Poultry Prices Stick—
__ Pressures on poultry prices will
not permit removal of price con
trols at this time. E. H. Talbert,
PMrict Director in Colum
bia, said today.
A thorough investigation of the
poultry situation revealed that
nric°s paid to producers for live
poultry of all kinds are still pres-
rincr ceilings in many areas, Mr
Talbert pointed out. As for
wholesale prices, light turkeys and
heavy fowls press on ceilings in
the greatest number of areas, he
added.
Although recent prices have
shown some weakness, as they
always do at this time of the
veav. Mr. Talb°rt exolained. a
study of seasonal trends on poul
try prices shows that the lew
point comes in October and rises
to a high point in May.
Prize Livestock Free , From Con
trols—
T wo stock calves and hogs ex
hibited and auctioned at recog
nized fairs are exemnt from price
control. OPA District Director E.
H. Talbert said today. This ap
plies to all exhibitors, as well as
4-w clubs and FFA members.
The exemption was granted to
encourage exhibitors to return to
their peacetime showings, Mr.
Talbert explained. Since fairs
stimulate interest in improving
livestock and have a real educa
tional value, OPA feels that ex
hibitors should be granted this
price exemption, he added.
No Fxtra Sugar Now—
Industrial and institutional u-
sers of sugar were advised today
bv OPA District Director E. H.
Talbert that allotments will be
coninued at the same levels for
the first quarter of 1946 as dur
ing tho fourth quarter of this
year. The only exception is for
products which include jams,
jellies, fruit butters, and mar
malades.
Sugar allotments for institution
al users for the Januarv-February
neriod will be computed on the
basis of the same per-meal al
lowances as at the present, Mr.
Talbert said.
At the same time he announced
tbot. Ru^ar Stamp No. 39 will be
validated for consumer purchase
of five pounds of sugar on Jan-
uarv 1, and will expire April 30.
The civilian sugar allocation for
the first quarter of 1946 recently
announced by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is not suffici
ent to permit increasing rations
to various types of users, Mr. Tal-
ber said.
Plentv Of Spuds—
OPA will continue to suspend
wb’te potatoes from price con-
f vnl through next March 6, E. H.
Talbert, District Director, said to-
dav.
This action was taken in view
"f tt*e plentiful supply of potatoes
in the present crop, Mr. Talbert
exnlained. This year’s crop is
reported to be the second largest
in historv. he added.

The Message of Christmas to Am
World. j
Lessor, for December, 23: Luke 2z
114.
Memory Selection: Luke 2:14.
Jesus was born a King of heaven
and earth—Son of God and Scion 1
of the House of David. Though his
earthly parents dwelt in Nazareth,
the decree of • Augustus Caesar
or ought Joseph and Mary to the;
’ity of David- for the wondrous-
light in which Mary ‘’brought forth,
■ er first-born son . . . and laid him!
ir a manger.”
Swifter than reporter with a;
scoop, an angel bore the tidings, not,
to the wise and great in Jerusalem,
but to lowly shepherds. But no tid-'
ngs have ever gone over the earth
so fast, and they will go on for
ever. The angel was quickly fol-'
.owed by a host of angels, a heav-
nly choir, praising God. and say-
“Glory to God in the highest, j
And on earth peace among !
men in whom he is well )
pleased.”
All know the beautiful story. As
we read it again, let us think of
the meaning of Christmas. It tells
that heaven has touched the earth
and that men should turn to God at
Christmas time and all the time.
Such is sorely needed in a war-
torn world. Christmas brings hope
to the world—hope of peace, but;
peace “among men,” the Revised!
Version has it, “in whom he is well ;
pleased.” So may there be joy in;
your hearts because Jesus dwells -
therein and casts out all fear.
Christmas should be, first of all, the
Lord’s birthday. How could it be
otherwise? When some use it only;
as a holiday and a time of huge
feasting and merrymaking. May!
this be a joyous Christmas to you
because you make Jesus the best 1 "
present you can make on his birth
day—the gift of yourselves. j
