Chairman Announces
Outline Hew Laws
On Sale Of Beer
Several changes in the laws regu
lating the sale and distribution of
beer in North Carolina were made by
the 1943 General Assembly.
A compilation of the now statutes,
prepared by the North Carolina
Committee of the Brewing Industry
Foundation, follows:
Sale of beer between the hours of
11:30 p. m- and 7 a. m. is prohibited.
This statute also stipulates that no
beer shall be consumed on the prem
ises of the dealers between midnight
and 7 a. m.

rial Nobodv can hold a candle to
mv beautiful sister.
fioh No. she'd blow it out and
start to pet.
01 1 county boards of commissioners may
regulate or prohibit sale oi Deer on
Sundays. Municipalities have exclu
sive jurisdiction within their munici
pal boundaries, the statute provides.
Retail "off-premises" license fees
n.uM voHiwpH- rountv from $25 to
$5 and municipal from $10 to $5. No
rhanw was made in other retail li
cense taxes.
An amendment to the Beverage
Control Act makes it a violation of
thp law and erounds for revocation
of a retail dealer's license to:
1. Sell beer to any person under
is years of age.
2. Sell beer "to any person while I
such person is in an intoxicated condition."
3 Soli heer or permit its consump
tion upon licensed premises during il
legal hours.
4. Permit any disorderly conduct,
breach of peace, or any lewd, im
moral, or improper entertainment,
conduct or practices.
5. Sell, offer for sale, posses or
permit consumption on licensea
premises of any kind of alcoholic li
quors not authorized Dy law
This amendment also permits revo
cation proceedings to be filed with
the State Commissioner of Revenue,
and clothes him with authority to re
voke or suspend retail beer licenses.
The law does not change the provi
sion permitting local governing
boards to revoke licenses.
These changes in the laws were
approved by the organized beer in
dustry of North Carolina which has
conducted a self-regulation program
in this state for four years.
More Pulpwood Wanted
Prom Farms In N. C.
Sharpen that axe. File that saw.
Begin cutting more pulpwood for
Uncle Sam. These are suggestions
made to North Carolina growers by
R. W. Graeber, extension forester at
N. C. State College.
The nation needs 13,000,000 ocrds
of pulpwood in 1943 to fill the re
quirements of the armed services and
civilians. The farmer is asked by
those in charge of war activities to
enlist his saw and axe, his muscle
and his woodlands, in the fight to
win the war.
Military requirements for pulp
wood are many. It is needed for
making smokeless powder; in rayon
for parachutes; in medicinal products
for treatment sick and wounded sol
diers; as blueprint paper lor tne
planning of ships and planes; as pa-!
per for shell cases; and in a thousand
other new and old wartime uses.
Of the recent African invasion
convoy of about 800 ships, approxi
mately 300 we$e warships and 500
were transports, which were loaueu
with troops and supplies. Mucn oi
these supplies were protected by
shipping containers made from trees.
Mr mn t -wa led baes maae oi pa
per are replacing metal drums. More
and more products are being shipped
in kraft paper bags.
There will be a shortage oi pmp-
wood, according to Graeber, unless
every farmer with a woodlot takes
time to serve his country wrtn saw,
axe, team and truck. Woods opera
tions fit well with other rarm wore.
Pulpwood can be cut on slack days.
