FOR VICTORY A Buv united states defense BONDS • STAMPS SI.OO A YEAR IN ADVANCE VOLUME XXVI. ft ' 1 - '-X Sro "-y 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.

(Turn To No. Two On Back Pago) 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’.

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.
