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."

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

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?"

Mrs W. L. Htokoa, 1201 Mill street,

letter /rem her son,' First Lieutenant

date ,of June 10 from Homewhere

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.
