Page 10 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1942 (One Day N Questions and Answers On Share-The-Meat Plan In connection with the Share the Meat" nroeram. a number of pertinent questions have been rais ed. Some of the more important of these are reproduced below, and answers have been eiven bv the office of defense health and welfare services. The North Carolina State Board of Health feels that the importance of this material justifies getting these questions and answers be fore the largest possible number of the State's population. These Questions and answers fol low: ' iq Q. Shouldn't such things as age, kind of work and climate condi tions be considered in sharing al lowances? A. The allowance of 2 pounds of meat per week per person is plenty for the average civilian in any climate, especially when it is considered that such meats as poul try, fish, liver, sweetbreads, tongue, and kidneys are included in the sharing plan. Age is considered In the sharing plan. Persons under 12 should not exceed 1 pounds per week; Under 6, 3-4 pound per week. Q. What will be the result of meat sharing on prices of meat alternatives? A. Meat sharing will naturally increase the demand for meat al ternatives, but price ceilings will protect the consumer against in creased cost of the substitutes. Q. If people save meat, will the armed forces get it and will they use it economically? A. The armed forces are sure to get their meat, because a govern ment order limits the amount of meat delivered to civilians to a point which will assure that enough will be left at the process ing plants to provide for the needs ing allies. The purpose of the of our armed forces and our fight sharing plan is to provide for fair distribution, of the civilian supply among the 128 million Americans not in uniform. There is less waste in army cooking than in many home kitchens. Q. How will company over week ends be taken care of? A. When people eat away from home, they should reduce consump tion at home accordingly. Those who entertain guests are expected to increase meat purchase accord ingly within the sharing limita tions. Q. Will the "Share the Meat" and meat rationing programs re duce the price for the livestock they produce? A. "Share the Meat" or meat rationing programs would not re duce the, price for livestock. Total demand army, navy, lend-lease, and civilian will continue to run ahead of the supply for a long period in the future. Further more, as our armed forces grow in size, and as they advance, they liberate hungry people living in Axis-held territory. Both for mili tary and humanitarian reasons, these new allies must be fed. Secretary Wickard is asking a 10 per cent increase in pork pro duction, despite the probability of rationing. Q. Will the meat farmers raise and butcher for their own use be rationed? How can it be done? A. No decisions have been an nounced about meat rationing or its effect on farmers. Farm fam ilies are now asked to do their part in sharing the meat by limit ing consumption to 2H pounds per week per adult though they have butchered their own animals for meat. Q. Shouldn't farmers be permit ted to raise and butcher as much meat as they need? A. Home raising and butchering of meat is encouraged, because it saves transportation and storage. The request to the farm family is to use the home-grown meat at the sharing rate 2 pounds per week per adult. Farmers can help also by selling supplies in excess of this amount. Q. Will farmers be permitted to sell some of the meat they butcher? A. Farmers are asked not to slaughter and sell more meat than in the same period in 1941. Addi tional supplies should be sold as live animals so that they will go packing plants that supply meat for our armed forces and our al lies, - Q. What will be done about this situation? At butchering time farmers have much fresh meat. They can some, but have spareribs, Down Deep in Honorable Dumps I fc-, II1-' ' - f ti i - ' , ' ' fs ' r ' V: X ' 1 Made In Waynesville By Wellco Shoe Corporation I T'S WARM TH H E IV A N TS! iiywww) l..),,.UI, ....vUU''-.''''

Doesn't the sharing by farm ers who raise and butcher their own meat really mean decreased meat production which is in con flict with the war program of in creased meat production? A.

Food is strength and strength will win the war. We must all eat . . soldiers '. . . sailors . . . marines ."i-. our allies . . . and those of us at home. Make every acre count. Raise things Uncle Sam needs. Stamp out insects and diseases in plants and livestock. A garden and an orchard will help cut your food costs and improve your diet. A noultry flock will give you eggs as well as meat. Milk is necessary too. Our fighting forces and our allies reed great quantities of pork, beef and lamb. To product this food, you'll need feed. Mrs. Coman Kirkpatrick and daughter, of Detroit, spent a few days recntly visiting Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Kirkpatrick and Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Webb. Your gloves, handbag, your um brellaand other accessories like these are riot the most important : terns of your wardrobe, but they deserve extra care these days. Clothing specialists suggest that the habit of losing gloves and um brella is a good one for American women to break. Buy a glove holder to attach to your pocket book if you are inclined to lose your gloves, or sew a name tape on the inside seam. Take a tip from the sales per son and put your gloves on just as she tries them on you: Ease fin gers on first; then thumb and palm. Turn rings so the settings are toward the palm of your hand. The best way to take most gloves off is to loosen each fingertip, turn the cuff back over the fingers and draw the gloves off. Suede gloves are an exception ; try to work them off easily without turning back the cuff or pulling the finger tips. After you take off a pair of gloves, pull them gently into shape, blow into the fingers, and lay them in tissue paper in a flat box. Don't let your gloves get too dirty before you clean them. Watch for rips in your gloves and mend them promptly. Always use cotton thread in sewing leather. Silk thread will cut the leather and pull out.
