ried considerable weight with the
state office of Defense Transporta
tion. This committee handed a
large portion of the applications for
Certificates of War Necessity and
the results were satisfactory, other
than one or two cases. Farmers who
have not received a sufficient allow
ance of gasoline have been advised
by the State Office of Defense Trans
portation to get their T books from
the local rationing Board for Decem
ber and the first quarter of 1943 and
then immediately file an appeal with
their local transportation committee.
This can be done at the County Of
■fice. Work done in connection with
this and all the files are at the Coun
ty Office in Plymouth. The mem
bers of the Transportation Commit
tee are: W. D. Phelps, Chairman,
John H. Allen, member: C. E. Ayers,
member; E. A. Davenport, member;
and Roy C. Chesson, member.
Each farmer who has a supply of
seed from an adapted high oil con
tent variety of yellow and green soy
beans is urged to retain a supply ade
quate for seed for his 1943 crop.
Farmers who expect to plant soy
beans for oil in 1943 and do not have
a supply of suitable seed should ob
tain a supply this fall from their
neighbors who have adapted varieties
of high oil content yellow and green
soybeans. It is not probable that
there will be a soybean seed program
in 1943 similar to the one carried out
in 1942. It is, therefore, the duty of
producers to provide a seed supply
for 1943 planting.
There is a surplus of wheat in the
United States. It is being made
available through the Commodity
Credit Corporation at a price which
makes it practical and economical as
a cattle and poultry feed. Wheat
has about the same nutritive value
as corn and as a rule should be fed
corn about V2 and Y2 and when fed
to livestock should be ground. Wheat
is a particularly good feed for
breeding animals being high in pro
tein and certain vitamins. Most
livestock do better when fed at least
a portion of wheat in their grain
mixture. We have been trying to
combine orders into making up a
cooperative carload of about 1800
bushels. This wheat could be bought
at about $1.02 per bushel delivered
at Plymouth. Anyone interested in
buying some of this wheat should
send their orders to the County Of
fice.

Pitting in with the news from
Washington giving the ‘‘green light”
on tires made from reclaimed rub
ber, Kelly Economy Auto Supply has
just received a stock of such tires
with which to service the needs of
Washington County in that respect,
C. O. “Shorty” Kelly announced to
day.
Mr. Kelly praised the recent ef
forts of patriotic Americans in this
community who were so active in col
lecting scrap rubber. He said that
this effort and similar efforts thru
out the country were what had help
ed to make this new all-reclaimed tire
possible.
“While the fact that these 'war
quality’ tires have been made avail
able stands as a real tribute to Amer
ican resourcefulness and recognition
of the vital need to keep all of Amer
ica’s cars rolling,” Mr. Kelly said,
“we must remind ourselves that this
does not in any way mean that the
[rubber crisis is any less severe than
before.
“As a matter of fact, it reduces the
nation’s total amount of rubber on
hand and so patriotic drivers, rather
than relaxing their vigilance, will be

more careful than ever to conserve
rubber by driving only when neces
sary, keeping below 35 miles an hour,
keeping tires properly inflated, hav
ing them inspected regularly, and
sharing their cars with others.”
The new B. F. Goodrich tires are
built in the same molds as pre-war
tires made from crude rubber and
are very much like them in appear
ance.
This new tire is called the V-35,
to symbolize the part these tires will
play in our country’s all-out war ef
fort—and to emphasize the necessity
of obeying the national speed law
of 35 miles per hour.
Mr. Kelly said they will require
more care than pre-war tires, with
particular attention being given to
keep them properly inflated and drive
them at speeds that do not exceed
35 miles per hour.
Mr. Kelly pointed out that the B.
F. Goodrich Company, “consistent
with the position which led it to in
troduce the Ameripol synthetic rub
ber tire in June. 1940, to focus at
tention upon the role that synthetic
rubber might some day have to as
sume,” has continued its develop
ment work on tires made with syn
thetic rubber, as well as reclaim. He
said the company had made and test
ed tires made entirely reclaimed rub
ber in April, 1939, ■ ome 18 months
before Pearl Harbor.
The services of Kelly's Economy
Auto Supply are at the disposal of
any motorist, Mr. Kelly said, for all
phases of tire inspection required un
der the wartime OPA regulations, and
for information concerning eligi
bility requirements.

Warns Public Not to
Buy Japanese Goods
By S. V. LEWIS, M. D
District Health Officer
Warning: For your own safety, do
not purchase Japanese merchandise.
This is not the first of such re
quests to be made by your health
department. Advice has already been
given not to buy shaving brushes and
tooth brushes made in Japan. The
Japanese have a cute little trick of
seeing that tetanus germs are placed
in those brushes that will cause lock
jaw, which, as you know, is for the
most part fatal. Another clever trick
they practiced was placing cholera
germs in bags of rice and dropping
them from planes over China, where
food was short, causing numerous
epidemics of cholera.
The yellow-skinned rats are not
above doing the most repulsive things
on earth to win this war
We still remain human, but we
must remember that we are dealing
with an enemy that wiU do anything,
not only to win this war, but would
kill our civil population as well, by
any dirty means they would be able
to cook up through the Hirohito re
gime. now ruling Japan.
Refuse to buy Japanese merchan
dise of any kind, and by so doing you
will not subject yourself to any dirty
inhuman tricks they may try or have
tried to sell our people for the pur
pose of spreading death, sickness, or
any other manner of trouble through
our nation.
Contrary to the belief of some, I
do not believe they are an intelligent
race of people. It is true they are
hard and efficient fighters, but
throughout several generations they
have been taught to fight and die
for their country and think it is, un
der all conditions, an honor to die
in behalf of their country, regardless
of personal safety, principle of con
flict, or whatever it may be. It is
possible to train a pig to do certain
stunts quite well if the training per
iod is as long as the period the Japs
have been trained to hate and fight
America. Remember, do not buy
Japanese merchandise.
