Warn Beer Dealers
Against Price Rise
Edgar H. Bain, head of the Brew
ing Industry's special "clean up or
shut up" committee, called William
ston beer retailers before him in a
special meeting here yesterday
morning and warned them against
tolerating questionable practices to
exist in the business. He warned that
those retailers allowing liquors to
be consumed in their places of busi
ness are subject to lose their licenses,
and urged each of them to support
the law enforcement agencies.
One of the main warnings issued by
Bain had to do with price increases.
"Yoy are subject to a fine of $10,000
if you charge in excess of establish
ed prices," he advised the group.
Most of the Williamston beer re*
tailers were present for the meeting,
but as far as it could be learned no
others were in attendance. The meet
ing was held in Mayor J. L. Hasscll's
office.

ERRONEOl'S REPORTS HEARD
ON MEAT-SHARING PROGRAM
Farmers do not need a permit to
butcher their hogs or other meat
animals, Dean I. O. Schaub, director
of the State College Extension Serv
ice, emphatically emphasized in cor
recting erroneous reports about the
Share-the-Meat program. Neither do
farmers have to have their hogs
weighed before killing them, he de
clared.
"There is much misinformation
and gossip going around as regards
the Share-the-Meat program," Dean
Schaub declared. "Reports from a
number of counties indicate that
many people believe they will need
a permit before they can kill any
animal. Also they have heard re
ports that these permits cost from
$3.00 to $5.00 or more.
"Such reports are entirely erron
eous," he asserted, "and everything
possible should be done to stop such
rumors. There is a possibility that
such reports are being circulated de
liberately."
The Extension director said that
the Share-the-Meat program is a vol
untary one at the present time, and
while farmers will be asked to limit
their consumption to an allowance
set up for the country as a whole,
Dean Schaub says he doubts if the
restriction on consumption will af
fect more than a few farmers on the
basis of average yearly consump
tion.
"Comparatively few of our farm
ers average more than the consump
tion allotment requested of all of the
people," he said
The State College leader said that
the only restriction on farm slaugh
ter of hogs, cattle, calves, sheep and
lambs is where a farmer has been
butchering and delivering animals
for others. In this case the farmer is
restricted to no more than the same
amount of each kinds of meat that
he slaughtered and dleivered to oth
ers in the corresponding quarter of
1941.

The registration reached a climax

A greatly disturbed patron report
ed to the local store this morning
that his book had been lost or stolen.
"It was right beside my pocket book,
but the pocket book was not stolen,"
the greatly upset patron explained.
His claim for another book will be
considered by the county ABC board
and he may or may not get another
one. Persons, convicted of public
drunkenness, or who fail to support
or desert their families, or commit
a crime in which liquor is involved,
or who allow any other person to use

rations withdrawn.
