McCORMICK MESSING** Mc^O ! 'IGK, SOUTH C Gasoline And Fuel Oil Rationing Cou pons Now Valueless With the end of gasoline and fuel oil rationing, all rationing coupons and certificates for these products held by the trade or con sumers became valueless and may be disposed of, OPA District Di rector B. H. Talbert said Saturday in Columbia. Hie gasoline ration coupons are not needed to obtain a tire pur chase certificate nor will their pos session aid an applicant in getting .such a certificate, Mr. Talbert < aid. Passenger and truck tires are still being rationed, largely on the basis of occupational driving needs and with eligibility no long er dependent on the consuumer’s “B” and "C” gasoline ration. Fuel oil coupon sheets that have been deposited with dealers and suppliers need not be returned to consumers nor retained. Dealers, distributors and suppli ers of gasoline and fuel oil need not retain records that were re quired by rationing orders unless the same records are required by some other regulation, order or law. Under OPA’s price regula tions for petroleum products, deal ers, suppliers and distributors are required to keep customary book keeping records including in voices! Licensed distributors of gasoline are no longer required to prepare or submit any rationing reports, and, of course, need not send cop ies of monthly reports and form 550 to State Fuel Tax Administra tors for transmission to OPA. However, the Tax Administrators will forward to OPA all such re ports, ration checks and reconcil iation statements they now hold. Similarly, fuel oil dealers and pri mary suppliers need not submit any reports. Mr. Talbert said that ration banks in the Columbia district have been instructed to close out all consumer and industry ac counts on gasoline and fuel oil so no more deposits or withdrawals should be made. State To Seek New Industry, Tourists With National Ad vertising Campaign V . Columbia, S. C., Aug. 30. — A double-barreled national adver tising campaign emphasizing the many advantages of South Caro lina as a location for industry and the numerous attractions for tour ists and vacationists was announc ed today by Robert M. Cooper, di rector of the State Research, Plan ning and Development Board. Two series of advertisements are now being prepared, Mr. Cooper said, and they will start appear ing in a number of the nation’s business magazines and in travel and resort pages of newspapers over a wide area as soon as possi ble. The series directed to the busi ness men of the nation will stress the abundant supply of electric power at unusually low rates, ex ceptionally mild climate, availabil ity of skilled and unskilled work ers, transportation facilities, in cluding the three fine seaports, and natural resources. The other group of advertisements will fea ture recreation facilities, including beaches, resorts, etc., unique gar dens and hunting and fishing. Pointing out that “a, marvelous opportunity lies ahead for our state and we want to take full ad vantage of it,” Mr. Cooper stressed the fact that “care will be taken to see that every county and sec tion will be benefitted through this national advertising campaign.” “If a manufacturer asks the board for specific information a- bout locating in the state,” Mr. Cooper said, “the proper authori ties in every place which has plausible reasons for being con sidered will be notified. The board will cooperate closely with cham bers of commerce, city and county officials, local planning boards and others. “By the same token, we hope to have the active cooperation of ev ery civic-minded person in putting across this statewide program.” Citing the trend among large manufacturing concerns to decen tralize and establish sectional plants,* he said one of the major objectives of the campaign would be to reach the heads of such frims with specific facts on South Carolina which offers ideal loca- 1 N A i iTjOlO MUCH has been said about the wartime use of pulpwood that some people fail to realize the great peacetime demand that lies ahead.

The General Assembly es f ablish- ed the Research, Planning rmJ De velopment Board this year. Its major policies are: (1) T? coop erate with present industri s in the state; (2) to stimuulate Incen tive and enthusiasm withi.i the state, and (3) to invite outside businesses to South Carolina. In addition to Mr. Cooper, the director, the board consists of Tom B. Pearce, of Columbia, who is chairman; Josiah J. Evans, of Passenger car tire quotas for local War Price and Rationing Boards will remain unchanged un til at least October 1, E. H. Tal bert, District Director in Columbia, announced today. Although eligibility restrictions have been eased, he pointed out, the supply of tires for civilian use is not at the point yqt where tire quotas can be increased, nor is i f likely that they will be for at least six weeks. The new eligibility set-up is o~’ the basis of occupational services, quota limitations and proof of need established by usual OPA in spection with a “very limited” number cf new tires available for ( non-occupational driving, Mr. Tal bert added. Mr. Talbert said that full con trol over tire rationing will con tinue to be in the hands of local [boards, with purchase certificates being issued in the following cases: 1. Passenger cars used for oc cupational purposes. 2. Passenger cars used for non- occupational driving provided the local board decides denial of the application would cause undue hardship and the total of certif icates issued to these drivers does not exceed five per cent of the board’s monthly quota. Denials of the hardship applications cannot be appealed. A change in eligibility announc- j ed today by Mr. Talbert, is that an ! emergency spare tire can now be replaced. He explained that “a tire pur chase certificate may be issued for a tire to replace one that is not serviceable for use on a car”. Pre viously if the applicant had four usable tires, a certificate to re place a spare could not be issued. Another extension of eligibility permits issuance of purchase cer tificates for tires to be used on house trailers that have been and are being used now as living quar ters. Before, such certificates were issued only if the occupant of the trailer was employed in essential war work. s X FALTH ^VITH ASMILE What Is a Proper Fitting Shoe? By Dr. J. B.
