the genuine beart-telt boeplulitr for
wblcb our ioutbM*n states are so
famous Is being duplicated in this
co’intry. The people here are doing
their best to help us to enjoy our-
aelTss as much as possible that the
homesickness will not be so acute.
To them Lshall always be gratefal and
my memories of Ekigland will always
be pleasant, come what may.
“On last Sunday night I was at
the home of friends when the Prime
Minister made his broadcast and his
grateful tribute paid the .United States
for tbe aid our country has given
Britain was echoed by aH who were
gathered about the radio.
“Yea, it has beel\ a privilege for
me to visit inis country, and I am
sure that through tbe friendships
made, between our servicemen and
women with -the British services and
civilians will be a solid and lasting
foundation for closer unity between
the two nations in future years.
"Now for the request. Having met
so . many people here they naturally
like to hear about America and my
home^ Coming from the Old South
seeins a most intriguing and romantic
place to them. Am afraid that my
descriptions do not do full justice to
Camden and South Carolina. If yon
can I would certainly appreciate you
sending me some Chamlyr of Com-
merce literature and pliamplets to
show them. Pictures of the places I
know and tell about would be a great
help. Will be looking forward to
hearing from you.
"Best wishes to you and tell Cam

long until we make that Victory

In a Joint statement, district offi
cers of the two federal agencies point-
ed out that despite war time scarci
ties, parts are now available to keep
essential vehicles in operation.
However, the two agencies pointed
out, many small truck operators, in-
eluding a large number of farmers,
have not yet learned how to go about
getting tbe needed parti.
Here are the rules listed by Alfred
W. Bohlen, ODT district manager in
Columbia, and Columbia WPB district
manager, Thomas K. Legare, for the
guidance of garagemen, parts dealers
and owners of essential vehicles:
1. Do not attempt to get a needed,
part if the old part can be repaired
or reconditioned by local or nearby,
facilities.
2. - If the old part cannot easily
reconditioned ~or~ repaired, contact all :
local and nearby parts distribution
Jobbers, dealers and used parts deal
ers.
3. If the part cannot be located,
then have a dealer, jobber, or parts
distributor fill out a \^B "Certificate
>for Emergency Repair Order’’ and for
ward it along with hia order to the
Manufacturer at the part. This WPB
order will receive a factory priority
over all stock orders and delivery will
usually be made within two weeks.
Sometimes, however, tbe needed part
has gone out of production or other
circumstances prevent tbe order being
immediately filled. In the event,
operators of commercial motor equip*
ment may then:
4. ' Appeal to the Maintenance
Specialist at the nearest District of
fice of the Defenae Transportation.
Through an elaborate system set up
for searching for critically needed
parts, the ODT can usually locate the
wanted part within several days. If
the district office Is unable to locate
the part. It will forward the request
to the ODT regional office, which will,
in cooperation with the War Produc
tion Board, take steps to expedite de
livery from the factory.
