OUAinr RECAPPING
By The Makers Of “Cowart Caps
99
Every tire is an individual job when it conies to re
capping, and requires specialized care and skill.
That’s why it will pay you to have your recapping
done by COWART. Safe recapping takes time and
unusual care every step of the way. And while two
recapped tires may look the same, as far as reliable
performance goes, they may be as different as night
and day. Don’t guess! Don’t gamble! Play safe
and have your recapping done by experts.

The Church Speaks
By M. E. BOOZER
dJ
“What doth the Lord require of
thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with
Thy God?” Micah 6: 8.
All down through the history of
religion one of the crucial ques
tions has been whether or not the
forms of religion would be substi
tuted for religion. Our ceremo
nies, rites, and forms of worship,
have often been the very things
that have shut us off from the
face of the eternal God. have
worshipped Him with our lips
while our hearts have been far
from Him. That is the predica
ment'in which the people to whom
Micah was talking found them
selves.
However, there is one thing we
may get well established in our
thinking: God is a moral God,
and those who worship Him must
be a moral people. Religion is not
something whereby one may be
able to shun the responsibility of
his deeds; but religion is some
thing that adds quality to one’s
soul. It gives one moral fibre to
withstand the temptations and
trials of life. The man who goes
into the church and really wor
ships on Sunday cannot go out
and flagrantly violate God’s moral
laws during the week.

Victory gardeners and others can
look for an early announcement of
sugar allotments for home can
ning, E. H. Talbert, of the OPA Co
lumbia District Office, stated to
day.
It is expected there will be the
same amount available for home
canning as in 1944, when the fig
ure was set at 700,000 tons. This
year, however, there will be one
difference. There will be no sur
plus sugar to take care of addi
tional demands, as was the case
last year.
Home canners will have to ex
ercise extreme caution, according
to Mr. Talbert. All sugar allotted
for home canning must be used
for that purpose only, and not for
cake, or candy making and other
home luxuries. Also, home can
ners should keep within the sugar
limits recommended by the De
partment of Agriculture.
The .reason there will be no ex
tra sugar available at the end of
the season, Mr. Talbert pointed
out is that military demands have
stepped up considerably. Sugar is
the army’s basic combat ration,
because it’s a quick-energy food.
Manpower shortages at ports and
plants prevent increased produc
tion, so naturally civilian sugar
consumption must be materially
reduced. This is £he reason, Mr.
Talbert added, that we’re how al
lowed five pounds of sugar every
three months, instead of every two
and a half months, as was recent
ly the case.
Another ration-free period,
wherein shoe dealers may get rid
of odds-and-ends and broken sizes
without ration stamps, has been
announced by the Office of Price
Administration.
According to E. H. Talbert, dis
trict director, dealers will have a
two-week period from February 19
through March 3, during which
over four and a half million pairs
of shoes will be offered at spe
cified price reduction, and with
out requirement of ration stamps.
These shoes have accumulated
on dealers’ shelves during the past
several months, Mr. Talbert stated.
Ordinarily, they would be moved
by means of seasonal clearance
sales, but even at reduced prices,
customers refuse to surrender their
precious shoe stamps for them.
This “stamp holiday” is declared
to give dealers an opportunity to
, clear their shelves, and also to ease
the shoe situation for consumers.
Men’s and women’s shoes alike
are featured in the odds and ends
and broken sizes; but children’s
shoes are not included. As Mr.
Talbert remarked, the demand for
children’s shoes exceeds the sup
ply, and there is no surplus ac
cumulated on dealers’ shelves,
i This two-week sale, listed offi
cially as “OPA Odd Lot Release”.
! does not affect the sale of a deal
er’s regular stock, which still re
quires ration stamps on the reg-
1 ular basis.

The average person ^ may not
realize it, but there are ceiling
prices on many types of used goods
as well as new, it was indicated
today by OPA District Price Exec
utive George W. Tomlin.
Occasion for the report was re
ceipt by the Board Office of a num
ber of leaflets, setting out thirty
different types of usqd goods from
accessories (personal and house
hold) to washing machines.
The leaflets, which are available
to the public without charge, are
not actual copies of the OPA reg
ulations, but are a handy guide for
buyers and sellers,
j Among the many items covered
are luggage, baby carriages, auto
mobiles, bedding and springs, fur-
1 niture, stoves, tools, lamps and
shades, office fixtures and equip
ment, musical instruments, radios,
sewing machines and others.
| Anyone desiring a copy of the
leaflet, Mr. Tomlin said, may call
or write his local War Price and
Rationing Board at McCormick, S.
C., and a copy will be mailed im
mediately, without cost.

HOME OF BETTER VALUES
GREENWOOD, S. C.
All the glowing blurbs we’re
reading about advantages in the
post-war world shouldn’t blind us
to the fact that the post-war world
being discussed is still very much
in the future, OPA District Direct
or E. H. Talbert warned today.
Intensification of our war drives
in Germany and the Pacific may
mean a quicker victory, he said,
but they also mean increased mil
itary demands for oil, tires, gas
and other supplies.
By rationing, by being content
with our fair share of scarce goods
and not trying to chisel from our
neighbors, there will be enough for
all essential civilian needs, though
&
W HEN you’re ordering your
seeds this spring don’t forget
to include several varieties of
herbs. You will find them interest
ing and profitable to grow because
some will provide tantalizing fla
vors for all sorts of dishes and oth
ers will furnish delicate fragrances
for your linen chests.
Study the seed ' catalogues
carefully to determine in ad
vance what each herb has to
offer that appeals particularly
to your needs. Some herbs are
annual and some perennial,
some are raised from seed and
others from cuttings or divi
sions of the roots.
Most of the annuals take from
. two to three months to flower. So if
you sow the seed early in May they
: will be ripe for harvesting early in
• August. In the meantime you can
pinch off a few leaves from time
to time when you want an extra
bit of flavor for a salad or sand
wiches.
In general, herbs like a .warm
sunny exposure, preferably facing
south or east and a well-drained
dry soiL The mints are almost the
only exception because they thrive
in a moist soil and semi-shade.
Furthermore, herbs do better in
soil that is not too rich. If they
are in too rich a soil they are apt
to be rank in growth but lacking in
fragrance and pungency. Plants
raised in a comparatively lean soil
will be compact and bushy and
produce a more concentrated oil.
Like all other plants, herbs re
spond to careful preparation of the
soil before the seed is sown.
When the ground is well pre
pared sow the seeds thinly. Then
cover them lightly by sifting a little
soil over them. Press down firm
ly with a board and if the ground
is very dry, water them gently.
When the plants are two or three
inches high they should be thinned
out if they are too thick in order
to give those remaining room to
grow and spread. They require al
most no care except pulling out
the weeds and cultivating after a
rain. Herbs seem to be singularly
healthy and immune from insect
pests.
A space two by four feet al
lows plenty of room for most
herbs. Many of the low grow
ing ones make delightful edging
plants for vegetable or flower
gardens. However, it’s a good
idea to label each planting so
that you’ll know which is
which.
Some of the tall growing vari
eties of herbs make good back-
grounds for low growing plants.
Others serve as good ground cov
ers, where grass refuses to grow
dry slopes, over rocky soil and
Iwtween shrubs. Winter savory with
its glossy evergreen foliage makes
‘.j* very, satisfactory ground cover.
