EARLY COUNTY, GA. GARDEN SPOT OF GOD’S COUNTRY VOLUME LXXXI NO. 45 Driver’s License Must Be Renewed By Midnight June 30 Have you renewed your driver’s license? Only twelve more days to renew before June 30th. Major Jphn E. Goodwin, Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, ad vises that Georgia car owners and drivers may still be able to get some gasoline and their tires will last for some time with careful driving, and to do any driving at all, they must have a driver’s license. Even if the car has been placed in the garage for the duration, there will come a time when it will be absolutely nec essary to use the car, so the owner should renew his license and avoid the embarrassment of being stopped and not be able to present to the officer his driving license. Major Goodwin points out that there are some people who still be lieve that all members of a family can be licensed in one driver’s li cense. *This is erroneous, for each driver must make separate applica tion for a driver’s license. To renew a license the applicant must fill out completely the neces sary application for license, attach renewal stub from his old license, and a postoffice or express money order or cashier’s or certified check, and mail to Driver’s License Divis ion, Department of Public Safety, Atlanta, Ga., before midnight of June 30, 1942. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank my friends for the acts of kindness and tender thoughts of sympathy extended to me at the time of the death of my loved one.

Army Signal Corps Soundphcto.) * Rationing Regulation For Sugar Allowance For Home Canning The Office of Price Administration today took steps to conserve the na tion’s fruit crop through the is suance of a new sugar rationing regulation which will permit persons who do home canning to obtain su gar in proportion to the amount of fruit canned. Under the new regulation, home canners may obtain one pound of su gar for every four quarts of finished canned fruit, and an additional pound of sugar for each member of the family unit for the packing of preserves, jams, jellies and fruit butters. The previous regulation permitted each person to obtain a total of five pounds for home canning. If this amount has already been used, it must be computed in any new home canning sugar allotment. Price Administrator Leon Hender son said the new regulation does not mean that unlimited supplies of sugar are now available for home canning. Consumers wanting to take ad vantage of this new regulation may make application to their respective local rationing boards, using OPA Form R-315, which is the Special Purpose Application for a Sugar Purchase Certificate. One adult mem ber of family unit may apply for the entire family. In making applications, consumers must furnish information which will enable the local boards to determine the quantity of sugar which the family unit needs. An applicant must give the names of all consumers on whose behalf an application is filed, the serial num bers of their War Ration Books, the number of quarts of fruit packed last year, the number of quarts of fruit now in their possession and the number of quarts they intend to can during the period for which the application is made. The OPA warned that on any sub sequent application for sugar for purposes of home canning, the ap plicant will be required to report the number of quarts of fruit actually canned with the sugar previously obtained, and the quantity of sugar and canned goods remaining on hand. A person making a false report will be subject to the penalties pre scribed for violation of the rationing regulations. If any of the sugar allotted for home canning was not used in ac cordance with regulations, stamps will be removed from War Ration Books equivalent in weight value to SI.OO, John Slaton SI.OO. C. G.

NATION-WIDE DRIVE NOW ON TO GATHER SCRAP RUBBER A nation-wide campaign, begin ning Monday, June 15, and contin uing for two weeks, is under way to gather scrap rubber for the na tion’s war effort. The several thousand filling sta tions throughout the country are to serve as receiving stations and are authorized by the government to pay a cent a pound for all scrap rubber left at the stations. The government will reimburse the stations for the amount they expend for this pur pose. Every American is urged to thor oughly search the homes, yards, places of business and premises and to gather any discarded tire or other article made of rubber which is of no use or value and carry it to the nearest service station. The amount of rubber gathered during these two weeks may deter mine whether gasoline rationing is to be nation-wide and also whether there may be some rubber allotted for retreading and recapping pur poses. FISHING LICENSES ARE NOW ON SALE AT SHERIFF’S OFFICE Fishing licenses for the 1942-’43 season are on sale in this county at the office of Clarence E. Martin, sheriff, in Blakely, State Wildlife Director Zack D. Cravey announced today. He said they cost $1.25 for resi dents, including all service men from any state who are stationed in Geor gia, and are sold in each county seat. Out-of-town residents pay $5.25 for a season license; $2.50 for a 30-day license, and $1.50 for one which is good for 10 dass. The only fishermen who do not need a license are (1) those under 16 years of age and (2) those who fish just in the county of their legal residence and only use worms for bait. Director Cravey expressed appre ciation for the cooperation given con servation by fishermen during the past season and said he is appealing for such support again. He also said that reports from throughout the state indicate fishing conditions are good this season. The only legal way to catch fish in Georgia, Mr. Cravey reminded, is with hook and line. He urged that anyone seen using nets, traps, seines, baskets, guns or dynamite to get fish be reported to the Wildlife Division or a Wildlife Ranger. Don’t forget FATHER’S DAY, June 21.
