Funeral services for Daniel Wil kerson Roberts, who died Sunday ; night at his home in Berlin, were i held at the Bush cemetery in the Cuba community Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Roberts succumbed to a two months’ illness of heart trouble. Sur vivors are his wife, Mrs. Pearl Over street Roberts; two sons, Ronald Roberts and Francis Roberts, both of Berlin; three brothers, J. W. Roberts of Marianna, Fla., D. B. Roberts of Bainbridge, and C. R. Roberts of Colquitt; and two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Grimes of Blakely and Mrs. Hattie Chandler of Atlanta. Mr. Roberts was a native of this county, and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jack Roberts. He was born April 14, 1886, hence | was 56 years of age. He was well known here, where he lived until 1924, engaging in farming and saw mill operations. He served for six years as Early county tax receiver. Since 1924 he had made his home in Berlin, where he operated a grocery business and a cotton gin. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Berlin Tuesday morning, with the Revs. A. G. Ott, O. H. P. Juhan, Sr., and H. G. Wells officiating. After the service the body was brought to this county and interred in the Bush cemetery, with Greene & Gregory, funeral directors, in charge of arrangements, and the following serving as pall-bearers: Warren Gay, Roy Nesbitt, Walter Williams, Lenton Odom, Billy Odom and Ky Wooten. Heartening Reduction Shown in Number of Auto Traffic Deaths Major John E. Goodwin, Commis sioner of the Department of Public Safety, reports that, according to records available as of June 2, 1942, Georgia has experienced this year the heartening reduction, during the first five months—January through May—of 100 automobile traffic deaths. The first five months of 1942 traffic deaths totaled 376. Major Goodwin points out that, al though the curtailment of gasoline and tires has helped to reduce deaths, the drivers themselves have helped by driving more carefully. Majo* Goodwin also points out that there are some drivers who are taking advantage of the lack of traffic and are still traveling too fast and reck lessly, else the 276 persons killed this year would still be alive. This is where the State Troopers play a big part—they are always available and at the public’s service. In order to keep the Troopers on the job, motorists must renew their driv er’s license, for the fees from these licenses are the sole support of the Troopers. Midnight June 30 is the deadline for renewing driver’s license. TO CLEAN OFF PLEASANT GROVE CEMETERY JUNE 19 Friday morning, June 19th, the Pleasant Grove cemetery is to be cleaned off.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA bmWHK". WASHINGTON Washington, D. C. (NWNS) —The most politically minded of the New Dealers—the ones who have never been able to subordinate “party” to the war effort —are worried over the President’s decision to make a dras tic cut in the appropriation for the WPA, which they always have rec ognized as a super vote-producing or ganization. And they are showing even greater alarm over Leon Hen derson’s unwillingness to appoint the “right people” to jobs in the nation wide price administration organiza tion which he is building up . The President has said that war jobs make it possible to reduce the size of WPA from an employment enrollment of around 800,000 to half that number and he has recommend ed reducing the funds for WPA by $185,000,000. Although the WPA claims to have accomplished a lot of good work, the records have al ways indicated that the cost was all out of proportion to the work done and the organization has been the leading butt of New Deal critics. Among the claims of WPA are that it has constructed 200 airfields and over 2,000,000 feet of airplane runways, has built or improved over 500,000 miles of roads, has con structed 69,000 highway bridges, and improved thousands of parks. Although many New Deal con gressmen realized that large expen ditures for WPA, when there is a shortage in labor for war production, could not be justified, some hoped that a new organization, tied up with the war effort, might take its place. Realizing that rationing, price control, etc., is the biggest single domestic undertaking, they saw Mr. Henderson’s Office of Price Administration as the best political opportunity. But they now complain that Mr. Henderson in many cases is appointing their political enemies to important posts in his organiza tion which may eventually include as many as 100,000 employees. It is believed, however, that Mr. Henderson’s absence of political con siderations in making his appoint ments is endearing him to the public and that he has strong public sup port. There have of course been many objectors to his gasoline rationing plan, but in most cases the com plaints are against unfair actions of local boards, motorists and gas sta tion owners who “are getting away with murder” and against the pro posals to extend gasoline rationing to states where the supply is plentiful. If rationing is extended, the main purpose will be to conserve tires. But the whole question of the pub lic’s continued use of automobiles is still due for considerably more anal ysis and clarification. Each day some new suggestion is made which re vises thinking on the subject. The most optimistic authorities here predict that some solution will AT WEAVER’S FOOD MARKET Fancy Carrots—Bunch 5c Fancy Head Lettuce 10c Fancy Celery—Stalk 11c Fancy Dry Onions—Lb. 5c 16-oz. jar Peanut Butter 19c 24-oz. jar Peanut Butter 27c 12V2-OZ. jar Honey 18c 14-oz.

WEAVER’S FOOD MARKET C. D. DUKE, Manager BLAKELY, GA. be worked out on the tire situation, that plans for carrying gasoline to the East by inland waterways will be put through and that we will be able to continue to get both tires and gasoline throughout the’ war. Under the sponsorship of the Small Business committee, Senator Ellender of Louisiana has introduced a bill into congress calling for leg islation to furnish tires throughout the war to keep 20,000,000 automo . biles running. The proposal is that I these tires be made of reclaimed rubber, part of which will be ob tained from the tires and tubes turn ed in by those seeking the new tires. The committee claims that not more than two ounces of new rubber is needed to make a tire of reclaimed rubber and states that if 3,500 tons of crude rubber are put aside for this purpose from our 750t,000-ton stockpile, they can develop a sys tem to collect all of the reclaimed rubber necessary. This bill will reopen the whole discussion on the use of automobiles, the rubber situation having been considered a much greater problem than gasoline. But, since we are the only one of the United Nations which has any rubber stockpile and are consequently being called upon to fill the needs of other nations as well as our own, it is expected that war production authorities will show that the reclaimed rubber which ■could be used to make tires for 20,- 000,000 cars could be put to more effective use in filling war needs. The public has been told so many things by so many different “author ities” that it has created utter con fusion on this subject. Speaking of the confusing and wasteful reports on activities in Washington, Senator Tydings, head of a special committee authorized to promote economy and efficiency in government, attacked the “daily del uge” of wasteful and expensive news releases on all subjects re leased by government publicity de partments. Pointing out that many of these releases are “utterly worth less,” he said: “We are of the opinion that near ly all, and certainly one-half of these releases, should be discontinued dur ing the war.” These releases cost the government and the people of the United States millions of dollars a year, consume the services of hun dreds of clerks and stenographers and duplicating-machine operators, the use of millions of dollars’ worth of printing and duplicating machin ery, and necessitate the utilization of thousands of square feet of office space besides adding unnecessarily to the housing and transportation congestion of the capital city of Washington.” JUNE 21 is Dad’s Day.
