NEW FOOD PRICE
ADJUSTMENTS
To allow food processors upward
adjustments of their maximum
prices because of wage increases,
the Office of Price Administration
has amended food regulations cov
ering canned fruits and vegetables,
frozen fruits, berries, and vege
tables, preserves, jams, jellies,
pickles, pickled products, and ap
ple products. OPA estimated that
increases at retail will run not
more than one cent a can or, in
the case of frozen fruits, one cent
a pound. There will be no in
creases in prices civilians pay for
tomatoes, peas, snap beans, corn,
peaches, and pears.
TIGHTENS RATIONING
REGULATIONS
As a further move to stamp out
the black market in gasoline, OPA
has ruled that any local board or
special hearing officer, after a
proper hearing and a finding that
the tire or gasoline regulations
have been violated, may not only
revoke a gasoline ration, but also
may prohibit the use of gasoline
in the violator’s possession which
was obtained as part of the ration
CIVILIAN MEAT SUPPLY
About two-thirds (67 percent)
of the United States supplies of
meat available for all needs in
1944 has been allocated to U. S.
civilians, according to the War
Food Administration. This alloca
tion will allow about the same per
capita civilian meat consumption
in 1944 as in 1943. On a dressed
weight basis, it is equivalent to
approximately 132 pounds per
capita for the year compared with
the pre-war 1935-1939 average of
about 126 pounds.
I PRICE RISE IN '43 WAS SMALL
At the end of 1943, the general
level of prices in wholesale mar
kets was two percent higher than
at the close of 1942, and the prices
of staples that families buy in re
tail markets for everyday living
were up by about three and one
half percent. This price rise was
smaller than in any year since
1940, according to Frances Per
kins, Secretary of Labor.
OPPORTUNITY FOR VETERANS
Returning war veterans may en
ter virtually any of the 30,207
apprentice training programs in
the United States. Age restrictions
and other limitations have been
especially lifted for veterans in
many apprenticeship standards so
they may obtain training for skill
ed work, according to the War
Manpower Commission.
LEND-LEASE FARM
MACHINERY
Less than 3 percent of the
United States production of farm
machinery went for Lend-Lease
between March 11, 1941, and No
vember 1, 1943, according to the
President’s thirteenth report to
Congress on Lend-Lease opera
tions. Allied need for farm ma
chinery was increased because of
military demands. American Fly
ing Fortresses now use airfields
which four years ago were among
Britain’s best farms thus necessi
tating reclamation of marshes and
rough hill land for farm acreages.
When Australia was threatened by
Japanese invasion in 1942, thous
ands of Australian farm tractors
were conscripted for construction
of military roads and airfields.
Moreover, British and Australian
farm machinery manufacturing fa
cilities early in the war had been
converted to ordnance production.
CONTINUE HOG PRICE
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments in hog support
prices, which have been in effect
in numerous markets during De
cember, will be continued until
further notice, with minor excep
tions. At any markets where no
adjustment of the support level
has been announced, the support
price shall be one dollar per hun
dredweight below the maximum
price in effect at such markets on
November 29, 1943, under regula
tion of OPA.

Oakland Boy Drinks
Oil Instead Of Water
By MRS. LEE NORTON
Billie, small son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jerry Moore, drank by mistake a
cup of kerosene oil for a cup of
water, which made him quite ill
temporarily. No serious results
followed, however, since he im
mediately became nauseated,
which proved to be to his benefit.
Here’s our first aid advice: Never
leave anything around that a child
should not handle, as all chillren
are inquisitive.
Among the New Year’s gifts we
received was a beautiful home
made cake presented by Mr. and
Mrs. Dan Reid and was greatly
appreciated. All who sampled it
pronounced it excellent.
With fighting going on all
around them, two overseas service
men, Lane Sanders and C. W.
Fisher, remembered to send sea
son’s greeting to their Grandmo
ther Norton, which she greatly
appreciated.
Mrs. Belzie Nicholson is spend
ing some time at Sapphire with her
daughter, Mrs. James T. Harrison,
and Mr. Harrison.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sanders and
Mr. Bumgarner, of Dandridge,

the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
I. S. Sanders.
Mrs. Mary Burgess and Gus Gal

sisters, Mrs. Fowler and Mrs. Fos
ter, in Brevard.
A number of our people remain
on the sick list and a few more
were added last week, among
whom were Mrs. Vess Chandler
and Mrs. Lee Norton.

LEASING OF BUS
LINE IS OPPOSED
Kiwarns Club Joins Others
In Fighting Lease Of
Hendersonville Line
Brevard Kiwanians, in their
meeting here last week, unani
mously went on record as opposing
the lease of Greyhound franchise
Brevard to Hendersonville to an
individual operator.
A resolution was passed during
the business session of the club
decrying the move which would
allow the City Bus company of
Hendersonville to take over opera
tions of the highly important line.
It was pointed out by members
of the club that the small operator
who is seeking the franchise lease
had small and inadequate equip
ment, and that to permit such
operations would be a distinct
backward step to the county and
town, not only from a tourist
standpoint but for comfort to
home people as well.
, Members of the club also prom
ised to attend the hearing which
will be held before the Utilities
Commission at a date to be an
