Qifford's MEN'S STORE 3 . Amended Rulings Made On "R" and "E" Gas Stamps . trSA $6.95 Since March 15th, all R and E coupons must be endorsed with the holder's name and address, but to avoid the trouble of signing every coupons, which might be quite a Job for larger consumers of gas, the name and address may be written across ,the face of a whole block or strip of such coupons, or on one stamp within the group of joined stamps. Single stamps have to be endorsed when detached. A second ruling affecting the handling of R coupons for use is effective April 1st. On and after that date, only those fliling stations having written permission from the District Director of OPA may accept R coupons for gasoline. Those who purchase gasoline in bulk from authorized filling stations, from a wholesaler operating a bulk plant, or have it delivered to storage tanks on their lots or more, premises in will continue to use the R stamps. However, there are some locations in which authorized bulk dealers may not be available. Where this situation exists, the following procedure will apply. ; Holders of R stamps will apply to their local War Price and Rationing boards for the exchange of their R stamps for E stamps representing an equal amount of gallons of gasoline. This may be done in person or by mail. These E stamps received in exchange then can be accepted by any retail dealer for gasoline as R stamps have in the past. This is a move to beat the Black Market; assure more certain distribution of gasoline to those justly entitled to their share. non-highw- ay non-highw- ay No Crop Is Better Than Its Seed for - GOOD SEED Mr. and Mrs. O.

A. N. Robbie m T Plenty to Eat in '44, Say WFA Chiefs at Average Citizen Will Find Table Well Supplied. 8' WASHINGTON. The two men in Washington in position to know about the average American civilian's dinner table say you'll be comfortably fed in 1944. Even if large quantities of food are sent abroad to our armed forces, to our Allies and to starving people in countries released from Axis domination, there still will be enough for Mr. Average Citizen and his family to furnish them above the average prewar diet barring an upset in crop prospects, these men say. "Our national diet will be as good as in prewar years," predicts Marvin Jones, war food administrator. "Decisions now made probably will mean as much food per capita as in the prewar years." "The American diet in 1944," says Roy F. Hendrickson, director of food distribution of the War Food administration, "though differing somewhat in composition, will be about the same in quantity and nutritive value as that of 1943 and above the average prewar diet if "crops are Seamless Sheets 81 108 81 x 99 Hogg mi Pillow Cases Sanforized Plain White Navy Ladies' HEAVY Spring WASH TOWELS What will Mrs. Housewife find on grocery store shelves thi3 winter and next summer and what will the average family have on the table? Civilians, says WFA, will have about the same amount of white potatoes, rice and canned vegetables during the next year as they had from 1935 to 1939. They will have more meat, if WFA predictions are fulfilled, a larger supply of eggs, sweet potatoes, citrus fruits, dried peas, dried beans and likely a good supply of coffee, flour and other commodities.

"I have one hand on a pot and the other on a machine gun." That's the recipe given by marine Mess Sergt. Jay Carter of Pink Hill, N. C, who is credited with shooting down two Japanese dive bombers and serving up a batch of hot corn bread all within an hour's time. Mess Sergeant Carter literally "doubles in brass" by taking charge of a galley and by serving as a gunner on the machine gun which is placed just a few steps from his kitchen door. "I was just baking a batch of corn bread when the signal for the raid came," the slightly built, marine explains. "I quickly shut off the stove and ran to the gun. There were five Jap planes diving down on us. I just opened up and let them have it." Asked what he did then, Mess Sergeant Carter replied: "I went back into the galley, lit the stove again, and finished making my corn bread." Mess Sergeant Carter would be willing to overlook the whole incident, except for one thing. He feels that it is an unforgivable error to interrupt a North Carolina man while he's baking corn bread.
