Uie of Southern Textiles
Unlike the traditional Arabs, Sou
therners are folding their tents to
silently send away. Where? That’s
a military secret, but Southern fab
rics are sheltering our boys in many
lands, for we’re making thousands
of tents—large assembly tents, me
dium-sized tents, and little pup
tents.
Army and Navy contracts for
Southern textiles jumped last month
to the tune of $16,500,000, says
WPB. A silk hosiery mill, facing
bankruptcy for lack of silk, con
verted its machines to make pup
tents. Garment manufacturers are
making uniforms, including those
natty ones for Army nupses. The
South is producing cartridge belts,
cook’s aprons, sand bags, underwear,
shirts, tape for parachutes, and mat
tresses for the boys to sleep on.
Don’t Spare That Tree!
Lumber is needed all over the
South. If you know anyone who
can furnish it, the War Production
Board wants his name.
Beekeepers are called upon to in
crease honey production to help off
set sugar shortages.
OPA has ruled that preachers,
doctors, and veterinarians who get
CHICKENS—TURKEYS
STAR SULPHUROUS COMPOUND
given in drinking or feed, destroys
in tha germ period—intestinal germs
and worms that cause most all dis
ease and loss in egg production.
Also rids them of blood-sucking lice,
mites, fleas and bluebugs. Then
they will stay in good health and
egg production at a very small cost.
Money back if not satisfied.

Buy Your Coal
N O W!
In view of the congested transportation prob
lem, which is expected to grow steadily worse, the
Government is advising and urging consumers to
stock up coal supplies now. There is no assurance
the railroads will be able to haul coal by winter and
the family who buys now will not have to worry.
We have on hand adequate stocks of
GENUINE MONTEVALLO
CREECH—EVER-GLO EGG
And can fill your orders on short notice. These
brands are time-tested and recognized for their
value in giving maximum heat at low cost.
We are not trying to frighten anybody, but do
believe it is a safe policy to buy the winter coal
supply now.

new tires and tubes must use their
cars “exclusively” for professional
calls.
Army Buys Peaches, Beans
Canners of peaches, string beans,
peas, and tomatoes were ordered to
set aside larger portions of their
1942 pack for purchase by the mili
tary agencies. The government will
buy up all canned applies, beets and
carrots this year—folks on the home
front can get them fresh.
OPA has clamped its price control
on “services”—repairs on a squeal
ing radio, bent fenders, dry clean
ing, everything needing service ex
cept yourself. Personal services such
as haircuts and operations are ex
empt.
If Winter Come*
If you write to any soldiers in
Australia, remember—lt’s mid-winter
there.
You may apply more than once
for sugar for canning fruits. No
sugar for canning vegetables. Rail
road workers are classed as defense
workers. The new government war
risk insurance is being handled by
local fire insurance men. War news
is bad; but we’re making the things
needed for victory, production news
is very good.
Scrap Salvage
The WPB said anew and greatly
intensified campaign to salvage vital
scrap materials will be formally
opened July 13, because the only way
the U. S. can meet materials require
ments of war production is “to col
lect every last bit of scrap from ev
ery farm and home, and from every
commercial enterprise and industry
in the country. The iron and steel
industry has raised about $1,500,000
and the glycerin industry about
$500,000 to finance national adver
tising to stimulate scrap collection,
the board said. The farm implement
industry has offered to assist the
country’s 12,000 state and local sal
vage committees in the collection of
rural scrap. Materials to be sought
in particular are iron and steel, rub
ber and waste fats.
The rubber scrap salvage cam
paign will close at midnight July
10. The public buildings adminis
tration reported 15,000 pounds of
scrap rubber were salvaged from
federal buildings during the first two
weeks of the campaign. The War
Department said the Army faces a
250,000 ton rubber shortage by the
end of 1943, but present plans do
not include military recfuisitioning
of civilian tires.

Rationing
Price Administrator Henderson
said consumers may purchase an ex
tra two pounds of sugar between
July 10 and August 22, in addition
to the basic half-pound-a-week ra
tion. He said the new East Coast
coupon system for gasoline ration
ing will grant a fraction of a gallon
more per week than temporary A
cards, but the conditions that must
be met to obtain supplemental ra
tions under the permanent system
are so strict that most motorists will
have to get along on the minimum.
Motorists will register for A books
July 9, 10 and 11. Small boat own
ers will be issued E and R gasoline
ratiin books and will receive a basic
six months ration of four gallons for
each horse power for inboard mo
tors and five gallons for outboard
motors.
The OPA set the quota of passen
ger automobiles for rationing dur
ing July at 25,000, excluding
state and national reserves, which
will reduce the original inventory of
about 402,000 cars to about 260,-
000. Between July 9 and August
31, the Office will release 230,000
bicycles for rationing—lßo,ooo to
the states, 20,000 to state reserves
and 30,000 for a national reserve.
