NEW RULES ON SELECTIVE
SERVICE
Chief effect of the changes in
selective service classifications is
the elimination of dependency de
ferment except for: (1) Those
who maintain bona fide homes with
children, (2)Those whose induc
tion would cause extreme hardship
to a wife, child or parent, and,
(3) Those with dependents who are
necessary to and regularly engag
ed in agriculture.
Men formerly classified in 3-A
and 3-B who had been deferred
bcause of dependents will be re
considered. Class 3-B is eliminat
ed entirely. A child born after Sep
tember 14, 1<M2. is not recognized
as a "dependent" in classifying a
registrant in Class 3-A. The new
classification, 3-D, will contain all
men whose induction, in the opin
ion of their Vocal boards, would
create extreme hardship or priva
tion for a dependent wife, child,
or parent.
FARMERS WHO SELL TO
RETAILERS
A farmer who sells butter, lard,
or any other rationed food to a
retailer must collect ration points
lor the sale, just as lie has done
in selling to consumers since Mar
ch 29, according to OPA. All farm
sales must be made at current
point values and stamps collected
must be turned in to local ration
boards with a report made on
OPA Form R-1609. This form will
lye available to all local boards
during the last week in April. The
first report is due during the first
fifteen days of May and will cover
sales made between March 29 and
the end of April.
REVISED TIRE REGULATIONS
Tire rationing reflations h?ve
been tightened to prevent boot
legging and violations of tire in
spection requirements. Changes
ordered by OPA are : 1 ? Tir* in
spection reoord must be kept in
?he vehicle while it is in opera
tion. 2? TVe inspectors will report
serial irregularities to the local
rationing board. 3 ? If an applicant
does not have a tire inspection re
cord showing all inspection require
ments completed, the local board
may grant his application if an
inspection was made 60 days be
fore the application was filed. 4 ?
Dealers need not hold tires turned
in for 30 days as now required if,
before that time elaspses, the
?tires at* examined by an OPA rep
resentative and tlheir disposal au
thorized.

Bruah Burner Fined
$10.00 And Coats
Franklin, N. C.
May 4, 1943.
On May 3, 1?3, Wilbur Pickle
simrr burned three brush piles
inside of his plowed field in the
Whiteside Cove section. A strong
wind arose and scattered the fire
into the adjacent woodlot. The
fire burned up several acres of
j>ri\iate land and some U. S. F<?r- '
est Service land. It also burned
up several panels of rail fence.
When Henry Baty aruf his fire
crew arrdived the local men ha<1
the fire under control.
Mr. Picklesimer was taken before
J. P. Tom Dillard of Cashiers,
where he pleaded guilty to section
4311. He was fined $10.00 and the
costs, the minimum fine, since this
was his first offence. The point
to remember is that .even though
one has a brush burning permit
and permits his fire to get away
accidentally, he is still liable to
a minimum fine af $10.00 and a
maximum of $50.00 or a thirty
day jail sentence, under section
4311, N. C. Statutes. /

FUEL OIL FOR CANNING
Housewives are assured of
enough range oil or kerosene for
their home canning. OPA has au
thorized the granting of fuel oil
rations for operation of oil-burn
ing cook stoves used for home
canning purposes. Local rationing
boards lhave been instructed to
issue necessary ration coupons if
tHe consumer asks for ten gallons
or less. If more than ten gallons
is needed the ration will be de
termined according to the number
of hours the stove will brc used.
'ON THE FARM" WIRING
Farmers can now instaJl farm
stead wiring for operation of
equipment at the same time utili
ty service connections are being
made. A farmer eligible for elec
tric service under Order U-l-C,
and who has been certified by his
U. S. Department of Agriculture
County War Board, can purchase
up to 75 pounds of wire, plus nec
essary accessories, from any sup
plier, and is granted a preference
rating of AA-3 to obtain it
JEFFERS URGES REDUCED
SPEED
In a letter to Governor Brough
ton recently, rubber director Wil
liam M. Jeffers stressed the im
portance of reduced speed in con
nection with the unrationed tire
recapping program, pointing out
that reclaimed rubber in now be
ing used exclusively for this pur
pose. This material is more a(rt
to fail and cause accidents if dri
ven at higher speeds than 35 miles
per hour. The Governor says the
State Highway Patrol has been
ordered to intensify their campaign
against speeders on state roads.
RELIEF FOR BATTERY
SHORTAGE
Some relief is anticipated in the
current farm radio battery short
age, the consumers durable goods
division of WPB "has announced.
I-atlc of batteries has been acute
in those farm areas where radio
reception depends solely on battery
sets. In some sections of these
areas, reports have indicated that
as many as one-third of the farm
radios have been inoperative due
to a lack of batteries.

Where Will Money
Come From?
People Mk: "Where wffl the
money come from?" to roach
the thirteen-bllllon dollar ob
jective of the Second War
Loan. The answer la simple.
The people HAVE the income.
When we produce monition*
or peacetime roods, or any
thing else, we likewise produce
income. For every dollar of
production, there l( ? dollar of
income.
The problem of war finance
boils down to thl?? if Individu
als and businesses receive more
Income after taxea than there
are things produced for them
to bay, then e* cess funds ariae.
The rovernmeat deficit la
matltied by the combined sur
plus of everybody else. This
surplus should be pat Into Gov
ernment securities to wipe oat
that deficit.

Quota Of Feed Wheat
With a capacity of 1J600 bushels,
two storage bins have Men built
in Franklin on the corner bi Main
and Harrison Ave., foif govern
ment ftfd wheat. Farmers who
desire to purchase wheat should
put in their applications immediat
ely, advises Sam Mendenhall, farm
agent.
In an effort to ease the current
shortage of livestock and poultry
feed, AAA committees in -40 North
Carolina counties have obtained
a total of 334 bins from the com
modity Credit Corporation for
storage and handling of. fe<lcrally
owned feed wheat.
Operation of these storage bips
by Macon county AAA' committee*
fills a ne.ed of farmers who do uo(
have facilities for liaiidlin^ a .car
load or other large amounts of
feed wheat ; it makes it possible
for feeders to obtain wli#*t in
small quantities and on short no
tice. . (
A total of 150 carloads of wheat
has been ordered for North Caro
lina after release by Congress of
100,000,000 bushels of wheat for
feed. The wheat is available in
carload lots at $1.0H per bushel.
Handling charges will av*n|iV'e
about 5c per bushel.

15 percent higher than a year ago
and the production pier bird ts 3
percent . higher.

It's Fun Week at the Macon
Theatre this week. Laugh-provok
iog.nemes such as Bob Hope, Dot
ty Lamour, Jack Benny, and Ro
chester will appear on ihe bill
boards.
"They (jot Me Covered" will
flash on the screen Sunday and
Monday. The title refers to the
Nazi spies that- cover Bob Hope
in war-jammed Washington.
Don't expect to see the Bob
Hope autobiography of that name ;
the title js all that the picture
iK.es. It's a hilarious burlesque of
a hews hound terrorized not only
by |>otitiaal spies but by six beau
tiful Washington Secretaries who
help decorate the plot.
Can you imagine Jack Bjcimy as
"The Meanest Man in the World?"
That's how Thursday and Friday's
picture bills him. He plays with

Rochester! But that's not all. It's
a dpuble- feature Thursday and Fri

picture, "We Are The Marines,"
take an average Marine through

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
A ..neutral, visiting Berlin, was
curious about the food situation.
He turned to a native, who was
aating as his guide and asked :
"Is it true that Germans are
eating ?horsemeat ?"
"Ah," reminisced the Nazi,
"those were the good old days!"
