Medium Trucks To
Take Over Work of
Heavy Duty Units
Chevrolet Gives Dealers
Instructions for Expand
vert so-called “medium” trucks to
ing Capacities
--
Practical exhaustion of the supply
of heavy-duty trucks, upon which
hinge the major hauling operations
in the country, focuses attention upon
the necessity for truck dealers to con
which must be done if the nation's
take over the big-haul operations
transportation system is to handle its
end of the war job W. E. Pish, man
ager of Chevrolet's truck department
said today.
Foreseeing the present critical situ
ation. Chevrolet has made available
to dealers full istructions for expand
ing the capacities of medium trucks
to pinch-hit for the no longer avail
able heavy-duty units, Pish said.
"Such conversion and expansion is
no new development in the truck
field," Pish pointed out. "Responsi
ble manufacturers have produced
conversion equipment for many years.
The present war emergency high
lights the necessity for producing
trucks of expanded capacity. Our
prime effort has been to serve as
liason between Chevrolet dealers and
these establishd manufacturers of
converting and specializing equip
ment.”
Specialized mechanical informa
tion treating exclusively with truck
conversion has been presented to
Chevrolet dealers, who still have ade
quate supplies of either new or used
medium trucks, all of which can be
converted into units capable of handl
ing heavy-duty loads.
"More than 60 per cent of all
trucks require some form of special
equipment,” Fish pointed out, ‘‘for
the truck has become a highly spe
cialized transport unit. Chevrolet
dealers have made a thorough study
of the special equipment field and are
conversant with the many individual
ized operations a converted truck can
handle.
i nousanas oi uuctt operators can
not purchase new equipment under
the rulings established by the Office
of Defense Transportation. And
even those operators who are eligi
ble are up against a dire shortage of
the heavier equipment. The only
answer open to the automotive in
dustry and the businessmen it must
serve, is conversion of such equip
ment as is still available, which is
in full accord with the stated aims
of the ODT and the War Production
Board, as expressed by R. L. Vani
man, deputy chief of the W. P. B.
automotive branch.”
Citing an example of a medium
truck conversion job. Pish pointed to
a highway tanker, a mammoth unit
whose original capacity was 14,000
lbs. gross weight. With the addition
of a tandem drive rear and special
transmission, and tandem semi-trail
er, the unit now handles 56,000 lbs.
gross.
' Expanding the capacity of trucks
now classified as ‘medium’ units is a
solution to this critical problem,"
Fish said. "Pull information cover
ing the job. which can be done eco
nomically, has been forwarded to
Chevrolet dealers.
"In addition, Chevrolet recently
called to Detroit 16 zone truck man
agers from as many vital war pro
duction areas in the country. These
Sanders, but convinced that he is a
ne’er-do-well. In order to evade his
attentions she retains Terry, a hand
some young song writer, to squire
her around the resort and keep Tony
at a distance. Taylor appears in the
role with alacrity.
Naturally, this arrangement de
velops complications, all of them
laughable. It also brings on a pitch
ed battle between Taylor and San
ders, equally humorous. Eventually,
the debonair song writer wins the
girl himself, but only after a series
of adventures which kept the au
dience laughing steadily.
"Her Cardboard Lover” is replete
with spectacular sets, elaborate cos
tuming and lilting melody. It is ex
cellent comedy relief for people who
would get away temporarily from the
realities of a troubled world,

“Maisie Gets Her Man' Is
Title of Picture Here
Next Sunday
The adventures of Maisie continue
fast and furious in "Maisie Gets Her
Man." latest in the series of which
Ann Sothern is the star, and which
will be here Sunday at the Plymouth
Theatre.
Sharing starring honors with Miss
Sothern is Red Skelton, radio and
screen comedian, who appears as an
aspiring vaudeville comic. The
teaming of Ann Sothern and Red
Skelton is a "natural" and the
first-night audience left no doubt
that there would be further demand
for other vehicles for this pair.
Knife-Thrower’s Aide
Maisie appears as a jobless show
girl in search of a job after she quits
a knife-thrower's act when that gen
tleman turns up for work drunk.
She wanders into a building known
to its regulars as the "Larceny
Building”, and Maisie’s life is just a
series of adventures aftter that.
Maisie and Red form a vaudeville
team, get a booking but they fail
because of Red's incurable stage
fright. Thereafter they get mixed up
with a racket in the '‘Larceny Build
ing.” How they clear themselves
comprises the rest of the story.
The story, a swift compounding of
elements of adventure and comedy,
is ably aided by a strong supporting
cast which includes such able veter
ans as Donald Meek, Allen Jenkins,
Leo Gorcey, Fritz Feld and Rags Rag
land. Direction by Roy Del Ruth,
responsible for topnotch musicals, is
fast-nared and ahle.

Land Bank Commissioner loans
will continue to be available to farm
ers of Washington county under
terms of legislation signed by Presi
dent Roosevelt, W. G. Stancill, Sec
retary-^Treasurer of the Coastal
National Farm Loan Association, an
nounced this week.
“Originally authorized in 1933 as
an emergency measure, Mr Stancill
said, “Commissioner loans have
filled a real need in farm financing.
They have enabled thousands of
farmers to consolidate indebtedness
at lower rates of interest and begin
to make progress in getting out of
debt. They have helped many ten
ants become farm owners. And of
men were given full data on this
truck conversion job and are now
out in the field directing dealers in
the operation.
"Ineligibility of many operators
who must have trucks to remain in
business; shortages of materials, and
the shortage of heavy-duty models
point this situation up as one of the
more dangerous bottlenecks in our
essential transportation needs as an
aid to our war effort,’’ Fish added.
Chevrolet dealers, forwamed, are
meeting this new responsibility in a
commendable manner.’’

Because the Army is providing

has taken defensive measures
against mosquitos and other in

widths. In addition, several hun
dred thousand bars and more
than half million headnets at a
total cost of more than $14,000,

North Carolina orders are part of
the total procurement that was
divided among factories in ten
states.

made it possible for thousands of
farmers to keep farms they otherwise
would have lost if such loans had not
been available.
'Commissioner loans are made by
the Federal Farm Mortgage Cor

farm loan associations exactly as Fe

In Washington county there are ap

outstanding for a total face amount

Rayon hosiery can be expected to
?ive good wearing results. The ex
traordinary long wear of nylon hos
iery cannot yet be expected, but when
a comparison is made with sheer silk
hosiery, the consumer will probably
be pleasantly surprised.
Reasonable care in handling and
washing rayon hose is.of course, im
portant. Treat them as you did your
fine silk hosiery but have several
pairs and wear on alternate days to
allow sufficient time for thorough
drying. Remember that rayon stock
ings are weaker when wet and their
full strength is not regained until
completely dry. If you roll or knead
them in a turkish towel 'for a few
minutes only) it will make them dry
more quickly and evenly. When you
take them from the towel, shape them
gently and place double over a rod or
line.
Cabbage is versatile and is very -
good when freshly green and not too
solid. That’s when it is delicious,

salt and a little butter
Butter, cream, bacon, cheese, bread,
onions, garlic, celery, parsley, canned
tomatoes, lemons, bacon fat, and oth
er meat drippings all of which are
foods rather than condiments, can
be useful in making meals platable^
and in solving that old left-over prob
lem.
An attractive table isn't necessarily
an expensive one The important
thing is to have the table cover clean,
the silverware shinning, the glass
ware clear and sparkling. All these
details have a marked effect upon our
appetite as well as our health.
A centerpiece of flowers or green
leaves, however simpl, adds a touch
of pleasantness.
Meals, above all, should be pleas
ant. Many cases of indigestion start
with a heated table conversation.
