Page 8 THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER (One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, DECEMBER A Week Of The War WASHINGTON Operations on all fronts against the Axis are pro greasing favorably. Secretary of War Stimson said. He summarized the situation as follows: (1) The Germans have failed in all of their main objectives for the year in Russia and will have to withdraw from wide areas unless they can stop the Russian counter offensive. (2) The allies are building up strong assault forces in Tunisia to oust the Axis, but the enemy there will "offer strong resistance." (3) American and Australian troops have cornered substantial numbers of Japanese troops be ntween Gona and Buna in New Guinea. (4) Although weather conditions make extensive activity difficult in the Aleutians, American fliers are doing everything possible to har ass the enemy. Navy Secretary Knox Said it is unlikely the Japanese can get rein, f orcements into Guadalcanal, Aus tralian troops, advancing on Buna, have smashed Japanese counter attacks, while allied boombers blast ed enemy gun nests and mortar em placements, General Mac Arthur's New Guinea headquarters reported November 28. Japanese naval forc es, however, despite heavy losses, have landed "strong, fresh rein forcements" on the Buna-Gona beachhead. Earlier allied airmen sank two and probably three troop laden destroyers and definitely sank one other destroyer and two small er vessels. Communiques during the week reported allied forces in North Af rca destroyed 100 axis planes and 21 medium tanks at the cost of nine allied planes destroyed and four damaged. The War Department estimated U. S. army and navy cas ualties from the initial landings in the North African operations. Army-killed, 350, wounded, 900, missing 350. Navy -killed. 10, wounded 150, missing 150. RATIONING President Roosevelt, in letters to Rubber Director Jeff ers and Price Time to Cook with Gas the Perfect Fuel Economical Clean Quick Essotane Metered Service City gaa convenience Instilled anvwher. Brading Gas Service Administrator Henderson, stated, "we must do everything within our power to see that the mileage ra tioning program starts December first because victory must not be delayed through failure to support our lighting forces." Expanded passenger car tire and tube quotas for December to meet needs in the first month of mileage rationing the plan under which virtually all passenger cars become eligible to apply for needed recapping services or replacement tires were an nounced by the Office of Price Ad ministration. The total of passen ger car tires and recapping services combined is 2,301,342 for December, against 1,285,189 for November. Rubber Director Jeff en stated that unless tires are conserved in the U- S. by nationwide gasoline rationing until synthetic rubber products gets into full swing in 1944, the United Nations rubber stockpile will be reduced to "Con siderably below the point of reas onable safety." In 1943, there will only be 30 million tires, including recaps, available for automobiles, compared with a normal demand of 48 million tires. "If all goes well," Mr. Jeffers said, "we should be able to allocate important quan tities of rubber for the manufacture of civilian tires in the early months of 1944. Thus, if there is no hitch in the program, we should be able in 1944 to replace in a large meas ure the automobile tires now in use on the 27 million passenger cars and the 5 million trucks ope rating in the United States." CHILDREN'S COLDS FOR direct RELIEF from miseries of colds coughing, phlegm, irrita tion, clogged upper air passages rub throat, chest, and hack with Vicks VapoRub.

THE ARMED FORCES War Secretary Stimson announc ed army furloughs will be granted between December 12 and January 12 to no more than 10 percent of the enlisted strength of any camp or station at any one time. Mr. Stimson said many young officers have been transferred from Wash ington to combat duty, and they will continue to be transferred until at least two-thirds of the officers on duty in Washington will be men more than 36. The Federal' Com munications Commission announc ed that after December 1 members of the armed forces and persons sending money to them will re ceive a 50 percent rate reduction on domestic telegraph money ord ers up to $25. Selective Service registrants will be required to carry classification cards as well as registration cards with them at all times, beginning January 1. Checking Invasion Barge Motors U. S.

HIS CHILDREN. Burley Guaranteed 90 Of Parity For This Season A bulletin iust received from the Crop Reporting Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture co-operating with the North Car olina Department of Agriculture indicates that the mountain crop of burley tobacco will average about twelve hundred pounds to the acre. The 1941 croo was 6,200 acres of burley tobacco, and this year aoout 6,800 acres. This means the total production will be in the neigh borhood of 8,160,000 pounds. Farmers will be interested in the indicated average price for this year's crop. This average will be at least $40 per hundred pounds, Therefore, every leaf of tobacco is valuable and every effort should be put forth to properly handle, grade, and deliver all tobacco to the warehouse in the best of possi ble condition. The Farmers Federation will again serve as agent for Commod ity Credit Corporation in Washing. ton which guarantees a parity price to all growers for their tobacco, The guaranteed price last year was 85 of parity, and this year the guarantee is 90 of parity. The Federation has already com pleted arrangements with the Col lumbia Bank for co-operatives and a sufficient fund, running into hun dreds of thousands of dollars, will be available to pay for all tobacco acquired by the Farmers Federa tion for Commodity Credit Cor poration and on behalf of growers in Western North Carolina. The plan of operation is very simple: You take your tobacco to the warehouse and have it weigh' ed and placed in baskets in the usual way. A warehouse ticket will be placed on your baskets, and then the Federal graders will grade your tobacco, placing certain sym bols and letters on the ticket. You will be given a parity price show ing the parity prices on all grades and you can readily pick out the grade as indicated on your basket When the big auction starts and you know your tobacco is guaran teed, let us say at 35c a pound, and it is bid up to only 30c, the markers or checkers for Commodity Credit will rxlnoaA n Viitr lotfaw "4"" on your basket ticket. You will then go to the office at the ware house and the warehouse operator will pay you at the 35c rate. The warehouseman in turn bills the Farmers Federation for your to bacco, and we pay the warehouse man. Then your tobacco thus ac quired, together with any other tobacco secured in the same way, is removed to a big reprocessing plant, and after it is dried and re- graded, it is placed in large hogs heads and retained for (Commodity Corporation until sold. If this tobacco is (finally sold for a price higher than the amount paid you by the Farmers Federa tion, you will receive your propor tionate share oi this overage. I position.

Although, due to favorable hand ling weather, over half of the crop will be ready for market at its open ing, there is no reason to rush to sell and cause to put tobacco on any lloor a week to ten days and have it drift in quality as a result of ex posure before sold. Tivo iDaily Sa!es Pre vent Such Exposure On The Greenville Market The war has caused much shifting of tobacco forces. However, Green ville being an ESTABLISHED MARKET, both small and large manufacturers, as heretofore, will be represented, assuring strong competition on all grades. In this connection, the following is copied from a recent issue of the Southern Tobacco Journal: Multiple Buying "To reduce buying expenses it is common practice for Companies to place buying orders . . . this is espe cially true on the smaller markets. diminished." Southern Tobacco Journal. "Thus a company, instead of incurring the expense of maintaining ITS OWN BUYER on a certain mar ketplaces a buying order with a LEAF DEALER who has a buyer at that market. "This buyer bids not only on behalf of his em ployer, but possibly half a dozen other companies. "Were it not for the multiple buying orders it is probable that many of the smaller markets would cease to operate, and the existing trend toward elimi nation of small markets would be more pronounced. "Viewed alone, multiple buying may become an abuse which is hurtful to the interests of the growers by reason of the fact that competition in buying is Due to war conditions multiple buying during the duration will increase on the smaller markets and the grower having more than an acre should bear that fact in mind, and, if not a too long haul, sell it on an ESTABLISHED Market. The Re-drying, Stemming and Storage Plants are located at Greenville. Help conserve gas and rubber by selling direct on the Greenville market. Tune in on WWNC 7:30 A.
