Insurance For Soldiers
All North Carolina soldiers can get
financial protection through the Na
tional Service life Insurance pro
gram, if they act before midnight of
August 10, the War Department has
announced. Maximum policy is
$10,000. The payments will be made
to beneficiaries only in monthly in
stallments. Tobacco Can Be Sent To Prisoners
U. S. war prisoners and civilian in
ternees held by Germany and Italy
can receive cigarettes, cigars, smok
ing tobacco, or chewing tobacco sent
by relatives and fnends under a pro
gram worked out by several govern
ment agencies and the American Red
Cross. The plan will be extended to
include persons held by Japan when
ever facilities are available for rout
ing the products to them. Under the
program, the next-of-kin of each
identified United States war prisoner
and civilian internee will receive
(without asking for it) two tobacco
labels every 60 days. These are to
be forwarded, with a money order,
to a tobacco manufacturer, who will
send the tobacco. No postage or
federal eci3e tax need be paid. Each
label is good for three cartons of
cigarettes, or 12 packages (one car
ton of two-ounce packages) of
smoking tobacco, 100 cigars, or ap
proximately 24 ounces of chewing
tobacco. SmalleT amounts or mixed
packages cannot be ordered.
Crop Corps Certificates
Certificates of service will be
awarded to all persons who work on
North Carolina farms this year in the
U. S. Crop Corps, and to those who
work in canning and other food pro
cessing plants, the War Food Admin
istration has announced. The certifi
cates will be presented "for patriotic
service on farm or in a food pro
cessing factory" and will bear the
signatures "of Chester C. Davis, war
food administrator; Paul V. McNutt,
chairman of the War Manpower
commission, and Dean I. O. Schaub,
State director of Agricultural Ex
tension. No Point At All
Grocers in rural areas in North
Carolina who have been refusing to
sell dried and dehydrated soups with
out the surrender of ration points
are reminded by the food rationing
division of OPA that these soups
must be sold point free, as they have
been completely removed from the
rationing program.
Sewage Facilities For Homes
North Carolina home owners now
can obtain some sewage facilities by
having their municipal authority
write a letter to WPB. The letter
must certify that the work is proper
ly authorized, that it will require less
than $1,500 for underground and less
than $500 for above-ground construc
tion. The letter itself constitutes an
authorization to connect sewage
facilities.
Revised Feed Prices
Savings to State farmers are ex
pected to' result from OPA's revision
of retail prices of animal and poul
try foods. Previously, the retailer
has been allowed a fixed mark-up of
$7.50 a ton on all kinds of feeds.
Now feeds have been classified, and
there is a schedule of mark-ups rang
ing from $5.50 to $10 a ton.

The poultry situation in North
Carolina is vastly improved, the OTA
says. Simplification of the regula
tions, plus wide dissemination of in
formation as to just what the regula
tions are, tended to eliminate the
black market as far as the law abid
ing producers and dealers were con
cerned, the OPA explained, and vig
orous prosecution of violations con
vinced the minority group that was
deliberately dealing in black market
poultry that that type of business
doesn't pay.
