STATE TO BUY
SALEM, July 21 (JP The
state board of control today au
thorized S. B. Gillette, state pur
chasing agent, to begin buying
used automobiles for state de
partments.
Gillette reported it now is im
possible for the state to obtain
new cars. He said at least 25
automobiles would have to be
bought for the state within the
next six months.
The board decided to renew
the $412,000 insurance on the
state flax plant at the state
prison, the. premium amounts to
$10,000 a year and the present
policy expires September 1.
The board took out the pri
vate insurance last fall after a
scries of disastrous fires which
were set by convicts, the board
finding that the state restoration
fund, which is the state's own
insurance system, did not con
tain enough money to stand fur
ther losses. This fund now totals
$190,000.
The state unemployment com
pensation commission asked the
board to increase from 4 cents
to 8 cents the mileage allow
ances given to employes to use
their private cars in state busi
ness. The commission said the
employes lose money by using
their own cars, and that several
have threatened to quit their jobs
because of the mileage rate.

All commercial vehicle oper
ators requesting applications for
certificates of war necessity on
used trucks must first secure the
original certificate from the
former owner and submit it with
their application to the office
of defense transportation before
a new certificate can be issued.
This new change is to become
effective immediately said Jim
H. Busch, district ODT manager.
Busch said that this new pro
cedure has become necessary be
cause of the increased number
of duplicate certificates of war
necessity now being issued by
the district office of ODT.
Individuals selling used com
mercial vehicles must also sur
render their "TT" coupons either
to their local war price and ra
tioning boards or to the ODT
for cancellation. Busch also ex
plained that if this procedure
it followed by all applicants, it
will help expedite the issuance
of certificates of war necessity
from the Medford ODT office,
Canning sugar is now being
allotted by the local war price
and rationing board. Applicants
for the sugar must have used

canners were warned to plan
ahead and get their sugar sup
ply before they buy their fruit,
. thus preventing possible spoil
age. Applications may be made by
mail or in person. In either
case, ration book one must be
returned with the application.

ISTS MUST
Motorists who fail to endorse
all gasoline coupons in their
mileage ration books immediate
ly may subject themselves to a
penalty of losing part of their
rations, OPA officials announced
today.
In the past, it has not been
necessary to endorse coupons un
til they were actually used to
buy gas, OPA explained, but im
mediate endorsements are now
required under a new OPA
amendment, both as a protection
to the public and as a help to
the OPA investigators in check
ing misuse of ration coupons.
The new requirement also means
greater protection to the motor
ist whose book is lost or stolen.
The endorsement, which con
sists of writing or printing the
license number and state of reg
istration of the vehicle, must be
made dn the face rather than
the back of the coupon, and it
must be made on the coupon by
the holder of the book imme
diately upon receipt of same.
Service station attendants are
not permitted to perform this
function for the motorist..

Nazis Kill French
Innkeeper for
Sheltering Airman
NEW YORK, July 21 (P
The nazi-controllcd Paris radio
said today that an innkeeper in
the French town of Cormcilles
had been put to death by order
of a German military court for
giving overnight shelter to an
American airman.
The broadcast, which was re
corded by the OWI. did not dis
close the fate of the American,
who was said to have bailed out
near the town.
You cannot get blood out of a turnip.
Neither can we get unlimited quan
tities of merchandise for civilian use
when first preference must be given
the needs of our Armed Forces.
It's neither patriotic nor prudent now
as it will be unavailing later to
insist on merchandise for your normal
requirements -- and this applies not
only to the general public but to the
volume-crazed retailer and to the
business-as-usual manufacturer who
forget that priorities and restrictions
on raw materials and processing ele-1
ments are imposed in the interest of
victory.
