Library News ' .
The Perquimans County Library?
this week and until Christmas, is
featuring Christmas books of all'
kinds. On display are books for every
occasion and for all age groups. The
old favorites, Clement Moore's "Night
Before Christmas," "Why the Chimes
Rang," and "Dicketfs Christmas Car
ol" are there side by side with newer
titles too numerous to list here. But
a few deserve special mention.,
"Christmas Bells are Ringing" is a
treasury of Christmas poetry. The
Mexican "Legend of The Christmas
Flower" is an attractive little book
illustrated by Tom Lea. And for the
more mature reader "4,000 Yearawf
Christmas" is a remarkable book that
gives an unusuaLjnsight into the an-
rowed from the library, but in order
to make it possible for more people to
use them the borrowers will be asked
to 'return them after one week in
stead of the usual 14-day period.

Restrictions On
Slaughtering Lifted
Restrictions on the slaughtering of
livestock in North Carolina have been
lifted by th. Office of Price Stabi
lization, District Director J. Ray
Shute revealed here today.
'" Beginning Monday, November 24,
all persons wishing to slaughter live
stock have been privileged to do so
simply by registering with OPS, Mn
Shute pointed out. They must, how
ever, mark their registration number
on their meat.
The OfPIS district director explained
that the original restrictions were im
posed when livestock supplies were
short and they were designed to as
sure a nequitable distribution of the
available meat. At the present time
they were then, said Mr. Shute, and it
seems probable tfltat the current in
creases lhave baen keeping abreast
of increases in consumer demand. This,
has been reflected in the softening of
prices in several types of livestock
and meat, and for that reason condi
tions no longer justify exclusion of
new commercial slaughtering by re
stricting regulations. .
(Record-keeping requirements are al
so substantially reduced by the new or
der lifting restrictions, it was reveal-
ed. "''j; " '.' '
Any slaughterer who may desire
more detailed information about the
requirements remaining in effect may
obtain it by communicating with the
