Gasoline Available For

RALEIGH, September 30—
The distance for which gasoline
may be used to deliver a newly
purchased naw or used car is
set at a maximum of 200 miles,
the Raleigh Office of Price Ad
ministration announced today.
This action, which is effective
October 1, tightens previous re
gulations in Regard ito moving
cars after sale, to conserve the
use of rubber and gasoline.
The amendment provides that
Tio person may use gasoline to
move a car after sale a distance
of more than 200 miles upon its
own wheels.
Previous provisions allowed lo
cal Rationing Boards to issue
special rations for up to 200
miles of travel to deliver a car
after sale. While this provision
was intended to limit travel of
cars on delivery to 200 miles, it
did not legally prevent use of
any gasoline already in the tank
of the car when it was purchased.
Neither did the previous regula
tion prohibit persons from add
ing to the delivery mileage by
towing two or more cars, each of
which had a special ration pro
viding 200 miles of travel. As a
result cars in many instances
were being moved distances far
•greater. f'Oh ISe 200 mies inten

Hints To Farm
Homemakers
- By Ruth Current
N. C. State College
In spite of the publicity given
to War Bonds, there is still con
siderable misunderstanding about
them. Here are some of the
questions most frequently asked
home agents and suggested
answers to them:
1. What 'kind of government
bonds should a farm family buy?
War Bonds are the safest in
vestment ever offered farm peo
ple. Just like a $lO bill, a War
Bond is the promise to pay by
the strongest government in the
world, but unlike the $lO bill,
the War Bond pays interest and
if lost or destroyed will be re
placed.
2. "I bought a SIOO Liberty
Bon'd back in 1918 and when I
came to sell it, I got only $83.50
for it. Will that happen to these
‘E’ Bonds?”
War Bonds are not subject to
j market price fluctuations. A
j Series E Bond may be redeemed
j at any time after 60 days from
j issue and the owner will always
get at least as much as he paid
j for it.
j Interest accrues to the bond
iby increases in the redemption
j value after the first year and at
; the end of each half-year period
thereafter until the bond is re
deemed or matured. In other
words the bond “puts on
weight” and if kept until matur
ity a ill return $4 for every $3
; invested.
The owner of a bond can re-
I deem it with the United States
Treasury but he cannot sell it
• to anyone else.
3. "Should I buy War Bonds
or pay debts?”
: Get debts into shape and. then
build up a financial reserve in
War Bonds. Getting debts into
• shape, however, should not nec
j cssafiiy mean getting entirely
out of debt. If all of any in
| creased income available is paid
on a mortgage, it will probably
jbe necessary after the war to
; borrow again to replace and re
| pair equipment and buildings at
a time when it may not be so
easy to increase a mortgage as
it was to reduce it.
When the war ends, a reason-

ROXBORO RAMBLER
NEWS AND VIEWS FROM ROXBORO HIGH SCHOOL
By Misses Elsie Mae Long’, Mary Ruth Long And
Nancy Stroud.
Students of Roxboro high
school began the school year
with, the determination to do
their part in, the purchase and j
sale of War Stamps and Bonds. !
This determination is kept alive
by three things: the desire for ;
their homo room to win a half!
holiday, desire to top all schools
in the county and desire to back !
the boys in service.
A check up at the end of the j
first month of school, Monday, j
September 27, showed that the :
three winning grades were as j
follows: Mrs. Nichol’s 12th grade j
home room for the . high school i
with $2,031.10; Mrs. Blanchard’s!
home room for the Bth grade :
V. ith, $333.25 and Miss Carver’s !
7th grade for the elementary
school with $564.30. In addition
to winning the half holiday for
the first month, these three
grades won the privilege of
marching in the parade Wednes
day.
The results of each home room
sales and purchases from Sep
tember 9th to September 27th
was as follows:
Mrs. Trowbridge: $554.50; Mr.
Young: $318.75: Mrs. Street:
$971.25; Miss Sears: $150.60, and
Mrs. Crowell. 5209.00.
Mrs. Joyner: $244.25; Mrs.
Blanchard: $333.25: Miss “Wilson:
$406.72; Miss Massey: $131.25,
and Mrs. Nichols, $2031.10.
Miss Carver: $564.30; Miss
Slaughter: $2.20; Miss Lawrence:
$20.25; Miss Holt: $1604.17, and
Mrs. Clayton, $1846.00.
Grand total for the school is
$9,378.39.
The contest for the first month
is over but the race is on for the
second month. One grade bought
SBSO worth of bonds in the first
day of the second month.
Although our boys were de
feated last Friday night, we are
proud of them. They have prov
ed that Roxboro has real sports
manship. Oxford hadn’t planned
on our boys being as fully pre
pared as they were.
The boys put up a hard and
steady fight. Both co-captains
were injured during the game,
but wouldn’t stop playing until
the end.
We went to the boys on the
team and asked who did they
think was the outstanding play
er, all said Herbert Whitt. Her
bert played a wonderful game,
with the backing or all the boys.
It seemed as if none of those
Oxford boys got in Herbert’s
hair.
The lineup for last Friday’s
game was as follows;
Line: left end: Dewey Holle
man, left tackle: Payne Wil.ker
son, left guard: Herbert Whitt,
center: Snooks Wade (co-cap
tain) right guard: Howard Cruse,
right tackle: Frank Jordan, right
end: Buck Taylor. - H
Back field included, wingback:
Nesbit King (co-captain), block
ingback: Dowd Johnson, full
back: Raymond Clayton and
quarterback: Bruce Newell.
We make the rounds of all the
homerooms every week. We get
many requests for different
write-ups. Some of the room of
ficers have been selected. They

so funny Bruce and. Jean use to
go together. They make a smart
pair.
We have been wondering what
Mrs. Clayton’s dramatic class
has been up to. Mrs. Clayton re
fuses to say a thing. Watch for
an announcement.
We also chose the boy and
girl of the week. The reason why
we chose them is that we think
that they are all-round students
in every way. They are both
quiet, courteous and respectable.
Dowd Johnson and Ruby Ann
Mancss are our ideal students for
the boy and girl of the week.
There have been many re
quests for gossip to be put in the
Rambler. Well, we can’t that’s all
we can say.
We’ve said quite a bit about
why we don’t publish the “Ram
bler” ourselves. What we want
to know is if we do try this will
the people of Roxboro back us
up?
We wish to thank the teachers
in Roxboro High for the co
operation they have given us to
make this paper possible.
