with the rest to reach the
juota.
Although the quota has been
reached in this county the drive
to sell the bonds is far from beng
over. The county is just becoming
awakened to the need of
sacking the men who are overseas
lighting for the homeland. It is
ilso just beginning to be brought
lome to many individuals that
die bonds are the best investments
that can be made. They
ire "the best buy in the world toiay."
Brunswick folks are just
beginning to buy as a saving investment
and the piactice of turnng
right around and cashing the
Jonds, as soon as they are bought,
a being seriously frowned upon.
Chairman Plaxco has just been
idvised by C. T. Leinbach of

Books Removed F rom
New Tire Eligibility Along
With Some "C" Book
Holders
ONLY ESSENTIAL
DRIVERS ELIGIBLE
Action Becomes Effective
October 1, And Is Necessary
To Distribute
Available Tires To
Those Who Need
Them Most
Eligibility for new passenger
tires (Grade 1) has been restricted
by the Office of Price Administration
to "C" book drivers (
with a mileage of 601 or more
miles per month, says W. P. Jorgensen,
Chairman of the Brunswick
County War Ration Board.
This removes from new tire eli- I
gibility all "B" drivers and some
"C" book holders. Previously all
car owners whose mileage totaled
241 or more miles a month could
obtain ration certificates for
Grade 1 tires ? pre-war or new
synthetic.
The new restriction is necessary,
Mr. Joreensen explained, to as
sure that the dwindling supply
of pre-war tires and adequate
supplies of new synethetic tires
for passenger car can be distributed
to those who need them.
The necessity for further limiting
the number of motorists who
can get new tires stresses the
importance of continuing maximum
recapping, regular tire inspections,
and of making every
other effort to conserve the tires
now on wheels.
The OPA is acting in accordance
with the recent statement
of the Office of the Rubber Director
that "only those drivers
whose work is most essential to
the winning of the war can count
on new replacement tires for at
least the next twelve months." j
' 1t0 the hope of increasing
number of tires available,/ The j
Office of the Rubber Director has ' H
launched a plan to cull any serv- *1
iceable tires from scrap piles.
'Emergency" tires, good for limited
wear, are being taken from
government warehouses, junkyard,
and auto graveyards, and are being
placed in service through OPA ' I
rationing. i I
However, acute shortages are
developing in many parts of North it
Carolina and threaten, unless
checked, a serious disruption of
war workers' transportation. To
prevent this, a greater selectivity
in issuing rationing certificates is j j
necessary. Substantial reductions
in tire ration quotas will also be
made. i j
This action is effective October g J
1, 1943.

DEER, 'POSSUM, COON
The season for deer, coon and opos- I I
sum hunting opens Friday. Hiese , j
animals are said to be plentiful, ! j
most hunters have a dog and gun, a J
but very few of them seem to Ml
have the ammunition for the gun.
It would, therefore, seem that * 1
there is a good season in prospect i ^
from the standpoint of the game. '
Three buck deer are allowed
each hunter during the season, ' i
which runs from October 1, to ;*
January 1. It is unlawful to kill a
doe deer at any time.
The open season on coons and 1
opossums runs from October 1 %
to February 15. For such hunting
a general hunting license is, at
course, required. |. Trappers must ?
