(See County FOUND—One ring which owner Agent ) The voluntary “self-rationing” of wheat products and fats and oils by McCormick County house wives will help immeasurably in the gigantic task of reeding starv ing millions abroad, Mr. Freeland, County Manager, of the Emer gency Food Program, said here to day. .■ Mr. Freeland appealed for the voluntary reductions of 4J per cent in heme consumption ol wheat products, and 20 per cent in that cf fats and oils. Quoting ,.a statement recently made far cpnnection with famine conditions. abroad, Mr. Freeland pointed, out that “two thousand persons died in Athens, GrecCi: : yesterday; two thousand more will die today two thousand more to morrow.” .: “Yet, today’s 2,000 dead in Athens constitute only a fraction of the starving and dying. More than 500,000,000 persons — nearly four times as many as the United States’ entire population—are in immediate danger of starvation and death unless we can provide them with food until their next harvest season.” Mr. Freeland cited many ways in which housewives—and public eating places as well—can help by reducing consumption. of wheat and fats. Chief among his suggestions are these:. Use plentiful foods, such as potatoes, instead of bread, and serve fewer fried foods. Broil more foods, making maximum use! of meat and bacon drippings. Turn in all used fats to buteners j and grocers when they can be no longer used for cooking purposes. • Serve fewer pastries. Serve less bread at each meal, and make sure none is left on plates.

JACK WOOD frr-rr A master plan for the distribu tion of new cars to Chevrolet dealers throughout the nation which will enable them to meet the buying demands of all sections and all groups including veterans of the armed forces, doctors, nurses and others whose transpor- t will Serve a barbe- ■ toti^n needs are critical, was an nounced today by T. H. Keating, general sales manager, Chevrolet Motor Division of the General Motors Corporation. “It is the goal of Chevrolet to meet the motoring requirements cf the nation in the most uniform manner possible, thus assuring an even flow of cars into all com munities, large and small, in proper proportion to the demand for them,” said Keating. “The Chevrolet Dealep Distribution 'Plan is designed to make certain that the rights and equities of every Chevrolet dealer—and through the dealer every Chevrolet buyer—are protected with equal justice to all groups and all parts of the coun try. The objective of the plan is to meet, insofar as we are able to do so, the motoring needs of men and women of metropolitan Am erica—of agricultural America— of all America with complete fair- neas and impartiality and as swiftly as the many Chevrolet plants can turn out the cars and place them in the hands of our dealers.” Keep your Old Shoe Under the plan, Keating said 1 J allotments of new cars will be based upon a mathematical for mula which accurately weighs the individual dealer’s sales of 1941 model cars, his operations during the wartime years and other busi ness factors. The. program em braces the entire country and will remain in effect until October 31, 1947. Establishment of the carefully developed plan, keating said, not only recognizes the Chevrolet dealers who met their responsibili ties to the public during the war by maintaining active service fa cilities, but provides every Chev rolet buyer—through the equitable distribution of cars to every Chev rolet dealer—the opporunity to be served in the most satisfactory manner. “Our great objective of meeting the motoring needs of all custo mers in the fairest manner is, ol ccurse, in the final analysis The direct concern of the Chevrolet dealer,” Keating declared. “We b3- lirve that every Chevrolet dealer will deliver cars in accordance with his best judgment, taking in to full consideration the needs cf your Old Shoe Comfort, but have a New Shoe appearance.

ADVERTISE HER ^ I his community and the impor tance of meeting the vital re quirements of veterans, public health and safety agencies and others whose transportation needs are extremely serious. “Needless to say, Chevrolet deal ers cannot fill the orders of all buyers of new Chevrolet cars si multaneously or overnight, much as they would like to do so, but they will meet the unprecedented demand for new Chevrolets just as soon as this becomes possible. “It is our firm belief that through this carefullly developed Dealer Distribution Plan more people can be satisfied—and sat isfied more quickly—than through any other method of new car ap portionment because it will re sult in the most accurately pro portionate and speedy distribution of new cars to Chevrolet dealers and through them to the public. “We are confident that Chevro let dealers appreciate the com plete fairness which guides our distribution of new cars to them and that they will cooperate fully in following the same broad equit able principles in the local dis tribution of new cars which they may receive under the • Chevrolet program. “Meanwhile Chevrolet Motor Division wishes to express it* at- itude for the patience whicL * v ^t'r he public and Chevrolet r’ loro are displaying during this lrr-pc- rary period of car shortage. 1 :, and is confident that the dealer • will fill the orders of the public for new cars at the earliest possible date.” Ford Announces Plans Of Low-Price Car Division Dearborn, Mich., April 29.—^For mation of a low-price car division, in line with plans originally made public in 1944, was announced April 12 by Henry Ford II, presi dent of the Ford Motor Company. Mr. Ford said the new car will be presented to the public follow ing introduction of the regular line of post-war Fords, sometime after January 1947. A. B. Pease, present assistant di rector of sales of the Ford Motor Company, will be •named general manager of the new division, with C. H. Carroll, director of pur chasing, as assistant general man ager. Successors to both their Ford Motor Company posts will be named later. Additional manufacturing facil~ ities for the new car will be sought immediately, Mr. Ford said.
