In order to get a food book, which will be given out at a later date, it will be necessary for everyone to have a sugar ration book, according to George H. Maurice, chairman of the board. When ready to be issued, the food books will be distributed at the public schools, he said, and those applying must bring along their su gar books and a list of all canned food on hand. Relating to kerosene, it was an nounced that all coupons issued for kerosene for cooking or lighting are still good, even though the coupon sheet may say that they expired Jan uary 1. Those who have such coupons should continue to use them as long as they last, and ask for renewal only when the coupons have been used up. Mr. Maurice also reminded insti tutional users of sugar that they must register for sugar for January and February if they have not already done so. Mrs. Way will be at the Pinehurst school every Friday after noon to issue them, and J. C. Barron in Southern Pines will issue sugar ration to industrial users to those applying at his home after 4 p. m. any week day. Infantile Committee NamesNewDirectors O.

First Week of Year Gives Fire Fighters Fast Opening Pace Volunteers Answer Sev eral Calls First Day; Blaze Near Pinehurst If what you do on the first day or the first week of the New Year is a forerunner of coming events, it is going to be just too bad for Frank Kaylor and the men of the Fire Company. Before noon on New Year's day the light truck rolled out twice, once to the home of Mrs. J. B. Roundtree, on the Midland Road, where a chimney burned out, and again to Pennsyl vania avenue near Ridge street, where a grass fire in a vacant lot adjoining the residence of A. B. Yeomans needed attention. At 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon the grass in the lot adjoining Dr. Herr's office burst into flame threat ening the building, and that of Pope's restaurant. At 9:45 p. m. the company responded to a call from the Almet Jenks property on Young's Road where an overheated pipe in the garage started a blaze. Then, at 1:30 o'clock Monday af ternoon the Southern Pines and Pinehurst fire companies were call ed out to fight a brush fire which had originated on the right of way of the Norfolk-Southern railroad just above the Chalfonte, and jump ed the road and swept into the woods on the crest of the hill. La ter in the afternoon, swept by winds of increasing force, sparks fired the woods north and west of Aberdeen Lake, and the Southern Pines com pany was again called upon for as sistance at 3:40 o'clock. Stationed on the/ Aberdeen-Pine hurst highway they were instrumen tal in stopping the fire at the road and saving the Blue saw mill and lumber yards. They returned home at 6 o'clock. The Aberdeen company fought the blaze that raced through the woods toward the dwellings on the north and upper side of the lake.

Burglars Try but Can't Get Into Safe Even With Sign Telling Combination There was breaking and entering at two coal yards in Aberdeen last Sunday night, and at Farrell's Coal Yard the marauder picked up about five dollars by breaking open the cash register, while at Doub Supply Company, the would-be burglar fail ed to get into the safe, even though a sign on the combination told him how. The two coal yards have so fre quently been the victims of attempt ed robberies, that neither of them leave any money at the yard and both of them try to make it easy for any robber to find out that there isn't any cash. C. G. Farrell, for instance, almost always leaves his cash register un locked—and empty. First time in months, he said, that he's left any change in it. Also, first time in John Boyd Reported Dead; Wounded In Pacific Action Son of Capt. and Mrs. Jackson Boyd in Navy Since Last April 9 The death of John Boyd, sea man second class, from wounds received November 13 while in action in Pacific, was reported Thursday to his mother, Mrs. Jackson H.

S. Marines. The parents received notice of their son's wounds during Christmas week, but had believed that they were not critical. Only available information was in a wire from the Navy Department which said that Seaman Boyd had died of his wounds and that he was buried where he had been receiving treatment. He had been serving on a destroyer in the Pacific war zone.

RED CROSS KNITTERS PRODUCE 163 PIECES I The Southern Pines Red Cross knitters have made, packed and de livered 163' garments for the Army and Navy since November 1, but there is need for many more volun teer knitters to help out with this work, Mrs. M. G. Nichols, knitting chairman, said this week. She said that there was plenty of Army and Navy yarn on hand for knitting sweaters, socks and similar articles, and that anyone wishing to learn how to make these garments may receive instruction any day from Mrs. Frank Kaylor, vice-chair man of knitting, at the local fire bouse. months that he's locked it. So the thief took the register outside and broke it open, without much dam -age, and got around $5.00 in change. H. W. Doub uses his safe mainly as fire protection for certain papers. A couple of years ago, he lost a $125 safe because it was locked too tight ly and the thieves had to blow it open. Since then, for protection of his safe, he's made it easy for any thieves, but the one or ones Sunday night failed to break it open. If they'd taken a look at the sign hang ing oh the combination knob, they wouldn't have gone to so much trou ble. This sign reads: NOT LOCKED Contains No Money DIAL 74—LOOK! Close Door. Thank*.
