Refused Gasoline For
I Necessary Farm Work
1o Editor The Johnstonian-Sun:
. Please give space in your paper for
It few lines about the gasoline situa
tion in Johnston County.
Two weeks ago I went to the Ra
tioning Board for some more gasoline,
U my stamps were gone. I was hav
ing to haul cotton pickers back and
forth to my farm and it was taking
Inore gasoline iflian usual. I did not
get any gasoline on that trip, but was
told to sign a paper so the Board
could pass on it I went back on Wed
nesday, September 14, to see if I
could get any gas, as by this time I
had used all that I had except one
Stamp and about one and a half gal
lons that was in my tank. One of the
girls in the office told me that I was
not eligible for any gas and that I
could not get any in less than ten
days. I told the girl that I had hauled
load of cotton pickers to my farm
that morning and it was necessary
that I get some gas. She told me that
ahe was sorry, but I could not get
any gas. I told her it looked to me
that I would be forced to buy some
atamps to house my crop. The lady
then told me that I was not patriotic
and if all the people were like me we
Would lose this war. I told that skirt
that I did not have but two boys and
that one of them was in Australia
and the other was in North Africa,
and that my two girls were doing war
Work and that I had no one to help
tne do a thing, and that I thought I
had been doing my bit as I had pur
chased more than a thousand dollars
worth of War Bonds, and I doubt if
Borne of them who are talking so
lunch have bought any bonds at all.
I left the Rationing Board's office
and went out to see if I could pur
chase some stamps. I went to two
places, and the second place I went
to, after telling my troubles, I was
asked how many stamps I wanted. I
told him and then I got them, which
cost me 40 cents per stamp. Buying
stamps and gas too, is hard for a
poor fanner to do, with no help and
a three-horse farm to look after and
labor scarce.
I have never bought a gasoline
stamp before, and if I had invested
that $3.20 I paid for those stamps in
war stamps I would feel much better
about it. I want that lady in the
Rationing Board office who talked so
kind to me to know that as bravely
as my boys are fighting for , this
country. I thought I had been doing
my part as a patriotic citizen.
Gentlemen, if I cannot get what
little gasoline I need to house my
crop from the Rationing Board I
guess I will have to see if I can find
a few more stamps.
Yours truly,

"MAY!"
A week ago she went away to teach
school my daughter ' her first
year.
To teach children not just for
the mere purpose of earning a liveli
hood. She had a meal ticket at home.
We reminded her of that her Dad
and I. We wanted so much, you see,
for her to -go away with the idea of
service written in her heart ren
dering aid to young people in her
care, upholding the standards of
womanhood before them and the
community we trust she will assist.
The lessons of beauty she will
learn patience, tolerance, liberali
ty, anxiety for a child's success, un
derstanding, and generosity!
Hay- she have the courage to
stand for the right, may she have
the willingness to cooperate with the
leader and the co-workers, may she
appreciate the community in which
she lives, may she have the vision to
realize that conscientious duty will
bring results, and far down the vista
of years may she hear the echo of a
childish voice, "You are one of the
best teachers I ever had."
