freeze On Peanuts
Is Replaced By OPA
Ceiling Regulation
Prices Established to Be
Paid For Farmers’
Stock
Maximum prices for peanuts—from
the farm right down to the consum
er —have been established by the Of
fice of Price Administration in a
regulation which, while putting the
first price control on peanuts at the
farm level, replaces a temporary
December “freeze” at other levels,
according to information received by j
the Growers Peanut Cooperative, Inc.,
I agency which handles the peanut pro- j
I gram in the Carolinas, Virginia and
Tennessee.
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.

Bonner Distributing
Valuable Pamphlets
Pertaining To Food
Congressman Herbert C. Bonner
has for distribution in his district a
16-page booklet entitled “Victory
Gardens,” which may be had by
simply dropping a card to his office
in Washington, D. C.
“We all realize the necessity to
produce all food possible this spring,
summer and fall, both for home and
foreign consumption,” says Mr.
Bonner. “With the present rationing
of canned food, and more to come
next winter, everyone with available
space, whether living in town or in
the rural districts, should plant a
garden.”
Mr. Bonner also has two other bul
letins pertaining tq drying foods for ■
victory meals, and home canning of ;
fruits, vegetables and meats, which ,
he will be glad to send to anyone
who is interested in securing them, j
He urges every man, woman and child
to produce all food possible this year ;
and believes the booklets at his dis- i
posal will be of benefit to every per- ■
son in his district.
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.

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.
Remember this: One stitch in time,
According to the age-old rhyme,
Will save for you the loss of nine
And this is true in any line.—H. N. S.
