Your mileage rationing record must be presented to the board j when applying for all passen- ? j ger car gasoline rations. Meat Price Lists The new meat price list 1 gives the housewife her strong est weapon against the black market in meat," OPA District Director L. W. Driscoll said recently. . 1 ' There's only one force that keeps a black market in busi ness, and that's customers," he < added. "If shoppers will check these lists, and never pay a penny above the legal price, illegal markets will dry up al- 1 most overnight." A limited number of copies of the new meat price list, in a convenient size for folding in to purses or ration books, are now available at the Board of fice on a "first come ? first served" basis. The list, giving top prices permissible for all major cuts and types of meat, is a dose of "printed poison" in OPA's con tinuing fight against meat black marketers. With it, he home town wife can help achieve fairer distribution of our avail able meat supplies. More Canned Milk Moving to make more canned milk available for infants, in valids and others who require it in essential diets, OPA has reduced the amount currently used by industrial and institu tional users. Restaurants, prisons, and manufacturers who use canned milk in making other products, will not be allowed in the fu ture to use .their red points for purchasing canned milk, OPA laid. In areas where fluid nilk or other substitutes are lot available, however, the igency may give permission for :ontinued purchase of. canned nilk, on receipt of an appli :ation showing the actual need. Even though military needs ire still taking tremendous juantities of canned milk, this atest action, according to OPA ifficials, should improve distri bution in areas where canned milk is now critically scarce. Tire Dealers' Records OPA urges tire dealers to maintain' accurate records of ill tire transactions, in prepa ration of the inventory they must make on June 30. This inventory, accounting for all rationed tires and Parts B, must be filed by July 10. Deal ers not filing by that date will no.t be allowed to deal in ra tioned tires until the filing has been made. These new records and in ventories are the latest step in OPA's strengthened controls aver the distribution of tires. "We are still critically short on tires, and we must make abso lutely sure that every single tire reaches a legitimate, es sential user," Mr. Driscoll ex plained. Used car prices all over Amer ica will take a four per cent drop on July 1, the Office of Price Administration announc ed this week in Washington. The move affects cars sold either by regular dealers or pri vate owners. The price cut Is In accord ance with used car pricing reg ulations which provide for nor mal depreciation, OPA officials said, adding that four per cent would also be. deducted from charges .allowe for extra equip ment, such as heaters and ra dios. "This price drop should not only prove a stimulant to used car sales." according to OPA, "but will also provide addition al low-cost transportation to essential workers." Extra Gas Additional gasoline will now be available for farmers' rep resentatives who market fresh fruit and vegetables, and for certain wholesale buyers, OPA announced this week. Farm marketing agents, in cluding cooperatives, will be al lowed gasoline for travel to farms of the farmers they rep resent in order to direct harv esting, grading, packing and shipping of fresh fruits and vegetables, if such services are necessary to marketing of the crops. Adequate gasoline rations will also be given to wholesale buy ers, who must travel to farms to grade, inspect and classify farm products as essential steps in buying them from farmer. These preferred mileage ra tions are limited only by es sential requirements, and are being issued because of the ^auertising . . .

Gas For Servicemen Servicemen returning from overseas on ' temporary duty orders for rehabilitation, recu peration and recovery will be ( eligible for furlough gasoline rations, according to OPA's dis trict office in Charlotte. The servicemen may obtain his rations by applying to the local War Price and Rationing | Board, presenting both his tem porary duty orders and the mileage rationing record foi car he will be using, the an- ? nouncement said. Previously, servicemen were : required to present leave or fur lough papers when applying , for these gasoline rations, but those now being sent home for , periods of about 30 days are not being issued such papers. The amount of the ration remains the same, one gallon of gasoline for each day of the furlough, with a maximum of 30 gallons, OPA officials said. Letoria Oat Makes Exceptional Yields The Letoria oat, one of the many selections from the cross of the winter-hardy Lee oat and the disease-resistant Vic toria oat from South America, was selected by the Agricultur al Experiment Station at State College. It is not only exceptionally winter-hardy but it is also a heavy producer. This new, dis ease-resistant oat averaged 81 bushels per acre as compared with 54 bushels for Lee invests conducted at Swannanoa in 1941-42 and at Hendersonville in 1942-43, says Dr. Gordon Middleton, head of the field corps section of the Experiment Station. The original cross of the Lee and Victoria varieties was made by the Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases of the U. S. De partment. From this cross thousands of selections have been made, and among these are the Letoria and Lelina in North Carolina; the Stanton from South Carolina; the Le ga, Lelate, Levic, and Leroy va rieties from Georgia; the Flor ilee from Florida; and the De sota from Arkansas. Letoria has proven to be the most winter-hardy of this group and also a heavy yielder. The original cross of the two varie ties was made in 1927 and through the years the Agri cultural Experiment Station of North Carolina has been work ing for the farmer in an ef fort to produce a disease-resis tant, high-yielding oat that would make feed production easier and safer. Finall, after making countless selections, it developed a new oat with out standing winter-hardiness and a resistance to crown rust. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Can you tell me why the eggs in my incubator pip and do not hatch properly? A. Research work shows that there are generally three rea sons for this condition, says T. T. Brown, Extension poultry specialist: first, low average humidity; second, low average temperature; and third, exces sively high temperatuer for a short period. You seem to be using plenty of humidity and so Brown suggests that you check your thermometer. If you find the thermometer to be ac curate, he further suggests that you write the manufacturer a letter similar to the one you wrote him. You should be able to get more than 250 to 175 chicks from 375 fertile eggs. When death comes suddenly to cattle after they have been placed on pasture, the trouble may be blackleg. The animals should be examined by a vet erinarian. H'ffc cut and scarcity af wlra I* "? prablam . . . wttfc PARMAK yaa can tripla ywir fane* *M wira aa hand. Praduca mara with toss tims, labor, cost.

