Careful Use of Old Tires To
Govern Permits For New
Purchases In Future

Under a r cent .amendment to
tire rationing regulations, all pasi-
aiger cars, except those driven by
people who must necessarily travel
at high speeds, 'are required to
have their tir-s recapped or re-
creafed "to complete exhaustion"
before .they are eligible for a new
tire, the local rationing office re-
veals.
Complying with this regulation
'is not optional with the appli-
cant, and if ha runs a ,tire beyond
a stage of recapping or retreading
it is his own fault, and an appli
cation for a new tire should not
be approved." the strict new reg-
ulations signed by W. C. Sher- 1
man, state rationing administra-
tor, pointed out.

Our Coun-try Right or Wrong


QUOTA SYSTEM WORKS INJUSTICE

As far as we can learn, the group of 1-A
men in Gulf county has been exhausted. for
some time, and in order to fill quotas assigned
the local draft board is continually reclassify-
ing the men registered to get sufficient to
make up the necessary number. This causes
confusion, uncertainty and worry to draftees
and their families.
It isn't the fault of the local board that
they have to dig into the deferred lists, be-
cause they have to fill the assigned quota,
whether or no, and it proceeds to reclassify
enough men to do so. As a result, men with
a certain degree of dependency are being
taken. And all the time other draft boards
have more 1-A men than they need. They are
young, single and without dependency proo-
lems. Yet many of them may wait weeks or
months before the quotas assigned to their
particular boards cause them to be called.
We believe this could be corrected by
adopting a system 'of state quotas -.in,_lr .-.lhic
all 1-A men would be called up. fr.,'..'ilra.t
boar:di which had them before an.. Oth-er;
\ouid. be 'diafted. Recent figures indicate
ihat tlh. i.- are approximately 9,500,000 single
men without dependents on the draft lists of
the nation.,Every available man among them
should be taken before any reclassification is
considered. They expect it-why not call
them?


SOLVING THE RUBBER PROBLEM
The greatest war shortage facing the
United States is rubber, but now it begins to
look as if something definite and construc-
tive is about to be done
It is stated that new and faster processes
will produce, before the end of 1943, 34,000,-
000 more automobile tires than were ex-
pected. Further, synthetic rubber will be bet-
ter on the whole than natural rubber, and its
cost will not be materially greater.
This -doesn't mean that any motorist can
afford to "burn up" his rubber on the theory
that replacements will soon be available. Mil-
itary needs'will absorb most, and perhaps all,
the synthetic rubber produced for a long
time to come. Rigid conservation of rubber,
as a result, remains an absolute necessity,
and motorists will do well to follow the order
of State Director W. C. Sherman to hold driv-
ing speeds down to 40 miles an hour or less.

A senate sub-committee is planning a trip
to Alaska to look into onr. defenses there.
Perhaps they will be able to dispel the tog

Islands.


If you burn coal, better buy it now-might
not be able to get it when winter comes, due
to the transportation shortage.

