FOR VICTORY HA UNITED STATES DEFENSE V b BONDS*STAMPS SI.OO A YEAR IN ADVANCE VOLUME XXVI. Cravey Wants New Game And Fish Laws Wildlife Director Zack D. Cravey said he strongly advocates a revision of many of Georgia’s fish and game laws and will work toward that end during the next General Assembly. High on his list of favored legisla tion is slicing the quail season from almost 100 to about 50 days. He said the fishing laws should-be tightened to the extent of making it illegal to purchase or own a net, seine, basket or other illegal devices for taking fish. As it is now, the violatoi’ must be caught in the act of using the con traption. Likewise, the Director said the state needs additional legislation making it prima facie evidence of fire hunting deer to be found at night on the range with flashlight and gun. Rangers now must find the violatotrs in the act of shooting deer by flash light. The Director said there is “no limit to which Georgia can’t go if we can just get the necessary co-oueration.” However, he said he considers the pro gram so “vast and vital” that sports men, farmers and others directly or indirectly interested and concerned should give “the program their su port." He is in favor also, he said, of tight ening Georgia’s forest fire control laws. “Because of the close relation be tween wildlife and forestry, it is nec essary that we have stricter laws con cealing setting woods afire”, he said. “When forests are destroyed, the ha bit of bird and game is ruined and even the water is rendered unfit for fish. Moreover, fires cause erosion and when the land is ruined, evepy irtmg is lost.” 4-H GARDEN WORK Last year Georgia 4-H Club mem bers completed more than 30,000 gar den projects, growing over 11,000 acres valued at three-quarter million dollars. The Agricultural Extension Service also says that approximately 5,000 4-H members completed orchard projects, growing tree fruits, bush fruits, and grapes valuded at more than SIOO,OOO. Two cows are recommended to sup ply a constant supply of dairy pro ducts to the farm family.

I BUY DEFENSE BONDS OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA President Roosevelt sent to Con gress a seven-point program of war time economic controls including heavy taxation, general rationing of all scarce commodities and stabilita tion of wages. He proposed that the net income of any individual be limit ed to $25,000 a year, after payment of taxes. The President described the program as one of “equality of privi lege” for all Americans in bearing the burdens of total war. Mr. Roosevelt said two points of the program require legislation, im posing heavy taxatoin to keep profits at a low level and stablizing farm prices. The other five points proposed by the President, adequately covered by existing legislation, call for gen eral price ceilings on commodities and rents, wage stablization at present levels, increased savings through pur chase of war bonds, rationing of all essential commodities of which there are scarcities, and further curtailment of credit and installment buying. Production and Conservation The President told his press con ference the War Production program, launched in January, is working out ! extremely well. He said the announc-| ed goals might even be expanded. The j steel plate shortage has retarded the shipbuilding program, he said, but on the whole there is no very great slowdown in ship production. The WPB ordered he cotton textile industry to convert specified precen tages of its looms to war production within 60 days, in order to' increase output of materials for sand bags, camouflage cloth, agricultural bags, etc. The Board said the automobile in dustry during February produced al most 27 percent as much war material as it did during all of 1941. A total of 600 plants in 32 states reported for mation of voluntary labor-manage ment committees. Rationing The Office of Price Administration issued instructions for the sugar ra tioning program, calling for registra tion of industrial and institutional us ers at High Schools April 28-29, and of comsumers at Elementary schools May 4 through May 7.

Consumers may purchase one pound of sugar with each of the first four stamps in the war rationing books. These stamps cover approximately two-week periods from May 5 to June 27. Registration cards will be held in Elementary Schools in 17 Atlantic Coastal states and the District of Col umbia May 12,13 and 14. Gasoline ra tioning will go into effect in these states May 15, OPA said. The amount of the ration will be determined by the petroleum supply situation at the time of registration. War Bonds and Finances The Treasury reported its drive for war bond purchases with at least 10 percent of the total national income j will begin May 1. The drive will have quotas of S6OO million for May, SBOO million for June, .and $1 billion for July, It will be conducted through ‘ State and County campaigns, the pay ! roll savings plan and volunteer minute ! men. Bureau of the Budget Director Smith announced increases in propos ed war expenditures for fiscal 1943 from $56 billion to S7O billion. He es timated war expenditures would reach a rate of $5 billion a month by Sep tember. The War Front The President told his press con ference he had been advised officially • of the interment of an American plane and its crew in Siberian Russia —ap- i parently one of the planes which re- i ported raided Japanese cities. U, S. troops arrived on New Caledonia to i aid the Free French in the island de fense.
