There is Sally Jones for in
stance. Her husband is in the
Army and she is, doing a good
job of bringing up their children
alone, and even managing to do
some voluntary war work. But
Sally isn't above patronizing
butcher who will let her have meat
without points whenever she has
company for dinner. She eases her
conscience by saying well the but
cher has the meat, and 1 might as
well have it as the next person"
ALL HAVE EXCUSES
Then there is Jim Brown, work.
ing in a war plant, who knows
how to get enough gas to spend
week-ends in his girls home town.
He thinks he is entitled to his
simply because he is doing an i'm
portant job. So an occasional tank
full of black-market gasoline
doesn't hurt his conscience.
Then there is Bill Smith, lead
ing citizen, who shows dinner
guests the freezing unit in his
basement that he has packed with
choice meats and enough butter
to supply a small grocery store.
He says rationing is plain non
sense-and he intends to have
whatever his money will buy He
eases his conscience by quoting
rumors about waste and misman-
agement.
And it so goes. Each "upstand-
ing citizen who doesn't hold to
the letter of the law in rationins
believes he is justified in the
cheating he does.
If he would just admit once and
for all that cheating on rationing
is unpatriotic and unlawful. and
that any excuse we make is sim
ply an attempt to hide that fact,
che only ration voilators would be
out-and-out crooks. Then black
markets wouldn't be much of
problem.
They're problem because
mice people, are making excuses

Heavy Demand Continues
To Cut Lead StockpiIe
BY the Associated Press,

BY tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Continued
shrinkage of the lead stockpile under
the impact of war demands was re-
ported this week in ferrous
metals markets.
The lead supply is figured at about
l25, 900 tons against a peak of 275.-
600 in the spring of 1943, industry
sources said, and may fall below the
100 ,00-ton mark by the end of the
year.
Consumption of lead, at the rate of
about 10000 tons a month of new
refined metal, is made up roughly
of 10000 tons domestic, Is 900 to 20
600 tons foreign, and stockpile with
drawals to make up the difference
In addition, a scrap supply of 10000
to 25,000 tons monthly is absorbed.
Zinc trade sources reported de-
mand for prompt shipments but said
that, nevertheless, some excess pro-
ably would be added to stockpiles
this month and in November.
Demand for copper suggested to
trade observers that buyers had been
overcautiouS earlier. It also was
noted that fabricators were forced to
reduce inventories around 1000 tons
to make up the difference between
the new copper content of 129, ,444 tons
used last month. and the 1885
tons of foreign and domestic refined
metal received from producers.

proves the project.
The North Carolina Department
of Conservation and Development
has accepted the restoration offer
of Mrs. j. E. Latham of Greensboro,
N. c., who has given 100000 toward
the project and has left another
$250,000 in her will to it. 1t is
estimated that between $4,000 and
81 100000 will be needed to restore
the palace and grounds which
originally cost $4,000. The State
must obtain the necessary land,
which fronts on Trent River and
includes a main thoroughfare and
blocks of residential and business
property.
The palace, of which only for
lorn wing now remains, was started
in 1767 and served as both the resi-
dence of the Crown Governor and
as the capitol building of the
province. It's construction, COM
pleted in ITO, contributed to the
economic distress of the colony and
was an issue IN patriotic uprisings