A PETITION TO THE CITY

Gents and Kind Sirs: On Thursday of the
present week, along in the shank of the eve-
ring, your humble petitioner and his tom cat
wvas setting out on the front steps not saying
a word to. nobody, but waiting for a breeze
to come along and fan their fevered brow.-,
when a cat belonging to a neighbor came
sashaying across to where we was at anc
mnde sonic coarse remarks to our cat down
in its throat, and our cat got up and frizzled
up his fur and told the neighbor cat it was
everything it called him and two more on top
oi that. A\nd the neighbor cat kept on casting
aspirin at our cat until our cat walked over
and took a poke at the neighbor cat, clawing
cun<-ulh fur off to mnike a small-sized pair- of
kitten britches. And the neighbor cat seen he
had reckoned without his host, as we editors
say, and it lit a shuck and club up a tree
in the yard.
.\lout this time the party who owns the
cat came out on her front porch and says did
we run her cat un the tree. And we told her
no ma'am we did not. And she says well, our
c:it did, which was the same thing. And we
told her our cat and us was in two different
lines of business altogether, and neither had
anything, whatever to do with what the other
one done, but if she wanted us to we would
sic our cat on her cat and make it jump out
of the tree. And she said we'd better not if
we know what was a-ood for us, and if we
didn't climb up the tree and get her cat down
she would have the law on us. And rather
than have an argument, we clumb up the tree
and said kitty, kitty, to the neighbor car,
which acted like it didn't have no sense, but
kept on getting farther away every time we
clumb up any closer, and finally we got our
on a little limb where we didn't have no no-
tion. of going, and we told the lady who is
proprietor of the cat that the only way we
seen to do was to shake it off. And she said
we'd better not if we knew what was good
for .us. And we told.-her we couldn't spend
the balance of our life setting astraddle of a
rimb hollering kitty, kitty, kitty, to a pin-
headed idjit that wouldn't pay uz no mind, as
we was a -molder of public opinion and there
.was a whole lot down at the office in an un-
molded form that required our attention. And
she said, sarcastic like, yes, that that's what
she'd heard, and if we didn't get her cat down
she would see if there wasn't some law in
the land against a person running another
person's property up a tree and leaving it
there. -
And when we seen we couldn't do nothing,
we dumb down, and the cat is still uo there
and hollers real mournful at night. And what
your humble petitioner wants to know is, has
the city got any such officer as a Official Cat
Getter or something, and would it be asking
too much to ask you to do something quick,
as matters are rapidly approaching a crisis
or a focus, or whatever you call it, and we
have to walk two blocks out of the way to
keep from being told about what's coming
off if don't get that cat down.- Macon
Telegraph.

An ardent prohibitionist in Tennessee is
urging "drys" not to ride on synthetic rubber
tires made from grain alcohol, saying: "Fel-
low prohibitionists, let us refuse to use this
product of an evil industry in any way, shape
or form as we have in the past. We had rather
walk than ride on tires made of alcohol."' In
our opinion he should be whooping it up for
more tires made from alcohol, as the more
alcohol used for this purpose, the less there
will be for making liquors.


England has had forced savings for over
a year. Canada has just recently put it in the
budget. We wouldn't be at all surprised if
we didn't have it here soon.

..- People who long for the good old days
would hate to read this stuff by a candle.-

Folks' who believe our dictator ing costs, and OPA has dena-


enemies operate with smooth ef-
ficiency don't know that the Nazis
are. now afraid of a food shortage
on the-ir home front.
Axis powers are having plenty of
trouble in their own back yard.
None of the conquered peoples

strate that they are badgered ana
harassed, by continued resistance,
and. now they fear food short-
age. The Gestapo has moved in on
the German food front to silence
complaints from the people, and
fighting continues in the "con-
quered" Balkans.

U. S. Food Prices
On our own food front, prices
not under OPA control have risen
sharply-lamb and roasting chick-
.ns are up 10 per cent, apples are
now 50 per cent higher than March
prices for the fruit. Controlled
foods, like beef. veal and pork,
have remained, steady.
We have no food. shortage. The
few things that are hard to get are
scarce .because we're sending them
to folks who need them worse
than we. The dictators ar,
taking food away from those who
need it more than they,
Price Enforcement
No uniformed Gestapo is con-
trolling inflation over here. It's the
people who suffer from high liv-


critically put .enforcement squarely
up to them.
Effective immediately, customers
may sue storekeepers who violate
the regulations by overcharging
them. Retailers who lose such suits
will have to pay the customers
three times the overcharge or $50
-whichever is greater-plus fees
and costs.
SProduction Goes Ahead
Reports for the first half of 1942
show that we have .doubled and
tripled our output of planes and
anti-aircraft guns and ships. In
view of our losses in the Battle
of the Atlantic, the report on in-
creas'ed ship production equals
news of winning a battle.
Insiders are worried over the
disappointing flow of scrap metals
to 'blast furnaces which can't ob-
erate without scrap. Anyone -who
knows of a scrap metal pile and
doesn't act to see that it gets into
production is helping our )enemies.
Silver is going to replace scarce
copper and scarcer tin in 'engine
bearings, solders and electrical In-
stallations. For centuries the most
treasuneid metal in the world, gold
now stands alone as the world's
most useTess war metal.
But we're not fighting for gold
or for the traditional values It
represents. We're fighting to pre-
serve freedoms far money import-

