Postal ' To Plan Foods For Freedom Program ! Great Waste Emphasiz ! ed By County Agent Overman FOOD A WEAPON , Neighborhood and Block | Leaders Will Con tact Families In conjunction with the Foods Fight for Freedom program, a num ber of community meetings for neighborhood leaders have been an nounced by County Agents C. W. Overman and Miss Rebecca Colwell. Following these meetings the neigh -1 borhood and city block leaders will j 1 contact each family on their list, I explaining the program and distri- j buting literature. The meetings for neighborhood! ' leaders have been scheduled as follows: I liyland Community, Monday, Jan uary 10. ; Center Hill Community, Tuesday, : January 11. 1 Gross Roads, in the Community Building, Monday, January 10. !

Rocky Hock Community, Tuesday,] i January 11. [ Advance Community, Thursday,! j January 13. j In commenting upon the program, j Mr. Overman said: I “Food is one of our greatest war 1 weapons. We must save it, use it | right and send it to our Armed ■ Forces, our Allies and the peoples of , our occupied territories. “Farmers of America reached a ; record high production of food in 1!>43. Statistics show that about 20 to 30 per cent of this food was s wasted through garbage, inefficient distribution and other causes—that : approximately 15 per cent of all food purchased by American consumers was wasted. 1 “Our 1043 consumption of Ameri can grown food will be about asi ' follows: I Our Armed Forces, 13 per cent. I j American Civilians, 75 per cent, j Our Allies (Lend-Lease) 10 per et. i Friendly Neighbors, 2 per cent, i “We must hold our production and I increase it, if possible. If we stop I the waste we will have plenty of food.” Americans are asked in war-time to take various actions on food—to i grow it, preserve it, conserve it, eat j right, observe price and rationing' rules. These appeals have been made piecemeal, without showing the reasons why all such actions are necessary to make food fight for a ; j shorter war and a lasting peace. The goal of the mobilization is to! see that every citizen understands' the basic facts about war-time food,) I and to inspire every citizen to do all !in his power to carry out the ap- j ! peals to action: produce and conserve, I i share and play square. It is hoped 1 j that through this program will be en- I gendered understanding and respect •{for food as a weapon. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT I Mr. and Mrs. A. R.

Wickard of the Department of Agriculture said this week in urging farmers to back the Victory Pulp wood Campaign. At the same time, Marvin Jones, , War Food Administrator, pointed out that the pulpwood shortage directly ! affects farmers because they are : large users of its products in carry -1 ing on their normal trade in farm [ produce. “1 have watched with interest the j development of the Victory Pulpwood ! Campaign, in which farmers in pulp i wood-producing areas are playing such an important part,” Secretary Wickard stated. “The farmers of America are per forming outstanding service in rais ing foodstuffs for our fighting men, our Allies, and the home front. They will do their part in producing the I pulpwood that goes into supplies and equipment for their own sons, brothers, and friends overseas. “Actually the one production job complements the other. Food from our farms is transported to our fight ing forces in paper-board boxes and multi-wall paper bags made of pulp wood. “County agents and foresters, who already have helped in the . Victory' Pulpwood Campaign, may be counted on to advise farmers mi how and what trees to cut in accordance with good forestry practices. Also, the Forest Service is including increased produc f pulpwood ,* of its program, initiated at the re quest of the War Production Board, to stimulate the output of forest products needed for the war.” War Food Administrator Jones said, “Farmers constitute one of the biggest groups of farm products users.” Because of the critical short age of both pulpwood and lumber, he urged farmers to: ; 1. Increase production from farm woodlands during the winter. 2. Provide labor for forest indus tries during the slack w-inter season on farms. He called attention to the Selec tive Service regulations which permit farmers and farm laborers to do such seasonal work without losing' their deferred classification in agriculture. Increased production from farm woodland is needed for the manufac ture of containers, which are highly essential to food production, War Food Administration officials stated. .Many veneer mills, basket and crate tactories, and pulp and paper mills depend to a large extent on supplies of logs and bolts products by farm ers. Current shortages in supply have been attributed in part to a slackening in production from farm woodlands. Increased production of these forest products by farmers themselves will aid in assuring a sup ply of containers sufficient for the marketing of 1944 crops. To market the fruit and vegetable crop in 1944 some 160 million new baskets and hampers, 450 million berry cups, 50 million wirebound ve neer boxes, more than 300 million nailed boxes and crates, and large quantities of paper and pulp products for wraps, liners, pads, bags, and cartons, will be required. Other farm crops expand these needs. Sheriff Has Good Tax Collection In December Payment of taxes in Chowan Coun ty proved quite popular during De cember, according to Sheriff J. A. Bunch's report to the County Com missioners Monday morning. During the month the Sheriff collected $17,269.41 for 1943 taxes. Total 1943 taxes collected by I Sheriff Bunch to date amounts to $39,046.43, or just about half of the j tax levy. Mrs. M. P. Whichard Patient In Hospital Many Edenton friends of Mrs. M. P.
