RECOGNITION
AT LAST
War has one virtue. It reawak
ens ia people’s sense of values.
For example, in peacetime every
one takes the local newspaper
pretty much for granted. Its val
ue to the community and to the
ideals of freedom which the edi
tor symbolizes with every opinion
he expresses, is almost wholly
lost to sight.

In ordinary times the editor is
painfully reminded of -the arbi
trary value placed on his ser
vices. Advertising is hard to ob
tain. When it is obtained it is
strictly on a basis of getting so
many customers for so-and-so’s
gadget. Any advertising manager
who bought space in newspapers
with the partial objective of en
couraging a free press and free
enterprise would, a few years
ago, have been looked upon as
light-headed by his colleagues.
But today circumstances have
changed. The nation is at war. It
is at war to restore freedom to
other nations and to perpetuate
it in this counry. Our people have
had abundant opportunity to con
template the horror of nations
where freedom is dead.
Our business men, all of us,
have observed that in those na
tions disappearance of personal
liberty was accompanied by the
disappearance of the virulent free
thinking and free speaking edi
tor. After the disappearance of
the editor came the iron hand of
dictatorship. It is not surprising
that we begin to look upon the
editor and the free press he rep
resents as something to be pre
served at all costs in this coun
try.
Industry realizes at last that
without our free press there could
be no free enterprise. Industry
realizes now that if it wants to
do business at the same old
stand after tihe war, it will have
to first help preserve a system
of government that w-ill let pri
vate enterprise live. War has
reawakened industry to the value
of the editor. Its representatives
have discovered that the Ameri
can .press renders a service far
beyond selling a few yards of
Blank Company’s cheesecloth.
They are finding out that this
latter service—the keeping alive
of freedom—cannot be measured
in dollars and cents, or bought by
the inch.—Industrial News Re

CHANCE FOR LABOR
STATESMANSHIP
If the people suffer a coal
shortage this winter, the blame
will have to be laid squarely in
the lap of government and labor,
because the wage, labor, hour and
price question is wholly in their
hands. If workmen could only see
it, they are undermining the very
fieedom they enjoy by forcing
strictor government • control of
their actions in order to maintain
coal production—and production
will be maintained. Only the most
foolhardy labor leaders will sanc
tion labor trouble in the coal
mines r.ow.

N. C. WEEKLY
WAR JOURNAL
‘RALEIGH. — Eastern North
Carolina’s wartime highlights dur
ing the week included strong en
forcement action by OPA in Eliz
abeth City where wine dealers
paid $324.44 for price violations,
in Wilmington where U. S. Dis
trict Court sentenced a refrigera
tor dealer to six month in jail and
a fine of $250 for selling refrig
erators above ceiling price, and
Kinston where a laundry settled a
treble-damage action for increas
ed services costs for $1,150.63.
At the same time price panels
of local War Price and Rationing
Boards checked 548 retail meat
stores in 52 Eastern North Caro
lina counties with price violations
reaching a higher figure.
Other highlights included:
MEAT GRADING: Federal
meat grading has begun on a
of the slate with the counties of
Johnson, Wake, Durham, and Or
ange on the list last week. The
Food Distribution Administration
says that all meat sold by retail
ers must 'be graded by a Federal
Grader and OPA is issuing or
ders that all meat sold must be
graded and sold at prices not
above the levels for grade-for
grade of beef, lamb, and veal. H.
B. Adams, 303 State Agriculture
Building, Raleigh, is the official
grader for the middle section of
Eastern North Carolina. Grading
in the Albemarle area will be
done by FDA graders out of Nor
folk.
RENT CONTROL: The Raleigh
OPA this week added Alamance
county to the rent control pro
gram—meaning that all rents in
that county, which includes Bur
lington, Graham, >Haw River, and
Mebane, must be Tolled back to
the March 1, 1943 level. Theodore

at registiution places set up in
the Alamance schools. There ate
now 20 Eastern North ravelinr
counties under effc’tive rent con
trol.
NO G \S CUl: Recurring ru
mors of further gasoline rati m
cuts were called unfounded this
week by the Raleigh OPA. There
is no indication that gasoline al
lotment quotas will be reduced
this year and OPA is r.ot contem
plating any reduction in coupon
values.
SHOE STAMPS: Don’t worry
about shoe stamp No. 18 expiring
without advance notice. W. Hance
Hofler, Raleigh OFA rationing of
ficer said this week that at least
30 days notice will be given the
public before the shoe stamp ex
pires.
RAW POPCORN—In the near
future the -OPA will establish ceil
ing prices for taw popcorn on ba
sic maximum price of $3.68 per
hundred pounds. This price-fixing
order will cover any variety of
pop corn on the cob at the graw
er’s farm.
PLENTY TOBACCO—The De
partment of Agriculture informed
the Raleigh OPA this week that
the cigarette situation is gener
ally satisfactory, indicating that
supplies of cigarettes will contin
ue to be sufficient in volume and
quality to meet the demands of
U. S. civilians.
PITCHER PU-VPS: Farmers
and others living in rural areas of
Eastern North Carolina need not
worry about obtaining currently
scarce “pitcher pumps”, a state
ment from the Raleigh OPA dis
trict office said this week. OPA
said that WFB has authorized the
manufacture of 250,000 hand
pumps to meet farm requirements.
The new “pitcher pumps will cost
about 50 cents more than the cur
rent $2.50 average price.
BOOTLEGGER TAKES JOB: A
bootlegger, never known to work,
was called into a USES office un
der Governor Broughton’s “work
or fight” program last week. The
program was explained to him
and he exploded. “Why’, he said,
“this darn country is going to the
dogs. I am 35. years old and have
never hit a lick of work before in
my life and you 'people call me
and tell me you have to go to
work. Yeah, this country is realty
shot.” The USE'S manager added
a memo to the report which was
sent to Raleigh, in these words:
“He took the job.”
TIRE’: Eastern North Carolina
tire quotas for November were
slashed by OPA this week indicat
ing a serious shortage of rubber.
A total of 3,417 truck tires will be
set up for rationing in November

Overweight Motor Oil
Proved Non-Essential
See how safe and economical a surprisingly Light
grade can be with your engine Winter OIL-PLATED
A motorist who kept a record for a month averaged only
2.7 miles between stops. Maybe you average twice tha^.
Yet the "coupon shortage” means short runs—lots of stop*
ping and starting. That’s extra bad for your oil. The first
hardships of Winter will find it unfit. This year, of all
years, the height of economy is to change your oil promptly.
The lightest suitable oil you can use is best for your
engine—your battery—your gasoline economy...best for
lengthening your car’s future! You needn’t risk any over
weight grade... not when you have your engine oil-plated
for Winter by changing to economical Conoco N*A motor oiL
The "magnetic attraction” that seems set up by a certain
synthetic in Conoco N*A oil—patented—enables it to ,
.oil-plate. All good plating forms a staunch protective '
surface, and that gives you the idea of oil-platino. Now
think of any oil-plated part in your engine facing another
oil-plated part...double oil-flatino in between—plus
Conoco oil’s regular-type liquid film that’s extra
strong! You can’t get more protection than that, while with
