"We will see that every esaei j tial worker gets to his job," OP ! pledged, adding that additional and C coupons will be issued i cases where grave hardship resull from the new curtailments. "But each request for cxti gasoline will be scrutinized closi ly," it said. In the 17 East Coast states coupons continues to have a fa( value of three gallons, but ti weekly ration is increased t shortening the period durir which coupons are valid. Thus, e: isting A-6 coupons expire Noven ber 8 instead of November 2 while the A-8 coupons in the ne: book, now being distributed t ration boards, will become val; November 9, good for three ga Ions each through February 8. A-7 coupons were removed fro: the books before they were di tributed in the East. Although the A ration in tl Midwest and Southwest rcmaii at three gallons a week, one ga Ion must be used for occupation: driving before the motorist is ei titled to supplemental B or C ri tions, OPA stipulated. The re trictions does not apply on tl East Coast. The effect, OPA sai is to allow two gallons a week f< family or "unrestricted" drivir for motorists in all parts of tl country except the Pacific Coa and the Rocky Mountain states. The sweeping redistribution i gasoline supplies was based of nc ILOT, SOUTHPORT, N. C. allocations of petroleum for the entire region east of the Rocky Mountains, announced by Sec? retary of Interior Ickes, head of 5 , the Petroleum Administration for j War. The East Coast, under Ickes' al'* lotments, will get 378,000 barrels a day, but only 350,000 barrels of lS this will go to trucks, buses and! i" passenger automobiles. This compares with 342,000 barrels for civilian highway use under the prea vious allocation, or a net increase "- of 8,000 barrels daily. r The Middle West will receive 0 467,000 barrels a day, compared i. with a previous allocation of 480,h 000 barrels, while the Southwest i- will get 145,000 barrels daily, comi. pared with 140,000 previously. Out of the new totals, however, is taken the amount needed for farm 11 and industrial use. This subtrac'0 tion was not made when the pre * vious allocations were announced? ie thus accounting for the apparent increase in the allotment on the " Southwest. s, 'This is all the gasoline that ie there is for civilian use this period after making provisions for the present large and future increasing needs of the military," Ickes said. ."The allocations include amounts which the Office of Defense Transportation has de'01 termined to be adequate to pronitect essential civilian uses and to >-1 represent parity distribution of d supplies as beween areas." 0 18 Fine Farm Organization ?

' v a kL Galloway at Supply, this past week, revealed the fact that practically all the corn brought in to be ground was new crop. This does not mean that all of last years production is exhausted as the new crop, when dry enough, makes better meal and grits than old stock. The Galloway mill was about flooded with corn waiting to be ground. Reports are that other grist mills about the county are likewise rushed. Nearly all such mills are operated either by tractors or gas engines. Here and' there a mill is found where steam is still being utilized. The J. W. Brooks mill in Waccamaw township is understood to be the only one in Brunswick that employs water power. This mill has rather widespread fame for the fine quality of meal that it turns out.

Much interested in the proposed bus line linking Whiteville to Southport and passing through Supply, Shallotte and Ash, Mr. Holmes stated this week that he is going to try to get mail service extended from Ash to Shallotte, I via the bus line. In fact, he' thought it a fine plan for a mail j route from Whiteville, serving Old Dock, Ash, Shallotte and Supply, as well as Southport. While worrying over how he is to attend to all the work that his; office already has, Mr. Holmes is! still finding time to try for anything that will improve the Shallotte mail service for his patrons.
