Mo?eIey, Mgr. 915 Broad Street Slaughterers and Butchers Must Submit Records Must Be Submitted to Countjr War Meat Committee By July 20, 1943. "Every local slaughterer and butcher who hold* a permit to kill livestock for the sale of meat Is required to submit evidence by July 20th to shqw the amount of livestock he killed during the period on which his quota Is based, says Mr. J. P. Jeter, war meat marketing supervisor for this section of South Carolina. ; "Mr. J. P. Jeter said that unless such evidence was submitted to the county U8DA War Board in time, the butcher or local slaughterer may have his permit revoked. This order was issued on June 26. The War Food Administration is reviewing ull slaughter permits that have been is sued to date and will adjust them according to the records of what the holders killed in the period on which their quotas .are based. Because the permits were issued so quickly in the first place, a good many of them were bnsed on guesswork and inadequate records. "Evidence which will be accepted includes the applicant's books or records, records or statements of persons from whom he has bought livestock. grading certificates or inspection records, records of sales of hide's, or any other relevant evidence. Total sales of meat are not much help because it is difficult to separate meat purchased for resale from meat slaughtered by applicant. Neither is plant capacity of much use as evidence-," says Mr. Jeter, "because few plants operate at capacity very long." Have a Cuppa Garvanzos If You Can't Get Coffee SANTA BARBARA, CALIF.?Coffee drinkers may soon be brewing an ersatz coffee made from garvanzos, a chick pea grown here and in Mexico. Ordinarily garvanzos are cooked like peas or beans, but the county agricultural extension service reported that heavy shipments of them have been made to several major coffee companies. Santa Barbara county produced 200,000,000 pounds last year and has a larger planting this season. Alaska Eskimos Work for Army Women Making Garment? And Boots of Caribou and Sealskins. ... NOME, ALASKA ?Mrs. Ik-Puk is stuffing berries into a sealskin just now, but she'll be back at her war work in a week or so. Chief Spike didn't go berry picking. He stayed close to his office in the Polar Bear, and if he hadn't, a lot of freiglvt still would be stacked on the docks of half a dozen northern Alaska towns. So the Eskimo fights this war, which is almost at his frpzen door. Specifically, Mrs. Ik-Puk and soiAe 200 other Eskimo women in the villages along the Arctic shore have in the last year produced 5,000 sealskin parkas for use of the United States army. The money value alone is more than $100,000, and the value to troops on Arctic posts is inestimable. These caribou and seal skin garments are no beauties?that is, the ones the army gets?but without them a man can freeze very quickly. All Are Handmade. In addition to parkas, the Eskimo woinen have produced in smaller quantities fur boots, seal skin mukluks (high water-proof, cold-proof shoes), fur caps and gloves. Every garment is hand-made, every one sewed with the peculiar twisted Eskimo stitch, whiqh is invaluable in a garment which will be wet and dry, cold and warm in rapid succession, and over and over again. Much of the sewing is done with sine\y first chewed placidly by the steamstress. But all operations were suspended for the berry-picking season of about a month. Any fruit or fresh vegetable is at a premium among the natives even in summer in these latitudes, and in winter some fresh produce is essential. Thus, the packing into sealskin bags?where the berries keep fairly well in a sort of semi-fresh condition?is very necessary, and even war work must stop while it goes on. Other greens are picked at the same time, some of them to be preserved in pure seal oil in open buckets. The Eskimo house without a room full of such preserves, plus dried fish and a dozen other similar ; delicacA, is practically no house at , all. Proud of War Effort. , Chief Spike has brought practical- J ly all of his able-bodied men from < King Island to the mainland for ^ar \ work?which is why he spends so < much time in his office. To him j there come the complaints from dis- < satisfied Eskimo longshoremen and \ the demands by foremen for more < workers. In either case Spike Is the j I finil authority. In fact, he not only < tells the Eskimo workers what to do 1 but collects much of their pay. < These Eskimos operate possibly I the oldest communistic system on j the continent, and war time has not ^ changed it materially. Most of their earnings go into a common tribal ^ fund, from which are purchased the << needs of the entire native community. Spike gains little if any per- ] sonal profit from his transactions, 5 but he is absolute boss of the men ? in his tribe. The army knows and ! recognizes his power by transacting < all of its business with his people i through the smiling little man who ? haunts one end of the bar. j Chief Spike and his aid?whose ] name sounds vem much lika_Billikcn > ?are proiicT ojTfhefr wafeffort and of the men they have sent to the army itself. No Eskimo, of course, would think of mentioning the work of a woman as of any account; but they are proud of their women's work, too. And almost to a man, they ask . each new visitor: "What more can we do?" w _ Camden Soldier Writes of Life On African Front Lieut. Chcaley C. Jackson Likes the French Soldiers. Mrs W. L. Htokoa, 1201 Mill street, this city, has received an interesting letter /rem her son,' First Lieutenant Chesley Carlyle Jackaon, mailed under date ,of June 10 from Homewhere in North Africa. The letter in part reads aa follows: "Now that the censorship regulations huve been lifted somewhat, I'll try tb explain some of my activities since my arrival in North Africa." "As I have mentioned before, I was designated as heavy weapons instructor for the Franco-American school held here. The purpose of the school was to instruct French Officers and noncommissioned officers in the use of American equipment. It was really a pleasuro to work with the French because they are very receptive and eager to learn. The dreams of ail Frenchmen came true recently when they received enormous amounts of American equipment direct fropi the States.
