Storing Foods Properly
Important for Conservation
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

WHERE AND how you store
your perishable foods is a most
important problem TO consider
these days. Much unnecessary
waste can be brought about
through the method in which
you take care of your foods
after the marketing is done.
Here are some suggestions TO
take into consideration when it
comes to unpacking your morn
ing purchases.
Breads, rolls, doughnuts and
cake should be kept in a cool,
dry place, carefully wrapped or
in tightly covered containers. In
this way they can be kept fresh
for several days.
Milk can be kept for more
than few days with proper re-
frigeration. Canned milk needs
merely TO be stored on the pan
try shelf. Once it is opened.
however, it too, must be kept at
a low temperature.

Motorists Urged By OPA
To Take Care OF All Tires

The truck tire shortage becomes
more critical daily, OPA officials
point out and truck tire inven-
tories are extremely low. Today,
many essential truck operators
have certificates but are unable
to find tires, it was explained.
With the armed forces taking
a large percentage of the entire
production of truck tires, parti-
cularly in the larger sizes, there
is no hope of relief in the near
future.
Truck tires in the hands of op-
orators today must not be abus-
ed'', OPA officials said. 'They
must be removed in time to be
recapped before the cord body is
damaged. Loads and speeds must
be reduced. # the local office
finds that tires have been DELHI
erately worn beyond the point of
recapping, requirements will be
denied as this is tire abuse, it

Worth w. Davis
Found Dead And
Car Demolished
Had Been Missing For Several
Days; Body Discovered
Last Friday

The mystery of the wherea-
bouts of Worth w. Davis, 80,
well-known Ashe county man,
missing for several days, was
solved last Friday morning, when
his body and the wreckage of his
car were discovered by wood
cutters, below the highway near
Jumping Off" place on the
Glendale Springs-North Wilkes
boro highway, just across the
Ashe county line.
Coroner I. NJ Myers, of Wilkes
county, who made an investiga-
ton, ruled that the death was ac-
cidental. The body of Davis was
around $50 feet below the high
way and examination revealed
that the severe injuries he had
sustained about the head proba-
bly, resulted in his instant death.
The motor of the car had become
diSlOdged and was located not
far from the victim. What was
left of the cars body was some
distance below.
Reports differed, but accord
ing to reliable resources received
here, Davis was last seen on Fri
day, November 10, late in the af-
ternoon in tn e vicinity of
Church's store, a few miles from
the site Of the accident. It was
not until a week later that his
body was discovered.
Davis had been engaged in va
rious business enterprises here,
but at the time of his death he
was travelling for a tobacco COM
pany. Cigarettes and other sup
plies were scattered in the path
of the wreck.

accompanied her husband to Cal

Text of the broadcast:
"Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Wins
ton Churchill had a lengthy con-
ference in Cairo and Gen. Chang

que, edited at the end of the con-

conference all communications
between Cairo and the rest of the

OPA To Allow More Meat;
California Grapes Released

Washington - Price Admins
traitor Chester BoWles disclosed
Tuesday night that meat ration
point costs will be reduced to al
low civilians 80 per cent more
meat in December but butter ra-
ton values will be left unchanged
at 16 points a pound.
While announcing that most
beef cuts would be reduced two
or three points, he warned that
meat supplies generally will be
smaller next Spring and in an
ticipation the Office of Price Ad-
ministration may boost ration
points in January and February.
The December reductions are in
line with OPA's previously de-
clared intention to liberalize ra-
ton allowances for the Christmas
period. Complete point charts for
meats and processed foods will be
released later this week.

Heavy Impact Is
Felt Here Tues.

The Skyland Post received
dozens of calls yesterday and
made equally as many, inquiring
as to the origin of the loud noise
and the heavy impact, which fol-
lowed, Tuesday evening.
While others were heard dur
ing the earlier part of the night,
the loudest came shortly after
ten o'clock. Following a loud
dull boom sound, windows ratified
and several buildings shook.
Officers who made inveStiga-
tons, had nothing to report late
yesterday, except that it was
heard over a wide area and sug-
gested that it may have been a
meteor.
There were several surmises.
Due to the number of large aero
planes passing this way, it was
first thought it might be a plane
which had fallen. But nothing of
this nature was discovered. 9th
ers suggested that it might be
some youths with dynamite.

your previous applications will be
checked. This will reveal wheth-
er or not the operator is taking
care of his tires by recapping.
This ratio should not be any less
than one recap to every new
tire. The average on this in the
Charlotte district, under which
the local board serves, is one
new tire to 1.25 recaps," Ralph
Campbell, clerk, said.
At the present the demand for
truck tires exceeds production
by 100000 Tres per month. Thus
truck operators Of this county
can readily understand why all
applications will be carefully
screened and only the most es-
sential needs given consideration,
it was explained.
Recently we have had many
cases of tire abuse. This covers
