Repair your farm machinery . . . Sell all scrap iron that you don’t need. That is the urgent
request being made to American farmers by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Machinery
needs to be in top condition for the 1942 food-for-freedom crop. Scrap iron on farms is badly
needed by the steel industry in order to turn out sufficient munitions.
Light Truck
Owners May
Get Tires
The Office of Price Administration
announces that the following change
'has been made in the rationing of
automobile tires.
“Effective March 1 all truck tires
should be charged against the truck
allotment regardless of‘size and only
passenger car and motor cycle tires
are to be charged against the passer
ger car quota”.
Heretofore the light weight truck
tires had to be charged against the
•limited passenger ear quota which
miade it almost impossible for a farm
er with a light weight truck to get a
tire. By the above change, farmers are
now having a better chance of ac
quiring truck tires providing they use
the truck exclusively for farm work.
The Office of Price Administration
instructs the Rationing Boards not to
issue certificates under any circum
stances to a person with a light
weight truck who uses this truck lor
all purposes.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Darbyshire, Miss
es Nan and Josephine Benton and Mr.
O. H. Wilkes, of Moultrie, were guests
of friends and relatives here Sunday.

GOOD MANAGEMENT IS FARM
WOMEN’S CHIEF WAR ROLE
Miss Ruby Thompson, associate
state FSA director in charge of home
management, in a patriotic yet practi
cal appeal to the 30-odd thousand FSA
homemakers in the state, lists seven
things they can do as their part for
Victory. They are:
1. Raise food if you live on a farm
or have a good piece of ground for a
garden. Save everything you raise to
use fresh, store and can. Do not waste
food in thick peelings, by carelessly
burning food, or letting food spoil.
Save all fats, and use fats that can
not be eaten for making soap.
2. Do your own sewing. Make over
old clothes and save all scraps as they
may be used in bed quilts, quilted
house coats, pillow’s and draperies.
3. Fix over old furniture instead cl
buying new.
4. Take the best care of household
equipment that you can.
5. Get your money’s worth by buy
ing things that will wear a long time.
Do not buy sugar or other foods to
last a long time ahead.
6. Be a good manager. Plan ahead
what you spend and keep a record of
I what you spend.
7. Be a good neighbor. Exchange
w-ork and work together. Use to
gether things that are scarce or that
cost too much for you to buy for your
self alone.
“The way you spend your money
and manage your home is your part
for Victory,” Miss Thompson said.
“Therefore, you should not buy things
for your home that you can do with
out. Instead, now- is a good time to use
your money to pay off debts and save
'for the future. Remember, there is no
[shortage of food, so feed your family
better than ever so that it will be
strong for its share of the job ahead.”
“Some types of farm machinery
are built of angle steel, bolted to
gether, in order to keep down the cost.
A regular procedure is to tighten
these bolts. When bolts no longer
hold owing to wear or enlargement of
the bolt holes, the modern welding
torch supplies the answer to this pro
blem.”
A dry shelter for the dairy cow- can
be provided by using scrap lumbar
[and other material.

