Periodic inspection of passenger
car tires and tubes is vital to the:
mileage rationing program.
Inspection periods for the three :
classes of rations are as follows: I
“A” book holders must have one
inspection within every S IX i
MONTHS period—on or before
September 30 and March 31 of"
each year. Inspections must be at ,
least 90 days apart. I
“B” book holders must have one
inspection within every FOUR i
MONTHS period——on or before .
June 30, October 31 and Februaryl
28 of each year. Inspections must}
be at least 60 days apart. I
“C” book holders must have one '
inspection Within every THREE
MONTHS period—ton or before
August 31, November 30, Febru-
ary 28 and May 31 of each year.
Inspections must be at least 45
days apart.
Tire inspection may be done by
only those local filling stations,
garages, and tire repair shops
that have been specifically desig-
nated by the various War Price
and Ration Board as Official Tire
Inspection Stations. Such stations
display an identifying poster furn-
ished by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration.
All cars must have one sticker
but one only. Gas station opera-
tors are instructed not to give
gas to cars without one sticker
or those with more than one.
:k :14
The Office of Price Administra- "
tion today announced the follow-
ing revisions in rationing regula- I
tions: .
1. Small merchants who do not
have ration banking accounts will
be given more time to surrender
coffee and sugar stamps to sup-
pliers for stock replenishments,
after the close of the period in]
which the stamps are valid for
use by consumers. !
2. A more accurate method of
determining if any part of a sup- I
plemental ration allotment, re- I
ceived by an institutional user in l
the first or second allotment per- ‘
iod, was in excess of his needs. I
3. Wholesalers who suffer in-
ventory losses in rationed cheeses, I
due to cutting operations mayI
apply at their local boards for
ration points to offset the loss. ‘
Heretofore, wholesalers haveI
been granted points to make up
for shrinkage in cheese, but not
for cutting, for most cutting, un-
der normal conditions was done
by the retailers.
Due to rationing retailers are
buying smaller quantities and the’
wholesalers are therefore doing
the cutting and may now‘ obtain
extra points to offset waste in
cutting as well as in shrinkage.

