ERWIN And FRANCES McKUSICK Washington?The Independent businessman won two important decisions in Washington last week ^ftiich should make the "little fellow" heave a deep sigh or relief, roll up his shirt sleeves and settle down to the prospect of "back to normal" or better business. As usual, members of the North Carolina congressional delegation were not caught nanninc nvpr the nlierht nf the rr?o w r?o? little businessman, and partially because of their efforts, at least, things have been done. One of these victories directly affects only one type of business: the meat packer who sells only within his state. However, the final passage of the bill allowing Federal inspection for intrastate selling meat packers indirectly aids the farmer, the employees at the meat packing establishments, and Uncle Sam. Under the provisions of this bill, the Federal Government will accept state certificates of inspection, or will send its own inspector to pass on the meats. This means that North Carolina packers may sell their goods to the various military camps within the state without haying to send them out of the state for inspection. Obviously, the government benefits from this new measure, as it will not have to pay the j additional cost of transportation out of the state and back again. It also helps to cut down on the heavy transportation borne by railroads. Representative Harold D. Cooley, member of the House Agricultural Committee worked tirelessly on this measure. He was fully backed by other members of the delegation who saw that passage of the bill would be a^ Godsend to small meat packers throughout the State. The other victory for small business lies in the amendment to the "Back Door Trucking" order which formerly required that all trucks delivering merchandise must be assured of a 75 per cent of capacity return load before they left the home plant, if their destination was more than 15 miles away. Last week Congressman John H. Folger, John H. Kerr, Harold D. Cooley and William O. Burgin frantically protested to the War Production Board against this order, which "was to be effective June 1. They explalrred: its enforcement would result in an epidemic of. bankruptcies of small manufacturers throughout the state, or at best, the closing ?c ilnAfc Tf tnnlr thom nnlv U1 tiiCll UV/UIO! ai/ i/wa- vmwk* v * a a day to persuade the WPB that the effective date of the order should be deferred until July 1, giving the officials in that agency an opportunity to amend the order. On Thursday of last week, John C. Baskervill, Secretary of the Lenoir Chamber of Commerce and former newspaperman came back from the Office of Defense Transportation with a happy smile and the announcement that the ODT had assured him the order would be definitely amended to allow the continuance of trucking for the small manufacturer. Mr. Baskervill believes some zoning plan will be enforced, extending the mileage in which a' truck may travel without the "return load regulation" of from 50 to 100 miles. Mr. Baskervill was particularly concerned about this order, and therefore correspondingly pleased with promises of amendments because this mandate constituted a serious threat to Lenoir furniture interests. Be""""o rif thp lar.ir of convenient Uauov ua v?*v _ rail facilities, the Lenoir furniture and hardware manufacturers have their wood brought in from the forests, from distances more than 15 miles away, by truck. * Senator Josiah W.

HOOPER JOINS NAVY IN MASS ENLISTMENT SUNDAY In the nation-wide Remember Pearl Harbor enlistment in the Navy Sunday afternoon, Thomas Leon Hooper of East Laporte, took the oath, along with a large number of others, at the city auditorium in Acheyille. The occasion was the end of the* first six months since the treacherous Japanese attack upon Pearl Harbor. In speaking of the enlistment, Chief Signalman C. J. Rhinehardt stated: "Twenty-nine men from Western North Carolina were sworn into the U. S. Navy last Sunday in Asheville as a part of the nation-wide "answer to Pearl Harbor Day."

R. Enloe, chairman of the Rationing Board stated today that all persons who did not have the opportunity of registering on the two days of regular registration can register with the Rationing Board and secure the allotment of sugar. . It is essential that as great a volume of the products of field, garden, and orchard be conserved this year as is possible. The amount of sugar for preserving and jelly making is ridiculously small, it is observed, being limited to one pound per person, which would provide approximately two glasses of jelly per person and practically none for preserving purposes. However, it^ is pointed out, the supply for canning fruits will be ample, if conservatively used; and the housewives can can the fruit juices, and make their jellies as they are needed. Mr. Enloe wanted it made clear that all persons who did not register for sugar for canning can still do so with the Rationing Board. fz ROGERS IS MADE CORPORAL IN ARMY if William E.

Wood Will Take Place Of Coal And Oil As Fuel - In view of the present transr\ni*t.nMnn shortage, the Govern ***** ??? ment is suggesting that farmers and people in small towns use wood as fuel instead of coal and oil, where feasible. R*. W. Graeber, Extension forester of N. C. State College, says that the use of wood fuel has great possibilities in North Carolina for the heating of homes, curing tobacco, heating schools and in smaller industries where equipment can. be readily changed from coal-burning to wood-burning. The forester said a ton of dry wood is equal in heat units to about. a half ton of soft coal. Different kinds of wood vary in weight from about one and onehaft to more than two tons per cord. 'The maximum heating results are secured from well-seasoned or thoroughly air-dried, wood," Graeber said; ""Such wood will then contain about 15 to 20 per cent moisture by total weight. Fuel wood requires from six months to a year to season properly. If it is intended for next winter's consumption, the wood should be cut not later than this summer." The Extension worker said that farmers, In providing them ?'??? #nnl fnr thfllp TX7 \ T1 t.P T OC1VCO W4W4I X UCA WMWM ft ? use, can place their f woodlands in good growing condition at the same time. "Utilize the poorer species," he suggested; "the dead, crooked, defective and heavy-limbed trees not suitable for commercial use. This thinning out process will give the good trees a better chance to grow into saw-timber size." Farmers who have stacks of wood alongside the road should find a ready market for surplus fuel, "and this is one time that , surpluses will mean extra profit for the farmer," Graeber declared. SEARCH The cutting off of normal sources of supply empasizes the need for continued research to develop new insecticides from native plant sources, says the U. 8. Department of Agricul-. ture. Mrs. W. E. Campbell, Mrs. Charles Allison, Mrs. Claude Allison, Mrs. J. H. Gillis, Mrs. Willie Monteith, and Mrs. Claude Jones. v
