EGG PRODUCTION
GOAL IN COUNTY
14 PERCENT IIP
Poultrymen In County Urged j
To Increase Production
This Year
Transylvania county poultrymen
are asked by the government to
produce approximately 289,000 doz
en eggs this year, 14.2 per cent
more than in 1942, as their share
in the Food for Victory program,
the National Poultry defense com
mittee estimated yesterday.
This county goal, which is based
on the percentage increase sug
gested for North Carolina by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
can be reached if adequate sup
plies of labor and feed are avail
able, declared Committee Chairman
Hobart Creighton,
“Poultry farmers are now work
ing harder than ever in all-out
war production,” Creighton said,
“continuing the fine job they did
in this county last year by pro
ducing approximately 236,000 dez
en eggs to help supply civilian,
- military and lend-lease needs. Al
so, two developments during last
year have resulted in larger laying
flocks on most farms teday:
“First, egg prices as shown by
purchases of the A & P Tea Com
pany, one of the largest buyers
which paid $27,000 in North Caro
lina last year for 90,000 dozen,
were so favorable that farmers
saved an unusually large propor
tion of potential layers. Second,
conditions in 1942 were good for
raising pullets, as Fall weather
was generally mild and the aver
age hatching date was early.

MANAGERS and personnel di
rectors will tell you that regular
rest-pauses plus the refreshment of
ice-cold Coca-Cola increase con
tentment in their plants. Thus
production is increased. A
pause for Coca-Cola is one
of the little things that
brighten a busy day.
Coca-Cola has some
thing all its own in goodness.
More than just quenching
thirst, it brings a happy after
sense of complete refresh
ment. The only thing like
Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola, itself.
A breathing spell, a rest-pause arffi
ice-cold Coca-Cola. Contentment
comes when you connect with a
Coke.
The best
is always the better buy!

DON’T TRAVEL
UNNECESSARILY
To relieve crowded trains and
buses, residents of North Carolina
are asked not to make unnecessary
trips. OTD has defined trips by
bus, for the following purposes as
non-essential: (1) To other cities
to visit friends; (2) Home for the
week end; (3) Sightseeing; (4) To
the theatre, races, or other places
of amusement; (5) Any social
travel o| travel for pleasure; (6)
Travel merely for the sake of go
ing somewhere.
VICTORY TAX COLLECTIONS
The Victory tax, which to date
has been withheld from wages and
salaries, above exemptions, at the
rate of 5 per cent, will be included
in the 20 per cent withholding
plan provided for in the current
Tax Payment act, on or after July
1. Total Victory tax collections as
of June 5 were $682,382,523.20.
STICKER FOR RATION-FREE
SHOES
North Carolina shoe dealers
must put an official OPA sticker
on shoes that are to be sold ration
free because of damage by fire,
water, steam, or other accidental
cause, the OPA has announced.
The purpose of the sticker is to
protect the customer against black
markets in shoes.
BARBED WIRE AVAILABLE
Approximately 20,000 tons of
barbed wire with extra long barbs,
made for military purposes, will
be used to meet a shortage of
barbed wire on farms, according
to WPB. The action is part of the
Office of Civilian Requirements
program to make needed supplies
available to farmers.
USED CAR GAS RATION
Any North Carolinian purchas
ing a used car may qualify for a
gasoline ration to operate it, even
though he is unable to get a tire
inspection record from the pre
vious owner, if he can satisfy the
local board that (1) No tire in
spection record ever was made for
the vehicle, or (2) The buyer had
been unable to get the record from
the previous owner after diligent
attempt.
LUMBER FOR FARMS
Five hundred million board feet
of softwood lumber have been
made available for farm needs
under certain conditions. Prefer
ence ratings may be no higher
than AA-2. Ratings may not be
assigned for lumber to be used
in construction or repair of dwell
ings, or in construction subject
to the provisions of Conservation
Order L141. Farmers apply to the
War Production board on form
GA-201, lumber dealers on form
GA-202. This order is good through
September 20, 1943.
INCREASE IN FARM
MACHINERY
A new farm machinery and
equipment order (WPB-L-257)
sets up quotas based on the actual
needs of farmers for machinery
and equipment as determined by
the War Food administration. The
order, which becomes effective
July 1, permits uncompleted quo
tas under L-170 to be produced in
addition to quotas hereby estab
lished.
WOOD IS CRITICAL
Because otherwise there will not
be enough containers to pack all
of next year’s fruit, vegetable, egg
and poultry production, the State
Food Distribution administration
is asking all North Carolina re
tailers, food processors and house
wives to save every wooden box,
crate, basket, hamper and barrel.
The wood shortage makes this ne
cessary, FDA says. Housewives
may turn in the containers to their
nearest retailer. FDA subcommit
tees have been set up throughout
the State to conduct educational
campaigns explaining the neces
sity of saving and turning in the
containers.

