Show Lee Asks Truck Owners to Comply With Law Compliance with the 'spirit as well as the letter of the law," was urged by Orville L. Lee of Paradise, Para-dise, chairman of the Utah state USDA war board, for farmers operating op-erating trucks under "Certificates of War Necessity" after November 15. He said that farmers should make arrangements now for pooling pool-ing trips and trucks with their neighbors so they can cut down mileage and still get the Job done. He said that while the certificates certifi-cates will indicate the mileage and the amount of gasoline which can be used, this should not be considered con-sidered as a restriction but an opportunity op-portunity to serve in the cause of freedom. "Every needless mile we use our tires only adds to the possibility of our losing this war," he said. Moving farm produce to market where it can be sent on to where It will aid in the war effort is, and must be. the first Job for farm trucks. To insure that this produce pro-duce can keep moving to market should be the concern of every farmer, he added. Application for "Certificates of War Necessity" have been filled out and returned to the Office of Defense Transportation from most Utah farm trucks, Mr. Lee said. He urged, however, that where an application has not been received re-ceived that the operator immediately immed-iately conta-ct his county Wai board for Instructions. |
