To restore consumer credit controls and to restrain the crea tion of inflationary bonk credit. 2. To asthoriae the regulation of speculation trading on the com modity exchanges. 3. To extand and strongthen ox port controls. ' 4. To eztond "authority to allo cate transportation facilities and equipment. 5. To authorise measures which will induce the marketing of live stock and poultry at weights and grades that represent the most ef ficient utilisation of grain. 6. To enable the Department of Agriculture to expand its program of encouraging conservation prac-, tices in this country, and to au thorise measures designed to in crease the production of foods in foreign countries. 7. To authorise allocation and inventory control of oeareo com modities which basically affect the met ef living or industrial produc tion. 8. To extend and authorise rent control. 3. To authorise consumer ration ing on products in short supply which basically affect the coat of living. 10. To authorise price ceilings on products in short supply which basically affect the cost ef living or industrial production, and to au thorize such wage ceilings as are essential to maintain the necessary price ceilings. President Truman's appeal to the ipecial session of Congress for emer gency aid to Europe was more than a sail for relief assistance to a hard pressed neighbor. The ? President's message partic ilarly stressed' that: 1. This was an eleventh-hour op portunity which, if ignored, would mean collapse of European countries economically and politically. 2. Soviet criticisms of American action would not deter the United States from helping countries "who, like us, cherish freedom^ 3. The United States' influence in the world today is "unmatched in listpry"?an awe-inspiring condition that, calling for humility, demands assumption of responsibilities, 4. An emergency aid program, vhile carrying France, Italy, and Austria through the winter, Is only preliminary to a long-range recov ery program that will put Europe on ts feet While President Truman's request for emergency funds followed the pattern outlined, in congressional learinga this past week, the White Souse did let it be known that two passages in particular in the address were of prime significance. The first dealt with Jhn unequaled opportunity now facing the United States to lead the world eat of its fears into freedom. Said the Preai ient: "Our people know that our influ ence In the world gives us ?n oppor tunity?unmatched Ut - history ? to conduct our* elves In such a manner that men and women of all the world ?an m?Ve out of the shadows of fear and war into the light of fmedom and peace." The second passage dealt with American reaction to Soviet criti cisms Declared President Truman: "We have found that not all na tions seem to share our aims or ap prove our methods. We regret the. differences which have arisen and the criticisms so loudly expressed. "And yet we cannot afford, and we do not intend, to let current dif ferences with same nations deter our effort to co-operate in friendly fash ion and to assist other nations Who, like us, cherish freedom and seek to promote the pence and stability of the world,'' Capital observers were inclined to view the President's reference to this UUV ? Thanksgiving Service Union Thanksgiving services will be held at the Methodist church Thanksgiving morning at 10 o'clock with Rev. Z. B. T. Cox, pastor of the Christian church, delivering the irmon, "Why Be Thankful?" At a recent meeting of the Farra ville Ministerial association, which sponsors union services each fifth Sunday night, Bev. E. R. Clegg, pastor of the Methodist church, was elected chairman and Rev. E. W. Holmes, Baptist minister, was chosen Prices and Your Purse! The henpecked conlumer, who only a short while ago ,Waa dutifully ab staining from fovrf on poultryless Thursdays, is now being urged to "eat hens to help." s Now that it has been determined beyond cavil that a noasted chicken its lew grain than one pecking around in the barnyard, the next step is to market quickly the backlog of poultry rolled up by the poultrylew Thursday scheme?an idea which no one now seems eager to claim as his own. The Poultry and Egg National Boasd has begun a campaign to cull flocks of 136,000,000 chickens by Jan. 1st, at an estimated saving of thirty -million bushels of grain. It is believed that one hen per family per week would use the 136,000,000 fowls in lew than four weeks. Whether each family can afford such fare is an other question. But isnt it good than someone dis-' covered that the three fowl feast days?Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's?all come on Thursday this year? Provident Shoppers Provident Christmas shoppers who beg-in thinking- sboat their financial needs long before Dec. 24 rolls a round, have salted nwny close to $760,000,000 this year in Christinas Savings Clubs. That's an average of $78.50 per person. Shop and Mail Barly Shop early, mail early) The Post' Office Department has is sued its annual announcement re questing early mailing of Christmas packages. Only this year the request is njore urgent than ever before since all categories' of mail are at volume peak. ft you want your gifts to arrive on time, packages should be mailed during the first week in December and cards not later than the second week In December. Slses^t to 13 I Sock stretchers, those handy gad gets without which your woolen hosi ery would go shrinking by when hung to dry, have a new adjustable fea ture. Made of metal, the stretchers have a variable footpiece that eftends from sizes 9 to 13. Shoes for Fam Women What this country needs are com fortable shoes for its millions of farm women. That's the report of the Department of Agriculture whose clothing specialists say that there simply Isn't a shoe on the market to meet the needs of the ac tive farm housewife. Manufacturers have provided prac-i tlcal, reasonably priced shoes for other groups of women?nurses, Girl Scouts?and for golf, tennis and other sports. But farm women who want shoes for outdoor work gener ally must buy heavy work shoes which look clumsy and are heavy and tiresome to wear. Patent Leather Patent leather shoes-should be giv en special care. Cracks in them fre quently are caused by putting thorn on while they are cold and stiff. It is well to warm them first by rub bing with the palm of the hand be fore donning. Rubbing grease into patent leather is a mistake. To clean it, wipe with a cloth moistened with vinegar. What Prise Barter? Next year's Easter parade will cost its more exclusive participants Just slightly more than Its 1947 counterpart, Better-grade women's" oes ($20 and over) will cost from $1 to $8 more per pair doe to in creased calfskin costs. Men's suits are for a couple of pular-prieed shirt cents above" the Women's full-skirted the new length will be higher, In price at ~ the additional elotl In the meantime, a tell has brought on 1 Change In 1948 fj Auto Tags, Fees i < When car-owners go to bay tbeir 1948 license pistes, they will find that "there've been some changes made." _ For the first time since 1942. next year's motorist will be able to sport two license tags?one on the front ?nd one on the bafk of his vehicle. He will also find that there has been a change in'license plate rates. of a different rate for every, passenger car of different weight, as in'the past, the new li cense fee law, passed by the 1947 General Assembly, -fixes three basic figures?810, $12 and 816 for private passenger vehicles?and a flat 86? fee for taxicabs and other service and "for hire" passenger vehicles. These new rates mean that the new plates for many light or low priced automobiles will cost a "?cw more cents than in the past, while those for the heavier, higher priced vehicles in most instances will be slightly less. Into the $15 bracket fall Cadillacs, Lincolns, and buses and hearses of *R makes. vAlao included are Check er Cab. Dusenberf, Pierce Arnew. Rolls Royee, Stevens Duyrea, and Yellow Cab, all of which are no long ?r manufactured. i'~" * In the-812 bracket are the Buick, Chrysler, Lincoln Zephyr, Packard Mid several other makes which are no longer manufactured, chief of -which are LaSalle, Graham Paige, Frank lin, Hupmobile and -Reo. Into the 810 bracket will fall all jther makes?the Fords, Chevrolet#,' Plymouths, Dodges and Studebakera. The new rates tend to put all takes of cars on a flat fee basis, and ir> Kill greatly simplify lioeraing proce- 8 lures for both motorists and licens- ^ ing officials. I _ Here are a few examples of how ^ .he rates will work: A motorist who owns a 1942 Ford weighing 2,800 pounds pak^|9.80 for Ills 1947 license plates. However, when he buys his 1948 tags he will pay a flat 810 fee, thereby pkytog 20 teijts more. The owner of a 1947 Ford weighing 8,100 pounds paid J10.85 for his 1947 tag. However, when be purchases the *48 set he will 1 pay only 810, thus saving himself 15 cents.. ' .1 The license plate for a 1947 Cadil lac weighing 4,500 pounds cost 815 75 tn 1947. However, next year the plktes will coet $15, thus saving 75 sents. I Registration cards for 1948 will be nailed by December 1 to the State's I 177,553 vehicle owners. Motorists are irged to hold on to their cards, for | lew plates cannot be obtained with >ut presenting the cards. Next year, hey will he of double importance, be muse all motorists must present hem when they submit their cats to ;he State's mechanical inspection ? anes. No vehicle can be inspected WIOTt avw * ? - intil the owner Haa first preaented lis registration certificate. ? The 1948 plates will have orange I etters on a black background. They! iave been manufactured by the to-1 . nates of Central Prison and have! U ready been distributed throughout ^ he State to the" branch offices, , where they will go on sale December ^ L* > * Tags may be purchased at branch 4 jfficea, the nearest to Farmville bo ng the one in Greenville. Peanut Quota Vote Will Be Held Dec. 9 ? ''y m much as 20 per pent up to ^areh 1,1948. Even after that date, secretary can either terminate or acrw the quota in the event of a national emergency. On the basis of 1942-46 crop yields, he acreage allotments for next year vould total some 909,000 acres, as ?pare? W000 acres in 946 and 1,247,000 allotted tor this ,ear- A "reserve" of approximately centVill be set aside in the |948 allotments for new ?taw and for adjustment of old arm allotments. Because of this one per cent re ierve the net reduction of total sl otted acreage in 1948 would amount ? 27 per cent. On a strictly pound tge basis, the 1948 quota is roughly <5 per cent below the 1947 quota igure of 1,268,000,000 pounds. But iverage yield per sere has itw^^ ? th? ?*tent that Agriculture De mrtment experts figure the result ng acreage reduction at appnozi n*tel y 28 per cent. Fundamental purpose of the quota friction, of course, is to prevent he accumulation of excessive high itocks. The quota is set in accord mce with a formula that takes into ?eount the supply and gita. C won. Anderson said the natiaml mar king quota was set on the basis'of he "supply and demand" uituation. He indicated that the reduction night have been larger except for he fact that domestic consumption t fine cured tobacco?used prinei- ? ?lly in cigarettes?remains high, ' Under the AAA control program, aimers are permitted, generally 1*-*king, to market tobacco grown ? the acreage allotted them. Tobac ? g?wn on excess acres is subject o a penalty tax if marketed. The tax 8 40 per emit of the previous year's '?mage market price of the cured obacco.
