Town And Farm In Wartime (A weekly news digest prepared by the rural press section OWI News Bureau) NORTH CAROLINIANS TO AN SWER ROLL CALL On the farm production front, •%he Department of Agriculture, in * roll call to be held from March * to -20, will call on all North Carolina rural women to pledge •every family to .produce as much •of the home food supply as pos sible. A good .part of farm people, - especially in “one-crop” areas, ■either raise only a small part of •their own garden supply, or do toot raise a sufficient variety of •Iffrceh vegetables tb give a well - ^balanced diet. With canned Seeds limited, it is essential to Improve the diet and health of arural families through home gar ' dens. HOW TO “SPEND” POINTS Here’s a way to spread your {point “spending” as evenly as RKSsible over the full month of IMgrth, says the State OPA, so ;you won’t Tun short toward the send of the month—-divide March into four shopping periods— March 1 through 8 (eight days), March 9 through 16 (eight days,) March 17 through 23 (seven •■days), March 24 through 31 ((eight days). E the 48-point-per-person al lotment is used evenly over thetee •periods, the rate of spending in each period by families of from *two to eight persons works out in Hl-point multiples. For two in 'the family, spend 24 points per 'shopping period, for three, 36 gmlriis, four 48, and so on. DAVIS TO BROADCAST Elmer Davis, Director of the ’Office of War Information, will tbtfgin a series of weekly 15-min '■utse broadcasts on Friday even ing, March 12. "The series will lie broadcast over NBC, CBS and fclue networks each Friday ev ening from 10:45 to 11:00 P. M., Hastern War Time. They will 2>e re-broadcast each Saturday at 1:06 p. b. over the network of the Mutual Broadcasting Company. CEILING PRICES ON PORK METER APRIL 1 On April 1, 1943, ceiling prices ' will be fixed on all retail sales of fresh and processed pork. Bigger markups are allowed to inde pendent stores doing less than $250,000 a •rear than are allowed to largfe and chains. .The tnaximran' prices for five pro-* •ducts are: sliced bacon (derined, smoked) grade A, 48 and 46 cents g>er ‘pound; skinned, smoked ham, •ksetiter slices, 81 and 58 cents; '‘■‘skinned, smoked whole ham, 41 -and 40 cents; center cut pork ^ ■chops' (fresh or frozen pork loins) ‘ 4m8 *il Tfleritor, and salt pork ^"Cdry salt bellies), fresh, cured or frozen, 26 and 24 cents per pound. On and after April 1, a retailer jnay sell only—(1) Pork cuts " given dollars and cents prices un der OPA 336, and (2) pork pro ducts whose prices are fixed un ldar •ganansi maximum price reg 1 ulation, including—Pork sausage, 'Cafimhed pork, pork variety meats ■or offal (including—temple meat cutlets, brains, chitterlings, liver, mUioks, kidneys, tongues, lips, ■snouts, ears, hearts, cheek and liead meat, stomachs, weasand meat and heads), and quick fro Tren nuts which are delivered to Hie re’tailer in individual pack “Sges in wkich he sells them. Ceil ing prices on pork must be past ed in each store beginning Aoril 1, and. UDon request, the retail er must give a customer a receint showing the date, name and ad dress of retailer, name and weieht eT each oork cut sold, and the Wrir>»id for it. NNJOKIE PRICES ON THE RISE North Carolina housewives 'will soon be paying for crack ers, biscuits and cakes. The in crease will be small in the case «df cakes, but on crackers and cookies, where flour is a larger factor in production costs, the increase may eventually be great. Because rising soft wheat prices in the East have put a severe squeeze on flour millers, OPA has raised by approximately 8 per cent the ceiling prices at which soft wheat flour may be sold by Eastern, Southern and Midwestern millers and blend ers. NO CLOTHES RATIONING Acting to spike vicious rumors which have nearly cleaned out many stores in North Carolina ol their clothing stocks, the Office of Price Administration, the War Production Board sfnd the Office of War Information have joined in stating definitely that no ra tioning of clothes is in present prospect. There is no shortage of clothing now, nor of the textiles out of which clothes are made, according to these agencies. The F. B. I. is investigating reports that the rumors are Axis-inspir ed. Timely Hints By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Let’s talk about soup today,— that food which is so nourishing and filling for a cold March day. The wartime cook is wise if she makes soup one of her speciali ties. It can be made from parts of food, which might otherwise go to waste,—bones, and the trim mings of meat and vegetables, as well as the liquid which is left from cooking vegetables. You have been hearing many requests lately, about saving all the fat from meat. But, have you also considered making use of every bone? For instance, bones left from chickens and bones from roasts, steaks, and other cuts, as well as the traditional “soup bone” may be used to advantage. The vegetables, which you add to the bones, contribute some of the needed vitamins and minerals. They also perform another func tion. Tomatoes, for example, will help dissolve even more calcium from the bones. Relatively large amounts of calcium are needed in the balanced diet, and bones, trimmings and peelings can all do their bit toward nourishing ^our family.. Here are some suggestions for patriotic spending and saving during wartime: Pay off all debts except those which are needed for efficient operation of the farm. This does not conflict with War Bond buying, because the money you pay on debts can be used by someone else in buying bonds. It is also sound economy to buy bonds now to help pay for the war, and to help build financial reserves for your fami ly Topia News By MRS. D. M. PUGH Staff Correspondent Misses Doris Blevins and Mary Fields, of Piney Creek, spent Sat urday night and Sunday with Miss Beulah Fields.

