Men Reporting
For Army Duty
Must Be On Time

The attention of all registrants
being sent to the induction sta
ton this month, October, is CAL
led to the fact that inasmuch as
the number is small, the local
draft board is forwarding them
on the regular schedule bus and
these men are requested to report
on time, Mrs. L. J. Yelenjian,
clerk to the board, said.
The board does not wish to de-
lay the time of the bus departure,
nor can the men, who are late ex-
pect to be sent on later schedule.
Those, who live too far from West
Jefferson to get to town by $50
m, may come in the night be-
fore, report to the local board and
lodging accommodations will be
furnished, it was explained.
ut is hoped that every regis
trant will make a special effort to
be on time for the two calls this
month" one official said.

Ceiling Is Given
For Ammunition

Moving to close a gap for eva
sion of ceiling prices on cartridges
and shells for civilian use, the Of
flee of Price Administration has
announced revocation of the Is
per cent premium previously al
lowed for sales in less than box
lots.
The ceiling prices released are
as follows: For 12-gauge regular
load, $1.O7; 12-gauge high velocity,
$1.38; Is and 20-gauge regular,
"a cents; 16 and 20-gauge, high
velocity, $1.32.
In revoking the Is per cent pre-
MUM previously allowed for
Single" sales of civilian ammun-
ition, OPA said prices now must
be computed in proportion to the
full box price. When the premi-
UNI on less than box lot sales was
allowed, OPA said, such sales
constituted only a small portion
of total sales in the nation. How
ever, many retailers last year US
ed the provision to evade ceiling
prices, making all buyers pur-
chase their ammunition in broken
box lots.

RATION-FREE STOVES
AFTER OCTOBER Is

According to an announce
ment by OPA, wood and coal
stoves will no longer be ra-
toned after Sunday, Oct. Is.
! OPA announced recently
that wood and coal stoves will
shortly 60 off rationing. The
number of these stoves now on
hand, plus anticipated produc-
ton, is calculated to be enough
to meet demands after October
Is. Consequently, boards will
stop issuing certificates on that
date. Oil and gas stoves. still
in short supply, will remain
rationed.
This will be good news to
AShe county people as a large
majority of the homes of this
section are heated by coal and
wood stoves and many have
reported a greater need for
stoves than the number of
certificates previously issued.
