Regulations For Overseas Mail Is Like Last Year's Many Parcels To Be Sent Overseas Again ^ T h is Year; Early Mailing Is Assured ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 10?It's time to be thinking of mailing Christmas packages overseas. Army postal officers at Headquarters Fourth Service Command reminded the public that even though hostilities have ceased on all fronts, there are still many thousands of Americar troops who will spend theii Christmas in foreign lands anc these troops will be looking forward to packages from home. The regulations governing the mailing of overseas Christmas gifts to Army personnel remain the same as last year .... they must be posted between September 15 and October 15 .... one package a week may be sent (without a request) by any one person to the same serviceman ... the usual restrictions ai to size and weight of Christmas parcels applies?not more than fifteen inches long or more thar 36 inches in length and girth combined and maximum weight five pounds. Most stores have a stock of boxes approved by the War Department for overseas gift shipments. The Army asks that gifts be selected which a soldier is unlikely to find in the particulai area in which he is situated and xl L i ntnvioQ TV t C 1T1 to rememDer uiat mi?uiva??, ... flammable materials (such as matches and lighter fluids) and perishable matter are unacceptable for mailing. Families and friends of mer stationed in the China-Burma Theater, India Theater, the Middle East, or on the Pacific Islands are urged to avail themselves ol the early mailing dale to insure receipt of Christmas presents b> Christmas Day.

O. Bennett, Chairman of the Brunswick County AAA Committee .urges producers to endeavor to get the price that will meet the minimum stabilization price that will make ! them eligible to leceive these payment. C. O. Bennett said that, "it1 appears that there are some feed-| ; ers in the county who do not i know that they are eligible for | these payments." Explaining the j requirements for eligibility, C. O. Bennett defined a "feeder" 8SJ any person who has purchased or raised a beef animal and sold such animal during the period May 19, 1945, and ending June ^ 30, 1946, to a legally authorized , slaughterer for slaughter or to another person who has delivered such animal to a legally authoriz- 8 ed slaughterer for slaughter with- k in 29 days after such sale but not later than June 30, 1946. The ^ payment rate is 50 cents per / " nundredweight for sales of good . j and choice cattle weighing 800 t pounds or more. 1 \ The AAA Chairman pointed out 5 the importance of producers keep- ~ - ing supporting evidence such as > invoices, sale tickets, account < - sales showing the date of sale,1 name of buyer, point of sale, num. ber of head, total live weight, i r price received and the name and; C address of the slaughterer to I whom the animals were sold for .! slaughter. "Such evidence," he ij added, "will be required by the II Brunswick County AAA Commit-1 ! tee before payments can be auth-! , I orized." EI The Beef Cattle Production j : i Payment Program was designed j : I to encourage greater beef pro[1 duction by giving the feeder high j er returns from feeding more | cattle and feeding them to heavier ? weights and to promote better I i distribution by directing more! cattle to authorized slaughterers ! who sell through regular trade 1 | channels. Mr. Bennett urges feeders to | I keep in close contact with the j j Brunswick County AAA office for' ( any assistance that will enable j them to receive the subsidy pay-! j | ments on their beef cattle.

This plan, which gave the children one brief holiday, with no school on Friday, resulted from the very bad condition of country roads over which many school buses have to travel. Some of the bus routes were said to be Impassible for the heavy buses. Reports received Monday evening were that all schools had a good opening that morning, although roads were still bad and many students were unable to reach school. With not all of the schools having reported a list of their teach ers tnus tar, 11 seems uiui. uiere are still two or three teachers short in the county. Shallotte reports a full list of teachers, as follows: Principal, Henry C. Stone, Shallotte; Mathematics, Mrs. Edna W.

But the average fisherman contributed 47,000- pounds. In 1944 both averages were higher, but the fisherman maintained his lead with 65,000 pounds. Commercial fishing still is a wet and salty business, but it has been a rich business in the war years, with members of fishing crews earning as much as $11,000 annually. The industry is organizing and -aims to double American fish consumption by 1955." Incidentally, three or four days before Mr. Sherrill sent us the above, we had a letter from E. T.
