PERMANENT PROGRAM
FOR GAS RATIONING
Continued from Page y

lar coupon-book system starting
next month, Joel Dean, OPA fuel
rationing administrator, said this
week.
Under the present temporary
program, nonessential drivers are
allowed about three gallons week.
ly.
Dean told reporters the addi-
tional ration would be permitted
because of tighter controls made
possible under the new plan.
Considerably fewer "B" coupons
will be issued, Dean explained,
since motorists will be required
to prove need for Supplemental
allowances"
They must show to the salts
faction of local rationing boards
that use of their cars is required
in businesses, that they have
formed transportation pools" of
not less than four persons, or that
no other means of transportation
IS available to get them to and
from work.
The east coast plan, expected
to serve as model if nation wide
rationing is instituted, is based
on an allowance of 1880 miles of
driving year for the average
'nonessential' motorist.
Basic "A" books will be issued
to every passenger-car driver who
registers. These will contain 48
coupons, each good for four GAL
Ions of gasoline.
The "B" books, containing Is
coupons, will be issued on evil
dence of need and will be used in
addition to the basic "A" book.
Each 'B" book, however, will be
dated, depending upon the. local
- ton boards estimate of the ap-
plicant's gasoline requirements.
A third CO., book, containing
90 coupons, likewise will be "tail-
ored" to fit absolute requirements.
On the basis of the motorists
proved mileage requirements, the
local board will tear out coupons
If necessary to cut the CO.. book
down to the drivers needs.
All commercial vehicles, in
Guiding trucks, taxicabs, buses
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT auto
mobiles, will receive IS" books
Likewise tailored" to fit.
All &C" books will be reviewed
and reissued every three months;
IS" books will be reviewed and
reissued every four months.

Now Allies Help Us

The u. S. A. has put more materials
and finished products into the United Ma
tons pool than any other of the democrat
cies, because we have had more to give
We've sent and are sending vast quanti-
ties of weapons and supplies to our allies
in the form of lend-lease shipments.
Now, however, the adventure in CO.
operation is working both ways-we're
getting help from these allies as well as
giving it. Lend-Lease Administrator Ed
ward R. Stettinius, Jr., the other day dis
closed that the British are feeding our
troops in Northern Ireland, furnishing
them with supplies and building their
camps and that Great Britain also has
turned over military equipment to us, in
Guiding a complete gun factory.
Russia has sent us valuable data on
building tanks and technical experts on
explosives Australia is servicing our fore
es in the Far East American warships are
being repaired in British ports just as Bri-
fish warships are repaired in American
shipyards, and American airplanes are sup
piled at Australia airdromes. It's one for
all and all for one in the fight to lick the
Axis.

War Outlook Brigghtens

On practically all fronts, and especially
in the Pacific the outlook for Allied Vic
tory is considerably brighter as we enter
the second half of our first year of the
global war.
During the past week, our own Pacif-
ic fleet, which was playing watch-and-
wait game, has won "Momentous victory
over the Japs near the Midway Island and
also in large area of water extending
from Hawaii to the Aleutian Islands. Dur
ing the past two weeks the English bomb
ers have been pouring out death and de-
structioi1 on German industrial towns and
on the German fortified areas of France,
preparatory to what appears to be sum-
mer invasion. On the Russian front, the
Reds have been holding and in many cases,
licking the Nazis. And the defenses in
Australia have been greatly improved.
Everywhere, except in China and in the
Atlantic ovean where Nazi subs still take
heavy toll of merchant shipping, the AL
LIES ARE NOW WINNING.

