For the past two years Thanksgiv ing has been pushed forward by presidential proclamation a week ahead of the long-celebrated last Thursday of the month, though .vome states refused to adhere to the change, North Carolina included.

That’s another reason why the government has ordered a cut in production. This means that substitute mate rials may soon have to be used in automobiles. The office of production management already has asked the manufacturers to practice the great est possible economy with certain critical materials such as aluhiinum, copper and nickel. In addition to the great ^use of these products which are becoming critical in defense production, th^ in dustry also uses enormous quanti ties of other essential materials, such as: 1,190,000 tons of gray iron; 595,- 000 long tons of crude rubber; 34,- There was no real reason for even^^^pp^^ forward to take their places making the change.

A short while! ago he was all excited over vice con-" ditions in the areas where govern ment camps or other defense activi ties are located. In speaking before the sheriffs of the state he said, “If necessary, I am going to call out three, four or five hundred men” of' the new Home Guard in order to , ... I the employe is a man or woman.

The Upited States is jopt. at war (yet), but it is engaged upo^ a de fense effort of tremendous propor tions. And it’s notable to find that women are playing an important part in the program, both at home and abroad."

This same Mr. Maybank, as mayor | Charleston, appeared before the^ By GEE McGee NOBODY'S BUSINESS legislature on April 5, 1933, in a hearing pertaining to legalizing thej sale of beer in the state. Attacking the bill, fie said: , “ii the beer bill passe& Chaf- leston will drink and not pay. The United States government can’t stop it and I can tell you that the police departmeht has no idea of stopping it.” As mayor, he took an open, defiant attitude toward the eilforcemen^ of •the measure if passed when he said tlut, regardless of what law was enacted. Charleston would have its own way and that their determina tion in toe matter could not even be stopped by the United States army. A legislative committee report re^ vealed the existence in Charleston of organized and recognized forms of vice, lotteries, gambling devices and wid^read sale of illegal liquors.

AUTOMOBILES—Boom Never in toe history of the auto mobile business has there been such a’‘demand for cars as there is today. Big Jumps in employment and in creases in wages, combined with threats of the government to make it more difficult to buy automobiles in the future, have sent hundreds of thousands of people rushing to their automobile dealers to place orders. By the end of July the number of new cars turned out in a 12-months period is expected to eqqal toe rec ord production of 5,358,420 in 1920—‘ and many dealers still are weeks be hind in getting deliveries on orders already placed. On toe road today there are about 27,000,000 registered cars — which is almost 4,000,000 more than the total registration in 1929. Of these, the automobile population figures show that there are over a million of seven different makes of cars. There are 6,686,385 registered Fords, 6,460,474 Chevrolets, 2,930,450 Ply mouths, 1,500,118 Dodges, 1,422,060 Buicks, 1,239,587 Pontiacs and 1,074,270 Olds- mboiles. Along with the huge demand for new automobiles, which would ordi narily tax manufacturing facilities to the limit, the automobile manufac turers have been called upon to pro duce $2,000,000,000 wmto of defense equipment. Public demand for new cars, plus government demand for defense pro duction, has again centered national attention on toe automobile industry — the 30-year old giant which al ready has amazed toe world wito its demonstration of mass production ef ficiency and is now gearing itself to be able to say, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” USED CARS—Popnlarlty It looks like a big year for used car business. If heavy taxes on automobile pur chases are put through, if installment buying is curbed and ii scarcity de velops, purchasers will more and mdre qb their buy^ at toe used car mkzkbts. At prmnt, it is Cs^ated that almost haK of toe cars on toe roi^ were purchase second hgnd. ^ iJeaters say toey have to dispose of three u^ cars for eaCh new car they seU. Before th^ get their i«ofit out of a new car they must ordhuud- ly sell a car traded in by toe original purchaser, sell a second car traded in by purchaser of toe first used car and then dispose of a third used car to the junk yard.
