Schemes Used To
Get Rationed
Shoes From Stores
. The placing of inlants leather
shoes on the ration lists May 1 by
the OPA caused a number of
schemes to be developed by shoe
buyers to circumvent the regula
tions with one of the favorites be
ing the old return merchandise
racket which has been used be
fore when other commodities were
placed on the ration lists, accord
ing to OPA authorities.
The return merchandise racket
works like this. As soon as a cus
tomer hears that a certain com
modity is to be rationed he goes
lo the stores and buys up all of it
he can get. Then after the ration
date becomes effective, he takes
the merchandise back on some pre
text that it fails to meet his needs
and demands that he be given
ration stamps for it.
The Charlotte district OPA offi
cials yesterday were receiving com
plaints from throughout the dis
trict about the racket working in
regard to the infants shoes, accord
ing to C. D. Parker, shoe rationing
executive.
Persons who heard that the 0-4
shoes were to be rationed May 1
rushed to the shoe stores and
bought as many of the tiny shoes
as they could get. After May 1
they take the shoes back contend
ing that they do not lit and de
manding that they be allowed to
exchange the tiny shoes for adult
footwear or he given their money
back along with a new shoe ration
stamp. The ration stamp, of course,
is used to buy footwear elsewhere,
the officials said.
The OPA authorities were em
phatic in warning all retailers of
shoes to guard against the chislers
and I" avoid violation of the regu
lations lv giving out stamps lo
persons who are not cut tiled lo
them The slore records will show
piiclily whether Infants' loolwr.n
was houghl before or alter May I
The merchant becomes guilty ol
black-market operation aiid subject
to prosecution by OPA it he gics
stamps on false claims
Another racket being used since
infants' shoes were placed on I lie
ration lists is that of the post-dated
mail order Persons wishing to
acquire shoe stamps illegally simp
ly mail an order dated before May
1 lo a store. If they receive the
infants' shoes they then are in a.
position to returen them and claim
a shoe tsamp. No matter when an
order is mailed it must have been
concluded and the the buyer must
have received his baby shoes be
fore May 1 in order for the trans
uctio nto have been legal without
transfer of a ration stamp, Mr.
Parker explained. Under the most
liberal interpretation of the rules

Timely, Practical
H o u s c h o I d
Suggestions
by
Ruth Currant
of Slate College
Sliced oranges give more vita
min C than orange juice, and un
strained juice more than strained
juice. Strained orange juice con
tains only from a hay to three
fourths the amount of vitamin C
contained in the segments, so is
the most extravagant way to use
oranges.
Home economists say jam is the
easiest of strawberry spreads to
make, and comparatively economi
cal, since it can be made from the
sound but riper, less perfectly
shaped, and less uniformly sized
berries.
One secret in making good straw
berry jam is to use a wide, shallow
kettle, and to cook in small batches.
Speedy jam-making helps hold the
natural bright color and flavor of
the berries, and cuts down on loss
of their vitamin C.
Breaks that appear in rayon
clothes after laundering may be
the result of too strenuous twist
ing and wringing. Gentle squeez
ing is recommended because rayon
is weak when wet.
liuttons--broken or missing from
clothes and ridges worn in the
rubber rolls of the . washing ma
chine are double evidence of care
lessness in wringing. Kohl all but
tons, buckles, and zippers inside
cloth before running the garment
through (he wringer

Pvt. Vinson W. Dyer
Serving With 399th Inf.
Pvt. Vinson W. Dyer, of Wayncs
ville, It.F.D. No. 1, has recently
been assigned to the 399th Inf.
Regiment of the 100th Infantry Di
vision and is serving with the
Seventh Army front in Southern
Germany. With his new assign
ment he has become a member of
the famous "Century" Division.
The 100th entered combat in
last November and cracked the pro
posed German winter defensive
line in the Vosges Mountains after
only two weeks front line experi
ence. It then followed through to
open up the key Saales Pass lead
ing to the Alsatian Plain and
Strasburg.
Later, at the strongest point in
the entire Maginot line, the area
around the town of Bitche, the
Century Division pounded German
troops in famous Fort Schiesseck
for a full week and finally captured
the heavy fortifications only to be
forced to give them up again when
the German counterattack in Bel
gium caused a regrouping of Al
lied forces.
Three months later, after the
100th had earned a special com
mendation from Sixth Army Group
Commander Lt. Gen. Jacob L.
Devers, the major brunt of the
Nazi January counter offensive on
the Seventh Army front, the divi
sion again attacked Bitche and
its surrounding fortifications.
