OCR To Supply Farmers Needs
The War Production Board’s
newly-created Office of Civilian
Requirements has worked out an
emergency farmers supply pro
gram which will quickly make
avaibable to farmers in the State
some 50 items essential in the pro
duction of food. The procedure
will enable a farmer to buy rea
sonable amounts of needed items
directly from his dealer without
complicated forms. Materials to be
made available under the program
include adjustable wrenches, agri
cultural forks, auger bits, barbed
wire, clevises, dehorning saws,
fence pliers garden hoes, bat
teries, motors, grain scoops, grease
guns, harness hardware, horse col
lars, nails, neck yokes, poultry
netting, cold chisels, hog rings,
knives, and many other products.
Fanners First For Gas
Any person in the State using
gasoline for non - highway farm
purposes wili be given preference
by a recent order of the Petroleum
Administrator. The requirements
of any person who presents valid
E, R, or bulk coupons for motor
fuel for non-highway farm uses
will receive first consideration by
all suppliers. A 10-day inventory
restriction on fuel oil has also
been removed, to permit stocks to
be built up in preparation for next
winter.
Used Inner Tubes Are Ration-Free
Used inner tubes for passenger
car or truck tires can now be
purchased without a ration cer
tificate. All rationing regulations
have been removed on used tubes
to help conserve the supply of
new ones.

Stoves To Be Rationed
Rationing of six types of stoves
(including laundry stoves, but ex
cluding water heaters) will begin
late in June. They include coal or
wood, oil, and gas cooking stoves.
After the plan becomes effective,
you must have a purchase certifi
cate from your ration board to
buy a stove. Certificates will be
issued on the basis of need.
Meat Processed Without Points
Tar Heel farmers and consumers j
are permitted to have meats andi
fats smoked, cured, rendered, fro
zen, packaged or otherwise pro
cessed, by a recent OPA amend
ment to rationing regulations. No
points need to be transferred, but
the processor must keep adequate
records.
Stop Egg Shortage
No more shell eggs can be kept
in storage after June 15, the War
Food Administration says, except
to fill Government contracts, or
for a small “working inventory.”
Putting eggs in storage has been
prohibited since May 20, when all
eggs in storage were reserved for
Government purchases.
To Renew Gas Rations By Mail
The State’s car owners and
motorcycle owners may renew
their present basic gasoline ra
tions (“A” and “D” coupon books)
by mail. The OPA has not yet
completed plans for the distribu
tion, but they will be announced
soon.
More Radio Batteries
To bring relief to farmers in
non-electrified areas of the nation,
production of radio batteries has
been boosted to 425,000 a month,
the Consumers Durable Goods Di
vision of WPB has announced. If
the present rate of production is
continued over a twelve - month
period, normal requirements for
the 3,200,000 radios estimated to
be on farms will be met.
Get 50 Gals. Of Gas Any Time
North Carolina farmers will
benefit from a change made in
Petroleum Administrative Order
No. 4 which allows bulk deliveries
of gasoline in quantities of 50 gal
lons or more, to be made at any
time. This will be particularly
helpful to farmers who drive to
town after work and buy gasoline
in steel drums of 50-gallons or
more capacity.
May Adjust Machinery Prices
In exceptional cases where pro
duction of farm equipment is
threatened, manufacturers may
get an adjustment in their ceiling
prices, OPA said in issuing
Amendment No. 5 to Maximum
Price Regulation No. 246 (manu
facturers and wholesale prices for
farm equipment), which became
effective May 20, 1943. However,
any adjustment of manufacturers
prices will result in a price in
crease to the individual farmer.

LUBRICATION
IS VITAL
Good oil is inexpensive and yet it is more essen
tial than high grade gasoline. It is poor economy to
let diluted oil that contains parts of foreign matter re
main in your crankcase, for such oil cannot do a good
lubricating job such as all motors require to perform
their best.
Let us drain your thinned-out oil and fill your
crankcase with a grade that will lubricate your motor
properly. We are also equipped to do a bang-up
grease job for you. Drive by or give us a ring.

