NO INCREASE IN BUTTER Butter available for civilian use will not increase during the next few months, although the federal government has discon tinued all purchases of the com modity until April, according to information from OPA and WFA. Current production of butter averages about 16 pounds a year per person, or about half a pound less than in pre-war years. Of this, 3</2 pounds are being sent to our armed forces and our Allies, leaving approx imately 12j4 pounds per capita for civilian consumption. Up to 5 million pounds of butter will be released to hospitals from stocks held by or set aside for the Food Distribution Adminis tration. The butter is to supply the hospitals from November through March, and ration cou pons will be required. OPA AUTHORITY UPHELD Authority of OPA to forbid persons from dealing in ration ed commodities as a result of violations of rationing regula tions was upheld in a recent decision by Federal Judge Arch ibald Lovett of Georgia. Judge Lovett ruled that OPA does have the authority, under the Second War Powers Act, to Is sue such suspension orders and dismissed the complaint filed by a gas dealer who had been suspended from dealing in gas oline for 90 days because of violations of the rationing reg ulations. TO HOLD DOWN FLOUR PRICES To hold flour and bread prices at present levels, the of fice of Economic Stabilization has inaugurated a subsidy pro gram that will enable wheat flour millers to pay as high as parity prices for wheat ? should the market go that highland at the same time sell flout for no more than present celling I prices. Without the subsidy, the Office of Economic Stabiliza tion says, it would be necessary to increase present ceilings on flour, which in turn would force an increase in bread prices. ASK FARM WORKERS TO HELP Farmers and workers engag ed in agricultural occupations have been asked by the War Manpower Commission to give all the time they can spare in the agricultural off-season to pulpwood cutting, lumbering, and other war-useful occupa tions. Farm workers may trans fer to such employment with out obtaining a certificate of availability but, If of military age, must still obtain approval from their local Selective Ser vice Boards. Local boards have been instructed to approve transfers for periods up to four months, and registrants will be continued in their deferred classifications. Workers are ex pected to return to agricultural employment at the end of the off-season, or at any other time the need for them arises. Short ages in logging and saw-mill products make It imperative that workers be recruited im mediately. LIFT PORK, LARD RE STRICTIONS Restrictions on the number pounds of pork and lard made from home-slaughtered hogs that can be sold or given by a farmer to people not living on his farm have been lifted from November 17 to February 17, 1944. The War Food Adminis tration lifted the restrictions to help handle the slaughter and distributions of this year's rec ord hog supply. Farmers are asked . to find out from their market agency or processor whether their hogs can be handled before sending them to market. GIVE WAR STAMPS FOR CHRISTMAS "A Stamp in Every Stocking" ?that's what the Treasury De partment wants for Christmas. To encourage the giving of War Stamps, many ideas for utilis ing them in gifts and decora tions have been suggested: war stamps attached to a cellophane bag containing a small gift; war stamp lapel ornaments; a tiny Santa Claus holding stamps; small Christmas stocking con taining stamps; a baby's rattle wltft Stamps tied on with rib bons; and children's toys, with OPA CUT POINT VALUES Storekeepers, distributors, and others in the food trade may cut point values ..of ..canned, frozen, and dried rationed foods that might spoil if held in stock too lone, OPA announced re cently. However, point values may be cut only if prices are cut at least 25 per Farmer's Income Tax Due Dec.
