Still Goodly Number of Unrationed Foods While the over-all food rationing program has been tightened by re storation of point values to five vege tables and application of points to 85 per cent of the total meat supply, there remain a substantial number of foods for which rationing points are not needed, states OPA. All frozen and dried fruits and vegetables, fruit spreads, lard, soups, baked beans and baby foods along with fresh fruits and vegetables, cereals, eggs, poul try and fish are unrationed. In the meat list no point value is attached to beef hearts, sweetbreads and beef tongue; lamb is unrationed on such j cuts as breast and flank, shanks of all grades, patties, steaks, chops and j roasts in utility grade, hearts, liver, sweetbreads and tongue; all grades of mutton are point-free; veal is un rationed in such classes of cuts as breast, flank meat, neck, shank and heel meat of all grades in utility grade and lower for steaks, chops and roasts, and also hearts , sweetbreads and tongue. No points are needed to buy pork fat backs, clear plates, hocks, jowls, knuckles, regular plates and bacon ends, hearts, liver and tongue. A number of sausage types are also on the no point list. Fuel Oil Warning Issued Cold homes later on this winter, with no extra rations available, will be the inevitable result of present over-consumption of fuel oil, OPA warns. The request to conserve sup plies came from the rationing agency following widespread indications that many householders have dipped too heavily into their fuel oil rations and are burning oil at a rate considerably in excess of what they should have used up to the present point of the 11)44-1945 heating season. Background For Farm Draft ' Background of the Selective Ser vice action requesting draft boards to reclassify and induct, to the full extent permitted by law, men in the age group 18 through 25 years who hold agricultural deferments is con tained in a letter written to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hersey, Director of Selective Service by the Director of War Mobilization and Reconversion, James F. Byrnes. Pointing out that the Tydings Amendment to the Se lective .Service Act does not give the1 agricultural worker absolute exemp- tion, and was not intended to, Di-i rector Byrnes states: "The Secre taries of War and Navy have advised me jointly that the calls from the Army and Navy to be met in the coming year will exhaust the eli gibles in the 18 ana K year age group at an early date. The Army anu ivavy Delieve it essential to tne effective prosecution of the war to induct more men in this age group. Other than the men becoming 18 years of age, the only remaining sub stantial source in this age group is in the 364,000 men now deferred be cause of agricultural occupation. You have further advised me that if this group is not available, you must call into the service occupationally deferred men in the next age group, 26 years and older, most of whom are fathers. The chairman of the War! Production Board, Mr. Krug, advises me that the loss of these men would make it extremely difficult, if not im possible, to meet critical war de mands. Moreover, these older men would not meet the expressed needs of the Army and Navy." pounds in weight is reached, the young boar or gilt may be fed from the self-feeder. From then until breeding time, when they are 8 to 9 months old and weigh about 250 pounds, they should be fed a grow ing ration. The specialists recommend a con centrate mixture of 50 pounds of ground corn, wheat, or barley; 25 pounds of ground or rolled oats: 15 pounds of cottonseed or soybean meal; 8 pounds of fishmeal or tankage; 1V pounds of finely ground limestone; and H pound of Bait. In addition, a good succulent temporary pasture, a suitable mineral mixture, water, shade, and shelter should aiso be provided. A good grazing crop that can De sown in February is a mixture of 3 bushels of spring oats, 3 pounds of rape, and some lespedeza to each acre. A small acreage, well seeded and fertilized, will give a thick sod and provide a relatively large amount of grazing. The thick sod helps to protect the soil during wet weather. Good summe pastures can be ob tained with soybeans, lespedeza or Sudan grass. Rape can again be planted in late summer for fall grazing. The specialists recommend a min eral mixture of 10 pounds of finely ground limestone, 5 pounds of steam ed bone meal and 2 pounds of salt. BUY WAR BONDS! With Perquimans Boys In Service Dear Max: Today is "my day." I received eight papers! Never have I read a Perquimans Weekly more thorough ly, more intensely, or more expect edly than I read each of these today. I am most grateful to the Hertford Banking Company and to you for boosting my morale, for these papers did just that to me. It was really nice to read about Hertford and its local news news perhaps insignific ant to your readers there, but most important to a far-away soldier. To guys like me, a day never passes that we don't think of that little town, the finest spot on earth. To us, that's all we're living for to return to our loved ones and resume our happy life there. As for England, well, after a lew months here you really appreciate America, and long to be back there i just that much more. I was indeed surprised to find the English so backward backward in every sense except diplomacy. As diplomats, they seldom fail. As Americans in this field, we should give them keener competition. Our children might benefit from such, if you get what I mean. Here's hoping 111 be seeing you before next year. At the moment my optimism is being replaced by extreme pessismism. . . things are looking pretty bad. Sincerely, JESSE HARRIS. many things I don't know that the paper tells me of. tioned somewhere in the Philippines, tione dsomewhere in the Philippines. We are not having it too bad over here or, at least not so far. Well, news is short, so I'll close for this time, wishing you and all of my friends a very happy new year. Thanks for the paper.

Dear Sir: Just a few lines to let you know that I have been receiving the Per quimans Weekly, and that I am glad to get it over here. I cannot begin ', to tell you how good it is to read ' about something that happened atj home, or in good old Perquimans County. Any kind of news is always welcome ever here. I was glad to see that Perquimans did so good in football this season, and I surely hope they will do as well in basketball. Although I am not there to see and cheer for them, I am pulling for them and hoping I can read all about the games thej! have won. I wish them luck. ! I want to thank all the people who ; have helped in any way 'that has. made it possible for the boys in the I service to receive The Perquimans Weekly, and I am sure the other boys will, or have done, the same. I appreciate it very much. Sincerely yours, CALVIN B. BANKS. December 29, 1944. Dear Editor: Just a few lines to let you hear from me and to say that I am re ceiving you paper each week, even though it isn't one of the latest pa pers, it still tells of things and news of the county that I haven't heard, and H la from home, which is the most important. I have been over seas for over a year and there are Dear Max: I have been receiving your paper now for two years ... I enjoyed it an awful lot, even when I was back in the States, going home on fur lough about every five months. Now that I am in England, mere words can't tell you how much I en joy and appreciate it. Although I get lots of nice letters, they don't help me to know how Hertford is getting along and where the people have gotten to since the war started, like your paper does. It's a fine paper, Max . . .1 think every one that's seen it will say the same (if they were even outside the city limits). Max, I'm the kind that al ways likes to put in my two cents j worth and I can't help it. I wonder! if you can find room in your paper I weeKiy to state the Perquimans County boys that are overseas and their whereabouts, as near as pos sible. You see, Max, it's very pos sible to see each other, especially here in England, if we had some idea where each of us are. I think I can speak for all when I say . seeing one of my old buddies over here would be next to going home. Max, if it's impossible, please disre gard this. We hope this war will soon be over and we car go back home to find Hertford the same old wonderful place it was before the "krauts" got the bug in the belfry . . . . until then, I will be looking forward to each week's copy of The Perquimans Weekly. Sincerely, JAMES DOUGLAS ELLIOTT. "Somewhere In England."
