mers are finding it possible to sell
all their peanuts on the open mar
ket even though they planted in ex
cess of their allotments If a farmer
had a normal yield of 20 bags per
acre and he planted 10 acres last
year, and this year he planted 12
acres and his yield was only sixteen
bags per acre, he could draw from
his excess acreage and sell the en
tire crop on the open market. At the
same time if his actual production
was larger this year than his normal
yield had been in the past, he is priv
ileged to sell his entire production
on the allotted acres.
The open market was some weak
er today with prices, holding right at
7 cents a pound. No direct explana
tion for the quarter-cent drop could
be had, but it was suggested by
some that conditions were not so
favorable recently and that the per
centage of damaged nuts showed a
slight increase. The weather was de
scribed as ideal for harvesting to
day.
Hog Curing
E. V. Vestal, animal husbandry
Extension specialist, says the same
rate of curing of 2 days per pound
per piece will apply for the 400
pound hogs except for hams and
shoulders weighing over 30 pounds
These should be cured for six weeks.1
After curing, the mixture should be
washed off the meat. Then the meat
should be hung up and smoked to j
taste with hickory chips or hard
wood. Finally, it should be wrapped
in heavy brown paper and sacked
for storage.
Reclaimer
A machine which will reclaim used j
baling wire and make it available
again has been devised by workers
of the University of California Col- 1
lege of Agriculture.

Germans Flee Ahead

state that the French fleet is law and
order unto itself, defying anyone to
approach it at Toulon, the last little
remaining spot now known as Free
France. The fleet has steam up and
its guns set while both the Allies and
Axis vie for its control.
The French fleet has two big war
ships, the Richlieu and the Jean
Bard, the latter having been report
ed damaged in a fire. The fleet also
has about eight cruisers, 40 to 50 de
stroyers and about that many sub
marines. It is worth more to fight for
than against it. Old Marshal Petain
and General Weygand, reported to
have left Vichy for North Africa,
have not yet showed up there, and
just where they are is not known.
No late developments have been
reported in the Solomons area, but
over in New Guinea, the Allied pin
cers is moving ever closer toward
the strong Jap base of Buna, late re
ports stating that the Australians
were within 45 miles of the import
ant stronghold.
Russia, heartened by developments
in Africa and apparently aided by
the withdrawal of strong German
airforce in and around Stalingrad, is
halting the Germans on all fronts
and making some gains in the-Cau
casus.
Mussolini's secret weapon was dis
covered and rounded up a few days
ago. The weapon blocked the British
in their race to overtake Rommel. It
was the helpless Italians who crowd
ed the coastal road to surrender and
delay the 8th Army.
Developments on the entire war
front present a bright picture today,
the happenings of the past few days,
excepting the noble Russian resist
ance, being recognized as the most
heartening of the entire war. But the
war still has its serious implications.
Yesterday, a bill was passed calling
for eighteen- and nineteen-year-old
youths to make ready for service. It
is estimated that there are 500
youngsters in this county who will
be made subject to the draft. It is
possible that the draft calls this
month and next can be filled with
out calling out married men, but
there is a possibility that a few mar
ried men will hear the call before
arrangements can be completed for
drafting the teen-age lads.
A companion of Eddie Ricken
backer, and one of a crew of eight
oh the ill fated plane that was forc
ed down in the Pacific about three
or four weeks ago, has been rescued.
The circumstances under which the
man was rescued indicate that others
are alive.
Oak City Parents
And Teachers Meet
The Oak City Parent-Teacher As
sociation met Wednesday, Nov. 11th,
at 8 o'clock in the high school anjji
torium. A large attendance and
splendid attention and fine support
was manifested. All committee re
ports were encouraging. The Armis
tice program sponsored by the gram
mar grades and directed by Miss
Mildred Manning was especially
good. Mrs. E N. Howell, field work
er for the PTA, gave an interesting
and helpful talk on the present work
war needs of the PTA.
After the program the refresh
ment committee served hot cocoa,
cakes and pickles in the new home
economics building. Mrs. Howell ex
pressed a good feeling towards the
progress of the association. The
meeting adjourned to meet again
during the second week in Decem
ber.