NO MORE ELECTRICAL
REFRIGERATORS
The WPB offices in this state
say that they have been swamped
with requests for purchase orders
for mechanical refrigerators. How
ever, WPB says that North Caro
linians might as well relax, be
cause there are no mechanical re
frigerators available to civilians.
A few thousand were released
from the stockpile held for mili
tary purposes, but there were two
or three applications for every
icebox, and supply has long since
disappeared. There are plenty of
ice boxes available, and no pur
chase certificate is needed for
them.
TOOLS FOR FARMERS
Wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers
and other mechanics hand service
tools should be more generally
available to North Carolina farm
ers and home mechanics as a re
sult of an amendment of Order
E-6 by the War Production board.
The amended order, which is de
signed to bring about a better
distribution of these tools among
consumers, sets aside from 20 to
25 per cent of the monthly pro
duction of specified tools for com
mercial distribution.

JACK TRANTHAM
ASSUMES OFFICE
LION PRESIDENT
Service Club Ratifies Vote
Of Directors On Com
munity Chest
Jack Tranlham, prominent local
merchant, was inducted into the
office of president of the Brevard
Lions club by his predecessor, Ed
H. McMahan, at the regular meet
ing held at the Bryant house last
Thursday evening.
Others who assumed office at
the same time were: D. J. Luther,
Burt Loomis and Charles Lively,
vice presidents; Lloyd Hughes,
Lion tamer; Alex Patterson, tail
twister; W. A. Balcomb, John A.
Ford, George Massey and Carl
Hardin, directors. Loins Balcomb
and Ford, who were absent, were
holdovers.
On motion by Lion Hardin, the
club voted unanimously to ratify
action taken by the board of di
rectors to the effect that the club
take the initiative in organizing a
community chest in Brevard and
Transylvania county. Contacts will
be made with other organizations
in Brevard with a view to enlist
ing their support in this enter
prise, the object of which is to
assure adequate financial support
for deserving charities and other
undertakings with a minimum ef
fort.
Progress Cited
Before obligating his successor,
retiring President McMahan spoke
of the pleasure it afforded him to
serve the club during the past
year. He declared it was a “mis
take” to elect him at the begin
ning of what he described as a
difficult year. However, progress
had been made, he stated; the club
lost 14 members but showed a
gain of 20 for the year, which may
make the club first in district 31A
in membership gain. Other achieve
ments of the club were listed,
among them the eyesight conserva
tion project and participation in
numerous war drives.
Lion Trantham, the first presi
dent of the local club ever to be
elected unanimously, spoke partly
in humorous and partly in serious
vein. He said it was “impossible”
for him to live up to the standard
set by Mr. McMahan and other
presidents and asked the aid of
the members in assuring a pro
gressive administration.
Ralph Smith was introduced as
a new member of the club, Irwin
Schranz of 420 S. Caldwell Street,
city, was a guest of Lion Frank
Kerber.
Several Brevard Lions are plan
ning to attend the annual state
convention in Winston-Salem Sun
day and Monday.

In The "Land of Waterfalls"
It is a pleasure to welcome to this moun
tain land of enchantment the host of
summer visitors and campers that are
now arriving from all parts of the nation
to enjoy a vacation such as only this
favored region affords. Our government
has impressed upon our people the ne
cessity for vacations in wartime and it is
gratifying to us to reflect that so many
people who have visited Brevard elect
to return here in spite of wartime incon
veniences.
Brevard has many attractions as a place of permanent
residence. Among these are its equable climate, the
year round opportunities for wholesome recreation, the
hospitality of the people and the business possibilities
grounded on sound economic conditions. As a result
of these and other factors, many people who visit Bre
vard choose to make it their home.
Contributing in no small measure to the well-being of
our citizens is the high quality of milk we make avail
able through our numerous outlets . . . milk of such a
superior quality that its butterfat content measures
about a third more than the law requires.
