SHOP EARLY AVOID THE RUSH V'OL. 36 SHOP EARLY AVOID THE RUSH (Published Every Thursday) CHERRYVILLE, N. C THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1942 NO. 49 CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS AT CARLTON, NU WAY, HOWELL O. D. T. Limits School Bus Transportation W. F- Starnes, Superintendent Receives Word Directly From Office Of Defense T ransportation. * Supt. W. F. Starnes has recent ly received from the office of De fense Transportation, Washing ton, D. C., General Order No 21, which, when put into effect, will * make radical changes in the rout ing and operation of school bus ses in the Cherryville district, as well as all other school systems throughout the county. The, or der calls for many changes in the operation of school busses in or der to conserve gas, rubber, and bus parts. All school busses al ready have been issued individual gas allotments based on actual mileage over a previous three months period. And since this period included the summer school sessions and the early fall when weather and roads were favorable, school men are now finding it dif ficult to operate the busses these winter months with bad roads on this, gas allotment. It now be comes necessary, the government says to make the following chang es in thi; operation of our school busses: (1) The elimination of un necessary mileage. The routes SHALL be arranged so that the maximum number of pupils can be transported with the minimum number of bus milesi Side trips |SHALL be eliminated, and bus routes limited to the main highways and state main tained roads wherever possible. (2) Reasonable walking dis tances. ') 11 anspormt ion shall be pro led only for those who wouli .ilk a distance of more than tw< m^l8wt5Kthe=*M*hatils or more thai mile and a half to a school bu; route. This seems that many shorl hauls which busses have been mal ing over poorly kept roads to picl up children will m.ve io be discoi tinued and pupils required tc walk a distance of as much as one and a half miles to the main roads, (3) Reduction in Number of Stops. ■School bus stops SHALL In spaced so there will be at least one-eighth of a mile and prefer ably one-fourth of a mile between stops except in the case of crip pled children. !So far there have been only a few slight changes made in the bus schedules in this district. Other changes, duobtless, will have to be made as soon as they have been worked out. Local school authorities Aare eager to give the be3t service possible and and accommodate all patrons as far as possible. We shall continue to try to do so. However this or der is made direct from the of fice of Defense Transportation, and we have no recourse. Signed: W. F. STARNES, j Supt, Cherryville Schools.

BADIN COMPANY WILL GET FLAG Army-Nary *E' Pennant to Be Presented to Carolina Aluminum Jan. 14 Albemarle, Dec. 4.—The Caro lina Aluminum company at Badin will officially receive its Army Navy “E’’ flag on Thursday, Jan. uary 14, according to a statement issued Thursday by S. A. Copp, general superintendent of the plant. The award was announced on November 7, following a period in which the company produced evetincreasing quantities of al uminum, so vital to the war ef fort. J Melville Broughton, Governor of North Carolina, will be master of ceremonies when the flag is presehted in an elaborate cere mony at Badin. At the same time, Mr. Copp announced the date for the pre sentation of the award, he also stated that the plant had broken its production record in Novem ber for the seventh successive month. Although October had 31 daysl as against 30 for Nov ember, production in the latter month was substantially larger. Mr. Copp said that the difference in the two months was sufficient to build 58 pursuit planes, or 21 small bombers. The November record gives the Badin plant one month on a star which may lie added to their “E” flag provided the record is kept up for the next five months. SPUR OF NECESSITY Upon short notice under the spur of absolute necessity and in the interest not only of the war program, but also of our national economy, the Victory Fund Com mittee comprised of a group of our bankers, security dealers, in dustrial and professional^ leaders, are now engaged upon "a job of heroic proportions. Theirs is the pressing task of selling within a few short weeks out share of nine billions of dollars in government obligations. Nine billions—or one billion— is beyond mental grasp of most of us. Suffice it to say, however, that for present purposes that stupendous figure represents the amount of money necessary to keep our government in business and in the war until February. Either we are behind our fight ing men, or we arc not. The outcome of a Victory Loan Cam paign will be clear index of how seriously we are behind these boys. The danger of inaction or delay in buying your share of these '.bonds can be compared on ly with the danger of such delay in Tunisia. The banks, insurance compan ies and larger corporations in the first few days have responded magnificently throughout the state. But they obviously cannot bear the burden of financing our war. In proportion as individuals with $600 or more subscribe these issues, we avert the growing of menace of disastrous inflation. It has been pointed out that the Victory Fund Campaign in no way supersedes the War Savings Campaigns which have so success fully been prosecuted hereabout. The Victory issues as distinguish ed from wtar savings stamps and bonds are simply a dfferent cate gory of issues, being designed to meet the needs of the larger pur chases of securities in varying sums, for varying periods of in vestment. WARNING - wr People must possess War Ra tion Book No. 1 ('Sugar and Coffee Book) to get Book No. 2 next year. Persons who have not registered for Book No. 1 must do so before December 15, 1942. Be ware of duplicate registrations. James Williams has accepted a position with the Dry Dock Ship yard in Baltimore, Md.

R. wasmngron, liec 4.—1’resl dent Roosevelt today ordered complete liquidation of the I Works Projects relief program. I The President, in a letter to I Major General Philip B. Flem I ming, Federal Works Adminis j trator, said the WPA rolls had | greatly decreased through the “tremendous increase in private employment, assisted by the training and re-employment ef forts of its own organization, to a point where a national work relief program is no longer ne cessary.” Mr. Roosevelt ordered the closing out of all project opera tions in many states by Febru ary 1, 1943, and in other states as soon thereafter as feasible. “By taking this action,” the President said in his letter which he read to ha press conference, “there will be no need to pro vide project funds for the Work Projects Administration in the budget for the next fiscal year.’* Mr. Roosevelt said certain groups of workers still on the re lief rolls may have to be given assistance by the states ar.d lo calities; others would be able ♦« find work on farms or in indus try at pre\ ailing rates of pay as private employment continues to increase “Some of the .present certi fied war projects,” he added, “may have to be taken over by other units of the Federal Works Agency or by otner departments of tre Fedeiu, government. State . : local projects should be closed out by c^pleting useful units of such projects or by' ar ranging for the sponsors to car ry on the work. “With tt.ese considerations in mind, 1 agree that you should direct the prompt liquidation of the a-.lairs of the Works Pro. jects Administration, thereby conser.hig a large amount ;f tha funds appropriated to this or ganization'” FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SERVICES 9:45 A.
