WAR PROBLEMS FACE
SHIPPING POINT MEN
Transportation
pioblems
are
vexing the federal-state shipping
point service, state department of
agriculturre officials said follow­
ing a recent conference with ship­
ping point supervisors. Most of the
shipping point men operate their
own cars, and as a result of tire
shortage they face the perplexing
situation of how to carry on when
their present rubber is exhausted.
With gasoline rationing at hand,
further worries have developed re­
lative to carrying on without cur­
tailment of service.
Uuicials also expressed concern
over prospects of keeping exper­
ienced inspectors in the face of
higher wages offered by private
industry. Shipping point funds per-
mit no raise in salaries at this
time, department heads point out.
Diplomas will be handed out to
108 seniors Wednesday night, May
27 when the class of 1942, Ashland
high school, graduates. This is the

the local school on record, ex­