AS we enter the second half of the
first year at war; it is highly gratifying
that the tide seems to be turning little in
our favor, but as yet, we should not be-
come too optimistic because we certainly
cannot see over the crest now.
PROFESSIONALLY, Japan has won the
first rounds in sweeping fashion and in
record time. They have taken the South
west Pacific, taken our sources of rubber,
tin and other vital materials and they are
knocking at the threshold of India and
Australia They have cut off our supply
line to China and are now attempting to
knock out this large nation as soon as pos
s;ble and to join hands with Germany
through India.
In less than three years time, Hitler
has dominated Europe, it's resources, in
dustries and most of its manpower. He
stands today near the entrance to Turkey
and the Nile Valley and to India. But
strong Russian army has stopped him and
so far this spring and summer, is holding
him with our aid. To give Russia relief,
the Allies are now attacking Germany on
the western front and may that attack be
increased!
Along with this visible war, the i'm
portant invisible war is being waged along
the assembly lines in America, where we
are turning out, for our own armies, for
those of England, Russia and China, the
greatest supplies of war materials ever
produced and the success of this huge pro-
duction program will undoubtedly deter
mine the course of the Victory of tomor-
row.

According to information released thus
far, it is obvious that the Japs set out to
do mans job in taking Midway and per-
haps the Pearl Harbor, our major out
posts in the Pacific defending the main
land
It is obvious that our military authori-
ties had anticipated such an assault some
time ago and that they were prepared and
ready for it. They met the enemy several
hundred miles before they reached Mid
way, in fact, they did not and have not
reached Midway yet.
It is obvious too, that the smashing de-
feat was due to our having superiority in
the air at this point. In all naval, as we'll
as land operations in today's modern war
fare, there seems to be no doubt but what
aerial supremacy is essential for victory.
e It is rather obvious, too, that our mill
tary authorities were wise in building up
our outpost defenses instead of trying to
defend the Philippines, Singapore, and the
Burma road. Of course they tried, but not
on large scale.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1942-06-11

With the exception of the Raj and
few Russian thrusts, the victories are, of
course, defensive But the Victory in the
Pacific at Midway has been smashing and
as this editorial is being written, it appears
as though nearly half of the japanese
fleet has been seriously damaged or put
out of action.
This triumph may, prove to be the
turning point in the Pacific war. Reports
released to date state that one Jap battle
ship has been sunk, five others damaged,
five aircraft carriers sunk, six damaged;
nineteen cruisers sunk and four damaged.
Prior to the start of the war, the Jap
anese were reported to have ten battle
Ships eight aircraft carriers, and forty
six cruisers. Experts now regard those
figures as being considerably short of the
enemy's pre-war strength and they have
no doubt built number of other ships
since the beginning of the war.
These facts are known, however, that
the Japs suffered a smashing defeat be-
fore they reached their objective, Midway
Island, and had to retreat under heavy
blows from American bombers and Ma
val operations; that the United States Gan
outbuild Japan in ship production within
the same space of time, and that American
losses in the Pacific battle were light in
comparison to those suffered by the enc
my.

Open Forum
COLUMN
FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE
Grassy Creek, N. G.
June 8, 1912

June o, 1S4Z
Dear Editor:
I want to take advantage OF
your open forum columns to say
something about the important
work of the home demonstration
agent in Ashe county.
To me, home demonstration
work is one of the best things
know for homemakers. There
has never been a time in the his
tory of our country, when women
are needed so much to unite in
one great effort, working togeth-
er, to produce more food, have
better health, and keep the mo-
rale of our nation built up, as now
where there are so many under
nourished children in Ashe coun-
ty.
More people need to wake up
and find out what home demon
stration work really means. In
the few months we have been Or
ganized, we club members have
found out what we have been
missing, and just how badly we
were in need of the help of a
home agent.
At our district meeting, at
Crossnore, Ashe county had as
good a report as any, even tho
we are the ninety-fifth county to
have a home agent.
We are indeed fortunate to Sc
cure the service of such a we'll
trained, efficient lady as Mrs.
Boney. To lose her would be a
serious handicap to Ashe county
women.
While we have an outstanding
home demonstration agent, we
continue our plea for our county
commissioners to make necessary
appropriations to keep her.
The best preparation for the
future is the present, we'll seen to.
Mrs. J. G.. Pierce
Co. Council Pres.

It was stated that in the future,
registration for canning sugar
would be held in each of the cen

Dates for the second period for
application have not been receiv-
