C., July 17.— X NWNS) —Although the American people and American business rciached the biggest goal in his tory ih the Fifth War Loan drive a goal of $16,000,000,000 — the sale of E bonds to individuals has so far failed to reach its quota of $6,000,000,000.' Heavy corporate purchases rather than purchases by the general public were re sponsible for attaining the over all quota. Since one of the major functions of the war loans is to steer excess purchasing power in to the treasury, this let-down in public response is considered in flationary and indicates a lack of realization on the part of a siz able number of people of the im portance of purchasing more bonds. This danger is heightened by the increasing number of peo ple who are cashing in bonds a short time after they purchase them. Because of the importance of reaching the goal set in the F7fth Drive for the sale of E bonds, the treasury has asked us to point out that, although the major part of the drive ended on July 8,' the sale fbr personal savings contin ues as part of the drive until the end of July. Thus it is still pos sible to reach the goal if those who have not purchased extra bonds will do so before that date. The treasury also emphasizes that this is not a new extension of the drive. -The original schedule of the fifth drive included the provision that sales of bonds for personal savings up to the end of July would be counted in tjie fi nal total. of resorts is believed to to do with the record on bond sales and is known to be of real concern to several of the govern ment war agencies. Despite the campaigns to get peoplex to con fine their use of trains to neces sary travel, the amount of pleas ure travel is increasing at an alarming rate. In an effort to discourage this the Office of De fense Transportation recently is sued an order prohibiting use of any special trains, sections or cars for any purpose other than the movement of troops, prisoners or war workers. The Office of Price Administra tion is alarmed over the great use of automobiles to get to sum mer places, the chief fear being that this could only be made pos sible by an increase in the sale of black market gasoline or excessive leniency on the part of some ra tion boards in distributing B and C ration coupons. As a mild method of counteracting this trend, and also to answer com plaints o/ individuals who want to know how other people get sur plus gasoline, the OPA has in formed ration boards that they are not to keep ration allotments confidential and should give out information, in request, when peo-' pie check up on how many cou pons were given to their neigh bors. li ration boards wish to they are now permitted to publish the allotment of coupons to the drivers in their districts. It is probable, however, that i war needs for gasoline can be fully supplied and there turns ou to be a larger surplus than in previous months, motorists in general will soon be given more gasoline. This will depend somer-. what on the rate of production of synthetic rubber, since one of the reasons for drastic rationing of -Promoted To Grade Of Staff Sergeant Their Shell Damaged Plane ttUMBI McCORMICkTs. c.

State And County •f Ballots Ready For Democratic Primary The State and county ballots are ready for the primary on Tuesday, July 25th, and the fol lowing is a complete list of the State and county ticket as it ap pears on the ballots to be used then : Democratic Primary STATE AND COUNTY BALLOT July 25th, 1944 gasoline has been to conserve tires. But with synthetic rubber now being produced in quantities used - to import in a normal year equal to the amount of rubber we used to import in a normal year it is reasonable to assume that more tires will be produced each month from now on. If the Ger man phase of the war should end by fall there, is every reason to believe that the tire and gasoline shortage will both end at that time. But restrictions of some kind will undoubtedly have to continue to order to conserve the automobiles themselves until pro duction of cars can be resumed.
