RATIONING BOARD URGES
MOTORISTS TO RECAP OLD
TIRES OR FORFEIT FUTURE
APPLICATIONS
(From Local Rationing Board)
Applications for tires continue
to pour into the local office.
Stocks of fires are low and
quotas have been cut. Apparent
ly many car owners are trying to
get new tires when they have no
immediate need for them, there
by depriving others who are in
actual distress.
Many tires which are recap
pable are not being taken care of
by owners and they are warned
that if a tire is not recapped
when recommended by an inspec
tor that they are not eligibil;;
for any future tire allocation.
Other tires are being abused by
speed and when this is definitely
shown no tires will be issued.
Hundreds of used cars with
poor tires are being transported
into the tobacco counties and be
ing sold at fabulous prices. Pur
chasers are warned that new
tire 3 will not be provided for j
these cars except in unusual cases
where the need for the car can
be established.
Tire inspectors are expected to
keep these facts in rr.ind when
filing applications.

Last Request Of

"Tonight I am a tired, weary
Soldier as the shells burst in
the sliy;
There may be no tomorrow —
This may be my good-bye.
But if on the field I fall, dear,
And I number in the slain
I'll meet you in Heaven, darling,
In the land where angels sing.
Pray for me, my mother,
While I am far away.
I will be fighting for you darling,
And the good old U. S. A.
The good old U. S. A., dear,
The good old U. S. A.
I wfil be fighting for you, darling,
And the good old U. S. A.
The bugle now is sounding
I hear the roaring guns.
I soon will face the enemy,
Japan, the Rising Sun.
We will sweep her from the ocean,
We will clear her from the sky,
We will not forget Pearl Harbor
And our comrades there who
died.
As you receive this letter
On the front somewhere I'll bo
Fighting for God and country—
Fighting for liberty.
Pray every night for the Allies,
Ask God to help us win,
Soon the war will end over there,
Then peace, good will to men.
If on the field I fall, dear,
This is my last request,
Please bring me back to the
U. S. A.
The home I love the best.
Just place me on the hillside
Where as a lad I roamed,
lust let me lie in sleep there
Till God shall claim His own."

PJUCE CONTROL
HALTS INFLATION 4
(From Zocal Rationing Board)
The average man does not stop
to think what price control has V
meant to the most of living.
Actual statistics show that re
tail prices of food controlled by
ceilings rose only 4 percent, from
May, 1942 to May, 1943, whereas
food items not yet under ceiling
prices rose 74 percent. Consum
ers are urged to watch closely
and keep posted on ceiling prices
for all merchandise and report
any overcharges. This is the only
way to prevent an upward trend
in living costs and to halt infla
tion.
