Curfew Ordinance Passed by County; Burden On Parents The much discussed uniform county curfew ordinance was passed unanimously at a meeting of the board of supervisors held Tuesday and all cities in the county have been asked to conform to the new law. Under the terms of the ordinance it will be unlawful for any person under 18 years of age to be on the streets between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless accompanied by their parents or on legitimate business. Designed to reduce juvenile delinquency the ordinance holds the parents or guardians of children under 18 years of age responsible for their whereabouts and provides for their arrest and penalties if they allow their children to loiter. Chairman Willis Warner stated that most of the mayors of county towns had expressed themselves as willing to work for the adoption of the uniform curfew law. Parents who have heretofore turned their children loose to go where they please at all hours of the night will now practically be charged with enforcement of the curfew ordinance, if it is adopted throughout the county.

Normally we have reserve facilities but in many districts, that reserve is now about used up, as materials and manufacturing have been devoted to the war for more than two years. This means there may be a delay in establishing or moving service for you. As we scrape the bottom of the barrel, we're trying hard to make what we have do the best possible job by_____ • Stretching switchboards to make room for more lines and calls. • Reconditioning all serviceable facilities and putting them to use. We don't want you put to any more inconvenience than we can help, and we want you to understand the wartime conditions restricting telephone service. Nobody likes to stand in line, but it's different when the line forms behind our fighting men.
