License tag sales here contin-
ued to be slow this week, Justin
Snyder, deputy, said this morn-
ing (Thursday). Only 150 pas-
senger car tags had been sold at
that time. Aransas Pass and In-
gleside motorists purchase their
tags here.
Sales over the county are all
reported slower than usual, the
Or- combined result of tire shortages,
some decrease in population and
number of motorists, and in-
creased living expenses, which is
causing many people to delay
purchasing their tags. New tags
must be on vehicles' after March
31st..

Cucumber, Tomato
Crops To Be Late
—Buy Bonds—
Cucumber crops in this section
will be about two weeks late and
tomatoes will be from three to
four weeks late, cold, wet wea-
ther having prevented planting
during the latter part of Febru-
ary and first week of March.
Warm weather this week en-
abled farmers to begin planting
j their spring crops, but it is ex-
pected that the acreage in this vi-
cinity will be far less than in
past seasons. Shortage of seeds
and curtailment of government
aid were given as reasons for
many farmers failing to plant
crops.
Some tomatoes had been plan-
ted in February but the continu-
ed rains caused the small plants
to “damp off” and stands were
said to be only about 50 per cent
good.

San Patricio county’s March
tire quota, as announced by E.
D. Richmond Jr., local member
of the board, is for 34 passenger
tires, 28 passenger tubes; 128
truck tires, 55 re-treaded truck
tires and 144 truck tubes.
Truck tires only may be re-
treaded, the ban on passenger
tire retreading still being effec-
tive. Another new ruling effec-
tive this month is that all tires
and tubes issued for tractors must
be charged against the truck
quota.
Thus, the March quota for truck
tires, 57 more than in February,
is actually far less since the de-
mand for tractor tires is larger
than for any other type of tire.
Twenty-two more truck tubes
were allowed this month, but the
full quota has never been used
to date. t1
Only 25 per cent of the month s
quota of any of the tires or tubes
may be issued the first week, and
Mr. Richmond reported that last
Friday the full amount allowed
on truck tires was issued, because
j of the new ruling concerning
j tractor tires.
Most of the February quota of
! tires was issued by the board,
I although some, tubes were left.
{ Quotas on hand cannot'be carried
over from one month to the other.
Office of the rationing board j
has been moved downstairs in
the courthouse at Sinton and a
permanent clerk, Mrs. Robertson,
has been employed under civil
service, to be there at all times.
When sugar rationing goes into
effect, the county ration board
will be required to have charge
of all recoids after the schools
have registered residents and is-
sued ration cards, and the addi-
tional responsibility made a clerk
necessary.

Because the war has made all of
the nation’s coastal sections like-
ly to attack from enemy forces,
added to the fact that the Gulf
coast in the summer and fall is
subject to hurricane damage, the

branch has become one of the
