Eulogies on the magnificent wartime performance of the American railroads have be come a common occurrence. They are unquestionably re¬ ceived with pleasure by rail¬ road men. But no industry can live on compliments alone. Cold figures show that this country may have to do more than pass out compliments if it wishes to keep the rail trans- poration sysem it praises so lavishly- Under the impact of rising costs over which the railroads have no control—such as taxes and wages—net earnings are showing a marked downward trend. Comparison of the first nine months of 1943 with 1944, shows that while total operat¬ ing expenses rose 15.3 per cent. With this greater rise in costs, net, net railway operating in¬ come dropped 1.7 per cent dur¬ ing the latter nine month pe¬ riod. Net earnings have been falling since 1942, despite the heaviest volume of traffic in history. A recent railroad advertise¬ ment shows how every dollar received by the rails in 1944, was expended. Thirty-eight cents was paid out in payrolls; 29 cents went for materials and supplies and other operating expenses; 19 cents was for taxes; 7 cents was paid out for interest , rents and other charges; 2 cents was paid in dividends to stockholders; 5 cents was left over to be used for restoring roadway and equipment after the war, pay¬ ing off debts, and providing re- juajd jo jueuieAorduit ioj seAJes and modernization of service. Little wonder that we can be lavish in our praise of the American railroads! Never be¬ fore did the nation receive such a quantity of transportation for so little cost. Never before did the government collect so richly in taxes as a result of railroad operating efficiency. The least that the nation can do in return is to see that the railoads get a fair competitive break and are not taxed to death in the years to come. Improvements The improvements made by Mr. D. T. Brown, on the Dade County Times property is com¬ mendable in Mr. Brown. The buildings have a new roof and a new coat of much needed paint. Notice the Odd Fellows building have also received a coat of much needed paint. I. O. Wheeler is also painting his store building and the office of S. I. Hale. Some how or other this cleaning up business is catching; hope every property owner in town catches the, shall we say the disease? Yes, we hope every property owner in our town falls victim to the same trouble; call it disease or whatno t. We understand that the mother of A. L. Dyer who has been real sick at the home of Mr. Dyer is gradually improv¬ ing arid we hope will soon be herself again. We see our old friend and Post n . Master m W. H. Brock d , back , on the ob; and he looks him- se again. Well, the first Sunday in May will soon be heer again, and for many years it has been Memorial Day at old Sarah's Chapel and when it was first inaugurated, back inthe days of the Rev. R. L. Killian, who was one of the first to advocate this day of memory for our dead; that was more than a half century ago. We are won- aenng if anybody will arrange a program this year, so that we THE DADE COUNTY TIMES: TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 12 , 1945.

Hew Food Stamp Validation The Atlanta District Office of Price Administration called at¬ tention this week of the new OPA policy in issuing food stamps. New red and blue food ration stamps now become good on the same date; the first of each calendar month. Blue stamps and red stamps will be validated in blocks of five, mak inga total of 50 blue points for canned fruits and vegetables and 50 red points for meats and fats each month. Infants Shoes To meet critcal needs, shoe rationing will be extended May 1 to include the entire size range of infants' leather shoes, a spokesman for the Atlanta District Ofifce of Price Admin¬ istration announced. He point¬ ed out that infants shoes, sizes 0 to 4, which are not rationed, may be reurned to a dealer after May 1 in exchange for other shoes without sur¬ rendering a shoe rationing stamp, and that a dealer may not give a special .shoe stamp for the return of shoes which were purchased prior to May 1 as unrationed merchandise. Filing Date MPR 580 Reports A spokesman for the Atlan ta District Office of Price Ad ministration today remindec all merchants dealing in wear¬ ing apparel and home furnish¬ ings of the April 20 deadline for filing reports under maximum price regulation 580. Every re¬ tailer dealing in commodities covered by this regulation must file two copies of his pricing chart with his OPA District Of¬ fice by April 20, he said. He further cautioned that if by May 4 the dealer has not receivec from OPA a letter or post care acknowledging the receipt o: Free Industry Did It There are a lot of things the people of the United States have to be proud of, and not the least of these arethe industries that stand as a monumen to the individual initiative and enter¬ prise of American citizens. How well the petroleum in¬ dustry has served our country in meeting military and civil¬ ian needs is brought out by a special report submitted Jan. 2, 1945, by a