ECONOMIC WASTES AND TAXING
When we stop to think of it the country has gone a
long ways toward socializing and regimenting the people
in recent years and restricting their once prized liberties,
now growing tighter under the guise of war needs; and
whether there is any real progress worth while under the
crats, volunteer help, and demands ad infinitum and ad
nauseum, is open to question.
Formerly, we had car tax, gas tax, license to drive,
and now an added $5 federal tax for the privilege of own-
ing a car but limited gas, also taxed, to go anywhere; and,
a multiplicity of forms to fill out to get the gas.
NowE
comes the food restrictions, forms to fill out and pass on
to get points needed, numerous trips to the ration boards,
and a complicated system of coupons intended to drive the
. people “nuts.” 3
But what of the “nuts” who devised all these systems ',
of regulation, the thousands ofiprinted forms to fill out,
and the million or two of federal employees who are loaded
on the backs of the people which have no relation to real}
to‘
'the time and cost imposed on the public and absorbing a
huge slice of the funds now adding up to, the greatest na-
tional debt in history. This tinkering with the national
economy has now reached into the human economy, with
the war as an excuse for those in power to work out their
A REAL SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Sunday, July 4th, and Monday the 5th, were the first
real safe and sane Fourth holidays in the history of Shel-I
ton and Mason county, due to the restrictions on fireworks,
gasoline and liquor, and although the weather had just
turned hot there were no home or timber fires.
I
Now there isneed to turn our undivided attention to
the dangers from-fire in :the woods as well as around theI
homes and in toWn ,for the next two months of summeri
drought when everything is tinder dry and a match or butt, .
or even a bit of glass in the sun’s focus can start a con-
flagration. " '
Travel is more-pr less restricted along the highwaysl
and county roads, and in many places in the woods where-
fishermen would like to go,'but those who hunt the open
spaces should bear in mind that the fire patrols and guards
are on duty and eVer watchful for the careless flippers who
start something they cannot control. Make the summer
safe and sane.
NEW AIRPORT CALLS FOR SERVICE
Although Shelton has never been officially advised,i V
that there is an air field under construction in the vicinity, i
it is now generally known that the field, with its runways; 9‘
and other facilities, is about ready for service, and that
small companies of men of‘»? army and navy are arriving
with'their equipment, and some planes are dropping on the ‘
field, indicating that active training will soon be in progress. ,9 -
Locally, the-public is aware of the newcomers because, ‘
the officers and men are coming to town, and some of them i
are seeking homes to have their families near them; and}
there is also the need for the community to provide service I "
and recreation for the men who are stationed at the air-1
port, something that so far has not been done because the 5 ‘
matter has not come .to the attention, of the citizens. Shel-I 1
has so far met its obligations to service men and may be; ,‘
counted on to do its part, when advised of the needs; ex-i f
c’ept in regard to housing which is Out of the question un-i
{less some agency functions to unfreeze the necessary lum-
ber, materialsand labor for new building.
VICTORY GARDENS BRING RETURNS
Those who had the ambition and the energy to start; V
their Victory gardens are already beginning to realize on,
their investment of time and cash by furnishing their tables ‘3 .
i
with their own product, and in the main it is pretty goodI
truck, fresh peas, lettuce, cabbage, beets, onions and Spin-x
ach, and coming along soon will be beans, potatoes, tomaq
toes, corn, cucumbers and such other produce as will go,
into the cold storage and the cans. * 1
Of course, the best gardens have been raised by those!
with good soil, some fertilizer and some know-how, but'
good gardens have come to most folks who have kept the}
soil stirred and kept the pests down, and there will be}
few failures to discourage would-be gardeners. With the,
current prices for all kinds .of green stuff in the markets]
the Victory garden is proving a blessing and a saving,
which will be more apparent as the year closes.
THE" LAND OF FLORAL BEAUTY
Puget Sound is the real flower region of theland, and
is now in the midSt of its floral beauty even though the
earlier annuals are gone, because the roses are in their
prime and there is great variety of c010r in their blooming,
and their perfume. I
It is doubtful ,if anywhere in the East can be found
such variety of blooms as in this section, and if there is
any comparison it may be in a few parks and special gar-,
dens which are. uncommon and not Within the View of the;
ordinary visitor. V 1
Around Shelton there are flower as well as Victory}
gardens around most homes, and r0S€}S pf every known
variety and name are to be seen at their best; the flowers I
and the climate are the great attractmn to visitors as Well‘
as enjoyment to our own folkS, and add pleasure to living;

THREE ALPHABETICS WOUND UP

of economy and cut out funds for the NYA, CCC and WPA,
these agencies devised in the days of depression but muchI
abused, there is hope that more Of the wasteful a‘lphabetics I
will go into the discard. These three agenmes were particu- !

white collar jobs than for people In need, and how they hate i

am dictating this letter now is
one.
“The other day I was in a
front line observation post. A
young officer there was particu-
larly excellent in his observation
of enemy activities. I asked him
where he had developed his tal-
ent. He told me that he Was an
Eagle Scout.
“The Scouts, largely because of
their training, realize that we. of
the United States havo more to
fight for than any other nation,
because we are fighting not only
for our flag, our country, our
homes, but also to preserve and
maintain the finest form of gov«
ernment in the world, the, form of
government which gives to its
citizens opportunities never possi-
ble under any other system of
government.
“My message, therefore, to the
Scouts of America is this: ‘Carry
into the war those ideals for
which our movement has work-
ed. It is they for which we are
fighting and We must win’.”

Prev‘enfs‘ the "Bends"
Before our. fighting pilots take to
the air for stratosphere flying they
must be “suped-up.” To do this the
pilot just before he takes off pedals
a stationary motor driven bicycle to
reduce the amount of nitrogen in his
blood. Otherwise gas bubbles would
collect in his blood stream.
The stationary bicycle is an in-
expensive piece of equipment, but
I the vast quantities of this and other
materials of war make it imperative
for all of us to keep our fighting men
well supplied by greater and greater
purchases of War Bonds.