Ship Repair Workers Urgently Needed Workers are so urgently need ed to repair battle-damaged ships ? the number ot which has increased as a result of attacks by Japanese suicide airmen?^, that top-priority tor their re cruitment has been assigned. Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the War Manpower Commission, announced that quotas have been assigned to 10 of the 12 WMC regions for the interre gional recruitment of more than 15,000 skilled and semi-skilled workers required for ship re pair at ports on the West Coast.

The work will be carried on In Government ship-building fa cilities located in the Puget Sound area and San Francisco Bay area. Any worker who meets requirements will have his transportation and subsis tence en route paid by the Navy. An accepted worker may use his own automobile for travel and be reimbursed provided he agrees to remain on the job six months. Applicants should apply to the nearest local offices of the U. 8. Employment Service. In Puget Sound Navy Yard, wom en members of the family of a man who is recruited may be recruited as mechanic-learners. Rates of pay for highly skilled workers vary from yard to yard, but are generally from $1.20 to $1.23 an hour. Journey men with exceptional qualifica tions may be employed at high er rates. Trade helpers and general helpers earn approxi mately $.89 an hour. Poet's Corner NO DREAD OF FEAR By Cpl. Frank L. Crisp Mother, I have seen one victory; Yet there Is another to win. Yes, I'm still trusting my Savior; To keep me until the end. Now just in case I should fail that; I know not to dread nor to fear. For the same God that saved me a sinner; Has promised me in prayer He is near. I know that my days are all numbered; I know not when it may come. I know that my savior is wait ing; To take me when my race is run. My hope is for home and my loved ones; Though a cross comes first to help bear. So in case that cause o're takes me; Remember, I'll meet you all there. Don't shed any tears, but be happy; If my soul should be carried away . For all my time will be happi ness; And we'll meet again on that day. In the breast of a bulb Is the promise of spring; In the little blue egg Is a bird that will sing; In the soul of a seed Is the hope of the sod; In the heart of a child Is the Kingdom of God. ? W. L. Stidger Bees will not gather honey or pollinate crops in the most efficient manner unless the hive is large enough for them to develop a big family.

McKee of Sylva, was awarded the honor ary degree of Doctor of Laws by the Women's College of the University of North . Carolina. This action on the part of an outstanding educational institu tion of the State does honor not only to the individual but to the State of North Carolina as a whole. Macon county joins the Charlotte Observer in ? paying the following tribute to Mrs. McKee : Dr. McKee The Woman's College of the University of North Carolina honors itself in conferring the honorary degree of doctor of laws upon Mrs. E. L. McKee of Sylva. The state has called heavily upon this fine and intelligent woman of its high hills lor many public offices and serv ices .and in all of them she has given distinguished account of herself. For three regular and two special sessions of the general assembly she has served in the state senate and in that body her voice was often and effec tively lifted in behalf of sound social and humanitarian pro gress. Mrs. McKee also was a mem ber of former Gov. Broughton's board of inquiry which investi gated the State ? hospital at Morganton and also for four years she was a member of the State Board of education. Education is, in reality, one of her major interests. At least 100,000 fewer life In surance policyholders died from tuberculosia In 1944 than would have died under the death-rate from this cause applying in 1900, the Institute of Life In suarnce says, reflecting the sav ing in lives from health im provement efforts. More than 4,000,000 life in surance policy death claims have been paid in the United States since Pearl Harbor. Few er than 5% of these were on the lives of service men. She is not only crusadlngly interested in public educational progress but in the work of the Institutions of higher learning oi North Carolina. She is a member of the Board of trustees of the university and has filled other positions of honor and responsibility by reason of her known capacities and her high-minded devotion to the welfare of the public. She deserves to be cited as she has been by the Woman's College In this manner of pre ferment. Her friends will be happy to salute her hereafter as Doctor McKee.
