Information about priorities and
the location of offices through
which a person goes to purchase
surplus war material age given in
a booklet. "Surplus Property", re
cently published by the War As
sets Administration. A few copies
can be found at the local post ollice
The W. A. A. regional ollice in
Charlotte '.500 Law I'.uilding Char
lotte 2 directs the sale of goods in
North Carolina, and is the place
where priority certificates can be
obtained. The surplus articles,
however, are usually sold al the
sile where they have been stored,
in large quantities, in mixed lots
by spot sales, and at auction sales.
The procedure outlined for a per
son desiring goods is first to obtain
whatever priority he is entitled to
and request information as to the
location of the special class of pro
perty desired. Then the buyer sub
mits a written order in duplicate,
using customary trade specif ica
t ions.
If the property is available, the
customer will he notified, and then
can send check or money order
to pay for the goods, and submit
instructions for shipping the goods,
the usual procedure being to have
them sent by freight, the customer
paving f. o. b. shipping charges.
If the customer prefers to ex
amine the goods before buying
them, he is advised to watch for
advertisements of spot sales and
t auctions and attend them, bring
ing bis priority certificate with
him.
j Priorities are complicated, vary
ing with the type property being
sold The ordinary sequence lists
the V. S government agencies as
I having first priority, World War II
veterans second, small business
third, state and local governments
fourth, and non-profit institutions
'fifth. Veterans have some person
al items set aside for disposal to
; them, but are cautioned that there
are not enough for the demand.
They are advised to submit a list
of what they want to buy at the
time they request their priority
certificate, which will be written
so as to cover those Items specific
ally. "Veterans should not go from
sale to sale looking for what they
want." the booklet emphasizes.
Upon locating what a veteran re
quested, the WAA regional office
tells him where the property is,
how long it can be held for him,
and as nearly as possible its cost.
Small business obtains its priori
ty through the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation, this state having
a certification office at 317 S.
Tryon St., Charlotte 2. That agen
cy under certain conditions makes
purchases for the small business
buyer.
Non-profit institutions get their
certificates and place orders
through the WAA regional offices.
A great deal of bread is wasted
because more is bought than is
needed and the (li ied-oul loaves
or remnants of loaves are not
eaten after a fresh supply is pur
chased. Try lo delay buying your
bread until your supply on hand
is nearly c xh. u-H d.
Keeping bread fresh gives extra
assurance that il will all be eaten.
Wherever you store the loaf, well
wrapped in inoitsurc-proof paper,
it will keep belter if placed in a
well-ventilated washable box in the
refrigerator, which, by the way,
is an excellent storage place for
bread, as the cold temperature de
lays stalcnessand mold.
Heaping up too much sliced
bread on the dinner table is often
a sure way of consigning ti few
extra slices to a dry fate. The best
way to prevent this is lo slice the
bread al the table as it is needed.
Halving slices may even further
lessen the waste.
Of course, some breaiL is hound
to gel dry. When il docs, it has
by no means ended ils usefulness.
Here are some ways to take care
of thai dry bread and lo have it
used to the la I crumb.
Dry bread quakes crisp I nasi, and
besides plain toasl, don't overlook
such kinds as French, cinnamon

often serve in place of soft bread.
Use dry bread in substantial
desserts, such as bread and cus

Rail Official Says
Southern Freight
Rates Are Fair
The tremendous industrial
growth of the South in recent years
would have been impossible if rail-
j road freight rates in that section
had not been on a competitive basis
with those in oilier parts of the
country, states E. it. Oliver, of
Washington, D. C, vice president
in charge of traffic of the Soi Ihern
Railway System.
Appearing as a witness before
United Slates Supreme Court Spe
cial Master Lloyd K, Oarrisou in
the State of Georgia's suit against
Southern and Eastern railroads,
Mr. Oliver said that the fact that
the South has become so industri
ally important refutes Georgia's
charge that the State has been in
jured by alleged discriminatory
fricght rates.
."For the railroads to enter a con
spiracy against Georgia would nut
make sense," he maintained, "as
il would amount lo conspiracy
against their own best interests.
A railroad cannot prosper unless
the territory it serves also pros
pers." Pointing out that the South has
turned from an almost wholly agri
cultural section to one largely en
gaged in industry, Mr. Oliver lesli
lied that in the last 41) years, the
products of manufacture and mis
cellaneous articles hauled by tin
Southern Railway has increased
from 1.352,000 tons to 22.7tW.(mil
Ions a year, while agricultural pro
ducts moved by this railroad have
increased from 1 2tiH.()0(( tons lo
i.!lfl!UHH) tons a year.

As a Sacrament
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Bishop
Schuyler Garth of Madison, Wis.,
on July o'th urged elevation of
Methodist church marriage to the
place of a sacrament to make the
tie more solemn and binding.
Bishop Garth voiced his plea
during a conference of 19 church
bishops with war veterans from
4! states to discuss postwar religion
and church life.
He asserted that by exalting the
saeredness of marriage, the church
could contribute to family life.
Bishop Garth urged greater
stress on the importance of chastity
and religious dedications when new
homes are entered by families, He
also urged training of parents in a
"new sense of responsibility."

The "glamour girl" he's making pretty speeches to

Modern, efficient motive power is only one of the
ways the Southern has geared itself to give the South
continually better transportation service.
