Under the regulation effective February 27—the maximum price pel ton, f. o. b. local shipping point, which growers may charge for farm ers’ stock peanuts are: Virginia Type. Grade U. S. Nos. 1 and 2 (classes A and below), $176; Virginia Type, Grade No. 3 (Classes A and below), $168; White Spanish Type, all grades, $169; Runner Type, all grades, $154. The grades and types are those of the USDA. The effect of the maximum price regulation will be to cut prices on .shelled peanuts back from Y\ to lti cents per pound under those prevail ing at the time of the freeze and to reduce prices at the farm level below those which have been existing on the market although the farm maximums, established in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, are above 100 percent of parity. Market conditions just prior to the December “freeze” were unusual and make it impossible for OPA to predict exactly whether the regula with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Neal salted peanut prices, but it is ex pected that there will be no substan tial change in the market as a whole.

Negro Faces Charge Assaulting Daughter William Vicks Held For Superior Court With out Bond 1 In Recorder’s Court Tuesday morn ing were a varied number of charges ranging from drunk and disorderly to the more serious charge of crimi nal assault. William Vicks, colored, faced the latter count, being charged with , criminally assaulting his 14-year-old daughter. Damaging evidence was presented against Vicks, so that Judge Marvin Wilson found probable cause and sent the case up to Su perior Court and ordered the defend- j ant held without bond. As a result of a fracas involving James Drew, William Beasley and James Gilliam, the three were charged with assault with deadly , weapons, including knives and bricks. All were held for the next term of Superior Court, Drew’s bond being $l5O, while a bond of SIOO each was set for Beasley and Gilliam. Janies William Yarborough faced a ! charge of assault with a deadly wea- I pon and being drunk and disorderly. He was found not guilty on the first count, but guilty of the latter and ordered to pay the cost of court. Important Changes In Calculating Price Os Many Food Items Two important changes have been made by OPA relative to control of retail prices of a large list of staple foods such as canned vegetables, sugar, cereals, dried fruit, lard, cof fee flour and other items. The time within which retailers are permitted to calculate new prices on , the basis of new invoice costs has been extended to May 1, 1943. At the i same time all requirements for the filing of reports by retailers operat , ing under this regulation have been , abolished. In the place of such re ports retailers will simply be re , quired to show the calculation for a I new maximum price on the invoice , and to segregate and preserve such . invoices for inspection or examina i tion. Both of these changes will be wel . come news to all food retailers. They have not only been relieved of the responsibility of making detailed re ports but will also be able to calcu - late new prices for items on which there have been recent increases at the processors level. > Miss Goodwin Granted Leave Os Absence Visit In California > Miss Edna Goodwin, fifth grade J teacher in the Edenton Graded > School, has been granted a two , months leave of absence.

Most all Sewing Machines That have passed ten years old, Regardless of their names Or by whom they were sold, Have loosened up somewhat And therefore they make noise That detract very much From the seamstresses joys. Besides in some cases Heavy oil has been tried Which has gummed them up so They ru,n like they were tied, ;So they need a good cleaning And tightening up, too, In a great many cases Just that much work will do. Sometimes they need timing Or their tentions set right So the stitches will not Be too long nor too tight; What ever it may be That sewing machines need. There is a mechanic Who can fix them, indeed. Now, if yours needs repairs, Why not give him a ring? He gives satisfaction Before charging a thing. Call 2-W and ask For Mr. Hal N. Spence, Address: 208—W. Queen St., at present tense.
