Buying 'Case' Goods
In considering the purchase of
case goods (dressers, chests, sideboards,
bookcases, desks, etc.) tables
and chairs, if possible test the
weight. The greater the density of
the wood, the better. For example,
you can buy a chest of thin, soft,
porous wood that weighs 40 pounds;
you can buy a good hardwood chest
in the same size and it will weigh
around 75 pounds. How the wood
is dried makes a difference, too.
Always ask-the salesman if it is kiln
dried. This is wood that has been
- air -dried,- then- actually -dried in an
oven so that the moisture content
has been reduced to 5 per cent.
Wood not so dried is likely to warp,
and in warping will split, throw
drawers out of line, come unglued
and give poor service in general.

Washington, April 24. ? Various
reports have com? from Washington 1
' concerning drastic rationing of gasoline
in the future. The first report
was that not over 10 gallons per month
would be allowed to any Individual
for private use. Secretary Ickes stated
today, though, that there is no immediate
probability that rationing
would cut the supply allowed to any
individual to lqBB than 25 gallons per
month. Yet, even a 25 gallon allowance
to an individual would bring
about great discomfort to our people.
The United States gasoline situation
is a peculiar one. It all boils
down to a problem of y-ansportation.
The eastern seaboard was principally
supplied by tankers. We have
plenty of gas and oil and the refineries
in the United States are turning
out more of this product than ever
before, but the shortage of tankers
for transporting the gas is acute. Now
many of these tankers have been con.
verted to carrying oil to our forces
in Australia and other points In connection
with the war effort. On top
of that, many of our tankers on the
coast trade have been sunk by German
submarines. Railroad tank cars
have been used recently to considerable
extent but the railway costs are
much higher than tanker costs, whicfc
has made eastern gasoline go up in
price. Ninety-five pel4 cent of the petroleum
and petroleum products moved
to the east coast, including the
Southeastern states, has been heretofore
delivered by tankers.
Plans are now being formulated to
increase pipe line capacity. The present
pipe line from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, to Bremen, Georgia, has
a 12-inch diameter with a maximum
capacity of 60,000 barrels daily; und
a 10-inch diameter from Bremen,
Georgia, to Greensboro, North Carolina,
with a daily capacity
42,000 barrel^. Operation of
has been limited by the availability
of pumping equipment, which la difficult
to obtain at the present time.
Right now on the wheels of privately
owned cars and trucks is the
largest reserve supply of rubber
America ever had ? 1,100,000 Wns.
With pleasure driving cut to a minimum,
this rubber, Tf used only for
business and necessary private driving.
should last for five years, according
to the rubber men. If the war
has not been won before that time,
the experts think the industry should
be producing enough new synthetic
and reclaimed old rubber to, allow
some replacements.
No one knows better than these experts
of the world's rubber capital
how utterly dependent upon rubber
is the American way of life. Our kind
of civilization rolls along the road
of progress upon wheels of rubber.
Unlike automobile industry which
has ripped out its car-making machinery
to go to munitions production
which has temporarily forgotten
John Q. Public, Mr. Horace Millhone,
spokesman for Firestone, stales that
the rubber industry is still in the tire
business and still interested in the
private car owner,
"We are trying" said Millhone, "to
keep 600 dealers in business. We are
\ teaching them new ways to make old
tires last longer and we are hoping,
as time goes on, to perfect better and
longer-lasting patching methods. Perhaps,
finally, we can do retreading
and re-capping for private owners.
"A battleship requires as much rubber
as 17,000 tires. A medium tank
requires as much rubber as 124 tires.
In addition, guns, trucks and all other
Army vehicles require enormous amounts
of rubber ? far exceeding
that of ordinary tires.
"Car owners should not expect any
relief of any kind ? from synthetic
or any other rubber source. If relief
comes, it will be doubly welcome.
"But until it can be assured, it is
the duty of every American to act on
the assumption that his present tires
must last him for the duration."
A War Manpower Commission within
the offices for Emergency Management,
with Federal Security Adm
mlnlstrator Paul V. McNutt M chairman,
was created by executive order
i of President Roosevelt April 18.
The new agency takes over the
; labor supply and training functions
! of the War Production Board's Labor
Division, which, according to a White
i House announcement ? will be rer
organised Into a labor production division
reporting to WPB chairman
I, Nelson. This divisidn, as well as various
other agenciep Including the
|i Selective Service System, the Civil
Service Commission, the office of Defense
Transportation, and the Department
of Agriculture, are made subject
within certain limits to the policies
and directives of the War Manpower
OemmMnftsn.

City Councilman In
Visit To Ball Park
Clybum Smith, chairman of the
committee on city property made ^ <!
/twit of inspection to tho buseball i
park and surrounding area lust week
ind declared that It was the intent.on
uf his committee and the city to keep
the baseball plant in good shape
throughout the summer, fall and
eurly winter, in order that it will bo
ready for tho Toronto International
league teum when that outfit returns
to Camden next March for spring
training.
Alderman 8mlth talked with coacli
Lindsay Pierce of the high school
baseball team, then playing the Bishopvllle
team, and suggested that the
members of the baseball squad be asked
to refrain from damftglrfk the club
house property, a problem which
was a matter of much concern tho
past two years.
The aldermah stated that he was
planning to have the area occupied
by a carnival show for several weeks,
gone over "and all debris removed
so that auto parking in the area for
the ball games or football games
would not have tires cut on gluss
or metal.
This area last Friday was littered
with old tins and broken glass left
by the carnival outfit which had been
there for some time this spring.
