the estimated $4,500 sales record
established in 1946. Total intake
at the Plymouth ABC store for the
seven days immediately proceed

006.95.
Christmas Eve Sales at the

Plymouth cash register, the total
Creswell intake standing at
$868.30, he said. Total Creswell

unruffled calm with but very few
arrests being made by members
of their department during the
Yule tide season.
Reports from the State High
Patrol in Washington County
stated that only two accidents
Worthy of mention occurred in
this section during the holiday
season, and that otherwise the
county’s roads were fairly quiet
and peaceful.
Asked the cause, direct or oth
erwise, of this serene situation,
one law officer pointed out that
there is a bit less money floating
around the county this year than
usual, and; he pointed out. "Money
is the root of all evil."
Dealers Say Coal, Oil Still
Scarce; Advise Local
Consumers to Conserve
Supplies
-♦
According to reports from coal
and fuel oil dealers in Plymouth,
the fuel situation is still acute
although sufficient amounts of
both solid and liquid fuels have
been secured to keep the town
going for the time being at least.
Local coal dealers stated that
they had received and distributed
two carloads of coal in the past
week and are expecting another
carload next week. They added
that, enough coal had been secur
ed and delivered to cleaners,
laundries, and restaurants, not
only in Plymouth, but in the
lower end of the county, to keep
those establishments going even
if on an almost rationed basis.
Oil dealers pointed out that to
day marks , the beginning of a
new allotment period for them al
though they cannot, be certain
that new shipments will be on
hand until the week-end. Other
than the beginning of a new al
lotment period, it was stated, no
other appreciable change has been
noted in the fuel oil situation.
Oil consumers and coal consum
ers as well, are still advised, the
dealers said, to conserve fuels as
much as possible.

Total Contributions Now

Although only about 45 per
cent of persons in Washington
County receiving appeals for do
nations to the 1947 Tuberculosis
Seal Sale campaign have answer
ed. total contributions to the
drive in this county stand at
$755.GG, a {flood $55 more than the
county's alloted goal jf $700, Mrs.
Hallett W. Everett, county chair
man of the drive, has announced.
Mrs. Everett added that con
tributions are still coming in
although in decreased quantities,
but pointed out that the remain
ing 50 per cent of persons who
1 were sent the Christmas seals,
have not only neglected to remit
! the requested $2, but have also
failed to return the stamps.
At the beginning of the cam
Ipaign in the latter part of No
vember, 1,000 county residents
were sent letters containing 200
of the tuberculosis Christmas
seals and asked to return $2 or
the stamps to Mrs. Everett.
Mrs. Everett stated that the

of hard liquor was shoved across
the counter to whiskey store pa
trons in the lower end of the
county.
Managers Styons said further
that while the Christmas Eve
sales figure this year established
Ian all-time record for the Plym
outh store, it is extremely unlike
ly that such a mark will be
reached here again, since most
store patrons had merely put off
their buying until the last minute.
