I LIBRARY NOTES It is not surprising that a nov el of China today by Pearl Buck is the current most popular book. “Dragon Seed,” is considered the author’s best work since “Good Earth.” Ranking second is “Windswept,” a beautifully written story of the New Eng land coast by Mary Ellen Chase. “Wild is the River,” by Louis Bromfield, is a vivid story of tur bulent New Orleans during the War between the States. Bristol in the great days of sailing ships is the background for Marguerite Steen’s long saga, “The Sun is My Undoing.” There is a wealth of material in “Gardening in the South,” by George Briggs. It is designed to meet the needs of this section. Library hours: 1:30 p. m. to G:3O p. m. Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Verniece Beavers, Librarian.

Price Administrator Henderson j issued a general price regulation placing rigid government controls lover retail and wholesale prices for the duration of the war. Beginning May 11, manufac turer and wholesale prices may not exceed highest March 1942 levels for each individual seller. Beginning May 18, retail prices may nut exceed highest levels charged by each seller during March. Beginning July 1, no one may charge more for services sold at retail in connection with a commodity than he charged during March. All retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers and sellers of services must preserve for pricing purposes existing sales records made during March. Every retail store as of May 18 must display publicly the ceiling prices for “cost-of-living” com modities. Agricultural commodities are excluded from the order. Vari ous other items which do not con form with the price control act’s definition of a “commodity” are exempt also. In addition Mr. Henderson issued orders for rent stabilization in 30 areas of 46 states and Puerto Rico, housing more than 76 million persons. Four-fifths of the rents will be frozen as of March 1, 1942. The remainder were ordered cut back to early 1941 levels. Rationing The Office of Price Adminis tration said five different gaso line ration cards will be distri buted during registration in 17 Eastern States and the District of Columbia May 12-14. One card will be for nonessential users and the other four will designate varying degrees of essential users. Commercial and govern ment users of gasoline will be ex [ empt from the card rationing . plan, OPA said, and such ve , hides need not be registered if they are plainly marked. Gasoline consumption in the , east will be slashed 59 per cent . below normal starting May 16, the WPB announced Tuesday j night. This means that many of . the area’s 10,000,009 motorists probably will have to get along with as little as five or six gal lons a week. Stiff regulations controlling the installment purchase of neatly every article in common use in ; t.he American home was piomul . gated Tuesday night by the Fed . eral Reserve Board which, in ad ; dition, decreed that ordinary j charge accounts must be paid up j relatively quickly. The charge account rules, first ever issued, governing this typ • of buying, | provided that an article must be, paid for by the 10th of the sec ond month following the pur chase. The OPA announced appoint t ment of 60 spec alists to OPA of • fices throughout the country to 1 serve as technical aids in handl • ing problems arising from the; 1 sugar rationing program. Motor 1 vehicles in essential services may - not have new tires if recapped • ones will serve their purpose, the 3 agency said. New and used type • writers are not under quota re ! strictions but are available to 1 eligibles who can establish their 1 need for them, OPA reported.

NEEDS ENROLLEES The CCC needs all Georgia ' boys who are not employed in farm industry or in the armed forces to work on military pro jects within the Stare, Charles A. Coffin, Supervisor, CCC Di vision of the State Welfare De partment announced today. The Companies at Camp Van Horn, Fort Penning; Camp Stew art, Hinesville, Ga.; and Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga. are facing a scarcity of enrollees. In ac cordance with orders from Wash ington, all CCC projects for the duration of the war, will either be assigned to army posts, mili tary projects, or other work deemed essential for the Nation al Defense. By keeping our .camps at Georgia military pro ject? filled to capacity, the CCC .serves the Nation’s armed forces Iby relieving a large number of Engineer Corps soldiers for ac tive duty elsewhere. At Georgia military posts now, CCC enrollees are busy building military roads, parachute fields, machine gun ranges, and a host ;of other projects that are neces sary for our modern army. We also wish to stress to Geor gia boys that by enrolling in the CCC they will receive vocational training that may give them a higher rating when they become of draft age. This training will also enable them to secure em ployment after the war is over. All youths who are eligible should see their County Welfare Director at the County Seat, for immediate enrollment. The age limit is seventeen through twen ty-three and one-half years. Charles A. Coffin, Supervisor, CCC Division. ANNOUNCEMENTS The Baptist W. M, S. will meet at the church next Monday at 4:39 p. m.