Sacks Of Sugar Here Again North Carolina housewives again will buy sugar in the fimi liar five-pound sacks and boxes when sugar ration stamp Numbei 12 become valid an March 16, the State Office of Price Administra tion announced here today. The five-pound ration, how ever, must last from March 16 through the end of May, a period of 11 weeks. Stamp 11, good for three pounds, is valid March 15. Hie reason for validating the coupon for five pounds of sugar, OP A rationing officials explained, is twofold. It will save manpower, —not only in packaging the sugar, but in requiring less handling. It will cut by nearly one-half the actual number of packages that processors, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers must handle, and at the same time reduce the num ber of times sugar must be bought at retail. It also is expected that this change will prevent some of the waste now involved in the present small package sizes. ScottviUe News (Mrs. W. F. Shepherd) Rev.

Efforts will be made to have more pickers manufactured this year. Inflation prices in Italy have brought the price of good farm land to around $2,000 an acre, and poorer land is proportionate ly expensive. \ Directory Of The Church Services SPARTA BAPTIST CHURCH V.

Farm Youth of U. S. Looks to Tomorrow 'T'OMORROW’S farmer* and firm A homemaker* are second to no ichool group in their enthusiasm for investing in War Bonds and Stamps to make sure their future is secure. Through the Schools At War program they .are investing what they save and'earn in War Stamps and Bonds. First evidence ot this is the amount the 4-H Club boys and girls and the FFA boys invested in war savings in 1942 from “Victory Pig” and other projects. A million and a half 4-H Club members put $8,000, 000 ot their own savings in War Bonds and Stamps and, sold $2,500, 000 worth of War Savings to their neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil lion members of Future Farmers ot America invested more than $1. 500,000. Spurred by the realization that the financial welfare ot farm fami lies the next 20 years depends on how wisely they use today's higher incomes from increased food and other wartime production, both groups have set their goals still higher for 1943. These farm youths are building financial reserves, and urging their parents to do the same, for after the-war necessities, to meet finan cial emergencies and to help them get started in college. They’re building reserves today for tomorrow's farm buildings and tor the other things they will need when they're tomorrow’s farmers and homemakers. Dick Reynolds Gives Farm Movies To State College I . n- — . ■ -— A gift of a series of motion pictures on agriculture to the recently organized State College Foundation, Inc., by Richard J. Reynolds of Winston-Salem, has been announced by Col. J. W. Harrelson, dean of administration of the college and president of the Foundation. The moving pic tures, to be made in sound and color, will be produced to aid North Carolina farmers in in creasing the value and output of their farms, particularly during the war emergency. When completed, the pictures will be given to the State College Agricultural Extension Service, for use of this and the other Col lege Agricultural agencies in thier rural education activities. Mr. Reynolds, now a lieutenant in the U. S. Naval Reserve on active Sea duty, completed ar rangements to make the movies during a recent leave. “I am doing this,” he said, “because I think that nothing is more important to the war effort than the production of food. The farmer has a big job, and needs such aid as I believe these educa tional movies can give.” Mr. Rey nolds’ interest in agriculture has been stimulated by the operation of his own large farm on which he raises the typical crops of the Piedmont section. Col. Harrelson expressed appre ciation to Mr. Reynolds for the gift. Dermid Maclean of Winston Salem is making the movies, with the cooperation of the office of F. H. Jeter, agricultural editor of State College, and the technical assistance of Extension specialists and county farm and home agents. SPARTA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH R. L.

