I'Free Cigarettes for Soldiers" is being sponsored in Raeford by the Kiwanis Club. Through an arrange ment with the manufacturer of one of the leading brands of cigarettes it will be possible to send the boys who are actually fighting and to those who are in hospitals abroad, a popu lar brand of cigarettes bearing the label "Good Luck from Kiwanis Club and Citizens of Raeford. North Carolina.'' Money is provided by gifts from local people, and the cigarettes will be purchased at the rate of 5c a pack of twenty. The government will handle the transportation to any for eign point selected by local people, and distribution will be by the Red Cross. In other communities cam paigns to send cigarettes have gone over very successfully, and people living in these communities have re ceived many very interesting "thank you" letters from the soldiers in hos pitals and on the fighting fronts where they received the free cigar ettes. Boxes in which local people may drop their money have been approx priately marked and left in all busi ness places of the town. A. .dime buys two packs. The suggestion has been made that cigarettes sent from this community should go to members of the Second Armored Division who were encamp ed near Raeford for three months last year. These men have been in the fighting in North Africa, and many are now in hospitals. It is believed they would appreciate hearing in such a way from Raeford people. Rubber Remains Scarce- Other Ration Notes. Mrs. Shaw of the State Price Con trol office will be in the Local Board office on Monday, May IT, about eleven o'clock to help price panel members or any one else needing help or advice. Mrs. Shaw will vis it the local office periodically. Wartime tires made of reclaimed rubber won't stand high sneed. Un scrupulous people can nullify ' the efforts our Government is making to provide necessary transportation for all. Rubber Administrator Jrffcrs says we'll scrape the bottom of the bar rrl between October 1943 and March 1944. Here are critical facts: Con structive action has raised last year's simply of 3.000.000 tires to 12,000, 000 for this year but last year only 3,000,000 cars were eligible for tires : and recaps. This year 27,000,000 are eligible. No synthetic tires are in sight for civilian use until 1944. The War Foods Administration makes an important point. We will have enough food but there will not be as much of some foods as we would like or could pay for. This is the point that makes food ration ing logical. Petroleum Pipe Lines and Barges are being provided as rapidly as pos sible. Most of these will be needed to transport gasoline and fuel oil for the armed forces, war plants and homes. The best bet seems to be that civilians should plan to get along on the present automobile gas oline for some time to come.

Frank Tripp Allied Newspaper Council, Wal dorf Astoria Hotel: May I ask you to experess to News paper Publishers our thanks and ap preciatyon for the truly remarkable contribution they are making to the Second War Loan. We feel quite certain that never before has any oause received such complete and effective support from the Newspa pers of the Country, and we are grateful for it. H. Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury O Managing Editors, North Carolina Newspapers News-Journal. Dear Sirs: The splendid standing of North Carolina in the Second War Loan Drive is itself the best evidence of the wonderfully cooperative job ac complished by our newspapers and other news agencies. If anything, I believe newspaper backing of the campaign exceeded that given yoOr wholly newspaper-sponsored and en tirely successful Scrap Drive last year. It has been my privilege to thank a number of you personally for your splendid assistance in the campaign; Let me here express to all of you the appreciation of the War Finarai Committee for your part in this . portant phase of the war. Congratulations on a job well doM an assignment which when it con again is assured of success with yell continued enthusiasm and suppoij Sincerely yours, John Paul Lucas, Jr., N. C. Director of Information i Second War Loan Dn Mrs. Paul Dickson, News-JourrliJ Raeford, North Carolina. .Dear Mrs. Dickson: As you know, the United St4 Treasury's Second War Loan ca paign in April was a complete si cess. Final figures are not yet ava ble, but it Is now evident that Fifth Federal Reserve District's qu ta of 350 million for sales to inves tors other than commercial banks has already been exceeded by fifty per cent. These excellent results were due in large measure to the energetic support of the press. I wish, there fore, to convey to you my most sin cere thanks for the splendid cooper ation that you and your organization gave throughout the campaign. Your generous assistance was most helpful not only in selling an unpre cedented amount of Government se curities but also in securing that wide distribution which is so essen tial to the economic stability of the country. While the people of the en tire district responded beyond our expectations in this Second Drive, and the number of sales was larger than in December, it is quite appar ent that it will be necessary for us to reach an even larger number of indl viduals during the next campaign. Sincerely yours, Hugh Leach, Chairman, United States Treasury War Finance Committee, Fifth Federal Reserve District. O United States Treasury Deputy In Town. H. L. Mcacham, deputy adminis trator of the War Savings Staff of the United States Treasury was in town Tuesday. He came especially to discuss Hoke County's War Bond purchase with the county chairman, Lawrence McNeill. Mr. Meacham praised Hoke County, the chairmen of the Bond committee and the 2nd War Loan Drive and said that Hoke "has done wonderful." The govern ment will borrow over seventy bil lion dollars ($70,000,000,000) this year and it is interested in getting people to do more systematic bond buying at regular intervals, by perl odic purchases. In this way the gov ernment will have something to base their estimates on. People in the lower Income brackets will have to buy and sacrifice to buy if inflation is kept down. "Bond buying," says Meacham, "will keep taxes down. The government is going to GET the money for those boys and if peo pie don't buy bonds it will be raised by taxes. Your tax money win be gone but you have an Investment in your bonds," he says. s O A colored cook said to her mis tress recently, These Army women sho do like to wear slats." r I I' (
