VERNA & HAL KOHN Atlanta, Nov. 20—The OPA charg ed tonight that unscrupulous auto mobile dealers in the southeastern states are cheating World War II veterans of thousands of dollars a day through gross overcharges on automobile sales and ceiling price “dodges.’’ Hamilton B. Stephens, OPA re gional enforcement attorney, said there were “mounting reports” from veterans that they were unable to purchase used cars without agree ing to make a itional payments to dealers. In ovhsr cases, the vet erans charged, they were compelled to buy “trade-in” vehicles at con siderable loss or resort to other methods in order that dealers could receive more than ceiling prices. Maj. Gen. Edward H. Brooks, commander of the Fourth Service command which includes the south eastern states, announced a pro gram to acquaint all military per sonnel with the rackets before they reached separation centers. Brooks said veterans would be informed of the practices of automobile racket eers and would be urged to report over-ceiling charges or double-deal ing. The OPA instructed officials in Sout hCaroiina’s borders was assured close cooperation with the com manding officers of each Army post in an effort to smash the racket which, the OPA said, had reached “menacing proportions.” In Nashville. Tenn., the OPA said, a veteran selected a 1941 Packard convertible, ceiling price of which was $1,478. The dealer refused to sell him the car until the discharg ed soldier first agreed to buy an other 1941 model automobile at the ceiling price of $1,050. This second car was to be traded in to the deal er on the convertible for $350. The OPA in Montgomery, Ala., reported that veterans had “storm ed” its office with reports of chisel ing by auomobile dealers.

Sweep them daily with a soft brush or hand carpet sweeper to pick up loose dirt, lint, and thread. If not, the dirt works down into the rug and is very hard to remove. Your dining room rug should be swept daily to whisk off grease before it soaks in. Every week give the rug a tho ough cleaning with vacumn cleaner or broom. Long even strokes stir up less dirt and are easier on the rug. Clean small rugs like larger ones. Lay them flat on a big rug or out doors on clean dry grass. Do not shake or beat them for this pulls out the hems and breaks the yarns. Use glass, plastic or wooden cast er cups under furniture legs to keep them from cutting into the rugs. A mothproofed hair pad under your rugs makes them last longer. Several layers of newspaper may be used as a pad. Door mats help keep dirt off rugs indoors. Turn your rug end for end at least once a year to distribute wear more evenly. Lift furniture rather than drag it. Check your rugs for holes or worn places and mend immediately. Clip the loose ends that appear instead of pulling them out as this leaves bald spots. TO CLEAN RUGS Vacumn or brush the surface thoroughly. Dissolve 1 cup neytral soap flakes in 3 cups of water add 2 T household ammonia. Beat until it resembles whipped cream. With a small hand brush spread foam over surface— about two square feet at a time. Be sure cleaned portions over-lap. Do not use too much soap paste. Scrape dry foam off with a spatula or dull knife. Wring clean cloth quite dry from water and rinse off surfaces, repeat if necessary. Brush pile ma terials to lay in normal position, al low rug to dry then brush again to make surface fluffy and new. Too many fires are started by a hot iron left standing, forgotten on the bottom cover of the iron board. Don’t run this risk. Fireproof yours now. Mix together 2 quarts hot water, 7 ounces of Borax and 3 ounces of Boric Acid. Dip your ironing board cover into this solution, wring it out and hang it up to dry.

This was learned today from high bank officials who said that of the eight countries now eligible for a cotton-loan, Italy would be the first recipient with a credit of about $25,000,000 or enough to buy some 250,000 bales of raw cotton. The remaining countries eligible for an Export-Import bank cotton loan are: France, Belgium, Den mark, Norway, the Netherlands, Hol land a nd Czechoslovakia. In effect, the program is design ed to accomp'ish two main things: 1. Reduce the large U. S. cotton surpluses and reactivate the Ameri can cotton exporting business. 2. Rehabilitate the cotton manu facturing industries of nations abroad and speed their domestic ?md export sales of finished cotton goods toward prewar levels.

Since late 1942 and early 1943, the department stated, a gradual fall in the farmer’s share has de veloped to less than 12 per cent in early 1945. This, it was pointed out, was caused by the persistent rise in retail* prices of cotton products purchased by consumers without a proportionate rise in prices received by farmers for lint cotton.

Cooper Announces Plans For Twelve- Million-Dollar Corporation Columbia, Nov. 20—Construction of a new $12,000,000 industry within South Carolina’s borders was assured today with contract arrangements by SanteeXooper, state-owned power project. The project signed a contract with the Gair-Santee corporation for lands and operations rights . on the project’s Lake Marion for a paper board and box factory. Negotiations had been under way for months, and were culminated today after the Federal Works agency, Santee-Cooper bond holders, had approved. The Gair-Santee plant, which Santee-Cooper estimated would em ploy 650 persons at first and event ually have a payroll of 1,000 work ers, plans to build a new town at the present site of the village of Santee. The town plans call for an even tual total population of 2,500 per sons. Location of the plant will be near the junction of highways 6 and 15, just 14 miles_northeast of Orange burg. The contract called for deeding of 299 acres of Santee-Cooper land to the corporation for $17,500. In addition the paper firm will pay th estate project $3,500 a year for the first 25 years of operation and $1,500 a year for the second 25-year iod for water rights and other easements. A harbor will be constructed at the plant for water navigation of its products through Santee-Cooper waters, 90 miles to the pert of Charleston, which it plans to use. Santee-Cooper said a navigable depth of 12 feet minimum was now maintained for the entire distance. The firm will use barges to trans port its products. The harbor will be 59 miles from Columbia compared with a high way distance of 50 miles, General Manager R. M. Jefferies of the pow er project said. “The best scientific methods are to be used to prevent population of the waters” by mill waste, Jefferies said. “The new firm will not use a large amount of Santee-Cooper power, but anything that will build up the coastal country will help Santee-Cooper and will have its full support.” JAMES KINARD TO SPEAK AT ROTARY MEET At the regular Rotary meeting Friday at one, James Kinard will give a Thanksgiving talk.
