COW FOR $17,000 Quail Roost Noble Primrose, at a recent Maxim sale at Quail Roost Farm, sold for $17,000, which is the highest priee ever paid for a Nbrtlf Carolina-cow: ^ oultry Freeze Was Explained Orange Farmers Yesterday ^ group of Orange county farm and merchants met at the tlsboro high school auditorium sterday morning to hear a dis Bsion and explanation of war order 119 concerning the sale cl use of poultry. L. T. Wells, iresentative of the Southern field ice of the War Food Administra n. conducted the discussion and" plained the cause for the order. Wells said that in a survey made >ong the boys on the fighting >nts the two things they wanted )st to eat when returning from ; trenches was ice cream and ed chicken. The Army has been 'ing to furnish them with this 4 last fall found the supply of icken to be short by about 110 llion pounds. At the present rie> the Army needs 360 mil n pounds of chicken to meet eir needs. In order to secure this count of chicken, certain areas the United States that are out mding producers of poultry have en put under this order. From e»e areas; the Army is now re iving about eight million pounds chicken each week, which is °ugh to furnish every man and woman in uniform one meal with chicken per week. Under this order, all poultry pro ducers in the affected areas wUl be allowed to sell only 50 chickens per week for civilian consumption. All the rest must be sold, to the government at the prevailing ceil ing price. Producers *have three markets for their chickens going to the Army. They may sell to an authorized processing _ plant, to their couiftry grocer, 6r to an au thorized trucker. If they sell to their country grocer, he must in turn sell them to the government, holding only 50 per week for their civilian trade. Before any producer or retailer can sell any chickens at all on the civilian market, he must first obtain a permit from the WFA. All permits from this area will be issued from Wells’ office in Dur ham. Air letters seeking permits should be addressed to L. TV Wells at the county agent’s office in Durham. The order does not re strict the home use of poultry by the producer.

Miss . ooneyhan, prin cipal, as ht»s. was assisted by a corps of volunteers and student aids. Dr. O. D. Garvin and Dr. W. B. Bailey did"the physical examina tions and when raghrested to, gave inoculations, Jtor contagious diseases. Other detaus of the -elinie were attended by the three nurses from the health department, Mrs. Gertrude Rose, Miss Louise Buck ley and Mrs. Sarah Hall. The local health department is making an effhrt to have every young child immunized against whooping cough, in accord with the new law making it mandatory. Whooping cough is at present a serious contagious disease problem in North Carolina. Approximately 40 per cent of the deaths occur under six months of age. For this reason all children should receive protection by immunization as earfy as possible. All children pre viously inoculated may take a booster dose each year and kgep their immunity effective. They will have little, if any, reaction from this single treatment. Diphtheria is also a tragic "dis ease for vthe very young arid last year the state had an alarming number of cases, yet diphtheria is a preventable disease. North Carolina has progressive laws created for the protection of her young citizens. These laws re quire immunization against both diphtheria and whooping cough before the child reaches the age of one year. It is a misdemeanor not to have it done. -No law enforcement officer is going, into the homes to see that the law has been complied with. The burden of responsibility rests with the parents. However, no child will be admitted to school this fall without certificates of im munization. Asked for a statement, Dr. Gftr vin wanted only to remind parents of their responsibility to get their ■children immunized. He recom mends* the booster dose given yearly as the most satisfactory method. The health department is cooperating by maintaining clinics in Chapel Hill every Friday after noon and Saturday morning. Miss Mooneyhan said, “I hope every parent will take this pre caution early so that there will be no delay in getting children into school this fall and no embarrass ment for either parents or school personnel,” Hill Seaior Play Chapel Hill.—On Monday eve ning, May 21, the seniors of Chapel Hill, high school tyill -present a play, “The Late Christopher Bean,” at the Playmakers theater.

Although no bond rally or pub lic gathering launched the drive, plans were made and put under way with the official opening date Monday. Gilbert Ray, chairman of the drive for this part of the couii- , ty, said Don Matheson, heading the drive among the rural folks, had Sent letters containing bond literature to all Orange county farmers. The neighborhood lead ers will lend aid to the drive in talking it up and urging the fanners to invest all they can af ford in bonds during the daiY«* but in contrast to previous drives, they will not make i house to house canvass in the country. Mrs. H. W. Moore, chairman of the drive in the residential areas of Hillsboro, will, with her group of workers, conduct a complete house to house canvass in that area. R. H. Claytor, superintendent of public schools, will conduct a promotional campaign through the county schools. Eno and Belle-Vue Cotton Mills are contributing to the drive through the payroll de-; duction plan. 1 - r~---7— Thfe overall quota , for Orange county is $574,000 with $458,000 being named as a goal for bond sales in series “E.” S.. A. Johnson of the Durham Bank and Trust Company in Hillsboro said Tues day that thus far the bank has sold $119,817. Of this amount, $49,725 was subscribed in “E” bonds. Officials in the drive expressed confidence in the bond buying public that they would not let the news of victory in Europe hinder their all-out effort to purchase all the bonds they can afford. In spite of this tendency to let down, they feel that the full quota will be oversubscribed by the closing date on tlune 30. “E” bond sales since April 9 have been, counting, to ward the goal and they will con tinue to count until July 7, al though the official closing date of the campaign is June 30. —jy Mary. HHI -Gaston Chapel 'Hill, May 16.—Featur ing the town rally held here at the Carolina theater Monday morning to officially launch the local Seventh War Loan Drive was a war movie short, “The Enemy Strikes,” and an adress by Capt. Preston S. Marchant of Greenville, S. C., commanding officer of the Marine V-12 unit at the Univer sity. Cap# Marchant has recently re turned ’ from 29-months duty in the South and Central Pacific com bat areas. He saw service on Guad alcanal, Tulagi and Guam and told his audience of narrow escapes he had had on the latter island. He barely missed death several times from machinegun fire, bombs and Jap land mines, and he re lated how his men made him hold on to a ring made for him on Guadalcanal, from a half dollar. This ring. He said, proved to be his “lucky piece.” He ended by telling his audience that their luck lay lh war bonds and stamps. Also introduced on the rally program was H. W. Wentworth, controller of the Carrboro Muni tions Corporation, where employ ees have already bought over $70, 000 in war bonds, including over $42,500 purchased in one “special emphasis” week in April.

Ten bxgUer-producing counties, in North Carolina will be placed under the’’poultry set-aside order (War Food Order 119) beginning May 14, according to an announce ment by the War Food Adminis tration. The order requires 100 per cent of poultry processed by au thorized, processors in those areas to. be set aside for government purchases. Counties in the freeze area are Guilford, Randolph, Moore, Lee, Chatham, Alamance, Orange, Durham, Granville and Wake. - #; Due to the present trend of the war in all theaters, and increased demands oil’ shipping as a result, it is expected that most of the poultry supply obtained in . these North Carolina counties will be used for current needs of the War Shipping Administration for the Merchant Marines. Since last De cember 8, when the order became operative in other major broilerr producing areas in the United States, WFO 119 has been the prin cipal means for providing Ameri can Armed Forces’ with a supply of fre$Ji poultry. It has been need ed for regular CJ.I. menus as well as for use in hospitals and rest camps both overseas and in this country. Until now, poultry has been obtained in four concentrated producing areas in eight states by the Quartermaster Corps for all Armed Services. The order, as applied to North Carolina counties as well as all other designated states or areas, requires that live poultry be sold only to authorized processors, and that such processors, in turn, offer the processed poultry to designated government agencies.
