TIGHTEN UP RULE
ON RATIONING OF
PASSENGER TIRES
Only The Most Essential
Persons Can Secure Tires
In The Near Future
In an important change in tire
regulations, OPA has announced
that eligibility for new passenger
car tires now will be on an “oc
cupational” basis rather than on
the basis of mileage traveled.
This step was taken, an OPA
statement said, to conserve inade
quate stocks of new tires and the
rapidly diminishing supply of used
passenger tires available for ra
tioning.
“Since there are not enough
tires to meet all essential needs,”
L. W. Driscoll, district OPA di
rector at Charlotte said, “local
rationing boards will have to do
a most careful screening job in
considering applications filed by
persons eligible under the new
program within the already tight
tire quotas assigned to boards.
Motorists doing work most essen
tial to the war effort, the public
health and safety, will have to
come first.” Under the new pro
gram tires will be rationed in the
following orders
First: New tires (Grade I) to
the most essential drivers accord
ing to a list of essential occupa
tions which has been furnished to
local boards. Persons in these
groups may also get certificates
for Grade III tires, if new ones
are not available.
Second: Used tires and “war
tires” (Grade III) will go to es
sential users.
Third: Motorists who do not use
their cars in connection with their
work will continue to be ineligible
for tires of any sort and must con
tinue to rely on repairs and re
capping.
Fourth: In the southeast, no
driver holding an “A” card is
eligible to buy tires of any sort.

reviewed the work of the past
year. They are well pleased with
the plans to assist farmers in Tran
sylvania county. The FSA is trying
to help produce “more food for
victory” by working in both home
and general farm work.
Mr. Fletcher stated that if at
any time he can give any infor
mation to or be of any help to
farmers he will be glad to do so.
Transylvania and Henderson
counties have been put under one
supervision and because of the
necessity of division of time be

RHIEF GROUP IN
EFFECTIVE WORK
United China Relief Figures
Released Show A Wide
Program Of Effort
According to figures recently
released, it was revealed that Uni
ted China Relief sent to China for
its 1943 relief program $8,612,155.
02, it is announced by Mrs. Oliver
Orr, chairman of the United China
Relief committee of Transylvania
county.
This amount is an increase of
more than three and a half mil
lion over the sum sent in 1942
and almost five million more than
was sent in 1941. The 1943 relief
program covered five fields of
effort, including education, medi
cine, public health, child care, di
rect relief and self-help projects.
In the field of medicine and
public health United China Relief
continued its support of army and
civilian hospitals and emergency
medical service training schools;
aided the transportation of mddi
cal supplies and gave assistance in
the anti-epidemic work of the
Chinese health administration.
“The past year, during which
China was virtually blockaded by
the Japanese, and great natural
disasters brought tremendous addi
tional suffering to the Chinese
people, has been a test of our re
lief program in China,” Mrs. Orr
said. “We rejoice that through our
affiliated groups in China, an ever
growing chain of trained and will
ing helpers throughout the country
we have been able to meet many
difficult situations promptly and
effectively.”

We Announce
-with
The Discontinuance in Brevard of Laundry and
Dry Cleaning Service for the Duration
Effective Today!
Wartime conditions have brought about such a shortage of man
power, we have found it impossible to continue in Brevard and vicinity
the type of Laundry and Dry Cleaning service we have maintained in
the past. We have, therefore, after mature consideration and with
sincere regret, decided to discontinue serving our Brevard customers for
the duration, effective today.
We wish to impress on our friends in Brevard that this decision
was forced upon us and this step was taken only because there was no
alternative choice. We have enjoyed a splendid, growing business in
Brevard and have at all times endeavored to render satisfactory, de
pendable service.
Please accept our sincere thanks for the business you have given
us and the many courtesies extended our agents. We hope to be back
serving you when the war clouds shall have passed away—and to dis
sipate them sooner BUY WAR BONDS!
NOTICE:
The garments now in our plant will be finished
and delivered, but there will be no further
pick-ups.
