These prices are approximately 17 percent below the ceiling prices for farmers' stock pea nuts but about 75 percent above the value of peanuts when sold for crushing for oil and meal. Peanuts will be sold by the Corporation for cleaning and shelling for edible uses in line with ceiling prices and for crushing purposes at their product value. On a basis of existing ceiling prices for products, farmers' stock peanuts lor crushing are worth $75 to $85 per ton, de pending on oil and protein content.

Preliminary Plans Be ing Made; County's Quota $3,000 Perquimans County will be asked to raise a total of $3,193 during a gigantic National United War Fund Campaign, which will get underway sometime during October, according to preliminary plans now being for mulated. The plan was outlined to a group of citizens from the Albemarle at a meeting held Tuesday in Elizabeth City. J. Emmett Winslow, the Rev. li. C. Reavis, the Rev. E. T. Jil ison, the Rev. Howard G. Dawkins, Julian White and Max Campbell re- i presented Perqumans County at the meeting. The United War Fund Campaign will be organized and carried out in order to consolidate the entire list of charitable campaigns conducted to raise money for aid in war charity. In the list of organizations which will benefit from the United War Fund Drive is USO, Relief to China, Russia, England, France and Creece, the United Seamen's Service and others. The idea of one drive for all funds originated with authorities in Wash ington and has been organized down through each .state. The states are now organizing county units who will map out local drives to meet the na tional goal. The national quota dur ing the drive is for 12.r million dol lars. North Carolina hai been call ed upon to give one million, eight hundred thousand dollars of this amount. The largest individual item of this goal is a sum of 61 million dollars for the USO, needed by that organization to carry on its program for men in the armed service-. Definite plans for the Perquimans County drive will be made during the next few months when a county wide committee will be named to as sist in the campaign which will like ly start about October 15. It is re ported that this plan of consolidating various solicitations tor charitable organizations is meeting with ap proval throughout the State.

M This decision may be due to new replacement system being used by Selective Service and war production plants for inducting younger un married men now deferred because of occupation. From a national stand point this replacement system will make available to Selective Service boards a large pool of men. How ever, it will affect very few from Perquimans County as the majority of registrants of the local board are engaged in agriculture and are frozen to the farms. One of the latest unofficial reports stated that draft registrants, single or married without children and be tween the ages of 18 and 25, can ex pect to be called for service within the next few months. This ruling ap plies to those now engaged in es sential occupations and who will be replaced by their employers at the end of deferments. Maximum defer ment periods are for six months. It is possible that some registrants falling into the essential group may be deferred for a longer period, but it is expected this number throughout the nation will be limited. The final contingent of selectees from Perquimans County for the month of June left Hertford Tuesday for Fort Bragg to receive final phy sical examinations. The selectees were Negroes and included Herman Lee, Jesse Winslow, William Rid dick, Urcel White, Clifton Hardy, Wiley Whedbee and John Burke. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. David E. Boyce an nounce the birth of a daughter, Con stance Elaine, born June 21. Mrs. Boyce was formerly Miss, Eunice Chappell, of near Belvidere. Surprise Blackout Early Saturday A. M. Proves Successful In a telegram to R. M. Riddick, vJeT2 "1 white, purple-throated Fund Chairman, C. H. Robertson, this week urges residents of the county to do everything passible to assist the state in meeting its June War Bond quota. North Carolina's quota for the month is 106 millions of dollars worth of E. F and G bonds. Per quimans' June quota was set at $19,110. Up to noon Wednesday, Mr. Riddick stated, residents of Perquim ans had purchased $13,443.76 worth of bonds, but this figure is short of the $19,110 goal given the County for the month. Mr. Riddick urges persons who have not bought their usual amount of bonds this month to do so before the final day, and also urges those who can to buy more bonds in order that the county may meet its goal and, at the same time, aid the State to meet its quota. Due to the fact that the war is now being carried to the Axis and victory is assured, it takes more and more money to gain the final victory and for that reason special effort is being made to meet bond quotas to make sure the boys on the fighting line have the materials and weapons necessary to win. was given in marriage. She wore a wedding gown of white lace, with fitted bodice, long sleeves coming to points at the wrists, a long train and a sweetheart neckline edged with seed pearls.

After completion of his course, he willjbe assigned to duty. Unlike the first blackout of last week, which proved only mildly suc cessful, the surprise blackout called at about 2:15 Saturday morning found the local Civilian Defense ready for action and from all re ports the test proved effective here. According to unofficial reports from the Army Command, the black out was called when a training flight of planes were ordered into the sky and these planes were unidenti fied for some time by the observa tion group which immediately called the blackout until the planes were identified. Local air raid wardens and auxil iary police appeared at the office of Civilian Defense and went into action when the signals started the test. It was announced, however, that a few of the local men failed to hear the warning and slept through the test, learning of it only when told later Saturday morning. county during the month of July. A schedule of the clinics is pub lished elsewhere in this issue, and residents are urged to notice this schedule and save it for reference in order to attend the clinic nearest their home. In addition to these special vacci nation clinics, a schedule of regular health clinics conducted at the of fices of the department is also listed. The Health Department issued a notice to the people of this community regarding the condition of the Per quimans River. It is listed as being contaminated from the sewage from the Town of Hertford and is unsafe for swimmers due to the fact of pos sible epidemic of malaria and ty phoid. Dr. Hackett stated that the condition is unfair to individuals and to the community due to the lack of facilities at the present time to fight an epidemic, if one were to start here. Steps are being taken, Dr. Hackett stated, to remedy the condition, but it is doubtful that the condition can be cleared up this year. The Health Department is hoping to cleanse the little river before the summer is over, thus making it a safe place for swimmers.

Consumers are urged to fill out the blanks and return them to the board as soon as possible. Allot ments will then be figured and Cou pons mailed applicants at once. -0 Ha- 4 1 1
