WIRES RETURN FROM FLORIDA Former Brevard Mayor Says He’s “Ready to Raise A Victory Garden.” “I’m going to devote my time now to raising a Victory Garden,” J. Carl Wike, well known and prominent Brevard man said this week upon returning from St. Petersburg, Fla., where he and his wife and daughter, Mrs. Flora Barclay and grandson, Thomas B. Barclay IV spent the winter. “We had an enjoyable winter in Florida, but it certainly feels good to be back home,” Mr. Wike said. Living in Florida impresses one with the fact that a war is going on, the former Brevard mayor de clared. “There are many train ing camps in that state and the boys drill in the streets in some places.” “No, I didn’t do a great deal of fishing because of the gasoline shortage,” he asserted.

Ra tioning Boards have determined that Truck owners and holders of B and C gaso line books are engaged in more essential work and therefore are permitted to op erate their vehicles more. As a result, they naturally need more mechanical ser vice and we are going to give them priority in our shop, in co-operation with the war effort. THE TROTH ABOUT AUTO AND TRUCK PARTS The Government has given manu facturers priorities to make 75 per cent of ail FUNCTIONAL passenger car parts as of the base period of 1941, the peak year, and 125 per cent of FUNCTIONAL truck parts. While there have been some parts that have been slow in coming through, our parts service on the whole has been unusually good. We'll continue to make every ef fort to supply all Your Parts Needs. Auto and Truck transportation is abso lutely essential to winning the war and we feel that it is our patriotic duty to give Prefer ence Service to those with Preferred Mileage. At the same time, however, we are going to do everything possible to take care of all the mechanical needs of those who have just A cards. In the future, service will be given to them by appointment, or when a slack period develops. The co-operation of all truck and auto owners will be appreciated.
