The VSL, with its emphasis upon car j conservation, is a plan behind which the full experience and facilities of the Chevrolet retail organization can j be marshalled effectively." 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.

IrfmstotStma 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 usual bellyaching and individ ual criticism generally heard at the war price and rationing board were not heard at the liquor registration places. The registration reached a climax this morning when a colored Meth odist minister signed up for his al ; lotment. Following a three-day drought which impressed the populace de spite drizzling rains, the stores re opened yesterday. Sales in the local store amounted to $1,176 New cus tomers seldom or never seen at the counters visited the stores and call ed for their rations. 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 their books are subject to have their rations withdrawn. No rationing system is being plan ned in Virginia, and it is understood that runners have already establish ed a traffic to nearby points in that state.
