farmers and consumers fully appreciate the seriousness of the situa-

1 tion they will refuse to do business

“with the black market operator and put him out of business. There are two principal reasons why it is vital to close the avenues of illicit profit. First, the black markets are diverting supplies from usual distribution channels to such an extent that meat supplies for the army, navy and lend-lease are Jeopardized. (It isn’t exactly a secret that “the best fed army in the world” isn’t getting all the meat it needs.) :

Menace to Health

Second, the black market meat is a menace to health in the possible spread of disease through uninspected meat. Much of the illegal slaughtering, Mr, Snyder points out, is done under unsanitary conditions and the meat obtained is not properly refrigerated. Such meat will be especially dangerous as soon as the weather grows warmer. He says that housewives can, and should, report any price, or other meat regulation violation, directly to the OPA office. Such reports are

4 actually welcomed, he said.

Many persons would hesitate to - offend the butcher with which they have traded for a long time. But . the OPA points out that normally, . a complainant isn't called upon to - appear in actions against price gougers, etc.

“Y" ‘The housewife knows, too, just

how much meat she is entiteld to. She should know that every wholesale cut of meat in the butcher's cooler should be marked after Wednesday with the department of agriculture permit stamp and she can demand to see it.

‘Choice’ Is Highest

She will know, too, that when anyone offers to sell her extra ration coupons, that person is acting illegally. If a butcher offers a prime cut, of beef, she should know that there is no recognized commercial grade called prime. Choice is the highest commercial rating. Ceiling prices on pork will be in effect Thursday. Similar ceilings on lamb, beef, veal and other meats will follow shortly. The housewife then will know exactly the highest prices to be paid for grade and cut. If she has to pay more, she can demand a bill of sale and report the incident to OPA. The agency carries on from there with’ an investigation and the proper prosecuion. : A lot of trouble? