successful bombing missions against

Included in the list of North Caro
linians awarded, was Fist Lt. James

Just-What Would
Our Boys Think ? ?
Is the county ashamed of its ros
ter of men in the service? That is
a question that is being 'phoned into
this office daily. WHY? BECAUSE
the roster that was painted as an in
centive for every person in the coun
ty to collect scrap is lying (at this
writing) face down in the mud and
on the scrap heap of the junk pile.
Would it not be a tribute to these
boys to place this roster on the Court
House lawn where all may see how
gloriously Hoke County men are do,
ing their dpty?

Important Changes
In Meat Shopping
This week brings two important
changes in her meat shopping habits
to Hoke county housewives, with the
advent of point rationing and the
effective date of a new schedule of
dollars and cents ceiling prices on
pork.
The rationing system with RED
STAMPS will be easy for the aver
age food shopper, armed with a
month of experience with Ration
Book Two. And the new price
shedule on pork, the first of several
which show to the exact cent how
much a food merchant legally may
charge for a purchase, is designed
to make the housewife's job of feed
ing her family easier. It becomes
effective April 1.
Housewives of the county will al
so find a new table of point values
for processed foods in their corner
grocery store this week, as they
make their first purchases under
revised point shopping. The new
table appears in this issue of The
News-Journal.
On the revised table, all dried and
dehydrated fruits have been remov
ed temporarily from rationing and
point values of all fruits and vege
table juices and dehydrated soups
have been lowered sharply.
The new table also shows increas
es in the point values of some half
dozen items of general use, including
apple sauce, peaches, pineapple, can
ned fresh lima beans and tomato
catsup.
Other than these changes, the ta
ble remains approximately the same
as of March.
Farmers who apply for a supple
mentary gasoline ration must make
their application tWrough the town
ship AAA transportation commit
tees who will forward their appli
cation to the County War Board. The
War Board will in turn pass the
application on to the War Price and
Ration Board who will take final ac
tion and notify the applicant by mail.
This process will probably take ten
days.
The Spiritual Life Group of the
Methodist Church will meet Monday
April 5 at 4:00 at the church.

Dear Ma Dickkson:
'Tis been many a month since on
that cold rainy day back in good old
Carolina when you sewed up a hole
in my O. D. gloves and at the same
time gave me a subscription to the
News-Journal. I should tho' say gave

everybody down to the last man
in our unit, read it all of it. And
believe me it's a comfort, for from
North Africa to the States is a long
hard way, and we're all homesick.
We all feel in this unit that Rae

soldier has a ' Ma" there who has
done for him some good deed that
will last in his memory.
