Aid Lumber Production To stimulate production of lum ber and other forest products re quired for war and essential ci vilian needs, WPB has set up a program to: 1. Locate and transport labor. 2. Obtain greater employment of women in the industry. 3. Locate stumpage for existir operations and put operators i:. touch with owners of merchanta ble forest products. 4.

Soft Wheat Flour Prices Up Prices ^of soft wheat flour sold by eastern, southern, and mid- western millers and blenders were raised approximately eight per cent by the OPA, because of in creased cost of wheat. Celling prices will be placed on soft wheat east of the Rocky mountains, to prevent further rises in soft wheat flour. Transportation Bill Proposed An emergency transportation act has been proposed by ODT to the South Carolina Legislature and the other state legislatures in ses sion to expedite war traffic.

We cannot know all about the wondrous mansion of which Jesus spoke; it is sufficient that we shall have a place in the bet ter world. No “housing problem” will trouble us there. The blessed words of Jesus lifted the troubled thought of the disciples beyond their sorrowing world to an eter nal one. When Jesus will come again, not even the angels know; it is enough that he has promised that he will come again and re ceive us unto himself. Consider the words used as the Golden Text. Jesus is the Way that leads to God. All we need to know of God we may learn through Him who is the Truth. And through the risen Lord we may have life more abundant— now and evermore. U. S. D. A.

Pork cuts given dollars and cents prices under OPA 336. 2. Pork products whose prices are fixed under general maxi mum price regulation, including: 3.

Department of Ag riculture War Boards will assume control of the slaughter of meat throughout South Carolina, it was announced today by R. W. Hamilton, state AAA administra tor, and R. E. Robb, state FDA supervisor. This meat control program, It was emphasized, is designed to curtail black markets, obtain more meat for war needs, and in sure fair distribution to civilians preparatory to rationing of meats. Uncfer the program, all slaugh terers, including farmers and lo cal butchers, must operate under the slaughter permit system. All live stock dealers will be required to obtain permits to buy and sell. When any farmer, butcher or packer exceeds his quota during the next three weeks, his quota v/ill be reduced for later periods. Farmers who slaughter solely for home consumption will not need permits, but if they plan to sell any meat they slaughter, they must obtain permits from USDA War Boards. Local botchers and meat pack ers throughout the state will be required to obtain slaughter per mits from USDA War Boards, as will meat dealers. Dealers will be required to keep complete rec ords, the announcement said, for subsequent government inspection. Slaughterers must keep com plete records for later government review, and all meat slaughtered must be stamped. Meat stamping. variety meats or offal (including temple m:at cutlets, brains, chit terlings, uver, plucks, kidneys, tongues, lips, snouts, ears, hearts, cheek and heat, meat, stomachs, weasand meat and heads), and quick frozen, cuts which are de livered to the retailer in individ ual packages in which he sells them. Ceiling prices on pork must be posted in each store beginning April 1, and, upon request, the retailer must give a customer a receipt showing the date, name and address of retailer, name and weight of each pork cut sold, and the price paid for it. No Clothes Rationing Elmer Davis, Director of the Office of War Information, after consultation with WPB Chairman Donald Nelson and OPA Chair man Prentiss Brown, stated that no rationing of clothes is in pres ent prospect. There is no short age of clothing now, nor of the textiles out of v/hich clothes are made, according to these officials. Lower Egg Prices Fixed mark-ups which retailers will use to establish their maxi mum prices on sales of eggs to the housewife have been set by OPA. The mark-up is figured over the retailer’s costs. This action will lower prices this spring somewhat under those es tablished by the temporary freeze of October, 1942. Venereal Disease Control The strictly military phase of venereal disease control has re cently been placed in the hands of the Army and Navy, the Of fice of Defense Health and Wel fare Services said. Medical exam inations and treatments in local communities are delegated to health authorities and made the direct responsibility of the U. S. Public Health Service. The Social Protection Section of the Office of Defense Health and Welfare Ser vices is to coordinate local action against prostitution and sexual promiscuity. The American Social Hygiene Association is to provide valuable informational and pro motional services.

No. The loss for broken con tainers is yours if you are re sponsible for the breakage. Q.
