For Wholesale And
Retail Coffee Men
The following rules and regula
tions were announced recently by
rationing authorities governing the
wholesale and retail coffee sales:
(a) Every retailer and wholesaler
shall maintain records of (1) all
roasted and green coffee acquired
by him on or after November 22,
1942, the names and addresses of the
persons from whom such coffee was
acquired, and the date and amount
of each acquisition thereof; (2) the
names and addresses of all persons,
except consumers, to whom green
and roasted coffee was transferred
and the date and amount of each
transfer; (3) the names and ad
dresses of all persons to whom Pur
chase Warrants were surrendered
and the date and amount of each
Purchase Warrant surrendered; (4)
the names and addresses of all per
sons from whom Purchase Warrants
were received and the date and
amount of each Purchase Warrant so
received; and (5) the amounts of
his initial and allowable inventories
of coffee. Each retailer and whole
saler shall also preserve all exist
ing sales and other records upon
which the computations of his ini
tial and allowable inventories are
based.
(b) Every retailer or wholesaler
shall on or before December 31,
1942, report to the Board, on such
form as may be prescribed by the
Office of Price Administration, the
following: (1) the information con
tained in his records maintained pur
suance paragraphs (a) (3), (a) (4),
and (a) (5) of this section; (2) the
computations of his initial and al
lowable inventories; and (3) such
other information as may be called
for by such form.
Farm Buildings
Must Be Preserved
Money spent on the maintenance
of farm buildings in peace time pays
high dividends, says D. S. Weaver.
Extension agricultural engineer of
N. C. State College. In War time he
says, the scarcity of materials for
new buildings, and even for repairs,
makes maintenance vital to insure
continued use of the building.
Perhaps the most needed protec
tion for existing farm buildings in
North Carolina is paint, says Weav
er. The life of a building is increas
ed by 30 per cent or more if it is kept
in good condition to withstand ex
posure to the weather.
"The duarbility of paints depends
to a great extent upon the quality
of the produ. t," the agricultural en
gineer asserted. "All good paint con
sists of an oil mixed with powder,
known as a pigment. The quality of
these two ingredients, together with
the method of mixing, determines
the desirability of the paint.
"All paint manufacturers who
make reliable products put on the
for jest ernuf to live on a day, then
World War II is shore in the offin.
Suggests Plans For
Beautifying Home
John H. Harris, extension land
scape specialist of N. C. State Col
lege, says there are many home l^au- j
tification jobs that can be accom
plished during the month of Decem
ber. "We all need to keep our morale
high," he declared, "and the im
provement of the homestead will
help make life more pleasant for
those on the civilian front, and for
label of the can the amount of each
kind of pigment and liquid used,"
Weaver continued. "Paints without
such a formula may be considered of
doubtful value. Since two-thirds of
the cost of the paint job goes for la
bor, it is obviously foolish to use
low-grade, short-lived paint."
the fighting forces when they re
turn from the camps and battle
fronts."
He offers the following home
beautification suggestions for De
cember:
(1) Now is the time to transplant
trees and shrubs?you will wish you
had next spring. %
(2) In gathering Christmas greens
for decoration or sale, why not go
deep into the woods rather than de
stroy the beauty along the road.
Even in the woods, our decorations
may be gathered by careful pruning
rather than by destroying the tree.
(3) This is a good time to prune
grapes, raspberries, and many shrubs
such as Abelia, Crapemyrtle, Hardy
Hydrangea, Desmodium, Butterfly
Bush, and other late summer and
fall-blooming shrubs. These may be
pruned equally as well in February
or March, but don't put off too much
until spring.
(4) Keep the leaves off jour lawn
them for comport. Mow your
winter lawn as often as necessary.
(5) Avoid pruning (dehorning)
your valuable shade trees. The only
pruning shade trees need is remov
al of the dead limbs, or perhaps
some thinning out of the branches.
