PAGE TWOV THE JOHNSTONIAN - SUN, SELMA, N. G THURSDAY, NOV. 15, 1945. Jack Lowry Now Serving In 'Korea Private Albert W. (Jack) Lowry, . who has been in the South Pacific for more than a year, writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Lowry of Mount Airy, that he has been sent to China. "Jack" as he is known to his many ' friends, is with the 2nd Engineers Special Brigade. The following are a few excerpts' from a letter received by his parents: "I have been very busy for the past 10 or 12 days, having traveled more than 1,000 miles since I last wrote you.'. ' f ,: .' "I am now in Korea, which is part of the former Jap Empire. As you know, Korea is the country and penin- sula which extends from Manchuria in China to within 120 miles of the Jap home islands. It has been under Jap control for 50 years and is de veloped similar to the home islands. Ten per cent of the population is Jap anese, the remainder mostly Korean. They look like Japs, only larger. "I arrived here with the first group of U. S. A. troops to take over Korea. We were met in the harbor by a Jap ship filled with high ranking Jap of ficers, including the Jap commander of Korea, who surrendered to our i generals a couple of hours before we 'went ashore. "We were equipped with arms just the same as if we were on a combat mission. You can imagine what a re- i action took place when the Yanks walked into Jap army camps filled with armed Jap soldiers of all ranks, and started taking over. They are proud and sneaking little devils. They think they are quite the stuff. "The Koreans seemed willing to co operate with us, more so than I ex pected. At present we are living in a former Jap hotel and country club. We took it because it's in a seaport and the fourth largest city in Korea. We are going to help operate the port here." ' Pvt. Lowry, is the nephew of H.'H. Lowry, former advertising manager of The Johnstonian-Sun. Motorists Should Examine Used Tires Raleigh, Nov. 12. Farmers and other motorists are advised to exam ine closely any used tires they buy to i - . , , . ... r . , . "io sure iney are not iauing.vic.nm to the ''junk tire racket" endanger ing the lives of citizens, according to Theodore S. Johnson OPA' District Director. This racket has gained force as result of the very limited supply of sound used tires at the same time that the ending of gasoline rationing has brought an increased demand for them, Johnson explained. To aid motorists in determining if a used tire is sound, Johnson listed the following OPA qualifications for sound used tires. 1. It should have tread design and no space four inches or longer should be without tread design. . 2. The inside of the tire should be examined to see that it has no emer gency repairs such as boots, reliners and cold patches and that it does not have more than three vulcanized re pairs. ' ' ' 3. It should not have a repair that covers up a cut or break that is long er than half the tire's cross section diameter. 4. The tire must have no loose cords on the inside nor more than three radial cracks extending into the cord body of the tire. If a passenger size tire has these defects, it may be sold only as a limited service casing with a ceiling of 75 cents, unless it has a rehner, which makes it worth $3.75, or a cemented reliner, which increases its value to $1.50. 5. The tire must not be water soaked, drv rotted, hard or worn through more than half the plies. Such tires are scrap tires, worth only 15 cents.

C. OPA RAPPED BY WINFIEL! Raleigh, November 12. Although meat production in North Carolina expanding greatly from year to year, consumption of meat in- this State stilf far exceeds the amount grown, according to John Winfield, market newsman with the State Department or Agriculture. ... ': - Pointing out that this is not "healthy situation from an economic standpoint," Winfield urges farmers to work toward equality as regards meat production and consumption fn worth Carolina. He explains that despite the fact the primary source of meat in this area is hog production, relatively few hogs are now reaching the market in this State. ; ; v Taking a vigorous slap at the Of fice of Price Administration produc er hog ceiling of $14.55 per hundred, Winfield reports that while a 200- pound hog sold for meat cannot bring over $29.10 at hog-buying stations, 100-pounder sold for feeding breeding purposes frequently sells for as much as $25. He says that purchases of hogs at the Smithfield market dropped from $102,419.43 in September, 1944. $9,622.71 in September, 1945. "This is typical of the drop in sales at all hog markets," declares Win field in placing the blame for the decline at the door of the OPA. ILIEflSAILS NOTICE.

Oct. 18, 25, Nov. 1, 8, lg, 22 Farm Questions QUESTION: Should I sell my beef calves dropped in February or try to carry them over Into next year? : ANSWER: Leland Case, in charge of Extension Animal Husbandry, sug gests that under your conditions it is best to sell the calves, now because calves with their calf fat on them are worth more money per pound than yearlings. "It is my belief that if you havek extra feed for wintering cattle and plenty of pasture, you would do better in keeping a larger Cow herd rather than hold your calves over," Case says. "Some .of our . most suc cessful commercial cattlemen are creep feeding their calves, while they are running with' the cows, thus put ting extra weight and finish on them, which means higher prices." QUESTION: Can you give me some help in 'running bats out of my house? ANSWER: Since bats feed upon in sects while on the wing, there is no way of poisoning them. It is hard to shut bats out of an old established roost because there are bo many open ings. L.1 C. Whitehead, district agent of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice at State College, Suggests that you carefully close all the openings except one and then when the bats have left on their nightly search for food, Close the remaining opening. Whitehead has also been successful in driving bats from attics, double Avails, and other enclosed places in buildings by the use of napthalene flakes. The bats object to the odor of this mater ial ani will usually desert the prem ises,. The treatment may have to be repeated.
