JOIN TNI MARCH OF DIMES FIGHT infantile JANUARY 14-31 PARALYSIS VOL. LXIV. Children Lead In * Polio Drive Which Starts Here Today Letters From Chairman Go Out Today. McDonald Also Writes. '• w Marking the beginning of the Polio Fund campaign here, letters are being received today by Person and Roxboro citizens from the Rev. Rufus J. Womble, local chairman, setting forth the goal here as $2,161 and appealing to citizens for coop eration in meeting it. Similar let ters have been sent by the Woman's Division chairman, Miss Dorothy m Taylor, to church circle leaders ■ ** and other interested women. One of the most cooperative groups in previous campaigns has been found in the public schools, according to the Rev. Mr. Womble. who expects similar cooperation this year. Numbers of children in the past have contributed a dime each, while many have given from twen ty to thirty cents each, says Mr. Womble. Total last year from the Person and Roxboro Schools was close to $l6O, according to chairman. Adults, of course, are expected to give much more, says Mr. Womble who points out that the quota this year is about three to four times what it was last year. The drive will continue through January 31. State Chairman Dr. Ralph Mc- Donald, writing a few weeks ago to Mr. Womble, had this to say re- garding the Person and the State quota: “According to the State Health Department report of November 21, your county has had two cases of infantile paralysis this year. We have set your base quota at $1,961.00, and have added SIOO.OO each infan tile paralysis case, making your final over-all county quota, $2,161.00. This is the procetiuie we have followed In all of the counties. r , epidemic of infaptilf paralysis isl North this summer with over 850 cases reported so far, and with the expenditure of over half a million dollars for medical and hospital care, makes it absolutely necessary that we raise all the funds we can this year. We have therefore set our sights high, and we have every reason to believe | that the people of North Carolina will irespond to this appeal for funds with unprecedented generos- ! ity. “Many of the counties will more than double their quotas. Some will triple the amounts requested, and we believe that every county will exceed its quota by a wide margin." Ceilings Given *on Live Cattle OPA Ordered to Enforce Ceil ing of $lB per 100 Beginning Jan 29 Washington, Jan. 14.—The gov ernment today clamped price ceil ings on live cattle and otherwise a revamped regulations in an avowed . attempt to spread short supplies of quality beef more evenly among consumers. Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinhon ordered OPA to es tablish a ceiling of $lB a hundred pounds, Chicago basis, for live cat tle and calves, effective January 29. He directed that the ceiling be re duced to $17.50 on July 2. Although prices paid for top 9 grades at live-stock markets have' averaged below $lB. individual sales have exceeded that figure. Authority to establish such ceil ings had for months been sought by the OPA, which said slaughter ers who observed price regulations were being squeezed out of business. As a consequence, the OPA con tended, some consumers were get ting more than their share of quai ls .ity meat and others less than their share. Ceilings were opposed by the War Food Administration, some Con gressmen from cattle producing states, and by organized cattle men. • They claimed ceilings would result in lower prices and in a consequent reduction in cattle production. There was immediate reaction for and against the administration’s ; m step and its views. sel for the Retail Meat Dealers Ac tion Committee, asserted it would , “mean a four-cent increase a pound for consumers. A WFA spokesman in the same city said however that the ceiling : would “remove that eternal wonder- i ing” and give dealers an idea what j ■ to expect and enable them to plan ': accordingly. t J. W.

"Our M-lo tank de stroyers were in good positions, so I all they had to do ivas open up on the approaching column.

Now Brodie is Justly proud of this fact and he inquires after his namesakes whenever the parents drop by the j bank. Whether he buys them each a hundred dollar war bond dur ing each drive is more than this writer can ascertain but I would guess that he does. 0 What this writer wants to know is why doesn’t Brodie take the final step to matrimony and—Oh Well—you know what I mean????

"The pilot W'as trying to release our life boat but it was struck, so upon seeing me hanging out of the top of tlie tiny window he came back across the top of the plane and helped me up. We had ammuni tion aboard, and the fire got it so hot that it started going off. The pilot W'as afraid there would be an explosion, so he told me to hit the water —the other men were already in the water. I was wearing a life vest but the pilot didn't have one on. He jumped first, but I hit the water before he did. The pilot was out to the wing tip in a short (Turn to page 6. please) —— —-o ———. Sgt. G. L. Duncan Has Battle Stripes Sgt. Graham L.

He found that it worked. 111 his experimentations, Fulp al lows his tobacco to button out and | then breaks oft all but three or four buttons. He then strips all ! leaves off tlie stalk from the but j tons to tlie level to which he nor ! nialy would have topped the plant. ; The result has been that the to ; baeco matures a few seed pods, matures all the leaves left on the stalk and makes little effort, if any, to put out suckers.