Letters To Red Cross From Men In The Service To: Hans Crescent Club S. W. 1. Dear Miss Yonkman, I don’t think that I shall ever forget how very nicely I have been treated on both of my visits to Hans Crescent A. R. C. Club. Let me give my own personal opinion of why it is so nice. 1. Staff personality. 2. Food. 3. That air of cleanliness—and I could go on for pages—it would all mean the same. I like it I can only say "thank Gratefully yours, P. G. Fleming January 2, 1942 Dear Mrs. Dreyfus: Just a note to let you know that we really appreciate the help you and your co-workers at there. the Red Cross gave us. We could n’t possibly have done what we did in our stay If you all hadn’t iso dtuMrfutlly given your time and effort to make so many spec ial arrangements for us. We hope that we will have the opportuni ty to visit London again and con tinue our exploration. You and the Red Cross work are doing a magnifkient service for the sol* diers all over the world and we wish to add our thanks to those of the many who have benelitted by your unstinting labour. We know that yours is a difficult and at times a thankless task, but the boys honestly are grateful for your efforts. Just the word “thanks” and yours sincerely, Fred Stobaeus William Watt (Somewhere in England) Dear Mrs. Mattei: Remember the two boys that had just come back from Russia and stayed at the Hans Cresent Club while in London? Well we are back home again (getting ready for another trip). We would like to thank you for the nice time we had . while at the club and for arranging the tour with Mrs. Rowe far us. Hoping to stop in and see you again, Donald Wampler James Stesan 417 Penn., St. Camden, New Jersey Dear Mrs. Mattei: Arrived back at camp safely after one of the most enjoyable passes I have ever had, thanks I mostly to you i at the dub. 1. ceived the note McCormack and myself had to sit down and drop few more lines before by could be at ease. Our couldn’t have been enjoyed more,” it would have been Imposible. We are looking forward to see ing you again soon but one can never tell in this game. We are hoping anyway. It was quite a let-down getting here at 10:30 Sunday night, but we have got ten back into harness and look ing bade with sighs to our four days there In London. I know you are very busy but I would appreciate hearing from you if you can find a bit of time. I hope you will remember us, the medium built blond serg. and the tall dark one who wore glasses. We will fry to send a photo la ter. All our thanks and sincerest best wishes. Sgt “Artie" Tozar.

And darned if that soldier wasn’t young Charlie Jenkins from Elm Street. You wouldn’t know him after sir months in the Army. Fifteer pounds heavier—straight and tax and real sure of himself. The Army’t done a lot for Charlie—like it hat for lots of other fellows. Now I read how some folkt worry about the soldiers havin' i glass of beer occasionally. After seem’ Charlie, I don’t think there'a cause to fret. Just like Charlie says—"if yon can trust ns with guns and ships and tanks, I guess you can trust us with a glass of beer onee in a while." And I know the beer industry is cooperating with the Army to see that beer is sold in good, dean, decent places. 01943* Brewing Industry Foundation • IVoi BdgarB. Bain.
