Initial plans in Setting up the ma

ORDER
STOPS SALE OF
ALL new CARS
No Sales Being aEade as Dealers
Here Await Further Word
On Matter
Stocks of New Cars i'm Bluffton
ShOwr0Oms is Small at
This Season

Sales of new automobiles and trucks
are at a standstill in Bluffton as eff
feet of nationwide federal order
which has frozen" all such stocks of
motor vehicles until January Is.
Although no official word has been
received as yet by local automobile
dealers, sales have been discontinued
on the basis of newspaper reports and
radio announcements which stated
that sale, delivery or lease of all new
cars and light trucks is banned for
the present.
Clamping down of the federal order
announced last Friday found Bluffton
automobile dealers with only a few
new cars on their floors.
Await Further Plan
What plan will be announced for
distribution of stocks of new motor
vehicles after January Is, when the
present federal order expires was the
subject of much speculation the first
of the week.
1t is expected, however, that a ra-
tioning plan similar to that govern
ing the sale of new tires will be an
nounced.
Assuming that new cars probably
will be unobtainable by the average
motorist, local dealers are planning to
exploit their repair service and some
are considering the addition of sup
Elementary Zines of merchandise.
Prospect Good For Repair Lines
Plenty of repair parts will continue
to be made available for all automo-
biles in use, according to federal plans
and prospects for repair business is
said to be the best within history.
Effects of the governments ban on
automobile dealers is seen in the an
nouncement that during 1941 Allen
county automobile sales agencies de-
livered 2,2e8 new cars and 204 trucks.
Ban on sales of new cars will have
an important effect on local govern
ment subdivisions which obtain con-
siderable portion of their income from
sales tax receipts. Sales tax on new
automobiles paid by the purchaser has
in the past constituted one of the ma
jor sources of sales tax revenue.
Much of the funds received for sup
port of schools from the state school
foundation fund comes from sales tax,
With one of the principal sources OF
this tax dried up by the ban or
automobile sales, school authorities
have already expressed concern as te
financial reprecussions which may be
involved.

Over 600 Transients Had Nights
Lodging At Jail Here In Past Year
Figure 200 Under that of Last
Year is Indication of
Prosperity
Total of III in March was
Largest Number in Any
One Month

Concrete evidence that the general
war boom prosperity of the country
has affected even the knights of the
road was shown in the 25 per cent
reduction in the number of transients
locked up in the Biuffton jail over
night during the past as compared
with the totals for 1910, according to
figures released the first of the week
by Marshal Lee Coon.
During 1941 total of GA trans
tents stopped at the lookup for over
night lodging, doing their cooking on
the jail stove and sleeping on the
hard floor of the building. The fig
ure for 1910 showed better than 800
seeking the overnight Service" at
the local Jail.
SLEEP ON FLOOR
Occasionally the knights" of the
road'c AIRY their bedding with them,
but more often they sleep on the
floor with only a few scattered
newspapers between them and the
boards. Some use Jumps of coal for
their pillows and the group would
appear to be anything but comfort
able when they bed down for the
night.
On some occasions all of them will
pool their foodstuffs and put them
on one table eating picnic style.
Other times they eat separately.
Hoboes, as distinguished from
tramps, seek work in the seasonal
occupations in different parts of the
country. With many new jobs Great
ed by national defense activities it is
known that many formerly classified
as hoboes secured positions as un-
skilled workers in the defense indus
tries. Tramps, however, refuse to
engage in any type of work.
MARCH PEAK MONTH
March of last year was the peak
month for the overnight callers.
During the month 1T took advant-
age of the jail's shelter to top the
figures of SO and 102 in January and
February respectively. 1t is believed
that with winter weather breaking
up they drift north during the two
early spring months.
Complete summary of the year fol-
lows: January, 90; February, 1922;
March, 1T; April, 85; May, I'll;

During the hot months of the
summer most of them sleep outside,

the low figures of July and August,

farm IMPLEMENTS
WILL BE REPAIRED
TO AID WAR EFFORT
Increase of 5OTo In Repair
Parts to Improve Existing
Equipment
Sharp CurtaiIment in Produc-
ton of New Farm
Machinery

Repair of existing farm equipment
rather than replacement of it with
new machinery will be the rule this
year for farmers of the Bluffton dis
trict.
This is the consequence of the re-
cent regulation of the OPM which
ordered drastic curtailment in the
production of new farm machinery
and the stepping up of production of
repair parts.
The same farm machinery that was
used this year to produce one of the
largest crops on record must be count.
ed on in 1912 to reach even higher
production goals which have been sci
for the nations farms in their partici.
patton in the defense and war effort
Save Scarce Metals
The purpose of the new ruling by
the OPM is to save scarce metals
while giving assurance to the farm
ers that they will be able to keep
presently owned equipment in good
state of repair.
Production quotas are being placec
on every type of equipment from
windmills to wheelbarrows. Only SO
per cent of the materials available to
the industry in 1941 will be available
in 1914. About per cent more mater
ial will be made available to repair
to parts manufacturers.
Local implement dealers have been
assisting the manufacturers in deter.
mining the quantity and kind of re-
pair parts most in demand. Report
ing the matter in sufficient time is of
paramount importance, it was stated.
Repair Work
With the recent OPM ruling Bluff
ton district farmers may encounter
difficulties in obtaining new equip
ment but repair work should be COM
paratively easy to get under way pro-
viding that reports are made in time.
In commenting on the program as
related to Allen County, Clair A. Pat
terson, chairman of the county agri-
cultural defense board said, Every
usable farm machine must be put in
shape or kept in top condition if our
farmers are to do their part in the
1912 Farm Defense Program"
''In addition to the scarcity of new
equipment" Patterson said, farmers
will find the available farm labor linn
tied in 1912. This labor shortage
makes the role of the present farm
machinery even more important"
