J. Monroe Johnson, director of the ODT, is busily engaged in stress ing the seriousness of the present and future travel situation. Rail and highway systems both civil and military will continue to be taxed to the utmost in a superhuman effort to accomplish the job at hand. Essential civilian travel must, of course, be carried on; else we have a breakdown in the economic struc ture o four nation. Re-deployment of troops by the hundreds of thousands lie ahead as we make the shift to the Pacific theatre of war. Many of these men will touch briefly on home shores for the first time in long months, and some of them will have a chance to make a short visit to ttieir families and friends. None of us wish to see even one fighter de nrived of that hard-earned right. Nnr is it thinkable that troop move. ments shall be hindered. And the same thing applies to an uninterrupt ed flow of materials for tne services. The strength of America lies in the time-tested fact that we can forget factional differences and pull to gether in the emergency for the com mon good. History amply records the results of that. Now we have another chance to make our further contribu tion to the success of the national war effort. Before we travel let's be sure that the trip is really necessary using no gas; wearing out no tires; occupying no train or bus space with out ample reason. It will shorten the war and that is what all good Ameri cans want. Stay home America! Sun Staff Improving Following Dlness Editor M. L. Standi, of the John stonian, continues ill at his residence here following an unusually severe attack of asthma complicated by pneumonia during last week. Although making satisfactory pro gress towards recovery Mr. Stancil is in a much-weakened condition and is confined to home limits. Quite able to receive visitors at home, it is ex pected that the editor will not be able to visit his office before the com ing week. Herbert H. "Hub" Lowry, advertis ing manager of the paper, returned to his quarters at the Bndk Hotel Friday evening after having been a patient at the Johnston county hospi tal in Smithfield for a ten-day period. Suffering from blood-pres-Bure irregularities Mr. Lowry is now showing definite improvement and hopes to be able to greet friends Sweet potatoes from North Caro lina will play an important part in the diets of Pacific GI's this year. Approxmately 2,400,000 bushels of sweet potatoes will be dehydrated in 1945 to produce 20 million pounds for overseas shipment, according to the War Department. One of the most popular items on menus for the military forces, the potatoes are served about every tentr day in baked, candied or glazed form, according to the Quartermaster Department. First tests on dehydrated sweet potatoes were made early in 1942, scientists of the American Can Com pany being asked to work with the Quartermaster Department on var ious problems of packaging. The po tatoes are packed in five-gallon cans specially coated for overseas shipment. Indicative of the space saving ac complished by dehydration, officials of the Quartermaster Department say that seven and a half pounds of dehydrated sweet potatoes will serve 100 men, whereas about one bushel of the fresh potatoes would be required for the same number. Lester R. Woodward Gets Bronze Star Medal along the main drag within a few days. Meanwhile, "Hub" is receiving visitors at his quarters. With the 12th Armored Division, Seventh Army, Germany. Techni cian Fourth Grade Lester R. Wood ward, Co. D, 43rd Tank Battalion Selma, North Carolina, has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement with the 12th Armored Division near Hettstadt, Germany, on April 1, 1945. T-4 Woodard was one of a group of 15 men who volunteered to rescue a group of friendly troops who were cut off in an enemy counterattack on Hettstadt With four tanks., the group penetrated four miles into enemy territory so swiftly that the Germans were completely surprised. Approxi' mately a company of the enemy was destroyed and 10 of the 12 captured men returned to friendly lines. The 12th Armored Division earned a reputation for itself as a powerful fi eh tine unit during the battles of France and Germany when it spear headed the swift advances of Lieut. Gen. Patch's Seventh Army and Gen. Patton's Third Army as the famed "mystery division." Commanded by Ma. Gen. Roderick R. Allen, of Palestine, Texas, the 12th also became famous for its spectacu lar seizure of the Danube River bridge at Dillingen, Germany, its closing of the Colmar pocket with the French, and its super-swift drives through the Bavarian Alps. Activated at Camp Campbell, Ky. in September, 1942, the division also trained at Camp Barkeley, Texas, be fore being ordered overseas in the fall of 1944. Two Men Arrested In Johnston Theft CADETS REPORT ON C.A.P. CAMP Reports received at squadron head quarters indicate . that the Selma group are having a busy though in teresting time of it while in camp. Demonstrations in glider flight and pick-up technique and chemical war fare have been witnessed. A 3 1-2 mile over-night bivouac was the ord er Friday with each man carrying a thirty pound pack of equipment, plus C and K rations. . A parade and review was . staged Saturday afternoon with Col. Curry, post commander, as the reviewing of ficer. The Colonel also addressed the entire force following the review. Report covering the Selma cadets was made by 1st Sgt. Charles T. Mc-Vickers. Veterinarian Warns Against Mastitis Speedy work by Deputy Sheriff Lester Hales of Kenly Thursday night resulted in the arrest of two men, Morns Wells. 40, and Lloyd Grice, 25, a wounded soldier home on furlough both of Wilsn County, with in approximately 30 minutes after they allegedly broke into a filling station and took a cash register, con taining, the operator said, $50. The cash register was valued at $100. The men were brought to Johnston County jail and are being detained in default of $1,000 bonds. Grice later confessed to Hales and went with him to get the cash register, which had been thrown into Little River. Hales recovered around $21 of the cash. which Grice claims was all there was. Part of it was hidden in a shoe of one of the men. The theft was discovered by Sarah Rose, operator of the station who lives in the building, when she re turned home around midnight. She notified the officer, who arrested the men at another filling station in Ken ly as they were putting water in their car. EXTRAGAS Raleigh, June 18. -4- Addi tional gasoline will now be available for farmers' repre sentatives who market fresh fruit and vegetables, and for certain wholesale buyers OPA District Director Theodore S. Johnson said this week. Farm marketing agents, in cluding cooperatives, will be allowed gasoline for travel to farms of the farmers they represent in order to direct harvesting, grading, packing and shipping of fresh fruits and vegetables, if such serv ices are necessary to market ing of the crops. Adequate gasoline rations will also be given to whole sale buyers, who must travel to farms to grade, inspect and classify farm products as es sential steps in buying them from farmers. These preferred mileage ra tions are limited only by es sential requirements, Mr. Johnson explained, and are being issued because of the importance of this skilled work in getting farm produce on to the market where it be comes a vital part of our na tion's food supply, Three Grocery Stores Violate Ceiling Prices In Johnston County, three (3) grocery stores and markets were found to be in violation of ceiling prices during the April Food Price Survey conducted by local volunteer citizens, Turner Vinson, Chairman of the War Price and Rationing Board, said today. Price violators will be called in for a conference by the Price Panel to discuss the violations, he said. During the survey, Price Panel As sistants checked up on 110 grocery stores and markets. Of the stores visited, 107 were found to be observing all their price ceilings and other provisions govern ing maximum food price regula tions. ' '. . "The high percentage of coopera tion in keeping food prices to the legal maximum in this county . re flects tlio ifoferminat.inn of this icom- munity to hold the price tine,'VMrd Vinson added. "It is another indica- tion that this community, along with communities throughout the United States, is doing its utmost to dis charge faithfully the responsibility for keeping prices down.