sub-committee of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representtaives. On the subect of oil supply, the report said: "The industry, our many gov¬ ernmental agencies involved in this program, and the nation as a whole have achieved remark¬ able results, especially when measured by the difficulties in¬ volved. The production of crude oil, the basic supply of its products, though handicapped by a shortage of production ma terials, of labor supply, over¬ loaded transportation, and without any rise in price com¬ parable to other industries, has reached the greatest volume in our history- "The United Nations entered the war with a very small pro duction of 100-octane fuel. The United States has achieved the almost impossible by stepping up its daily production from 45,- 000 barrels in December, 1941, to more than 500,000 barrels. Oil, from the standpoint of its inherent value, is one of the cheapest products that money can buy. "For this magnificent accom¬ plishment, unstinted praise is due to the genius and produc¬ tive capacity of the American petroleum industry, production and refinement; to all the trans¬ portation agencies concerned; to competent military planning, for supplies, for the right kind at the right time, and at the right place.' "The tragic history of recent years has shown us vividly that freedom of the press cannot ex¬ ist wherethere is no political freedom; but the corollary to this basic truh is perhaps even more important—political free¬ dom cannot exist without a free press. An electorate fully in¬ formed on issues is as funda¬ mental to representative gov¬ ernment as the election itself. And full informaion through the press is the bulwark of the peo¬ ple's power to check up on their repreesntatives between elec¬ tions." — Thomas E. Dewey, Governor of New York. can all meet and have a real day together and at the same time, commemorate our loved ones who have long since passed over. Lots of real estate changing hands. Good time to sell. More property changed hands in Dade County in the past two years, than in any five years before. Sign of prosperity, in¬ flation or something; better think carefully before you act. The following report may be of interest to the people of Dade County at this particular time when we are thinking more or less of contributing to the Red Cross, which is such a worthy cause, when considered in con¬ nection with our valiant sol diers who may be woundec and suffering on the battlefields of war tom Europe. The following report comes tous direct from the battlefront in Europe, through Mrs. Ruby Bailey, whose son, Kenneth re¬ ports directly from his station that during he Christmas holi¬ days and on other occasions he has received parcels from the Red Cross containing to bacco, cigarettes, pipes, tooth paste and tooth brush, and manly qther things valuable and interesting to a soldier in action. He further states that during the Christmas holidays he re ceived a C hrismas box con t a i n j n g turkey, candy, nuts cherries, fruitcake and many other nice things that a boy would expect to receive if he were home in America. All these things mentioned the came through the hands merciful and service- Red Cross.

This action was made necessary because cations b ythe War Production Board for April production of passenger car tires amount to less than 65 per cent of those available for March, he said. New Car Stock Pile Recent national survey of 1942 new pasenger automobiles now remaining shows that the April stock pile of such cars is now reduced to 5,000 instead of the 8,000 which had been anti¬ cipated, a spokesman for the Atlanta District Office of Price i Administration said this week. "This figure, measured against! the numbf-r of automobiles that j are wearing our each day em¬ phasizes the responsibility of automobile owners to take every possible care of their cars,' the spokesman said. Resale Surplus Property Retailers are now requ red to keep their customary records, and all other sellers must keep specified records, on any sales they make of government sur¬ plus prope rty for which ceiling prices have been established in special orders. Heretofore, no record keeping was required in any special orders setting ceilings on different items of Government surplus property sold for civilian use. Non-Processing Included James M. Roberts, OPA's Dis¬ trict enforcement attorney, in Atlana, warned non-processing meat slaughterers today that they are still included under the regulations. "In a recent re¬ consideration of its decision, which excluded non-processing slaugherers are covered by the regulation," Mr. Roberts said. This action obviously removes any doubt that may have aris¬ en, and enforcement attorneys have been instructed to pro¬ ceed with all meat investiga¬ tions and prosecutions as if the original judgment, which was vacated by the consideration, had never been, issued," he said. j NOTICE, TAXPAYERS! j TAX COMMISSIONER’S SCHEDULE } Meet me at the following places listed below for the purpose ) of making your 1945 Tax Returns.
