The Yancey Record
I received your paper
for some time while I was 1
at Maxwell Field, Ala. I
enjoyed it very much as
it gave me a good idea of
what was happening back
home. Since I have moved
several times recently I
Mre been urable to rece
ive a copy.
I will be at this field for
a few months. Please
change my mailing address
to the above.
If you have a little space
to spare v I would like to
express my appreciation
to my many friends who
remembered me with a
Christmas card. At this
time when all furloughs
were canceled, they were
very much appreciated.
- Sincerely,-
, Corp. P. F. Phoenix.

The Record:
I appreciate very much
you sending the Record to
me. I enjoy reading the
paper very much and your
policy of sending a paper
to the boys in the army,
who lived in the county be
fore entering the army, is
a very good policy. You
are doing more than your
part toward keeping up
‘ the -morale of these men.
M y complete address
will be found on the other
side of this card which
will enable me to get the
paper sooner. " ....
May much success and
happiness be yours in the
coming year.
Yours truly,
Pvt. Benjamin Wilson.

TRUCKS SHOULD BE
REGISTERED
North Carolina owners
of trucks and buses are re
quested to return the que
stionnaires sent the m.l.
This is vital to national
defense.
Th i s makes 4 i abso
lutely imperative that tho
se who have failed so far
to make out and return
their questionnaires do so
*at once. After they have j
| been received here, they!
must be summarized- and
| prepared for transmittal \
to Philadelphia, _ 1 i
This inventory is an em-j
ergency measure, Mr. Wa-i
tters ; pointed out, and it
has a twofold purpose,
both of which arevitaliy
important. Most imperati
ve is tfiat this gives a me
ans of planning national
defense emergency transp
ortation to meet war time j
requirements. An invent
ory of this nature also Will,
help form a basis for pri
ority ratings assuring fut
ure production of new mo
tor vehicles and replace
ment parts for existing eq
uipment. The questionnai-j
re carries no obligation. It
is a step toward organiz
ing all available means of
transportation during a
critical emergency.
Excluded from the in
ventory are: passenger
cars, light form or passen
ger car trailers, station
wagons ambulances, hear
ses and fire trucks. Own
ers of all other types of
motor vehicles used for,
[ transportation pu r p oses
should fill in and return
their cards immediately.
There have been’ some
’ instances wherein bus and
■ truck owners have not se-;
’ cured sufficient question
naire cards to cover their
, fleets of trucks snd busses. 1
. It also has been reported
that some owners have
failed to get theirs. In in
■ stances where either of
these cases have occured, j
1 a request addressed to the
“Highway Traffic Advis- 1
ory Committee” in care of
the State Motor Vehicle
Department in Raleigh
will result in questionnai
res being forwarded. Own
ers are asked to specify
‘ the number of cards desir
' ed and whether they ar*i
for trucks or busses in ma
