MEAT OWNER MAY USE IT POINT FREE RALEIGH, Dec. 2nd—With hog killing time at hand in Eastern North Carolina, Theodore S. John son today announced new simpli fication of OPA rules on how a person may obtain the meat, which he owns, after it is slaughtered, point-free. Johnson said that if a person owns or operates a farm, but does not live on it, he may still receive the meat for the consump tion of his household, point free, if: (1) He actually supervised the raising of this meat by visiting the farm at least one-third of the days during the time the meat was being raised, or if (2) He purchased the animal at least 60 days before slaughter and visited the farm one-third of the days during this period for the purpose of supervision. Johnson added that the super vision of a hog does not require the party to spend one-third of the days at the farm but only re quires that he VISIT his farm one third of the days—the visit may be of very short duration most of the days. Number Of Family Workers Highest In Several Years Raleigh, N. c„ Statisticians with the State Department of Agricul- , ture said recently that although there is a slight decline in the number of hired workers on North i Carolina farms this fall from the number employed in the fall of I 1942, the number of family workers ' is the highest it has been in sever al years. No definite figures were 1 given and the statement was bas- 1 ed on observation made by re- < presentatives of the Statistics Div- j ision. t The greater employment of « members of the farmer’s family l was attributed to dismissal of £ schools in various communities in i the State this year to allow the ' children to assist in the harvest- i ing of the crops; tendency of many farmers to get along as best they could with family help rather r than employ inexperienced labor £ and patriotic appeals to boys and 5 girls to "carry on the fight on 1 the home front."

Stokes, 25-years old, of RFD 1, Roanoke Rapids, is among the men on an Armored Field Artillery unit—now in the midst of a large-scale pre-invas ion program in England—are de monstrating proficiency in fire power, mobility and signal com munication. i nese soldiers pacK cne puncn which is carried by the M-7, the 105mm. howitzer propelled on a medium tank chassis. It was this powerful weapon which the British in North Africa nick-named “the Priest” because of the pulpit-like mount constructed for a 50-calibre machine-gun. As with the men who make up a tank crew, each man in the M-7 crew is trained to take the place the necessity arise. From a distance of several thou sand yards, these Armored Field Artillery soldiers can lay down a terrific barrage on a target they cannot even see. This is done by fire- direction information sent to them by forward observers through an elaborate radio net work. Under certain conditions of battle, the artillery is guided by information obtained by grass-hop per planes, sometimes called “el evated observation posts. Here, igain, radio communication is a /ital aspect of the artillery’s success. Thus, radio, driving,' gunnery, ind use of smaller weapons all day important parts in the pre nvasion program which these sol ders are undergoing in England. Sam Lewis Here Staff Sgt.
