With the U. S. Army already mak

W. M. Danielson, United States Publie
Roads Administration, announced that
the Federal Government has called for
“the utmost speed” in completing the
national truck and bus inventory and
that Georgia will attempt to have its
| part of the job done before the offi
cial deadline of January 31.
“Local civilian-defense councils in
' Georgia and throughout the rest of

tory questionnaire cards mailed to!
I them in recent weeks,’’ Mr. Danielson'
said. Many of the councils have al-]

“Due to the turn of events since!
December 7, it is imperative that the'
inventory be completed at the earliest
possible moment.” Mr. Danielson em
phasized. “The need for the informa-i
tion requested from truck and bus
owners is becoming more and more ap-i
j parent by the hour,"
In Georgia, 80 percent of the ques
tionnaire cards have been returned by
j truck and bus owners. For the entire

Price Ceilings
On Retreading
New Regulations To Be
Placed in Effect Jan
uary 19.
] WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. —The'
I government clamped price ceilings to-,
| day on charges that may be made I
; for retreading tires and served notice i
prices of used tires would be fixed
within a few days to halt “serious [
profiteering.”
At the same time two other major {
moves were taken bearing on the war i
effort on the home front.
The nation’s top-ranking medical
officers—Surgeons General James C.
Magee of the Army; Ross T. Mcln
tyre of the Navy, and Thomas Par
ran of the Public Health Service—ap
pealed for enrollments in the nursing
profession.
Unless thousands of young wo
men promptly enter schools of nursing
I they said in a statement, a present
shortage of nurses will “grow more
critical.”
The Office of Civilian Defense an
nounced it was preparing a victory
Garden program such as was carried
out in World War I when household
ers were urged to grow their own
food.
The retread price schedule becomes
effective January 19 and was ordered
into effect, Price Administrator Leon
Henderson said, because profiteering
in used and retreaded tires had reach
ed a point where it “cannot and will
not be allowed to continue.”
For a 6.00x16 tire—the size used on
most low’er-priced passenger cars—
I the maximum permissible charge for
1 retreading or top capping when the
best grade camelback is used is $7.50.
If done with second-grade camelback,
! the maximum is $6.45.
j Dealers selling retreaded tires may
‘ charge the maximum retreading price
!in each category of passenger car
I tires plus $1.50 for furnishing the tire
, carcass.
Each retreaded or recapped tire
j sold after 8 a. m. January 19 must
\ be accompanied by a statement to the
' purchaser as to whether the tire had
been retreaded or topcapped, the mar
i ket price of the camelback used, and
i the depth of the tread at the center of j
I the tire after completion of recapping i
or retreading.
All dealers in such tires must post ■
in their shops a copy of the govern-'
: ment’s maximum price list.
Here are prices as applied to more
popular sizes of passenger car tires:
