? it- rt !- PACE FOUR dllMl'liiir; the perquimans weekly, Hertford, n. o, Friday, February ii, im? it '0 6 J 'V - V H 5 , r Vs TOWN AND FARM If J WARTIME Rationing Begins March 1 Rationing of canned, dried, and frozen fruits and vegetables will be gin March 1, and retail sales of the more than 200 items to be rationed will be "frozen" on February 20. Be ginning Monday, February 22, house wives will register or War Ration Book No. 2, which will allow a total of 48 "points" for each member of the family for the month of March. Stamps will have values of 8, 5, 2, and 1. If a family has more than 5 cans per person on hand, stamps will be removed from the book in proportion to their excess holdings. Official point values will be made public as soon as stocks are "frozen." Registration probably will be held in local school houses and one member may register for the whole family. Some foods need not be counted. They include canned olives, cajined meat and fish, pickels, relish, jellies, jams, preserves, spaghetti, macaroni, noodles and all home-canned foods. "Non-Ieferable" Occupations Twenty-nine occupations were an nounced as "non-deferable" for any reason by the Bureau of Selective Service of the WMC on February 2. All occupations in an additional 19 manufacturing S wholesale and retail, and 9 service activities were also called non-deferable. Any mer, in these occupations are advised to get into war jobs immediately. After April 1 they will not be deferred if they stay in their present jobs. Even if they have dependents, they will still be drafaed unless their work con tributes to the war effort. Among the non-deferable occupa tions are everything from bootblacks to gamblers, bartenders, bar boys, beauty operators, bell boys, bus boys, butlers, charmen and cleaners, cosme ticians, custom tailors ajiid furriers, dancing teachers, dish washers, door men, elevator operators and starters, errand boys, fortune tellers, garden ers, greens keepers, housemen, hair dressers, newsboys, night club mana gers and employees, porters, private chauffeurs, soda dispensers, ushers, valets, and waiters, with few excep tions, are non-deferable regardless of where the activity is found. Gasoline Credit Cards Gredit cards may now be used at gasoline stations by vehicles carry ing a "Certificate of War Necessity" or "T" ration stickers. Most other vehicles cannot use such credit cards. Formerly, stations operating 24 hours a day could sell gasoline to aH ve hicles only during 12 hours a day and after that only to those with "T" stickers. Anyone who has applied for a "Cer tificate of War Necessity" may get gasoline pending the arrival of his certificate by notifying his local war price and rationing board. Coupons sufficient for his needs will be issued for the first and second three-month period at the same time. Lumber For Farms Almost six billion board feet of lumber a year will be required on American farms after the war, ac cording to the U. S. Dept. of Agrj- culture's Forest Service. More than , 5,000 million board feet will be J needed for repair and replacement of i buildings, 700 million feet for build-1 ings on new tarms, and lry million for other uses. More Fuel For Farm Machinery Farm and mining machinery and equipment producers will hereafter be given more fuel oil for their pro duction. Petroleum Distribution Or der No. 3, which originally imposed a 40 percent cut on fuel oils for uses other than space heating and hot water heating, has been amended to THIS BUSINESS rv Susan thaveh Thoughts Preceding March 15th Umm . . . can't buy those shoes for Johnnie this month and the old coat will have to last through the winter . . . Let's see maybe we could cut down a little more on the meat bud get and we needn't have the Randalls to dinner yet awhile ... I guess it's a good thing we can't buy gasoline for the car or get any extra help now and then the way we used to. You know why I'm going over ex penses for the umpty-umpth timel March 15th is coming nearer and nearer and with it the first install ment of taxes that will really hurt.1 Income taxes have always been a' nuisance. They've cramped our' style, as it were. But this year they are a major item of expense. One' quarters installment is about equal to what the whole tax was a year go. Naturally we don't like it Many of us don't see where it's com ing from, still it's got to be paid. xet stop a minute and look at what we're getting for this money! we ll begin turning ovr to Unci) I Sam next month. A rapidly growing 1 leave out farm and mining machinery. Need More Cotton Fabrics Every major cotton mill in the country has been urged to produce more cotton fabrics and yarns in li4d. Military requirements come first, but there must also be enough1 cotton fabrics to supply all essential civilian needs. Producers of wool have also been urged to increase pro-! duction by every means at their command. Price Support For Dry Peas j i To encourage the planting of 725,-! 000 acres of peas, the U. S. Dept. of j Agriculture will support the prices of dry peas at $5.50 for V. S. Grade No. 1, and $5.25 for U. S. Grade No. 2, per hundred pounds, in bags, F. O. 1!. country shipping points. Desig nated varieties are Scotch Green, Alaska, First and liest, Marrowfat, and White Canada. Effective imme diately, the Food Distribution Ad ministration will buy dry peas of those varieties at the prices an nounced. o Price Kise Prices of tomatoes, peas, snap bea,ns, and sweet corn are not likely to be higher this year than last, be cause of the U. S. Dept. of Agricul ture's program of price support. Growers of these four major canning crops will get prices substantially above those of last year, through Government price support, but these prices will not be passed on to the consumer. This is part of the pro gram to stabilize the cost of living. Although minimum prices are spec ified by states, for the country as a whole minimum prices to be paid to growers, contrasted to the actual prices paid in 1942, are tomatoes, $24,25 per ton compared with $19.37, green peas, $81.50 per toin compared with $63.93, sweet corn, $19 a ton compared with $13.50, snap beans, $91 a ton compared with $75.38. Living Costs Rise Percent Living costs on December 15, 1942, were of one percent higher than on November 15, the Dept. of Labor reported. Total rise for America's first war year was 9 percent, and the total increase since the outbreak of war in Europe is 22.1 percent, as compared with almost 3b percent in the same period of the last war. ' Prices under OPA control rose .3 per-1 cent during the month, prices under' control of other Government agencies did not rise at all, and prices not, under any control rose 2 percent. , Silk Stockings For War Silk and nylon stockings 232,158 pounds of them were donated by American women during the month of December 15 to January 15, for two months, the total was 372,150 pounds, representing 7,500,000 pairs of stock ings. Powder bags for big guns, parachutes, and other vital war pro ducts are made from silk and nylon reclaimed from old stockings. Federal Employment The smallest net monthly change in civilian employment in the Federal Government was recorded during November, when 2.3 percent more employee's were added, said Civil Service Commission. At the end of November total civilian employment in Federal service totalled 2,750,101 as compared with 2,687,093 a month before and 1,545,131 a year before. War Expenditures Expenditures for munitions and war construction planes, tanks, ships, guns, ammunition, etc. will total about $157,000,000,000 from June 1940 through the end of 1943, if prices are held at present levels. That will be Army and Navy that have already chalked up some mighty important successes. A flow of much-needed weapons and food to our allies across wide oceans. And, more im portant still, a confidence in our ability sooner or later to win a de cisive victory. A year ago it was touch and go. Remember? We thought we'd win. We'd never lost a war, we told our selves. Them someone reminded us the Japanese hadp't either! We be lieved industry would deliver much of the goods the President had called for. We hoped we'd get enough men and material over "sub"-infested oceans to turn the tide in time. Today, with a major part of our industry changed over to war produc tion, with hundreds of ships reaching the other side in spite of a serious submarine campaign, and with our trained, we know we will win and the discomfort it means doesn't much matter! . about $78 billion less than these goods l woulu ci-st u prices were not con j trolled and ere allowed to follow the inf latiouery pattern of V orld War 1 ' 1 in 1J14. More Munitions i Planes, tanks. uns. and other military equipment and supplies that rolled off American assembly lines in December 1942, was 14 percent; North Carolina( this is to notify all greater than in November, said Don- persons having claims against the es ald Nelson, chairman of WPB. It tate of said deceased to exhibit them was the greatest volume ever produc- ed by U. S. factories in one mqnth. During 1943 it is planned to produce about twice as much munitions as in 1942. i I Support Millfeeds Price j Prices of millfeeds will be support ed by the Commodity Credit Corpora tion to flour millers at $1.50 per ton below the OPA ceilings. This is part of the L'SDA's effort to prevent a rise in flour and break prices to the con sumer, and to encourage increased production of livestofk by keeping a supply of millfeeds available. i Protects Against Forgers j The United States Secret Service has turned its big guns against the forger of Government checks in a drive to protect, particularlv. men in the armed forces. The L'SSS has successfully checked counterfeiting re-i ducing losses from bad money by 59 1 percent in 1942. Losses have been ; cut 93 percent in five years. Persons receiving Government checks from boys in the armed services, or others, are urged to take every precaution! against pilfering of their mail. j Add 3 Percent Tax j The 3 percent freight tax imposed November 1, 1942, may be added to, delivered prices by processors of ani-j mai product ieeastuus, according io OPA. Prices of such feeds are Iieid to a rigid maximum under Price Keg ulation No. 74. Just Call the Waiter Billi "I'm afraid to propose to her." Tim "Has she offered you no en couragement?" Bill "Oh, yes. She gives me a hot gin punch when I call, but one ain't enough." IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our father, William W. Chappell, departed this life one year February 7, 1942. dear I who j ago, It was one year ago today, On the seventh day of February, When God took you away and We had to say good-bye. Sad and lonely was the call Of one so dearly loved by all. Your memory is as sweet today As it was when you passed away. We miss you, dear father, More than tongue can tell; But God at last thought it best To take you to Heaven to rest. Father dear, how we miss you, As we go from day to day. Yet we trust we shall meet you Some fair, sweet day. How often do we wander To a grave not far away, Where they laid our dear father One year ago today. When we go to the old home, And father we do jiot see, It always looks sad and lonely For we miss his presence there. We often sit and think of you, And of the way you died. To think you could not say good-bye Before you closed your eyes. His Daughters, Mrs. Caleb Raper Jffld Mrs. E. N. Chappell.
