Windshield Stickers Not Needed
Windshield stickers A", "B",
"C" or ' T" indicating the type
ol gasoline rationing held by
car owners need no longer be
displayed, it was announced to
day by OPA district director
L. W. Driscoll.
This action was taken, he
said, because of the use of en
dorsed, serially numbered ra
tion coupons. The new ration
ing allotments, effective June
II. will not mean more gaso
line for al B' users," he point
ed out. Only those ' B" ration
holders whose essential occu
pational driving needs exceed
their present "B" allotments
will be eligible for the hew
increase, he assertd.
Eligible holders of "B" ra
tions need have no concern
over their expiration dates, he
explained, because additional
rations will be computed from
tables provided by OPA, so that
all applications will receive
their full allotment o-f gasoline
after June 11; regardless of the
expiration date of their present
rtitions.
Applications should be mailed
to the War Price Rationing
Board, together with applicants
mileage record, he said.
"B-6 and "C-6" Coupons Expire
"B-6" and "C-6" gasoline
coupons, the last of which were
issued in March, will not be
good lor use after June 30,
OPA district director L. W.
Driscoll said today. Consumers
who have any of these coupons
that represent an unexpired ra
tion may exchange them -for
valid coupons at their local
boards, he explained.
Service station operators will
have until July 10 to surrender
them to their suppliers for
gasoline or to the War Price
and Rationing board for ration
checks. Distributors have until
J uly 20 to deposit them in their
ration accounts, he said.
Farm Slaughterers File
Farmers in Western North
Carolina who slaughter or have
animals slaughtered for sale as
meat were reminded hy OPA
district director Driscoll that
they must obtain a class 3
slaughterer's permit by filing a
simple form with their War
Price and Rationing Board, be
fore July 1; even though they
may not be slaughtering until
next fall or winter.
A class three slaughterer, he
defined, is a resident operator
of a farm, who sold not more
| than six thousand pounds of
meat, resulting lnom the- slau
ghter of his own livestock, last
year.
Those who sold no dressed
meat In 1944 may register with
their Ration Boards and obtain
j a permit to market up to 400
pounds this year; but no per
mit is required to dress meat for
j the farmer's own home con
sumption, from livestock he
raised, Mr. Driscoll observed.
Simple forms for reporting sales
[ will be supplied to farmers
when their permits are issued,
j he added.
Carly Onions Ceilings t'pprd
The ceiling price for early
onions has been increased 15c
per 50 pounds f.o.b. country j
shipping point, acrording to
Mr. Driscoll.
As a result of this action, the
retail ceiling price of onions
may be increased about one
half cent a pound, he added.
Cabbage Price Control Removed
The recent announcement
taking cabbage off the list of
price-controlled items, was cit
ed today by L. W. Driscoll,
OP A district director, in point- j
ing out the administration's i
policy of lifting controls wher- j
ever they are not required. The
War Food Administration's in
dication of an above-the-aver
age crop in most cabbage pro
ducing areas in 1945, he said,
is evidence that furtfier price
ceilings are unnecessary this
summer. He cautioned that un
expected changes in supply
might require reestablishment
of price ceilings later.
More Wood Froducts
Needed In Pacific
The supply lines of the arm
ed forces in the Pacific are
from 5,000 to 8,000 miles longer
1 than were those in the Atlantic
j and a greatly increased supply
of pulp wood and lumber pro
ducts is needed in the fight
against Japan., says Director I.
O. Schaub of the State College
] Extension Service and chair
man of Governor Cherry's
emergency committee on for
est products production.
"One of the danger spots in
our war against Japan is a
possible failure to properly con
sider. the time and distance
factors involved in supplying
our troops," he explains. "It is
difficult to realize what 8,000
miles means in terms of ships
and supplies.
"These supplies and muni
tions require packaging, ? water
proof paper containers from
pulpwood, and boxes and crates
from lumber. Mountains of such
supplies and munitions are , re
quired to keep our troops at the
peak of their fighting strength.
"Our farmers have made a
fine record during the last six
months in the production of
pulpwood and saw logs but they
cannot afford to rest on their
laurels. They must continue to
step up this production so that
there will be no let up in the
vigorous attack against the Jap.
"Recent restrictions announc
ed by the War Production Board
in the use of pulpwood and
lumber products point the way
toward a sharply rising demand
for these products by the armed
forces."

