12 Cases on Dockel
At Tuesday Session
Of Recorder's Court
Mistrial Ordered in One
Case When Jury Fails
To Agree
The recorder's court had a little
busier day Tuesday than it has been
having for about a month, 12 cases
appearing on the docket, some of
which were continued. However.
Judge Gaylord and the other court
attaches figured that the session
more than paid its expenses in fines
and costs levied and collected as a
result of the day's work. A jury was
called for in one case, but it resulted
in a mistrial, and disposition was
postponed until a future date. Sidney
A. Ward again served as solicitor in
the absence of W. Blount Rodman,
who is in the Army.
Following are the proceedings:
A continuance was granted Clinton
Wilkins, charged with being drunk
and disorderly and using profane
language.
Henry Wilkins, charged with the
illegal sale of liquor, demanded a
jury trial, and the jury disagreed.
The judge ordered a mistrial and
the action continued.
George Myers was found not guilty
of assault on a female.
1 L. King, charged with issuance
of a worthless check, had his case
continued until July 7th.
A continuance until next Tuesday
was granted in the case against An
nie Hopkins, charged with operating
* car with improper brakes.
General L. Puckett entered a plea

RATIONING
'Continued from "age One'
mitted. B cards go to those in the
"limited occupational” group while
C cards may be issued to persons in
essential occupations.” While ap
plication blanks for supplemental al
lotments will be distributed at regis
tration sites, such blanks must be
filled in by the applicant and sub
mitted to the rationing board later.
The B cards will probably contain
16 coupons and will be issued for a
minimum period of three months. But
one card can be issued to any person
in any three-month period. Tire
books may be dated to cover a much
longer period, equivalent to "tailor
ing,” or tearing out coupons in ex
cess of actual needs for a specified
time. B cards will be issued only if
the car is proven necessary to work
of the applicant, and then only if
certain specified requirements are
met. such as sharing rides or proving
that other means of transportation
are inadequate. In the tentative
plan maximum travel permitted in
this class is approximately 570 miles
per month, including both A and B
allotments.
C cards will be issued only if ne
cessity is proven by persons engaged
in certain "essential occupations,"
such as doctors, nurses, ministers,
some governmental employees, etc.,
and their use is limited strictly to
travel necessary in their work. There
are two classes of C cards, and more
than one may be issued to a single
person, providing for an unlimited
amount of driving if proven abso
lutely necessary.
Trucks and Public Cars
In the "service group," including
trucks, busses, taxis, cars owned or
leased by any government agency,
ambulances, hearses, and the like,
two classes of S cards may be issued,
but only by the rationing board. Own
ers of these types of vehicles will not
register on July 9, 10. and 11, but
will apply to the board for their al
lotments, and mileage and gallonage
records are required to be kept by
them.
In addition to the ration books
above outlined, there are two other
types for gasoline required for non
highway use, including boats, sta
tionary' engines, tractors, and gaso
line used for cleaning and like pur
poses. The E books have coupons
for 1-gallon units, and R books have
coupons for 5-gallon units. Boats
used for commercial purposes may
secure such allotments for necessary
use as the ration board deems essen
tial. Gas for pleasure boats with in
board motors will be provided ac
cording to a mathematical formula,
based on horsepower.
Outboard motor owners will receive
the following specified allotments,
w’hich must last from July 22 un
til December 31, 1942: under 2
horse-power, 12 gallons: 2 to 5 horse
power, 25 gallons: 5 to 7 horsepower,
40 gallons; 7 to 16 horsepower. 60
gallons; and over 16 horsepower, 100
gallons.
There are a great many other pro
visions in the tentative program, the
entire outline covering some 75 type
written pages; and further rulings
and information will be presented as
it becomes necessary—which it most
certainly will.

CUCUMBERS
(Continued from Page One)
about 400 acres under contract for
delivery at the Plymouth plant and
another 100 acres under contract in
the Columbia section.
The crop is said to be only fair,
and rain is badly needed at this
time for the producers to realize
maximum returns. The cucumbers
are being mac’ ine graded here, with
contract prices as follows prevailing:
$2.60 per 100 pounds for No. Is;
$1.40 for 2As; 0 cents for 2Bs; and
70 cents for 3s. A majority of de
liveries so far has graded 2Bs, Mr.
Dinkins said, and most of the grow
ers appeared to be satisfied with their
returns.
Farmers are having considerable
difficulty in securing competent la
bor, and this is being reflected in the
lower grades predominating, accord
ing to the local manager. Unskilled
pickers do not get the select cucum
bers. and as a consequence they are
left on the vines until they become
too large to make the better grades.
If more attention was paid to pick
ing, Mr. Dinkins said, much of the
deliveries could be graded as No. Is.
The season is expected to last un
til abou| the 20th of July.

Tire local rationing board was no
tified this week that sugar stamps
would be good for double the usual
quantity of sugar, beginning next
week, but the time limit for stamps
is also doubled which means the ef
fect is the same. Stamp No. 5 in
each sugar rationing book will be
good for 2 pounds of sugar in the
period from June 28 to July 25.
Stamp No. 6 wall not be good until
July 26. but will call for 2 pounds
of sugar, which must last until Au
gust 22. In other words, each sugar
stamp will continue to be good for
one-half pound of sugar per week,
as it has in the past.
It is also announced by the ration
ing authorities here that all insti
tutional and industrial users of su
gar must register again between
June 20 and July 25. in order to be
eligible to apply for their sugar
quotas for the months of July and
August. This class of users includes
hotels, boarding houses, owmers of

purchase of sugar by those in this
group are now available and negotia

It takes lead sprayed from machine guns

from-within. Combatting international
pests is not cheap—no war is. Your dollars
are vitally needed to help Uncle Sam do a
thorough job.
If American farmers buy their propor

can finance 30,000 fighter planes this year.
Think what a crop-dusting job an air fleet
like that could do!
Allis-Chalmers believes:
That WAR BONDS are today’s best
and safest farm investment.
That American farmers, by buying
WAR BONDS every market day, can make
total victory the climax to total war.
The quickest and surest way to achieve
it is for farmers themselves to take the lead
ership. That is the aim of the "Win-the

To Our Customers:
War Production Board Order No, M-104 dated June 1 restricts
the nse of bottle caps to approximately 70 per cent of usage dur
ing the corresponding months in 1941. For several months we
have only been allowed to use 70 per cent of the sugar we used
during the same months of 1941. Effective July 1, the Office
of Defense Transportation has ordered all truck operators to re
duce their mileage 25 per cent under 1941 mileage. All of these
restrictions are war measures designed to conserve vital mater
ials needed in the war effort. We ask the full cooperation of all
of our customers so that we may in turn do our share to help the
war effort.
In our particular business these restrictions mean that we will
not be able to service our customers as often as heretofore and
we will not be able to sell our customers all they will need and
want. But ... all we can make is yours to enjoy at the same old
price. i
Each of our routes is receiving 70 per cent as many cases as they
were last year this time. Each route salesman is dividing this
amount among all of his customers in proportion to their past pur
chases. This means that every customer will receive a fair share.
Should you find the cooler bare . . . try, try again.
Cordially yours,