A WEEK OF WAR
FROM THE OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT REPORTS
The War Production Board said
shortages of some materials and man
power were more limiting factors in
all-out production than difficulties in
obtaining production facilities. The
Board reported airplane production,
though ahead of schedule, would be
more advanced if more materials had
been available. Chairman Nelson said
he has not “recognized the possibility”
that any phase of the production pro
gram would fail to meet the goals an
nounced by President Roosevelt.
To speed production Mr. Nelson or
dered all war 1 supply contracts to be
negotiated instead of determined by
competitive bidding. Contracts will be
assigned to firms requiring smallest
quantities of new equipment to fill
orders, he said. The WPB began an
inventory of all idle machine tools to
make them available for war produc
tion.
The WPB said war expenditures
during February reached nearly SIOO
. million a day, 18 percent greater
in January. RFC disbursements and;
treasury checks for war purposes to-i
taled $2,330 million for the month. |
The Board announced mass production •
of tanks making greater use of cast!
steel and welded hulls has begun.
Strip mills that last year made sheet ;
steel for automobile bodies are being
converted to manufacture ship plate.
The Navy ordance bureau said its con
tractual obligations increased 49 per
cent in the two months after Pearl
Harbor.
Rationing
Price Administrator Henderson re
ported United Nations’ rubber require
ments will not allow any rubber for
new or recapped tires for nonessential
passenger cars. There is not sufficient
rubber now to sustain the rate of mili
tary production and the most essential
civilian needs, he said. To insure
maximum durability of tires now be
ing recapped, Mr. Henderson said he
is developing minimum standards for
grades of recapping material being
manufactured. The WPB reported
athletic equipment manufacturers ex
perimenting with reclaimed rubber
have developed serviceable squash and
tennis balls and are working to de
velop an all-reclaimed core for base
balls. The WPB sugar section began a
survey of the sugar situation in all
non-Axis countries to find all supplies
of sugar available to the United Na
tions.
The WPB stopped all sales and de
liveries of new and used typewriters.
Chairman Nelson authorized the Of
fice of Price Administration to ration
such typewriters at both wholesale
and retail levels. Petroleum Coordina
tor Ickes said gasoline very likely will
be rationed if the War Council of the
Petroleum Industry recommends such
action.
Civilian Defense
President Roosevelt authorized the,
ODC to begin placing orders for civi- j
lian defense workers’ equipment and]
medical supplies. OCD Director Land
is requested civic officials not to ask
OCD Headquarters for equipment be
cause distribution will be based on a
priorities system established by the
War and Navy Departments. Priori
ties will be based on likelihood of at
tack, vulnerability, and importance to
war production of manufacturing
plants in community.
The House passed and sent to con
ference a bill providing the War Da
mage Corporation with a fund of a
billion dollars to insure property in
the U, S. against damage by enemy at
tack. Director Landis said regional
black-outs are planned for later in the
Spring and a New England test black
out probably will be held this month.
He announced a plan whereby the 3,-
600 posts of the Veterans of Foreign |
Wars will cooperate with local defense
councils in civilian mobilization.
The War Front
Gen. ?JacArthur's small air force
sank more than 30,000 tons of Japa
nese shipping in Subic Bay, resulting
in the loss of thousands of enemy
soldiers. U. S. Forces in operations
west of the Gilbert Islands destroyed
16 of a formation of 18 Japanese
k.a’-V bomber;. L’. S. submarines inj

the Far East torpedoed 10 additional
enemy vessels. Enemy U-Boats in the
Atlantic sank the Destroyer Jacob
Jones, an ore carrier and two freight
ers. General Wavell was relieved of
command of Untied Nations forces in
the East Indies to resume as Com
mander in Chief of India.
War Taxes
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
asked Congress to increase this year’s
Federal revenue by at least $7,600
million to reach $27 billion goal set
by the President in his budget mes
sage. Mr. Morgenthau recommended
income taxes be doubled on incomes
below SIO,OOO to help raise $3,200 mil
lion. He also recommended increases
of 3 billion in corporation taxes and
$1,340 million in excise taxes. He ask
ed that the national debt limit be rais
ed from $65 to $125 billion.
Army Progress
President Roosevelt signed the $32
billion fifth supplement war appro
priation bill providing $23 billion for
the army. Congress completed action
on legislation increasing the pay of
enlisted men and officers serving out
side continental United States. The
Senate approved a bill providing
clothing and equipment allowances of
$l5O for commissioned officers. Sec
retary Stimson announced formation
of the Seventh Armored Division with
10.000 men at Camp Polk, La. He said
sulfanilamide is now standard equip
ment for all U. S. troops in combat
areas because it was found particular
ly effective in curing abdominal
wounds at Pearl Harbor.
The W r Department estimated
there are approximately a million Se
lective Service 111-A registrants of
whom 150,000 are suitable as prospec
tive officers under the plan calling for
four months training in field units and
then at least two months in officer
candidate schools. The Department
said after the March 17 lottery, Se
lective Service registrants will be
placed in two groups—one of the new
and the other of the earlier regi
strants. Local boards will set ratios
between the two groups in calling men
for induction. Furloughs to adjust
