VOLUME LXXXI NO. 4
DOVE SEASON TO
RUN DECEMBER 1
TO JANUARY 11
COMMISSIONER CRAVEY WARNS
HUNTERS TO OBSERVE
REGULATIONS
Dove season will not open until
December 1 this year and the Wild
life Division is appealing to—as well
as warning—hunters to observe the
regulation.
Director Zack D. Cravey said the
dove is a migratory bird and as such
comes under Federal as well as
State protection. Thus the violator
is subject to prosecution by either
government.
A favorite game bird with many
ijunters, the dove has fallen off in
population to such extent that strict
conservation will be necessary to
prevent its extinction. For that rea
son, Director Cravey said, hunters
should be willing to observe the
closed season, bag limit (12 birds),
and the prohibition against baited
field hunting.
He cautioned hunters that Rangers
are on the lookout for such violators
and that he is asking the courts to
give the “stiffest fines possible.”
The “split” seasons which allowed
dove hunting in October in the
northern zone and in November in
the southern zone, has been discard
ed. Also the season, which runs
from December 1 to January 11, has
been cut from 72 to 42 days.
“However, a short season will help
restore the dove in more plentiful
numbers and sportsmen should be
far-sighted enough to realize that
such regulations are made, actually,
in their own behalf,” the Director
pointed out.

NEED OF SCHOOL
BOY PATROL FOR
BLAKELY CITED
IN TALK TO LIONS CLUB BY
REPRESENTATIVE OF PUBLIC
SAFETY DEPARTMENT
L. M. Jones, district supervisor- of
the Department of Public Safety,
spoke to the members of the Blake
ly Lions Club at its regular meeting
Tuesday, and put in a plea in behalf
of a school boy patrol for Early
county. It was pointed out that
there is an urgent need for Blakely
to have a patrol this year because of
the fact that school will be held at
several different plages over the
city, thus increasing the dangers of
children being injured in accidents.
The club voted to sponsor this
unit and to equip the junior patrol
men with necessary equipment. Lions
B. R. B. Davis, Bert Tarver and
Lewie Stein were appointed a com
mittee to assist the patrolmen in or
ganizing the unit.
The next meeting of the club will
be held on Tuesday night, September
16, at which time Ladies’ Night will
be observed. A special committee
was appointed to make arrangements
for the party.
Tuesday’s meeting was presided
over by President Philip Sheffield
and the music was by Mrs. Ben Hais
ten and Miss Jane Haisten.

Supcess to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts —“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead.”
The President created by Execu
tive Order a seven-member Supply,
Priorities and Allocation Board, with
Vice President Wallace as Chairman
and Donald M. Nelson, formerly OPM
Purchases Director, as Executive Di
rector. The Board will fix priorities
and allocate supply of materials, fuel,
power, and other commodities of all
kinds to meet the demands of the
Army and Navy, the defense-aid pro
gram, the policies of economic war
fare and the needs of the civilian
population. Members of the Board
are OPM Directors Knudsen and
Hillman, War and Navy Secretaries
Stimson and Knox, Price Administra
tor Henderson, and Lend-Lease Su
pervisor Hopkins.
Under the order, the Office of
Price Administration and Civilian

Division is created in the OPM to
protect the interests of consumers.
Both will be headed by Leon Hender
son, who was OPACS Administrator.
The order also transferred Edward
R. Stettinius from his post as OPM
Priorities Director to that of Lend-
Lease Administrator and appointed
Mr. Nelson as Priorities Director.
AID TO BRITAIN, CHINA,
RUSSIA—
The President announced a mili
tary mission will go to China to
study the need for equipment and
materials and expedite lend-lease
aid. State Secretary Hull stated
the U. .S. will maintain the policy of
freedom of the seas in shipping sup
plies to Russia via the Pacific. The
Presidlent told his press conference
an organized campaign of rumors,
distortions, half-truths and false
hoods regarding misuse of lend-lease
funds had been launched to sabotage
the program of aid to opponents of
the Axis.
AGRICULTURE—
OPM gave priority to deliveries of
materials necessary for the produc
tion of parts for the repair and
maintenance «of existing farm equip
ment and manufacture of new farm
equipment. The President vetoed a
bill to withhold from the normal
channels of trade Government-owned
cotton and wheat, because “in times
such as these no one can foresee how
soon these stocks may be needed.”
ARMY—
The War Department announced
creation of a third parachute battal
ion and a fifth armored division. The
Army also amended its regulations
to permit discharge of enlisted men
to accept Navy commissions when
the Navy so desires.
AIR—
Artemus L. Gates of New York,
World War Navy flier, was appoint
ed Assistant Secretary of Navy for
Aeronautics. Twenty-eight new Ar
my Air Corps units were formed,
including 26 school squadrons of
200 men each. The Army Air Forces
began tests of the P-40F, latest of a
series “giving excellent perform
ances abroad,” and sent Maj. Gen.
Brett, Chief of Air, to Africa and
the Mediteranean area with a mis
sion to study planes in action and
needs of the British.
CIVILIAN DEFENSE—
The Army announced it will test
the air defense and air warning
system of the northeastern U. S. in
maneuvers October 9 to 16. Approx
imately 43,080 volunteer civilians in
the system will participate. A pre
liminary report of the mission sent
to England by the Office of Civilian
Defense recommended fingerprint
ing of every U. S. citizen for identi
fication of casualties and that neces
sary civilian defense personnel, in
cluding police and firemen, be ex
empt from military service.
OiCD Director LaGuardian report
ed incomplete returns oh the alumi
num collection campaign showed
14,000,000 pounds of scrap, yielding
10,500,008 peunds of aluminum, or
enough for 2,800 fighting planes, has
been collected.
PRICES—
Associate Price Administrator El- ’
liott suggested women can help check
price rises by writing the Price Ad
ministration’s consumer division in
THIS WEEK IN NATIONAL
DEFE-NS-E
Washington of unreasonable ad
vances in costs of living; by consult
ing city and county officials to see
whether increases are justified; buy
ing this winter’s coal supply now;
reporting rapid rises in rents to state
and local housing agencies; buying
defense bonds instead of new cars,
refrigerators, washing machines or
other household appliances. The Of
fice of Price Administration set ceil
ing prices on animal hair used in
mattresses, rayon grey goods, dimi
ties, voile and combed broadcloth—
thus covering almost all textiles re
quired for women’s dresses, men’s
shirts, underwear, coat and suit
linings, handkerchiefs, sheeting and
other items of cotton and rayon.
CONSERVATION OF
MATERIALS—
<gPM requested bicycle and furni
ture manufacturers to conserve ma
terials by simplifying models and
designs, eliminating brass, chrome,
nickel, copper and metallic finishes,
white side-wall tires, and using re
claimed instead of raw rubber. The
Division of Consumer Supply asked
consumers to take special care of
their cars, cut down on consumption
of tires, gas and oil, and offered a
check-list to aid in conservation.
WPA inaugurated a program to sal
vage steel from*- abandoned publicly
owned street car rails. The War
Department reported, it had found
recapped and retreaded auto tires
gave 80 per cent of the service of
new tires and cost 60 per cent less.
DOCTORS, DENTISTS,
NURSES—
Federal Security Administrator
McNutt announced an agency will
be set up to mobilize physicians and
dentists to meet special demands
for medical care arising from the
defense program. Plans will take
into account distribution of doctors
and dentists in relation to popula
tion, training and experience and
their availability for service. Red
Cross Headquarters and the OCD
announced plans to train 100,000
volunteers as nurses’ aids with the
help of local hospitals. Volunteers
must be between 18 and 50, gradu
ates of high school, physically able;
they will be selected by local public
health and nursing groups and
serve as assistants to graduate nurses
in hospitals without pay after 80
hours of intensive training over a
seven-week period.
SELECTIVE SERVICE—
Headquarters directed local draft
boards to speed arrangements foi
aiding in the reemployment of sol
diers the Army is planning to re
lease beginning September 1 by get
ting in touch with former employers
or finding other jobs for the sol
diers. In the first case of its kind,
a discharged selectee from New York
was returned to his former job aft
er the local U. S. attorney requested
his firm to take him back for at
least one year although the firm said
his job had been abolished while he
was gone. >
OIL, GASOLINE—
President Roosevelt told his press
conference the launching of many
oil tankers already on the ways and
the operation of tiwo pipeline* from
the Southwest to the Eastern sea
board will materially relieve the
gasoline shortage in the East by next
spring. Price Administrator Hender
son issued a table of- fair maximum
retail prices for “regular” gasoline
in 40 major cities, and the Senate
began an investigation of the short
age. Acting OH Coordnator Davies
said “sinister and planned” sabotage
may lie behind the “multiplicity of
misinformation” that there is realy
no shortage.
NEW PLANTS, FACILITIES—
The Government contracted for
the following new plants: pig iron,
Cleveland, Youngstown, and Warren,
Ohio, and Birmingham, Ala., $58,-
312,000; ordnance facilities, Chatta
nooga, Tenn., and St. Louis, Mo.,
