COL.JOE TELFORD
SPEAKS TO ROTARY
George Westmoreland, chairman
of the program committee of Jef
ferson Rotary, presented the guest
speaker for Tuesday, Colonel Joe
Telford of Gainesville. Col. West
moreland referred to the fact that
he and Col. Telford are both natives
of White County and he freely com
plimented the visiting speaker as a
lawyer of merit.
Col. Telford said that the law was
used to settle disputes and differ
ences between individuals and the
same kind of machinery should be
used between nations, instead of
using war with all its horrors.
The speaker then discussed the
subject “Small Towns.” A feW years
ago small towns were being reduced
in population and financed by the
cities. Now, however, small towns
are coming again into their own.
Small towns are greatly benefitted
by industries and especially small
industries. Many merchants in these
little trade centers carry up-to-date
stocks of merchandise. He told
about going to a big city to buy an
article which he did not find there,
but upon Jiis return
exactly what he wanted in a store
of his home city.
After his address appreciation
was expressed by President Clifford
Storey, as well as by Colonel West
moreland.

TIRE QUOTAS
In order to stay within sharply
reduced passenger car tire quotas
for April, War Price and Rtationing
Boards in the Atlanta District have
been instructed to narrow sharply
the list of essential users to whom
tires are issued during the month
of April. The board has been furn
ished a preferential list of occupa
tions.
The creations of such groups is
necessary because allocation for
April by the War Production Board
amounts to less than 60 per cent of
the number of tires available for
March. The Jackson County War
Price and Rationing Board’s March
quota of 187 passenger car tires
was reduced to 80 for April
It is necessary that such a list be
used in channeling this reduced
quota to persons whose transporta
tion needs are regarded as most
essential to the war effort.
The first priority group is limited
almost entirely to persons whose
CC©pations are of emergency na
ture.
The relative emergency status of
the groups comprising the priority
lists has been certified by the War
Manpower Commission.

Board, Jackson County.
