SERVICEHERE
The gasoline filling stations of
Sylva, in line with the recent
rationing orders in the eastern
states, have agreed to open each
morning at 8 o'clock, and to
close each evening at 8. One
station only in town will be open
on Sundays, and the stations
will alternate the Sunday service.
The station that is to remain
open on Sunday will be
closed one day the previous
week.
This self-adopted regulation is
for the purpose of complying
with the Petroleum Co-ordlnator's
order that stations in this
area be open for gasoline sales
only 72 hours each week.
The coordinator has frozen
the price of gasoline at the price
it* was selling on March 13, and
has reduced the amount of
gasoline allotted to this area by
20 per cent. It is understood
that these regulations are for
thp niimnsp of comnensatine: for
, r
tankers lost on the seas.
TOMPKINS WILL NOT
BE CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR
A great many people have
been kind enough to suggest my
name , as a candidate for State
-Senator from this dlstrlfcff "trfiff
I appreciate this very greatly. I
have given the matter favorable
consideration, and had decided
to make the race. However, In
the past few days many of my
friends have come to me and
urged me not to do so, in the in-,
terest of harmony. Since the
minds of the people are rightly
more centered upon the war
and the preservation of our nation
than they are upon political
races, and in order that there
may be no more discord among
the people in this war year primary
and election, I have decided
to defer to the suggestion
of many friends of mine, and
to not be a candidate for State
Senator.
At the same time, I desire to
"nrocc mv Hppn annreciation
VUU 1UJ ?ri
of the many pledges of confidence
and support that have
been made to and about me. But,
I am more interested in keeping
harmony and solidarity among
| the people, in order that we may
present a united front to the
common enemy, than I am .in
any personal ambition that I
have entertained. . ;
I will, however, be a candidate
for Representative in the General
Assembly.

DVANCE IN JACKSON COUNTY
lomas Hyde
8 First To
me Sacrifice
Thomas Clay well Hyde is the
first man from this county to
Sive his life for his country in
the present great war for the
preservation of civiliza.ion, so
far as is known.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Hyde, of Wilmot, received a message
on Sunday evening that
Clay well is missing in action. He
was a pharmacist's mate serving
with the Pacific fleet.
Graduating from Sylva High
School in 1937, Claywell enlisted
in the Navy in 1937. He was married
to Miss Wilma Saunders
and his wife and a young son
survive him.
Surviving also are his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Hyde of Wilmot,
three brothers, Kenneth
Hyde, Maryville, Tenn., Ralph
Hyde, Hazelwood, and Eugene
Hyde, Wilmot, and two sisters.
Mrs. Roy Bryson of this county,
and Mrs. Pat Hemphill, of Copperhill,
Tenn.
Claywell had a large number
of friends in this part of Jacksort
County, especially in the
Sylva school district, which extends
from Whittier to Balsam,
for young men and young women
from this district were his
schoolmates at Sylva High, and
held him in high esteem.
The Journal suggests that a
memorial service for him be arranged
at Sylva High as soon as
possible, in order that proper
tribute may be paid to him by
the people of the county, and
that as many of his class in hish
school as is possible be present
and sit upon the rostrum. All
civic and patriotic organizations
in the county snouia arrange me
service and take part in it.
Journal Is Refused
Information About
Draftees For Army
The next contigent of inducted
men from Jackson County
will leave for the army on
April 9. However, The Journal
cannot publish the number of
men to be inducted at that time
nor the names of the men, for
(he reason that we Were refused
the information at the office of
the Local Selective Service
Board. After the men leave Sylva
we will publish their names.
There has been a great deal
of criticism of the >people of
this county because there has
been no more enthusiasm and
patriotism shown at the time the
men leave here for induction
camps. The Journal, believing
that this situation would be
somewhat remedied if the people
know about the time of the
leaving, the names of the men,
and the number to be inducted,
far enough ahead of time for
them to make their preparations,
as individuals and as ?
clubs and groups, for going
away parties, endeavored today
to secure that very information, .
but were refused it at th? office
of the Board.
The Board office was actling
! upon an order from General
Hershey.
All of this may be valuable;
but The Journal can see no
earthly reason why such "information,
which could be of no
possible value to the enemy,
1 should be witheld from the peo- \
pie. This is the people's war, and
they are entitled to all the Information
about it that they can
be given without assisting the
enemy.