Although the army postal serv-
ice has delivered .millions of let-

,out the world, some mail intended
for soldiers at overseas stations is
being delayed or returned to the
Sender because of erroneous or in-

The following 'instructions are
issued by the war department to
enable the families and friends of
soldiers to address .their letters so
that they will be delivered prompt-
ly.. :Mail addressed to army per-
sonnel serving outside the contin-
'ental limits of the United States
should clearly show:
1. The grade, first name, middle
initial and last name of the .per-
son addressed, followed by his
:army serial number, if known.
2. The letter or number of the
company, or other similar organiza-
tion of which the addressee is a
.member.
3. fThe designation of the regi-
ment or separate battalion, if any,
-to which the company belongs.
4. The army postoffice number
'in care of the appropriate post-
.master, for example:
Private JoTn J. Doe (Army Serial Number)
iCompany H, 315th Infantry
,APO 981, Care Postmaster
San Francisco, California
The name and address of the
.sender should ibe written in the
upper left corner of the envelope
.and sufficient space should be left
'to allow for a forwarding address.
,It is stressed that location of an
,overseas station should not be
-used, and there should. be no ref-
erence \in' correspondence which
might associate the army .postof-
fice (APO) number with the geo-
graphical location of the unit.
Before a soldier leaves for an
overseas station, he will be fur-
nished an APO number and in-
structions that mail 'be sent in
care of the postmaster of-a cer-
tain city. This information should
be sent by the soldier to his fam-
ily and friends so that their mail
will reach him with the least pos-
sible delay.
If the APO number does not ap-
pear on a letter, it is necessary
to check the number and organi-
zation, causing considerable delay.
Mail addressed to army person-
nel at posits, camps or stations
within the continental limits of the
United States should show the
same 'information as prescribed for
units outside the continental U. S.
except that postoffice address of
the post camp or station should be
use d, preceded in appropriate
cases by the APO number if ap-
plicable.
Mail addressed to army person-
nel on maneuvers within the con-
tinental U. S. should show the
same information as prescribed
for -outside the continental U. S.
Prior to beginning of maneuvers,
the postoffice department, with
the concurrence 'of the army, will
designate the postmaster in whose
care, mail for personnel involve'-
will tbe addressed.
Soldiers are advised to inform
relatives and friends of the correct
method of addressing their mail.

Great Danger of

Forest Fires In

Case of Air Raid

State Forester Asks Landowners
To Take Good Care of Fire
Fighting Equipment

Iere in Gulf county, in case of
an air raid, one of the big dangers
.would be from forest and grass
fires, and in this connection an
appeal for the care and mainten-
ance of forest fire equipment is
voiced by H. J. Malsberger, state
forester, which he directs to land-
owners of this section whose for-
est acreages are under fire pro-
tection.
"The growing difficulty in se-
curing fire-fighting tools and their
i::creasing importance in the state
de''ense program makes the situa-
tion doubly acute." Malsbcrger
states. He points out that forest
fires may be used by fifth column-
ists to guide aerial attackers to
*strategic points, while the smoke
from the same fires interferes with
th:: movements of defense forces
and hampers the accuracy of anti-
aircraft batteries. Saboteurs may
also employ, forest fires both in
their activities and to cover up
i.ier operations.
'n the event of aerial attacks on
smaller communities, or the rural
sections, much of the damage that
might occur would begin in the
t-orm of woods and field fires ig-
nited by falling bombs. Organized
crews to fight such fires should be
a part of every local defense plan
and forest fire tools should be
their weapons.
"In view of the part that woofs
fir.s can play in national defense,
it is more than ever important
that c:-':-thing possible be done
-o p..-vent and promptly control
fires," states Malsberger. "Some
states have already passed laws
making the setting of a woods lire
an act of sabotage." He urges that
those who have fire tools keep
them in the best possible repair
and, if the tools are beyond use,
salvage all parts that can be used
for repair and replacement pur-
poses.
