TO equalize
gasoline rations
Equalizing of gasoline rationing
throughout the United States
east of the Rocky Mountains will
be recommended by the Petrole
um Administration for War with
in sixty days. This action, aim
ed to spread the burden of war
equally among all people, will
probably result in some increase
in gasoline rations in the East
and some decrease in the Middle
West and Southwest, accordng to
Petroleum Administrator Ickes.
It is not anticipated that there
will be enough gasoline for driv
ing which is not necessary.
CORN NEEDED FOR
WAR INDUSTBIES
Farmers who sell their com to
a country elevator buying for the
Commodity Credit Corporation
before August 10 are guaranteed
extra payments to cover any in
crease in com prices between the
date they sell and October 31.
Marvin Jones, stated.
HOSE GRADING
NOT REQUIRED
Women’s rayon hosiery does
not have to be labeled as Grade
A or Grade B, the CPA said re
cently, although ceiling prices
and gauge or needle count regu
lations are still in force. The
choice as to whether Grade A or
B mark will be placed on rayon
hose is now left to the dealer.
OVEN CANNING
NOT RECOMMENDED
Home canners have been warn
ed against the oven method of
canning food by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Not only is
oven canning slow and unsatis
factory, but it may lead to serious
accidents as a result of misunder
standing of canning techniques.
Disadvantages of oven canning
mentioned by the TJSDA are;
‘‘Juice bubbles out or steams
away; peaches and pears are like
ly to darken. For the vegetables
that need high heat to kill bacter
ia, oven canning is not safe. Even
though the oven goes to 250 de
grees, P., or higher, food inside
the glass jars stays at about the
boiling point.” And the boiling
point of water, 212 degrees, P.,
is not sufficient heat to kill dan
gerous bacteria in a reasonable
time in beans, peas, corn, and
other non-acid vegetables and

meat. For canning these, the De
partment recommends only a
steam pressure canner, and for
fruits and tomatoes the boiling
water bath.
WAR prisoners
IN IT. S.
Prisoners of war interned in
the U. S. total 65,058, the War
Department has announced. Of
these, 45,355 are Germans, 19,-
641 are Italians, and 62 are Jap
anese. The Japanese are intern
ed at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin,
and the others in 37 prisoner of
war camps situated in 20 states.
POSTPONE INDUCTION
OF STUDENTS
Induction of students 18 or 19
years old may be postponed until
the end of the academic year, the
Selective Service Bureau of the
War Manpower Commission has
announced, if their call to the
armed forces comes during the
last half of a school year. This
applies to students in high schools
and similar institutions. ’
DRY ONION PRICES
Maximum prices show an in
creased return for fanners over
last year have been established
for dry onions at the country
shipper level. Existing prices at
retail will not be raised — and
may even be somewhat lower —•
says OPA.
BURLAP BAGS
Farmers who grow potatoes, and
potato packers, can now buy as
many burlap bags as they did in
1941, according to a recent ruling
by the War Production Board.
Previously they could buy only
half that amount.
HOW TO HARD-SURFACE
MACHINE PARTS
How to make new and worn
machinery parts last longer by a
method known as hard-surfacing
is described in an illustrated man
ual issued by the Office of De
fense Transportation. FMll di-
rections^ are given to welders for
repairing tractor, automobile, and
tuck and trail parts. Copies of
the manual may be obtained fee
from the central office in Wash
ington or from field offices of the
ODT.
VEHICLE
REGISTRATION DOWN
Although the registration of pri
vate and commercial motor ve
hicles in 1942 was 5 1-2 per cent
less than in the peak year 1941,
it exceeded the registration of
1940 by more than half a million.
Public Roads Administration of
Federal Works Agency reported
after completing its annual com
pilation of motor vehicle registra
tion statistics.

Raleigh, July 23.—Liquor busi
ness in western dry counties
struck an all-time low for May
with only 15,895.80 gallons deliv
ered to that territory which only
a few months ago was receiving
more than 70,000 gallons a
month.
Rationing is credited with the
reform which has reduced the
business in that area nearly 80
per cent. Newspaper publicity
has been suggested as one of the
factors in dimunition, but the
press probably gets undeserved
praise. While North Wilkesboro,
Troy, Erlanger, Cycle and Pur-
lear, once great terminals for
the Dorsey company in Mary
land, have almost disappeared as
bootlegging centers, no amount of
advertising has been able to put
Hudson in Caldwell completely
down and out.
'Old deliveries were made in big
quantities on good trucks. In
North Wilkesboro’s heyday, it
would receive as many as 24
truckloads a month and the av
erage cargo was about 750 gal
lons. In the May 1943 shipments
by truck, only one dealer appear
ed to have the tires and the cars
which could carry these loads.
This Hudson dealer received more
than one-third of the entire May
output from Maryland.
The first consignment for May
3 to Hudson was 890 gallons; the
second was May 7 for 855, the
third for 756.80 for May 10, the
fourth for 886.20 for May 14, the
fifth for 900 May 17, the sixth for
900 May 21, the seventh for 780
May 25.
North Wilkesboro got ship
ments of 300, 300, 326.40 and 380
gallons, barely one-tenth of its
oldtime supply. Cycle in Yadkin
got 582.00 gallons and is therefore
highest per capita consumer, for
Hudson’s 848 people have barely
more than seven gallons each.
Cycle’s supply is at least 25 gal
lons to the person. High Point,
Morganton and Shelby had sub
stantial deliveries.
Great difficulty attends any ef
fort to explain these shipments
into dry territory. President
Roosevelt and his fellow repealers
pledged the country to a policy
if protection over dry areas.
There was to be no interstate
3ommerce In liquor. Freight, ex
press, and mail shipments would
be prohibited. The executive is
attacked for violations. There is
no violation of those federal laws.
The crime consists in the delivery
and sale of liquor in dry terri
tory, But the deliveries are
trucks generally owned by the
men engaged in the business.
The rubber shortage is making
that delivery increasingly diffi
cult.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many
friends for the kindness shown us
during the illness and death of
our husband and father, T. A.
Stoker, especially the pallbearers
and flower girls.
Itc MRS. HENRY DAVIS.
