County War Board
To Assist In New
Meat Control Plan
—
The Transylvania county.USDAi
War Board has been charged with
two responsibilities under new or
ders issued by Secretary of Agri- j
culture Wickard in a move to
stamp out black market activities,
according to T. J. Wilson, chair
man of the board.
The three orders issued by Sec
retary Wickard provide: (1) that
all slaughterers including farmers
slaughtering for sale and butch- i
ers, must operate under a slaugh
ter permit system; (2) that live
stock dealers must obtain permits
to buy and sell animals for slaugh
ter; and (3) that all federally in
spected meat packers set aside for
war uses what ever percentage of
production is required from time
to time by the Food Distribution
Administration for military and
Lend-Lease needs. The first and
second orders were effective at
midnight on March 31, and the
third order became effective
March 5, he said.
“The County War Board will
be responsible for issuing permits
under the first and second orders,”
the chairman said, “Farmers who
slaughter for sale, local slaughter
ers and butchers will obtain their
permits from the War Board, as
will livestock dealers who buy and
sell animals for slaughter pur
poses.”
He emphasized that farmers
who slaughter for home use are
not required to obtain permits,
neither are they required to ob
tain permits to sell live animals.
He said that the orders also
provide that farmers, butchers,
and packers who go over their
quotas within the next three
weeks, before the order becomes
effective will have these quotas
reduced for later periods. Live
stock dealers will be required to
establish inveritories and keep
complete records of purchases
and sales.
“These orders are not designed
to work a hardship on these per
sons who buy and sell and slaugh
ter animals for meat purposes,”
Chairman Wilson said. “They are
being put into effect to eliminate
black market activities and to in
sure a fair destruction to civilians
prior to the time when rationing
of meat is started.
He said a check on amount of
slaughtering will be maintained
through the requirement that all
wholesale cuts of meat must be
stamped with the slaughterer’s
permit number.
The first national election in
the United States was held Janu
ary 7, 1789.

O Bands**, the
radio program broadcast
over Blue Network every week
night for Coca-Cola, features the
nation’s favorite name bands. Their
names mean something because
their bands have
extra to offer. Coca-Cola got
where it is by offering some
thing that more than quenches
thirst. It brings a delightful
after-sense of refreshment, too.
In ice-cold Coca-Cola you find
delicious taste that sets it apart.
You find refreshment that goes
into energy. Anybody can
a soft drink, but only The Coca-Cola
Company makes Coca-Cola.
It’* natural for popular name* to acquire
friendly abbreviation*. That’* why you hear
Coca-Cola called Coke. Both mean the same
thing... “coming from a single source, and
well known to the community”.
Lines are put in, stages fixed, loudspeakers
hooked up, and rehearsal begins. Soon, the
boy9 in uniform will hear their favorite band
in person just as their families will on their
home radios.
