Once the wallboard has been in

mable brush cleaner that makes the
most crusty old brush look and act
like new. The reason: this cleaner
penetrates right down to the heel of
the brush. removing all the hard

the heel, forces the bristles apart
and reduces the workability of the

There is no set rule about how

in the brush bath, while hard, rigid
brushes may have to soak for hours.
Let the brushes remain in the
cleaner until the paint comes of
readily.
When the paint softens sufficiently,
take an old fork and comb out the
loose, gummy paint. Then wash the
brush with warm water until it runs
clear. Separate the bristles as you
run the water through. so that 1t

Squeeze out excess water and then
wrap the brush In paper to dry.
This cleaner can be used success
fully on any brush. whether 1t held
paint, varnish, shellac, casein, calci-
mine, coal tar or asphalt. 1t is
economical to use because the brush
can be put directly into the can of
cleaner, and it can be reused simply
by straining.

renew a surprising number OF small

According To Reports He Is

The soldier-lecturer, who gave
his name here as Ruebeck Cool

the suspicion of deserving the ar
my, went back to Uncle Sam on
Sunday, when Army officials
came for him. According to in
formation received here, the

stead of Cooleridge and he is of
Polish descent rather than Eng

Camp Davis for several weeks.
He had spent some time in
Wilkes, giving lectures before
coming to Ashe and his deception
was not discovered there, where
he was publicized for his loyalty
to the American flag.
After being confronted by Of
ficers here he was questioned by
Sgt. John Weaver, Jr., who dis
covered that he was without Of
ficial identification.
In his short-lived lecture per-
iod here, he claimed to be. Brit

Ration Coupon
Banking Will
Begin In Jan.

Washington - Ration bank
ing" a system to facilitate the
handling of ration coupons which
consumers turn in to dealers, will
be put in operation throughout
the country some time in Janu-
airy, Price Administrator Leon
Henderson announced this week.
The $4,000 commercial banks
which carry monetary checking
accounts will handle ration cou-
pons in similar checking accounts.
They will act as agents for OPA
and will be reimbursed by the
government for their expenses.
The system provides that a
grocer, for example, may deposit
with the bank all the sugar ra-
ton coupons he collects from his
customers. Then when the gro
Ger wants to replenish his sugar
stock, he can draw CHECK" on
his rationing account for the re-
quisite number of coupons and
deliver the check to his supplier.
The latter in turn would deposit
the check in his own rationing ac-
count to be cleared through the
banks the same as checks for
money.
The system will affect only re-
tailers, distributors, and large
users of rationed goods, such as
restaurants, who buy from whole
salers. 1t will not affect the
householder directly.

Care Should Be

Perishables Are Often Spoiled
Before They Are Deliver

One of the things that mothers

member is to exercise care in
sending perishables to that man

point out.
While there is no law that pro-

nited States, there are many
contingencies that may arise to
make what would be good eats
today not so good this time next
week and it may be next

Cormack, assistant to the Adju-
tant General, Headquarters, 4th

The Army postal officials do all
in their power to deliver every

OPA Finds Many
Gas Violations

Raleigh - The office of price
administration reported this
week that its Investigations re-
vealed gasoline rationing regula-
tons were being violated in about
70 per cent of filling stations in
vestigated and that in some cas-
es gasoline was being sold for as
much as IS cents a gallon.
Chief state OPA investigator,
James c. Greene, said many cas-
es reported apparently involved
minor infractions of the ration
ing regulations while others
point to fragrant violations that
indicate serious ''black market
operations.
The states increased investiga-
ton staff, Greene said, had been
directed to be on the lookout,
particularly for black market
dumping of the five-gallon "S''
coupons. These coupons, issued
for commercial vehicles, expire
on December l, when they will
be supplanted by the new ''T''
rations, which will be issued on
the basis of an ODT certificate of
war necessity. Reports that large
numbers of the IS" coupons may
be used illegally before they be-
come invalid were responsible, in
a large part, for the present in
tensive enforcement drive, Greene
declared.
