Farm Slaughterers
Many farmers in the Char
lotte District (which includes
Macon county) who have
slaughtered meat to sell in pre
vious years have so far failed
to register for new slaughtering
permits now required by OPA,
Districtor Director L. W. Dris
coll said yesterday. The dead
line for registration is June 30.
Farmers who have not applied
to the local War Price and Ra
tioning Board for permits by
that time will not be allowed
to slaughter any meat for sale,
nor have such meat slaughtered
for them for sale, Mr. Driscoll
explained.
Any resident farmer who sold
or transferred no meat, or not
more than 400 pounds, during
the 1944 base period may se
cure a permit to slaughter and
sell up to 400 pounds during
the next year. Those who slau
ghtered for sale or transfer
more than 400 pounds but less
than 6,000 pounds will be giv
en a quota based on last year's
record.
New Tires For Some Farmers
Farmers who have converted
passenger cars to farm use are
eligible for new tires, if farm
implement tires cannot be used,
and no suitable used tires are
available, OPA announces.
Examples given were "peach
flats" and similar converted ve
hicles, which Mr. Driscol said
are essential in maintaining our
peak food production.
Mure "Long Handles"
The recently announced OPA
WPB program to step up pro
duction of men's and boys'
heavyweight knitted underwear
should bear results in plenty of
time for this coming winter's
wearing.
Designed to achieve produc
tion in the July-September
quarter equal to the same quar
ter's production in 1943, the
plan provides for weekly reports
by manufacturers of current
production figures, with month
ly production goals set by WPB.
Shoes Get Anjther Holiday
Approximately four and a half
million ratibned shoes will be
sold without stamps during a
three week "odd lot" sale in
July, OPA officials in Charlotte
predicted.
The "ration holiday" extend
ing from July 9 through July
28. allows dealers to sell cer
tain odds and ends and broken
sizes, which accumulate after
every selling season, without re
quiring ration stamps. Such
odd-lot shoes must be sold at
prices at least 25 per cent
Under the June 1, 1945 price,
according to OPA.
"With our national supply of
shoes in such a critical condi
tion, we cannot afford to have
wearable footwear gathering
dust on dealers' shelves," Dis
trict Director L. W. Driscoll ex
plained. "This ration-free sale
affords a chance to get these
shoes where they're most need
ed ? on the feet of Americans."
He estimated the release
would include about 1,400,000
men's shoes and approximately
3,100,000 women's shoes. No
children's shoes are included
because normal sales have been
so great that no surplus has
accumulated, he said,

Woods Workers Are
Seriously Needed
Transfer of American combat
I forces from Europe to the far
! flung fighting fronts in the
Pacific will present the greatest
j problem in logistics in the his
J tory of warfare, says Dean I.
O. Schaub, State Extension Pi
j rector at State College and
chairman of Gov. Gregg Cher
ry's emergency committee on
Forest Products Production. "To
j do this job with speed and ef
j ficiency we will, require vast
supplies of containers made
lrom pulpwood and millions of
j board feet of lumber for crat
ing and dunnage," he explains.
"The magnitude of the task
is indicated by figures relating
to the shipment of supplies to
the war fronts in 1944. Some
42.000,000 containers made from
! pulpwood went forward every
! month earrying food, munitions,
and supplies overseas, That Is
more than a million contain
ers a day. Lumber In millions
of board feet went into ships,
j barges, Agineering timbers, as
! well as dunnage and crates, to
enable' our troops to fight on
to victory with no let up in
| supplies of vital material.
"Production of pulpwood and
saw logs is still behind schedule
in North Carolina. Our goal is
850.000 unit cords of pulpwood
and 1,600,000,000 board feet of
timber in 1945. To get this pro
duction, more men are needed
in the woods -right now to cut,
: haul, and load pulpwood and
saw logs. Anyone engaged in a
non-essential job should seri
ously consider acceptance of one
of these jobs1 and apply at the
local office of the U. S. Em
ployment Service. The man cut
ting pulpwood and saw logs is
making a real effort to speed
the day of final victory over
the Jap," Dean Schaub says.

For June this year, this allow

of the amount used (n June
1942.

the Navy provided each man

amount eaten by the average

Sweet potatoes from North

( Approximately 2,400.000 bush
els of sweet potatoes will be
dehydrated in 1945 to produce
20 million pounds for overseas
shipment, according to the War
Department.
One of the most popular '
Items on menus for the mill- j

served about every tenth day
in baked, candied or glazed
