The 155-millimeter gun is the mod
ern version of the old “GPF” of
World War I days. It has a range
fifty percent greater than the old
gun, heaving a 95-pound projectile
approximately 15 miles. It is capa
ble of high road speed and each
one costs $50,000.
Arsenals of America are working
at terrific speed turning out this long
range, effective weapon for our
armed forces. You and your neigh
bor working hand-in-hand in unity
can make possible the purchase of
an adequate number of these guns
by buying War Bonds. Put 10 per
cent of your income in War Bonds to
help reach your county quota, every

Georgia Fishing
Season Is Open
The Georgia fishing season was
opened last week by executive order
of Governor Eugene Talmadge, ap
proximately two weeks ahead of the
usual opening which is on June Ist. j
Many Florida fishing spots will not
open until June Ist, however.
State Wildlife Director Zack D. i
Cravey of Georgia is urging fishermen
throughout the state to “double up”
when they go fishing and thus share
their cars with each other. He said
many sportsmen are making it a habit
never to take along an “empty seat”.
“So far, our national leaders have
not asked anyone to give up fishing
for the duration, because this is one
of our most healthful and enjoyable
leisure time activities,” he declared.
“But gas and tire rations will limit
the amount of travel. However, by
doubling up when cars are used and.
by making the most use of local fish
ing places, fishermen still can enjoy
the thrill of their favorite pastime.”
Fishing licenses are on sale in all
county seats and cost $1.25 for the
season. The only fishermen who are
not required to possess one are (1)
those under 16 years of age; (2)
i those who’fish only in the county of
their legal residence and just use
worms for bait.
Georgia does not have a limit on the
size or number of fish which can be
taken (except in North Georgia trout
streams) but the Director is asking
fishermen to be “good enough sports
to limit themselves to not more than
20 fish (with a maximum of eight
bass) and said he hopes the next Gen
eral Assembly will provide such legis
lation.

DONALSONVILLE NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 29TH, 1942.
A WEEK OF .WAR
FROM THE OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT REPORTS
President Roosevelt, in a special
message to Congress, reduced his
WPA request for fiscal 1943 from
$465 million to $283 million. He said
the war effort is drawing workers
from every available source, thereby
reducing the need for a work relief
program. To meet labor shortages, he
said, even organized migration of
workers may be necessary. The revis
ed WPA program would provide for
an average monthly employment of
about 400,000 persons “who will not
be hired by private employers be
cause of age, lack of skills, or other
handicaps.”
Chairman McNutt of the War Man
power Commission directed the U. S.
Employment Service to maintain lists
of skilled occupations essential to war
produciton in which a national short
age exists, and to make preferenntial
referrals of workers to employers in
war industries. He directed the WPB
to classify war plants and war pro
ducts in the order of their urgency to
the war program. He also instructed
Selective Service local boards eo con
fer with local U. S. Employment Ser
vice offices before reclassifying any
men skilled in war occupations.
Mr. McNutt said if it is possible to
insure full utilization of manpower
through voluntary means, “it will be
unneccessary to put into effect legal
controls” to limit freedom of action
of workers and employers.
He said compulsion “may from time
to time be necessary,” however, in the
administration of the manpower pro
gram. He stated four-fifths of all jobs
in vital war industries can be handled
by women.
Rubber and Gasoline
The WPB said if Americans do not
conserve the transportation miles in
their tires it may be necessary even
tually to transfer automobiles and
tires to communities where they are
needed more. The Board reported no
rubber can be spared In 1942 or 1943
to make new tires for ordinary pas
senger cars, because the armed forc
es need all the rubber the nation can
muster from its stockpile, synthetic
program and greatly curtailed crude
sources. The synthetic program might
produce 30,000 tons of rubber this
year and 350,000 tons in 1943, the
Board said.
Price Administrator Henderson re
ported a preliminary count of car
owners in the Eastern rationing area
showed about 10 percent received X
ration cards, 31 percent received A
cards, 11 percent received B-l cards,
another 11 percent received B-2 cards,
and 37 percent recieved B-3 cards.
The OPA ruled X cards must be sur-
■ rendered if the essential purpose for
' which they were issued does not cov
i er “substantially all” of the use of the
i car for which they were provided.
The Armed Forces
House and Senate conferees agreed
on Legislation to increase the pay of
privates and apprentice seamen to $42
per month, and of privates first class
to S4B, and to provided pay raises for
the other ranks of enlisted men. Pre
sident Roosevelt set June 30 as the re
gistration date for young men between
the ages of 18 and 19 and for those
who reached their 20th birthday be
i tween December 31, 1941, and June 30,
11942. Only men 20 or older are sub-
Iject to military service under the Se
lective Service system.
The Navy announced it will begin
recruiting about, 1,000 negroes a
month on June 1. The Marine Corps
First Reseve Battalion of negroes will
recruit about 900 men during June
and July.
The Marine Corps also reported it
will waive certain physical require
ments in order to present commissions
to civilian specialists 20 to 50 years
of age. The Army doubled the quota
of 111-A SS registrants it will accept
monthly as volunteers for officer
training.
Woman’s Army Auxiliary Corps
Recruiting for the Women’s Army
Auxiliary Corps first officer candidate
school will begin May 27, the War De
partment reported. Application blanks
may be obtained only by going in
persoif to one of the 440 regular army
recruiting stations throughout the
country. The term of enrollment will
be for the duration of the war and not
more twin six months thereafter. Of
ficer candidates must be citizens of
the United States, between the ages
of 21 and 45, with a high school edu
cation or its equivalent in good health
and of excellent character. They may
be married or single. The first class
will consist of approximately 456
women, and will begin about July 15.
The War Front
President Roosevelt said the U. S.
still faces the prospect of a long war.
and overly enthusiastic optimism a
bout its progress is not justified. The
President presented the Congressional
Medal of Honor to Brig. Gen. James
11. Doolittle who led the party of 80
men who bombed the Japanese mail
land in Army B-25 bombers April 18.
No U. S. planes were shot down in
the raids. Gen. MacArthur’s head-|
quarters in Australia reported the
sinking of another Japanese cruiser,
two cargo ships and two enemy trans
ports. United Nations planes in Au
stralia destroyed 17 enemy aircraft
and damaged nine others. Twelve more
United Nations vessels were sunk by
l enemy submarines in the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico.
Protection of Civilians and Essential
Facilities
The President announced the Feder
al Security Agency, Office of Civilian
I Defense and Red Cross have agreed
I upon a coordinated plan to assist ci
vilian victims of enemy action in this
! country, The OCD Emergency Medical
Service will have immediate respon
sibility for care of persons injured by
air raids or shellin, and emergency
feeding and housing will be under
■ OCD local Defense Corps, The Red
j Cross will furnish supplementary
l equipment such as ambulances. The
j President directed the OCD to formu
late (with War Department approval)
a facility security program to protect
j “essential facilities” such as high
ways, communication systems, utili
' ties and mines against sabotage, and
to correlate it with such programs al
; ready placed in effect by the Army,
Navy and Federal Power Commission.
Transportation
The Office of Defense Transporta
' tion operation of all sightseeing bus
j services and restricted use of charter
ed buses to such essential operations
.as transporting members of the
' armed forces, war workers ad school
