Sugar Stamps For
Canning Now Valid

Beginning Monday, May "a,
stamps No. Is and 16 in Ration
Book No. 1sSbecome good for five
pounds of sugar each for home can
ming.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton abandoned a previously an
nounced program under which
home Gamers would have applied
to local ration boards for sugar all
lotments.
OPA explained that families re-
quiring more than 10 pounds Of
sugar per person for home canning
may apply 70 local ration boards
for additional allowances.
The sugar-for-canning provision
does not interfere with the regular
sugar rationing program, OPA said.
A spokesman pointed out that
stamp No. 13 would become valid
June ! to Aug. Is for five pounds.
This change in plans for home
canning sugar is expected to relieve
ration boards of the need for hand
ling thousands of applications for
sugar for home canning, and at the
same time make it easier for con-
sumers to obtain the canning sugar
they need.

claimed June IA as Flag Day and
asked the people to fly the Stars and
Stripes this year along with the
flags of the United Nations wher-

Fire Destroys
Old Colonial
Homestead

Friends of Miss Sarah Hindman
and brother, John A. Hindman, sym
pathize with them In the loss of
their beautiful old Colonial home,
near Colora, early Friday morning.
The house was struck by lightning
during the heavy storm that was
raging, and was practically destroy
ed before the firemen could reach
the scene and give aid.
The Rising Sun flremen were call
ed about three o'clock In the morn
ing, and responded quickly, taking
two engines, but the dwelling was
doomed, due to the delay In getting
the alarm.
Mr.. Hindman and his sister were
aroused by the smell of smoke, and
on investigating discovered the fire
about the telephone. He attempted
to extinguish the blaze, but failed,
and as the telephone had been put
out of commission, he ran through
the rain, in his bare feet, to the
home of G. T. Dare, a half-mile
distant. The phone at that place had
also been put out of commission and
by the time another phone was
reached and aid summoned, the fire
had spread to such an extent that 1t
was impossible to save the dwelling
which was totally destroyed, togeth-
er with all contents, including house,
hold effects, clothing, etc.
There was a partial insurance ON
the dwelling and furniture. The loss
will reach fully $1,000.

SUNDAY NEXT
MEMORIAL DAY

Sunday next, May 80, is Memorial
Day, originally set aside for the dec
Grafton of soldiers graves. 1t has
gradually become the beautiful and
sacred custom of placing floral trib-
utes on the graves Of all those loved
ones who have passed on.
This beautiful setting aside of one
day in the year for the decoration of
soldiers graves is said to have orig
mated in Petersburg, Va, where
Memorial Day was observed for the
first time on June 8, 1866, In honor
of Confederates who were killed In
battle there just one year before. In
1859 the wife of General John A.
Logan, then Commander Of the G..
A. r., happened to be in Petersburg
on its Memorial Day, and was so i'm
pressed with the tributes of flowers
and flags with which the graves were
decorated that she suggested to the
general that this be made national
custom. General Logan accordingly
issued an order to the G.. A. r. that
every pOSt VI tAC dAu Army 6hO0k0
hold suitable exercises and decorate
the graves of their dead with flow
ers," on May 30th of each year
The idea spread throughout the
South, also, and Confederate Mem
orial Day is observed in various
states on the following dates: April
26 in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi
and Florida; May 10 in North and
South Carolina; the second Friday in
May in Tennessee, and June 3 In
louisiana. In the South the national
Memorial Day of May 80 is more
generally observed since the World
War, the exercises being conducted
by the American Legion
At the national cemetery of Airing
ton, near Washington, the grave of
Americas Unknown Soldier is decor
ated with special ceremonies, usually
participated in by the Presidentsa and
other high officials, on Memorial Day.
1t is highly fitting that all citizens
should join in the observance of this
most beautiful and sacred of our
national holidays.

No Restrictions
In A B C. Gas
Coupons Likely

No cancellation nor reduction In
value of A, B, G, gasoline rations
are contemplated just now but
rigorous enforcement OF the pleasure
driving ban Is promised by OPA
while some curtailment of allot-
ments for commercial vehicles IL
being discussed.
OPA rejected proposal OF the
Agriculture Department that A, B.
and c books be cancelled tempo
rarily along part of the Atlantic
seaboard. The Departments recon-
mendation followed reports that
many farm tractors and other ma
chinery used in food production were
standing idle due to lack of fuel.
The farm situation was particularly
alarming In the northeastern states,
the department said.
OPA claimed that such cancella-
ton would seriously hamper war
workers and other essential civil
ians, and do more damage than q
cut in the rations allotted taxis,
trucks and other commercial We
hicles.
OPA officials frankly were pessi-
mistic as to the efficacy of a pleasure
driving ban at this time with warm
summer weather increasing the
temptation Of motorists to use their
automobiles. Savings may be con-
siderably less than last winter when
the device first was instituted.
OPA and ODT officials were un-
derstood to be discussing series OF
proposals, among, them being the
following:
1. A cut in the FIVE gallon value
of T coupons.
2. A system Of priorities to pro-
vide gasoline for the most essential
commercial vehicles.
8. A "selective' cut in T coupons,
designed to hit non..essential vehicles
the hardest.
