Tire Situation Still Acute
Demarii {or passenger car
tire^ has increased so rapidly
since the lifting of gasoline ra
tioning that it will be many
months before motorists get all
the new tires they need, OPA
District Director L. W. Driscoll
announced in Charlotte.
He said that unfilled applica
tions for passenger car tires are
at an all-time high, while in
ventories are at an all-time low
the country over.
It is expected that the back
log of approved but unfilled ap
plications may total one million
for the country by the end of
September.
"These are all applications
that have been approved, but
local boards can't issue certifi
cates for their purchase because
passenger tire quotas have been
exhausted," he said.
This explains why local boards
are forced to turn down thous
ands of tire applications.
Cheese Point Value At Zero
The War Price and Rationing
Board reminded housewives yes
terday that all cheese point val
ues have been reduced to zero.
"This probably heralds the re
moval of cheeses from the ra
tioning list," he said, while re
minding that technically, they
remained under rationing re
strictions although point values
had been set at zero.
Control Of Building Costs
Some details on OPA's most
far-reaching peace-time price
control program have been re
leased by OPA regional officials
in Atlanta with the declaration
"building material costs must
and will be stabilized."
OPA asserted, "One look at
the record of what happened
after the last war is enough to
show why this program is so
vital: 68,000 mortgage foreclos
ures on homes in 1926; 97,000
in 1927; 116,000 iin 1928; 134,
000 In 1929".
Commenting on these figures
a few days ago, OPA Adminis
trator Cfiester Bowles said,
"That's what happens when a
building boom goes bust".

State College Hints
To Farm Homemakers
(By Ruth Current)
Home economists say that
such freshly harvested Irish
potatoes as those now on the
market offer more vitamin C
than those coming on the mar
kets from winter storage. Serve
potatoes any way you wish but
cook them with care because
this saves vitamin C as well as
B-vitamlns and minerals which
this vegetable offers, Do not
cook large and small ones to
gether. The small ones will be
overcooked.
When you do find sheets for
sale, don't be stampeded by the
mere si^ht of them and snatch
ther?"tip, regardless. Look for a
lab^f giving size, and remember
that "torn size" means the size
before hemming. Too short
sheets like too short blankets
are uncomfortable and neces
sarily subject to more strain
than those which are long
enough to tuck in firmly and,
for the top sheet, turn back far
enough to protect the blankets
or other bedclothes.
JOBS FOR MANY SEEN AS

In Its administration of funds,
the National War Fund has al
ways had great elasticity. As
the peace of w.ar shifted and
as areas of need changed, the
program was at once readjust
ed. Quarterly budgetary re
quests from member agencies
were constantly submitted to
Lend-Lease, UNRRA and a doz
en other governmental agencies,
to see if they could carry the
burden, thus relieving the Na
tional War Fund from tse ne
cessity of doing so. The con
tributor could be assured that
his gift was used from day to
day and month to month to
meet that nped which the of
ficers of the National War
Fund considered most worthy
in the light of the whole situ
ation created by war conditions
as they then existed,
From the vory inception of
the National War Fund, North
Carolina has had an active part
in the determination of policies
and administration thriugh
such men as Robert M. Hanes,
one of the eight Vice-Presi
dents, and Major L. P. McLen
don, member of the Board of
Directors,
These jnen worked closely
with national leader^, Mr. Win
thorp W. Alcirich, President of
the Chase National Bank and
President of the National War
Fund, together with Mr, Gerard
Swope, former Chairman of the
Board of the General Electric
Company, and Budget Commit
tee Chairman of the National
War Fund, assuring wisdom in
administration and prompt ac
tion in the effective operation
of the Fund.
This is a report on the
changes in policies of the Na
tional War Fund and our local
Community War Funds, brought
about by the considered judg
ment of these leaders in the
light of victory in Europe and
the Far East.
Information And History
Of American Railroads
The system of Standard Time
in use throughout the world
was sponsored and put into ef
fect in this country at the
stroke of 12 o'clock noon on
November 18, 1883 by the Gen
. eral Time Convention of Rail
way Managers, which later be
came the American Railway
Association and then the Asso
ciation of American Railroads.
Prior to that date railroads op
erated their trains on more
: than sixty different standards,
based largely on the time used
by cities through which the
trains were operated or the
time used by cities where the
railroads had headquarters.
The Southern Railway System
trained 6,000 soldier- railroaders
during World War II for serv
ice overseas "in a theatre of
operations." This Included four
railway operating battalions and
the personnel of a replacement
school.
Railway purchases of fuel,
material and supplies used in
connection with their operations
totaled $1,610,529,000 in 1944, the
greatest amount for any one
year since 1923.
The longest curve on the
Southern Railway System skirts
Lake Pontchartrain approaching
New Orleans, La. This curve,
varying from four to six min
utes in degree, is almost ex
actly nine miles in length. The
longest railroad curve in the
United States is 9.45 miles in
length and is located on the
Illinois Central Railroad.
Railroads paid 19.6 cents in
taxes for each dollar of revenue
received in 1944 compared with
9.5 cents in 1938.
The highest point on the
Southern Railway System is at
Balsam, N. C., 3,351 feet above
sea level.
