Gas Dealers
Attend School
On Rationing

More than a hundred service sta
ton operators and attendants were
present for the Chamber of Com
.mercc school at the Vance county
court house last night and heard the
gasoline rationing regulations, as
they affect the dealers, explained by
Arthur II. Surprise, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
There were many questions during
the progress of the discussion and
il was generally conceded that the
service station men left with Il
clearer view Of their part in hand
ling rationing.
The dealers were advised To- toe
the line" and follow the rules with
out regard to personal friendships
or arguments on the part of the Gus
TONERS. The dealers were particular
ly warned that if inspectors call on
them the inspectors would in all pro-
liability try To make purchase
either without Il gas rationing book
or with an improper book.
When customers drive into service
stations in the future, Mr.. Surprise
recommended that the operator ask
for the ration book and make sure
that the book is in order and issued
for that particular car before any
gasoline is pumped. If gasoline is
pumped into il car and proper cou-
ponS cannot be given, the station op-
orator will have to Syphon the gas
out of the tank.
Dealers were also warned not To
accept coupons which tho customers
have removed from their ration
books.

WRITE TO THE BOYS
IN THE SERVICE!

Tonight as he hits his bunk. some
boy in the service is wondering why
he isn't getting any mail-wond T.
ing why all his pals and friends back
home have apparently forgotten him.
You probably know that lad.
Yes, we know you are busy. You
are working long hours in some dc
Tense industry. You get dead tired
But think of these boys in the scrv-
ice. They are drilling under a not
sun. They are marching in the dust.
They are riding where there arc no
roads. They are cooped up in stuffy
tanks. They are far from home. Par
ents, brothers. sisters. friends arc
all left behind. They are lonesome.
What cheer and pep they would
get out of letter from you, News
about The gang. what the club has
been doing, something about the way
everybody is rallying behind the wal
effort, items of interest about poo
pie and things they know Instead Of
feeling that life was only dull drab
grind. they would get new fresh
outlook. The knowledge that the
folks back home were vitality inter-
ested in them would put new snap
in their stcps-would go long way
to ease the days duties.
Some clubs have already made an
organized effort to write to all the
boys in their service from their Sec
, ton or territory. They are having
writing bees. Certain evenings are
devoted TO sending letters and cards
to the boys in the army and the
navy. It's wonderful idea Do more
and more Of it. It's really fun and
