Additional Meat Likely Eaten At Butchering Time Farm Folk Expected to Eat More Than Quota At That Time -® Raleigh.—Farm people will be ex pected to eat more than 2’2 pounds of meat per week at hog killing time. Elias V. Vestal. Extension swine spe cialist of N. C. State College, said today. But they should even up their consumption on a year-round basis to fully cooperate with the Share the-Meat program, he stated. Vestal quoted the United States Department of Agriculture as say ing: "To avoid waste when large sup plies of home-slaughtered meat are temporarily available, as in butcher ing times, farmers may find it neces sary to consume a larger volume. But as an average for the year, their consumption should be held to the established quotas.” Vestal said that three questions are generally being asked about the meat-sharing program by farm families who are visited by their neighborhood leaders. The first of these is: ‘‘Do I have to buy or ob tain a permit to kill my own hogs, steers and other animals?” The an swer to this, said Vestal, is a posi tive “'No!” The second question usually asked neighborhood leaders is: "Wiry do we have to cut down on the amount of pork. beef, veal, lamb and mutton we eat when we have the largest live MACKEYS Miss Elizabeth Chesson spent Tues day night and Wednesday with Mrs. Reynold Davenport in Plymouth.

W! a Wo-!d Feature* allies are to have all the meat they need. The third question is: "Why don't we ration meat as we do sugar?” The answer to that, said Vestal, is not very complicated either. Ration ing meat is not so simple a problem to work out as sugar rationing. It is not expected that a meat rationing program can be worked out until the early part of 1943. In the mean time, all of us are asked to share meat voluntarily and cut out indi vidual consumption to 2V2 pounds per week. -S' By halting the use of steel drums to pack some 200 products, the U.

Evans To SUGAR CARDS U .1—--- -~j Another appeal is being di rected to those persons whose sons or relatives are entering the armed services, urging them to surrender surplus sugar ra tioning cards. The service man needs no sugar rationing cards, and reports state that there is a plentiful supply of sugar for them. The ration cards left be hind when one enters the serv ice are to be surrendered to the rationing board either in person or by mail. About one out of eight service men are surrendering their ra tion cards. It is quite possible that the lists will be checked, and holders of the idle cards will eliminate potential trouble if they surrender them now.

Can Send Cables lo Soldiers Overseas Al Very Low Cost Standard Form Greetings Through Proper Chan nels Cost Little Atlanta, Ga,,—Did yau know that j love and kisses, Christmas grroi: happy birthdays, birth announce I ments and requests for money mar now be sent, via cablegram, overseas for the small amount of around 60 cents? Well, they can, according to Captain Robert H McCormack, Chief of Postal Section, headquarters, Fourth Service Command. And. con versley, they may be sent this way from “over there.” Of course other messages may be sent also, just as they are brief, and the fixed text is adhered to. Natural ly, the cablegrams must be submitted through the proper channels, and must be properly addressed, outgoing messages showing full name. Army serial number. APO cables address and the routing word. This type mes sage will consist of not more than three of the fixed authorized texts. Thus, for $1.20 you could cable: “Hearing your voice on the wireless gave me a wonderful thrill. Glad and proud to hear of your decoration. Everybody thrilled. Many tanks for parcel.” These EFM cables, except for Christmas greetings, are discounted until after December 27. You may send Christmas messages, however, at any time through December 25, and after the 27th any of the messages or combinations. -j Helpful Pointers On The Labor Problem Cited For Farmers -$> First Efforts Should Be To Make Careful Plans As To Family’s Work -<5> Labor on farms is likely to con tinue to become scarcer throughout the war, says R. W. Shollner, Ex tension farm management specialist of N. C. State College. This will be especially true, he said, on small farms which are not affected by the Government order freezing labor on “essential livestock farms.” "There are ways that farm fami lies can help improve the labor situ ation on their farms,” he declared, "and first and foremost is careful planning. The family should plan together how its family life should be WEST SALVAGE G0. We Buy Wrecked Cars t BRASS—Red, Yellow, Hea\. § and Mixed; Whole Batteries. * COPPER—Light and Heavy.

PLYMOUTH MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION carried on so as to release time for farm work. Divide the work and cut out less necessary tasks.” Shoflner also said that old men. women and children will have to do more of the farm work. Children will have to be taught to share in farm work, homemaking skills and care of the younger children. Other suggestions include: Neigh bors swap work, tools and equipment. A community workshop where farm and home equipment may be repair ed. Keep tools and equipment in good condition so that they will ope rate easily and efficiently at all times. Adjust livestock and crop en terprises to the labor supply. Shoffner said that production of i; The two billion pounds of grease and fats wasted annually in the U.

Home - grown vegetables, fruits, meats, and poultry products will free transportation facilities and containers badly needed in meeting tlie demands of the armed forces, war industrial workers in cities, and others of the United Nations. “The cost of things you buy will be higher,” shofTner warned farm people, “and labor costs will be high er, too—if you can get labor.” Soy Beans Wanted Prices Delivered at Shipping Point: Tokios and Yellows.$1.60 Browns and Blacks.$1.40 Receiving Point: Norfolk Southern Station in Plymouth SEE or CALL ME at ANY TIME!