State Collgee Hints
To Farm Homcmakers
By Kuth Current 1
N. C. State College l
Use sugar sparingly. Instead I
of cake lrostings and fillings, I :
which call for considerable ;
sugar, spread warm cake with j
marmalade, jam or preserves.
Serve jelly rolls, custard-filled
rolls, or Boston cream cake in- ;
stead of frosted cake; Sheet ;
cakes require only half as much j
frosting as layer cakes. ;
Fill layer cake with chopped i
dried fruit, rich in natural ;
sugar, mixed with nuts, and i
moistened with honey or corn (
sirup. Make steamed dried i
fruit into fruit whips, or fill- ,
ings for pies, turn-overs and |
tarts. Instead of sugar in the i
center of baked apples or pears,
fill with raisins and corn sirup i
or honey. ? 1
Serve fresh fruits often as
dessert. Fruit salad may take
the place of a sweet dessert.
And add a bit of salt to |
frostings, pie fillings and pud- ;
dings to accentuate the sweet
ness.
Less sugar is needed to sweet
en cooked fruit if sugar is ad- ,
ded -after instead of before
cooking.
Use honey or maple sirup in
stead of sugar to glaze sweet
potatoes or baked ham; to
sweeten baked or soft custard;
and with nuts to make sauce
for ice cream. Cornstarch or
tapioca cream pudding may be
made with half the usual mea
sure of sugar if a tablespoon
of sirup is put in the bottom
of each serving dish before fill
ing with pudding.
Jar rings for home canning
this year will have better seal
ing quality and less tendency
to impart off-flavors to food.
However, home canners are ad
vised to continue last year's
recommended practice of boil
ing rings 10 minutes in one
quart of water containing one
tablespoon of soda for each
dozen rings and then rinsing
in boiling water.
Keep Laying Flock
Cool During Summer
When the temperature goes
up and egg production in the
laying flock goes down, the
poultryman can help his hens
to hold better production by
providing cool houses and con
trolling external parasites, says
C. J. Maupin, Extension poultry
specialist at State College.
Insulating laying houses or
having a double wall arrange
ment is the best method of
providing lower temperature in
summer as well as warmer con
ditions in winter. But, since
many poultry houses are not
constructed in this manner, the
next best bet is to have suffi
cient windows or doors to pro
vide good circulation of air. It
is especially good to have cur
rents of air near the floor.
Some poultrymen find it
profitable to have portable sec
tions in the ends and back of
the laying house which can be
removed or lowered on hinges
to provide more circulation of
air.
One of the newer ideas for
poultrymen having larger flocks
is to build a special type range
Shelter or shade shelter for
laying hens in summer months.
Hens may be moved to such
houses near the end of their
laying year so the regular lay
ing houses can be made ready
for the early hatched pullet

ester Tinker and his organiza
tion in cooperation with Mr.
Phillips personnel will provide
the teaching staff.
These boys will learn how
to manage their timber crop dn
the farm to the best advantage
for iontinuous income. They will
learn how to control forest fires
which destroy timber values
collect pine cones, extract seed
and raise their own sedelings
to be transplanted on idle or
worn out farm land; estimate
the value of their timber crop;
and by actual training in the
woods learn how to select and
judge the trees which should
be cut for various forest pro
ducts such as fuelwood, pulp
wood, ties, veneer blocks, poles
and piling, and sawlogs.
The pulp and paper industry
is the youngest wood using in
dustry in the South but it rec
ognizes its dependance upon a
continuous and available supply
of wood to support its invest
ment of approximately $250 000 -
000 in plants. Likewise wood
the basic raw product, is nec
essary to continue employment
of many, thousands of persons
engaged in the woods .and mill
operations. At such time as
these forestry training camps
can operate in each southern
crop. It will also make a good
house for surplus pullets, cock
erels, or hens.
With the first hot days of

true of mites, and they should
be controlled when the first
ones appear, because those lit
tle insects have a way of mul
tiplying very rapidly, "it is a
good plan to play safe by spray
ing all roost poles and roost
ing area whether mites have
been found or not," Maupin
says. A home-made spray mix
ture may be made with equal
parts of used motor oil and
kerosene.
Laying hens should be ex
amined for lice several times
during the year and be treated
whenever the lice are found.

year will have a better under
standing of how to manage
their timber crops. This influ
ence scattered throughout the
rural communities of the South,
according to the Southern
Pulpwood Conservation Asso
ciation and its member mills,
will have a beneficial effect
in improving forest practices
to the betterment of the tim
ber owners as well as all wood
using industries.
one of the few prisoners who
were lucky in many ways, that
while the food and living quar
ters were almost unbearable at
times, he w.as not mistreated
and starved like many of the
prisoners In other camps were.
