by Mr.. and Mrs. Edd Beverly Of

released as prisoner of war in
Germany and is on his way home.
He had been given up as dead
by relatives, due to nothing be-

date.
Some eighty thousand Ameri-

released by the Russians and it
is conjectured that these men
were held for bargaining reasons
until certain questions between
the Allies had been settled--to
the satisfaction of the Russians.

Ration Board
Explains Sugar
Situation

Due to the general shortage OF
sugar and misunderstanding on
the part of the public, the local
OPA office makes the following
statement:
The Truth About Your
Canning Sugar
OPA is a distributing agency
only. The needs Of the armed
forces and government needs are
first deducted and OPA is given
the amount of sugar available
for civilian needs and OPA makes
the allotment serve as many PEG
pie as possible.
After the canning season had
started and part Of the stamps
mailed out OPA's allotment was
cut twice. The net result was
that part OF the the consumers
of this county received Is pounds
per person and part 5 pounds.
At the present all Clintwood's
quota is exhausted, in fact, Clint
wood board has issued its
quota due to its having granted
a large number of persons l5
pounds each before the two cuts
were made. The Board granted
as much as it could to each ap-
plicant before the cuts came.
Applications were taken in al
phabetical order, that is the fam
lilies whose names began with "A
came first and the BIS next, and
so on.
Operating under instructions
from the Roanoke office, it was
necessary for the Cintwood board
to make the changes. The Board
is now without coupons to issue
any more sugar. That means I'M
less the Board can be helped by
public spirited citizens, a large
number of persons in this coun-
ty can get NO sugar to can with.
A response on your part to the
appeal of the Board will enable
those unfortunate persons to re-
ceive some sugar that under pres
ent conditions can expect none.
The Board has asked this paper
to publish the following appeal:
Due to conditions entirely be-
yOnd tine COnGrOl OF your lOcai
rationing board, it has twice been
necessary to cut the sugar alOt-
ments for canning sugar to ap-
plicantS of Dickinson County.
We now have no more sugar cOu

to every one who has received

|WPB Advisers Urge
Government 10 Spur
Newsprint Output
By the Associated Press.

by the AsSoclateo tfeSe.
The War Production Boards
Newspaper Industry Advisory Com
mittee has recommended Increased
governmental efforts" to spur news
print production In this country.
The recommendation, made public
yesterday by WPB, was drafted by
. special subcommittee.
IN the last 20 years, the report
said, production OF newsprint In the
United States has fallen OF 56 per
cent and mill production capacity
more than so per cent.
American mills now turn out only
II per cent of the newsprint used
here. Production this year Is esti-
mated at $4,000 tons. This COM
pares with 1854, 900 tons in 1926. In
1926 there were 80 mills with ca
pacity of 1,73s, 900 tons. The num-
ber of mills has dropped to II with
q capacity Of 9Sl 900 tons.
Causes of Decline.
The report said the gradual de-
cline in the number OF domestic
mills resulted from competition Of
foreign mills, imports from Europe
at lower prices, and the inability of
many United States mills to earn a
return on investments comparable
with profits In other fields.

troll, the report continued. wartime
