Tid-Bits in the Waurika News-Democrat, May 21, 1943 edition

The new war alarm clock will be sold for not more than $1.65 exclusive of tax. WPB is allocating materials for 1,700,00 of these to ease a national shortage.

Sugar for home canning will be limited to one pound for each four quarts (or eight pounds) of the finished product and may be secured on written application to the housewife’s local board. Each person is allowed not more than 25 pounds. Any family can apply for sugar to put up jams, jellies and preserves at the rate of five pounds per person. Last year, sugar for preserves was limited to one pound per person.

The annual drive for funds for the Boy Scouts will open Wednesday morning of next week with a breakfast for the workers at the Coffee Shop, following which everybody will be called on for a donation. Be ready with yours.

Does advertising get results? Ask Lambuth HILLERY. Last week he had listed in his ad, among other items, chopping hoes. Monday’s mail brought the following letter from Osage country:

PARKING ORDINANCE

Center Parking in the streets of Waurika is prohibited by City Ordinance. It has been allowed in the past, but the decrease in traffic makes it no longer necessary.

THE CITY ORDINANCE REQUIRES AND THE CITY GOVERNMENT REQUESTS:

(1) That you do not park in center of streets.

(2) That vehicles more than 17 feet in length be parked on side streets (streets other than Main) only, and near to and parallel with the curb.

DOUBLE PARKING FOR NOT MORE THAN TEN MINUTES IS PERMITTED ONLY IF A COMPETENT DRIVE REMAINS IN THE CAR.

We expect that the public will comply with this request when it is generally understood---hence this advertisement. Our officers will courteously assist in informing the public as to parking requirements. No arrests will be made until after there has been sufficient time for everyone to learn of these traffic laws.

Business and professional men of the town, and their employees, will assist materially if they will park their own cars on side streets or at the rear of the buildings.

JERRY M. BRANDON, Mayor

By ORDER OF CITY COUNCIL.