BEEF CATTLE WIN FIGHT
AGAINST BOLL WEEVILS
At Enterprise, Alabama, cotton
growers erected a monument to
the bool weevil but here in North
Carolina, E. L. Ward of Edenton
has built a fine herd of commer
cial beef cattle on a practical basis
which any grower can follow, says
L. I. Case, Extension Animal Hus
bandry Specialist at N. C. State
College.
About ten years ago, according
to the beef cattle specialist, the
boll weevil caused Ward such
losses that he decided to alter his
farming practices and put in some
beef cattle. Ward bought a few
scrub cows, costing from $15 to
$25 per head, and mated them to
a purebred Hereford bull. Soon
his pasture was full of “White
faced” calves and each year he
kept the best heifers for breeding.
Today Ward has 40 Hereford
cows and 35 head of yearlings.
He practices systematized breed
ing and his entire calf crop is
dropped during the months of
March and April. He grows a
large acreage of temporary graz
ing crops for both the winter and
the summer, and this practice
helps to keep his feed costs at
a low7 level.
The Placards Say
Placards seen in various places
“Don’t buy liquor; buy Bonds.
But if you must buy liquor, buy
it here, so WE can buy Bonds.”
“Easy on the SUGAR. Stir like
HELL! We don’t mind the noise.”
“What with gas, sugar, tire,
coffee, can and meat rationing,
civilians are finding it tough. Help
their morale by writing* them
more often.”
GLANCING BACK
AT BREVARD
-♦
Taken from the files of The
Sylvan Valley News,
beginning 1895.
(From the file of April, 1906)
We learn that Brevard is to
have another bank. This is one
enterprise that isn’t needed half
as badly as we need a brick plant,
and will not pay nearly so large
dividends. We have as much need
for another electric light plant or
another water system as we have
for another bank. The banking
business here appears to be well
attended to by the Brevard Bank
ing company — at least we have
heard no complaints.
Tim Barton, of the Cathey’s
Creek section, met with a very
serious accident last week while
cutting chestnut wood for the acid
plant. A limb struck him above
the eye, almost knocking him
senseless. He has been suffering
intensely since the accident and
it is now reported that he will
lose the sight of one eye, if not
both. There was no one with nim
he found his way back home by
himself and has a confused idea
of how it happend.
Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Allison and
children are visiting Mrs. Alli
son’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A.
Hamlet, in Asheville.
Mrs. Jane King is reported quite
seriously ill with pneumonia at
her home a mile east of town.
Her many friends are hoping for
her recovery.
The trial of Josh Crow and Wil
liam Crane created a good deal
of amusement in the court this
week.
Miss Emma Mordecai, aged
more than 90 years, died at the
home of Mrs. Morrell last Sunday.
She spent the last four years of
her life in Brevard. The remains
were embalmed and sent to Rich
mond, Va. for internment.
You remember what a fight was
made against the °tock law bound
ary, and how the tax to build the
fence hurt some people. The law
has been so beneficial to all that
those who opposed are now trying
to have it extended over the en
tire county. Many who opposed
that law are now opposing tax
ation for a free graded school—
and the result will be the same.
When they have learned its bene
fits, they will be working to ex
tend its provisions over the whole
county.
It seems just a little bit strange
that the same element which op
posed the railroad is now opposing
free schools. They have lived to
see the error of their stand on
the railroad question, and will
most assuredly live to bless the
voters who imposed a special tax
for a graded school in Brevard.
The News has stood for every
move that has been made in this
county for better conditions, and
if its editor were convinced that
the special tax for a graded school
would fail in this district he would
sell the plant or move it to some
less benighted locality. But it can
not fail—there are too many chil
dren here who need the elevating
influence of a graded school.
One of the most beautiful wed
dings of the early springtime took
place at the home of T. R. Duncan
on the 8th inst. The contracting
parties were Miss Ethel Duncan
and J. Everett Thomas. Rev. J.
Calvin Hamilton officiated. Miss
Ethel is well known in the com
munity and highly respected by
all who know her. Mr. Thomas is
a young man of gentlemanly bear
ing, embracing most of the ster
ling qualities so much lacking in
the average young man of his age.
Mandy—“What foh yo’ been
goin’ to de post-office so reg’lar?”
Are yo’ corresponding wif some
other female?”
Rastus—“Nope; but since ah
been a-readin in de papers ’bout
dese ‘conscience funds’ ah kind of
thought ah might possible git a
lettah from dat ministah what
married us.”
