Sugar retailers v/ere cautioned that acceptance of counterfeit or expired ration coupons may re- fu^t-in’their inability to sell sugar X:r /the t duration. / E. H. Talbert, OPA district di- -rector^at Cilumbia, pointed out that under the agency’s nsw jharge-back program, sugar deal- £i*s’ inventories will be reduced in the amount of the number of in valid coupons they accept. “Deal-* ^rs who continue to accept il legal coupons will force themselves cut of business,” Talbert said. 'aS&e director pointed out that it is not necessary for a merchant to be expert in detecting counterfeit coupons. “All the storekeeper has to do is to refuse to accept loose coupons,” he declared. “Coupons properly attached in ration books issued by local boards are gen uine.** bert pointed out. “As prices of better grade animals rose and beef ceiling prices held liable, a large] percentage of choice and good grade cattle went to a minority of I slaughterers selling meat Jxt ' a- bove ceiling prices. Legitimate J slaughterers and ordinary butch- sr shops got less than their usual) share of quality beef,” he said. “Our entire program of meat] price control was in danger of breaking down. By placing ceil-j ings on live cattle it will be pos sible to hold meat prices rigidly to present ceilings,” he said. In addition to protecting the public against any increase in the retail price of meat, the program is designed to prevent any sub stantial reduction in live cattle] prices which might cut down feed ing or production. The directive becomes effective u^nuary 29. — X ILITARY orders are higher now than ever before. War Production Board estimates for the First Quarter of 1945 show pulpwood is being used faster t -' 3 than it is cut In spite of all efforts to increase pulpwood production, the-situation has never been more critical than now. o m en IN THE HURCH i iHl arti Fourier Ceiling prices for fresh straw berries, f. o. b. shipping points in -Florida, have increased for the *est of January, E. H. Talbert, dis trict OPA dii^ctor at Columbia, -announced. The new prices may result in an increase of a cent a pint in retail sales, OPA said. The higher prices were manda tory under the “disaster” clause of the Stabilization Act, which pro vides for increases when * pro ducers' yields are reduced by ad verse growing- conditions. Freez ing temperatures in Florida were -taid to have “substantially” re duced the size of the January txop. The new shipping pointy ceiling prices are: Pint, 26 3-4 cents, an increase cf 3-4 cent. Quart, 51 1-2 cents, an increase cf I 1-2 cents. Pound, 34 cents, an increase of cne cent. Rations of fuel oil in the east coast area will be held at 10 gal lons per unit for Period three, be ginning January 15, E. H. Tal- iS district director, said. The ten-^gallon unit is being maintained on the recommenda tion of the Petroleum Administra tion for War. Although the unit value will continue to be the same rs it was for the two preceeding periods, PAW and OPA empha sized that users must ration their own daily use of oil very closely, since supplies at this period of the heating season are at the lowest point since rationing began. Mr. Talbert pointed out that in view of the excessively cold weather of the past weeks, main tenance of the 10 gallon value ac tually represent a cut to ration holders In relation to their in creased requirements. “Don’t forget that your sons know enough to put on their own rubbers now,” says Dr. Philip Jones, of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York City, speaking to church women of the pre-discharge education need ed in the church before the ser vicemen return. “They have be come adults in the hard, quick way. We need them in our churches, not as returning army and navy men, segregated from the ongoing chuch program, but to fill positions in our church.” He urges the formation of church wide councils which will plan not to be of obvious service to the returning veterans, but to act as “big brothers”. jf| To manufacture and ship the munitions needed in Europe and the Pacific, somebody must cut more pulpwood right now.

Philippine War belief of the U. S. A. will furnish che material; members of Local 10, Cutters Union of the C. I.

Unexpired suspension orders forbidding businesses to deal in rationed foods apply immediately The ordination of a woman min ister “for ecumenical work and the ministry of the written word” was recently conducted at the Broad way Tabernacle, New York City, with the approval of the New York City Congregational Church Association, the licensing body.

X — Brood Chicks On Clean Soil For Best Results Clemson, Jan. 13. — The best means of preventing diseases a- mong chicks is to brood on new ground each year, says P. H.

AUGUSTA, GA. brooder house. Others apparent ly do a good job of brooding but in the fall soon after the pullets start laying, some of the birds go blind, others become paralyzed, and mortality is unusually high. Such troubles as these result cialist, suggesting that portable from infestation by intestinal par- brooder houses are most desirable i asites, infections of coccidiosis, for the average farm where 100 and various other diseases while to 1000 chicks are brooded each year. Many people use the same range for two or three years with good results, and then without warning run into trouble which costs many times more than it would have cost to move the the pullets were young. Pullits brooded and ranged on cl a*.i ground may be moved into the permanent laying house when fi/e months old with little danger of trouble because at this time they have strength enough to resist disease germs and intestinal par- '■.i' asites. Clean the brooder house several days in advance. Operate the stove for two or three days be fore the chicks arrive to make sure it gives enough heat and is regulated properly. Cover the floor one inch deep with clean litter of finely cut hay, pinestraw, shavings, * cottonseed hulls, or coarse sand. If shavings, hulls, or sand are used, chicks may eat it and have digestive troubles. To prevent this, cover the litter with news papers, change these each day, remove them entirely after sever al days.