a major effort by the Allied nations
and there is every expectation that
it will be successful in repelling the
planned German and Italian inva
sion of Africa and prove the first
historic step to the liberation and
restoration of France."
The President told the French peo
ple by radio and by leaflets that Am
erican forces were going into their
empire as friends, to "repulse the
cruel invaders who would remove
forever your rights of self-govern
ment, your rights to religious free
dom and your rights to live your own
lives in peace and security. . . We as
sure you that once the menace of
Germany and Italy is removed from
you, we shall quit your territory at
once ... Do not obstruct this great
puypoae." ? _
Lt. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
commander of the American forces
in the European theatre, is comman
der in chief of the Allied invasion
force. Gen. Eisenhower, in a broad
cast to "Frenchmen of North Africa,"
promised not to attack the French
themselves, upon certain conditions.
Those conditions were specific and
he repeated them many times in his
broadcast.
The Navy announced that at least
5,188 Japanese, by actual count, have
been killed in three months of land
fighting in the Solomons Islands. Na
!jyy Secretary Knox reported earlier
that U S. casualties were less than
one-fifth of Japanese losses. The
Navy said 369 Japanese aircraft were
destroyed there in October alone. A
Navy communique late November 8
reported the probable sinking of an
other Jap cruiser and destroyer in
the Solomons and said the advance
of American troops eastward on
Guadalcanal was continuing.
Labor Secretary Perkins reported
that between now and December 1,
1943, industry will need 4,500,000 ad
ditional workers, and of this number
3,000,000 will be women. The Office
of Defense Transportation said 180,
000 women will get jobs in the "tra
ditionally male" transportation in
dustry in the coming months. Agri
culture Secretary Wickard said that
success of the farm manpower pro
gram next year would depend to a
considerable extent on the employ
ment of more women and girls and
older people on the country's farms.
War Manpower Chairman McNutt
said that all major war production
plants soon will be required to
^chedul^^^ei^^anpowe^jjejuire
ments in the same manner they must
now schedule needs for Scarce raw
materials. Official instructions and
forms for bringing about the order
ly withdrawal of workers from war
industries for the amed forces are
now available to wa contractors and
operators of essential civilian activi
ties, he said. Federal labor inspectors
will be assigned to the plants "to
see that labor is being utilized prop
erly," and those plants which fail to
cooperate will be subject to "what
ever sanctions there are available."
The WPB established the control
led materials plan to boost war pro
duction through elimination of all
non-essential production.
Stabilization of Wages
Chairman Davis of the War Labor
Board said the WLB, in stabilizing
incomes less than $5,000, "will act on
the presumption that wage rates pre
vailing on September 15. 1942, are
proper." {The board said, "If a group
of employees has received increases
amounting to 15 per cent in their av
erage straight-time rates over the
level prevailing on January 1, 1941,
the board will not grant further in
creases as a correction for maladjust
ments . . The wage rate inequalities
and the gross inequities which may
require adjustment under the sta
bilization program are those which
represent manifest injustices that
arise from unusual and unreasonable
differences in wage rates."
Rationing
The Office of Price Administration
announced all passenger cars will be
eligible for recapping services or for
replacement tires under the nation
al mileage program effective Novem
ber 22. but motorists will be limited
by quotas to be assigned to ration
ing boards The grade of tire allow
ed in case recapping is impossible
will be determined by the amount of
mileage allowed applicants in their
gas ration books.
Motorists asking more mileage
than the basic ration must furnish
specific detailed information about
their driving requirements on forms
issued by OPA and available from
November 12-15 at schoolhouses des
ignated as registration sites. If the
applicant's essential mileage is more
| than 150 miles a month, but less than
470, he will bo issued a B book. Mile
age of more than 470 miles will war
rant a C book. Holders of C books
must display stickers on their wind
shields indicating why they were
granted extra gasoline.

Department Issues
Appeal For Early
* Christmas Mailing
(Continued trow, page one)
The Post Office Department now
is starting the most gigantic task in
its history?the movement of a de
luge of Christmas parcels, cards and
letters while maintaining the regu
lar flow of millions of pieces of mail
daily to and from our armed forces
all over the world.
Indications are that the volume of
Christmas mail will be the largest on
record. Already in September, latest
month for which figures are avail
able, retail sales had reached a lev
el second only to the record month
of December, 1941, according to the
Department of Commerce. And sales
are rising. Such heavy purchases al
ways presage heavy mailings.
If thousands of our soldiers, sail
ors, marines and civilian friends are
not to be disappointed at Christmas
time, the public must cooperate by
mailing earlier than ever before and
by addressing letters and parcels
properly. The best efforts of the
Post Office Department alone cannot
be enough, in view of wartime diffi
culties faced by the postal system
The public must assist.
About 25.000 experienced postal
workers already have been taken by
the war services. Arrangements are
under way to add thousands of tem
porary personnel to postal staffs, but
this man power is hard to find and
is inexperienced. Facilities of rail
roads and air lines are heavily taxed
by movements of huge quantities of
war materials and personnel. Extra
trucks are almost impossible to ob
tain. Winter weather, hampering
transportation, is beginning.
The free-mailing privilege granted
to members of the armed forces has
raised their mailings some 30 per
cent, it is estimated. Expansion of
those forces also is adding rapidly to
the postal burden.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and Navy per
sonnel overseas with assurance that
the parcels will arrive by Christmas.
The New York post office reports
that in late October, 350,000 such
parcels vwere handled daily in that
office alone.
The Post Office Department is
making strenuous efforts to avoid
such a terrific jam as it faced in 1918
under similar conditions, during the
First World War. It can succeed in
those efforts ? and avoid many
heartaches for its patrons? if the
public will cooperate by mailing
early.

Classification Of
Farm Labor Under
Selective Service
(Continued from page one)
tial farm in the furtherence of the
war effort and farmers so engaged
are not entitled to deferment as
'necessary men.' They may be defer
red on the grounds of dependency if
an actual condition of dependency
exists which the Servicemen's De
pendents Allowance Act of 1942 will
not remove; but occupational defer
ments for such men are not justi
fied."
It is generally believed that the
newly announced deferment claims
will not apply to many cases in this
county It is quite possible, however,
for farm operators to readjust their
acreages and plant fifty per cent or
more of their cultivated acreage to
"essential" crops and establish claims
for deferment.
