Bread Prices And The OP A Reports coming out pf Washington indicate that strong pressure is being applied on congress, by interested lob byists, in an effort to permit the law under which the Office of Price Ad ministration operated to die a natural death on June 30. These lobbyists are being paid to live in Washington and to apply this pressure on congress by certain peo ple and parties who would like to see this nation undergo inflation. We believe that now, five months before the present law expires, is the time for the people of this nation to let congress know the desire of the majority. We can not conceive that the average American, and there are far more of them and any other type, wants to see uncontrolled prices in this country. We believe that far too little thought is expended by the average American on such matters, and still less time spent in letting representa tives in Washington know what the matoritv wanta. It is our belief that if this law ia not extended by Congressional action, and prices are left to be set by manu facturers, wholesalers as well as re tailers, according to prevailing condi tions, that many of us will find the costs of living a prohibitive situa tion. Bread tr iftistantce is called the staff of life, and goodness knows it's used by every human at almost every meal, but how many Americans would find themselves financially able to use bread along with other necessities if the price of a loaf of bread should rise to say 60 cents per loaf. Of course, that seems like a ridiculous figure, when now we pay only a few cents for the item, but multiply that increase, in proportion, to the prices vou nav for other foodstuffs, you can quickly see that your daily bread could be a costly item. The lime has come for us to realize that the OPA was more than a war time bureau that said when we could and could not have a tire, a gallon of gas, or a pound of sugar. It was, and is, an organization which is pro tecting all of us by the control of prices. It is true that costs of liv ing have risen during the past three years, even with OPA, but the in crease has ,not been as great as it might have been had we not had price control. Prices throughout the world, even in countries allied with the U. S. dur ing the war, have gone sky high and the average individuals are finding it very difficult, in those countries, to provide themselves and families with even the bare essentials of life. We urge our readers to think this aitnation throuch and then to write the representatives in the congress to vote to keep price control in eiiect, so long as the danger of wild cat in flation is a menace to the conntrv. vIt Would mean the different of eat ing bread and not eating bread. o May Ease , Strike Situation Th United Automobile Workers Union, which demanded a 30 per cent wage increase, has settled with Ford and Chrysler for 15.1 and 16.2 per cent, respectively. This represents a major contribu tion to the early end of industrial dis putes and eases the tension consid erably. It is likely that the example will be followed elsewhere and that many big plants will get back to pro duction. The settlement refutes the assertion of labor leaders that big business is in a conspiracy to destroy onions. Ob viously, this is not tenable in regard to the Ford and Chrysler companies. '"V , 0 -: Eisenhower Warns Nation General Dwight D.

The Indians counted for 18 field goals and 8 foul tosses to score their points while Chowan hit only three field goals and nine foul tosses. In the preliminary game the Indian Squaws were victorious over the Cho wan girlsj winning by a 22 to 8 score. The entire Squaw squad played during the game and each gave an excellent account for herself while in the game. The Squaws opened by scoring first and continued to hold a lead through out the game. At half time the local girls were leading 13 to 3. Indian Squaws Win From Columbia Girls The Indian Squaws continued to hold their first place in the rural con ference girls basketball league by downing the Columbia girls in their game last Friday. The final score was 42 to 21. The Squaws gained a 10-2 lead dur ing the first period and the outcome of the game was never in doubt The local girls continued to roll up points at the expense of the visitors and Coach Anne Garris, giving the young er players experience, used her en tire squad during the game. The score at half time was 23 to 11 in favor of Perquimans and dur ing the second half the reserves for Perquimans gave a good account of themselves by scoring an additional 19 points to make the Perquimans to tal 42. The Columbia girls counted for ten points In the second half. CIRCLE NO. 4 MEET Circle No. 4 of the Hertford Bap tist church met Monday evening witn Mrs. Tom Mardre at her home. The Chairman?

More Pulpwood Needed In 1946 To Meet uoais A further increase of nearly 1,000,- 000 acres in 1946 crop goals, recent ly annrnved bv Secretary of Aa-ricul- ture Clinton Anderson, were pointed to this week by the Perquimans victory Pulpwood Committee as evidence of the anlartred national demand that will be made this year for paper, paperboard and other puipwooa pro ducts. The new and final goal set by the Department of Agriculture calls for 296,011,000 acres to oe planted wim various cultivated crops. .This com pares with an earlier tentative, figure for 1946 of 295,087,300 acres, ana witn 286,831,900 acres planted last year, "With demands for food holding at peak levels," the committee declared, "the additional pulpwood neeflea just to supply the cartons, containers and other forms of packaging necessary to handle the nation's increased pro duce will soar into thousands of cords. "And thin does not take into ac count the greatly expanded demands by manufacturers other than rood pro censors for nulnwood products, nor does it take into account the growing use of pulpwood in the manufacture of rayon, staple liber textiles ana pias tiea." the committee said. "Farmers have pointed the way to ward a full, balanced production, Mr. Anderson was auoted as saving. "They are ready to do their part in using the great productive capacity of Ame rica to achieve the high standard of living of which we are capable." With more pulpwood production needed in 1946 than ever before in the nation's history if these living standards are to become an actuali ty, the committee stressed the im portance of the recruitment program currently being conducted by the pulp and paper industry and the United States Employment Service to secure new workers in woods and mill jobs, and also emphasized the urgent need by mills in this area for more top quality pulpwood now.
