CCC OFFERS WORK
TO BOYS IN STATE
DEFENSE PROJECTS
The CCC needs all Georgia boys
who are not employed in farm in
dustry or in the armed forces to
work on military projects within
the state, Charles A. Coffin, super
visor, CCC division of the State Wel
fare Department, announces.
The companies at Camp Van Horn,
Fort Benning; Camp Stewart, Hines
ville, and Camp Wheeler, Macon,
are facing a scarcity of enrollees.
In according with orlers from Wash
•
ington, all CCC projects for the du
ration of the war, will either be as
signed to army posts, military pro
jects, or other work deemed essen
tial for the national defense. By
keeping the camps at Georgia mili
tary projects filled to capacity, the
CCC serves the nation’s armed forces
by relieving a large number of en
gineer corps soldiers for active duty
elsewhere.
At Georgia military posits now,
CCC enrollees are busy building mili
tary roads, parachute fields, machine
gun ranges and a host of other pro
jects that are necessary for our mod
em army.
Georgia boys enrolling in the CCC
will receive vocational training that
may give them a higher rating when
they become of draft age. This
training will also enable them to
secure employment after the war is
over.
All youths who are eligible should
see their county welfare director at
the county seat, for immediate en
rollment. The age limit is 17
through 2314 years.
COUNTY LIBRARY BE CLOSED

Gasoline Set For
May 11 to The 14
VOLUNTEERS ASKED FOR TO
HANDLE REGISTRATION AND
SCHOOLS WILL NOT CLOSE,
BOARD CHAIRMAN EXPLAINS
Registration for gasoline consum-j
ers has been set for Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday, May 12-14, it
is announced by the Office of Price
Administration.
In Butts county the registration
will all be in Jackson and the gym
nasium and Jackson public school
auditorium will be used, William G.
Presiton, chairman of Rationing
Board No. 2, explained.
There will be no school holiday,
Mr. Preston said.
The board is calling for volunteers
to handle the registration, as it is
felt the teachers have already done
their part in selective service and
sugar registrations.
Five different cards will be used
in the gasoline rationing program,
OPA said. One card will be for
nonessential users and the other four
will designate Varying degrees of
essential users. Commercial and
government users of gasoline will be
exempt from the card rationing plan,
OPA said, and such vehicles need
not be registered if they are plainly
marked.
The exact amount of gasoline to
be alloted has not been determined,
but a clarifying statement will like
ly be issued soon by government
agencies.
BE CAREFUL
During the spring and summer,
fires often become uncontrollable
on the farm. Extereme care should
be exercised when using fire in order
that no damage be done to the wood
land areas or buildings on the farm,
carelessness is one of the biggest
causes of fire losses, says the Ex
tension Service.
