"A PAGE FOUB THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. O, FRIDAY MARCH 26 1943 f 5V V, '1 1 ( 4 -a TOWN AND FARM IN WARM Red Stamp Rationing Reminder. Red stamps from War Ration Book Two. which are good for the purchase of meats, cheeses, edible fats and oils and canned fish, will become valid and will expire as follows: Wek. Begin. Red Stamps Expire March 29 A (16 Points) April 30 April 4 B (16 Points) April 30 April 11 C (16 Points) April 30 April 18 D (16 Points) April 30 April 26 E (16 Points) Announced Six Gallons Of Gas A Month Autoists in 17 eastern states now will get only 6 gallons of gasoline a month, although they may use it for any kind of non-occupational driving. The new order does not apply to oth er areas. A-Books will still be good for 3 gallons in the 17 eastern states but they must last for four months. Shortage of gas and oil supplies, and greatly increased demands for fuel for farm machinery, caused the OPA order, which became effective on March 22. More Meat For Shortage Areas OPA has empowered regional ad ministrators to report to the food rationing division of OPA whenever an area has an acute meat shortage which endangers public health, mor ale, or the war effort. OPA will au thorize slaughterers to iscrease their civilian deliveries of controlled meats in such areas. Action was taken in 12 North Carolina counties this week. Plenty Of Canning Supplies Plenty of metal closures and rubber jar rings will be available for Ameri can housewives who will be doing an increased amount of canning this year. The War Production Board has removed all quota restrictions on the manufacture of certain types of metal lids used to seal the jars. Prohibi tion of the use of zinc is continued. Modifications of Shoe Ration Order Three modifications of shoe ration Order 17 have been authorized by OPA. They are (1) an additional ration for "safety" shoes, used for health protection in special work, may be acquired from the local board by any person who has spent his ration stamp 17 even though a mem ber of his family has an unspent stamp, (2) 'Sandals which can be sold ration-free are redefined to include all sandals with an open back and a heel height of 1 1-8 inches or less, regardless of the material used in the upper, (S) Certain shoes with soles made principally of rope, wood, or other non-strategic materials may be sold ration-free, regardless of the material used in the upper. r:. Ceilings On Corn Permanent maximum prices on corn America's top-ranking farm crop in point of size and value have been fixed by OPA. The ceilings apply from the time the corn leaves the farmer's hands until it is sold by re tail dealers. Recognizing seasonal price variations and carrying charges, the new OPA order sets peak prices for all varieties and types of corn sold by farmers, truckers, local ele vator and terminal market operators and retail dealers.

Revelation 1 :18. (Lesson Text: John 20:19-39). Having been arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane late Thursday night, falsely accused, convicted and humil iated early Friday morning, and, fin ally escorted to Golotha where he was crucified .between two thieves, Jesus lay in the tomb where he had been placed by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimthea from Friday afternoon, throughout the Jewish Sabbath, until his resurrection early on the first day of the week, called by us, Sunday. After scattering upon his arrest, the disciples of Jesus had reassem bled after his death. Their spirit was anxious and pessimistic, although the mere fact of their being united seems to point to some fidelity of purpose or of hopes. A group of women, who went to the tomb early on the first day of the week, found the body of Jesus gone, but it was to Mary of Magdala that Jesus made his first appearance. Some interesting sidelights of this appearance should be noted. It seemed strange that the first appear ance of the resurrected Lord should have been made to a woman rather than to some great leader or promi nent personage. Again, the fact that these women were wondering how they would be able to gain entrance into the tomb shows that the body of Jesus had not been stolen by his own followers as .the soldiers claimed. The condition 1 ' t of tte grave clothes also negatives any' theft. At first, Mary did not t recognize Jesus, but shortly after 'wards, the intonation of his voice v- brought recognition and Mary rushed a ' back to the disciples to exclaim, "I V '.inen seen the Lord." ,.'

Can Sell Butter Below Ceiling There is nothing in any OPA regu lation preventing sales of butter at lower than ceiling prices set recently at the creamery and wholesaler lev els. These ceilings represent the maximum prices at which this com modity may be sold, Price Adminis trator Prentiss M. Brown said. Farm Machinery Released Restrictions on distribution of three types of rationed farm ma chinery have been lifted by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The or ders permit manufacturers of farm cream separators to release without restriction 80 per cent of their au thorized production of separators as allowed by WPB Order L-170 and all remaining stocks produced under L-26. It similarly permits manufac turers of power spray pumps and horse or tractor drawn rod weeders to release 100 per cent of their produc tion under L-170 and all inventory stocks produced under L-26. Blue Ration Staff Calendar Blue Stamps D, E, and F in War Ration Book Two, totaling 48 points, will be good from March 25 through April 30. Stamps A, B, and C will be valid only through March 31. Consequently, between March 25 and March 31, Blue Stamps A through F may be used to buy rationed canned foods. Damaged Shoes "Non-Rationed" Shoe dealers whose stocks have been" damaged by fire, water, steam or other accidental causes to the extent that they cannot be exchanged for ration currency may be authorized by OPA offices to mark these shoes "non-rationed." The Raleigh and Charlotte offices can give this per mission. Booklet On Car Care A manual of ABC's of vehicle maintenance for cars, trucks, and buses, outlining the kind of inspec tions, checks, and adjustments that should be made to assure efficient and economic operation of all types of motor vehicles, will soon be avail able through the Office of Defense Transportation and the field offices of the Office of War Information.

Deferment Appeals Handled Locally All appeals involving claims for occupational deferment are now being handled by the selective service board of appeal in the area of the worker's employment. Formerly the appeals were handled in the area in which the worker was registered. War Expenditures The average daily rate of U. S. war expenditures reached a new high of $253,400,000 (million) in February. The previous high in November, 1942, was surpassed by 3.6 percent, or ?8,9O0,000 (million). Expenditure for war purposes totaled $6,081,000, 000 (billion) in February. This was $173,000,000 (million) or 2.8 per cent less than in January and 2 times regula-expenditures a year ago February. during the forty days between his resurrection and ascension. He ap peared to the other women who were with Mary and, somewhat later, to Peter. In the afternoon he explained the Old Testament prophecies con cerning himself to Cleopas and anoth er as they walked to Emmaus. Later that evening, he entered the upper room supernaturally and revealed himself to a group of disciples, in cluding all of the Eleven excepting Thomas. Because of the latter's doubt that they had seen him, Jesus appeared again one week later. To seven disciples beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus appeared, as well as to the eleven apostles on a mountain. On one occasion, by arrangement, he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers in Galilee. He also made an individual appearance to James and, finally, to the eleven apos tles when he gave them his final in structions. The authenticity of the Christian faith stands or falls on the reality of the resurrection. The written record in the gospels carries conviction but there are other facts even more con ducive to faith. The fact that the Christians soon changed from the traditional Jewish day of worship to the first day of the week in recognition of some great oc casion to he commemorated is impor tant. The transformation in the conduct of his disciples from dis couraged, disappointed men testified eloquently of faith and confidence. Peter, who denied Jesus three times in terror, faced the opposition of the Scribes and Pharisees and, courage ously preached the Pentecost, winning thousands of believers. Also, Paul, after his vision of the resurrected Christ, changed from a persecutor to an expounder of the new faith. A personal faith in immortality is the strongest possible incentive for living properly. "The business of lov ing: or hating, of being pure or im pure, of spreading peace or weaving bitterness Into the fabric of life," says Rufus M. Jones, "is eternal busi ness, for all the time as one acts, one is forming the atmosphere in which he is going to live eternally . . . This life and the life beyond are not two things but one, or at least parts of one whole." With this lesson, we conclude our study of the Gospel of John. We are wondering if the past quarter's care ful study has achieved the purpose of John, stated in the twentieth chapter of his gospel, in verses 30 and 31, in which he states that, while he did not record all of the doings of Christ, "These things are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name," for, "as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name." Farmers Urged Save For Post War Reserves To avoid the disastrous results of both inflation and deflation, a three point investment program has been suggested to North Carolina farmers by the Secretary of the Treasury, in a recent communication to Dr. I. O. Schaub, Director of the Agricultural Extension Service at State College. The Secretary pointed out that this Nation is looking to its farmers for more than the production of food for freedom, and more than the reduction of debts to a safe and sound basis. Farm families have sent their men and boys into the armed forces, but along with the maximum production of essential crops and a reduction of present debts, Secretary Morgenthau suggests that they also purchase War Bonds to the limit of their capacity. Not only is it patriotic, but it is strictly good business from every standpoint. The Secretary, in urging the pur chase of War Bonds by farmers, said: "The experience of the last war period indicates that those men who pur chase these bonds will find greater security and satisfaction in the long run in building financial reserves to protect their farms and their stand- ars of living than in enlarging their holdings beyond a size necessary for efficient operation." Dr. Schaub said that the financial welfare of North Carolina farm fam ilies after the war will depend to a great extent on how wisely they handle the increased farm incomes of the present period. For the first time since World War No 1, the in comes of most farmers have been high enough to provide some reserves above necessary operating expenses. The $3 invested in War Bonds now will be worth $4 at the end of ten years and the money can be used to purchase badly needed equipment that can't be bought now. Oldtimers will remember that after World War No. 1, the conservative grower had a hard enough time but the ones who speculated were sunk without a trace. CHAPANOKE NEWS Carey Quincy, U. S.
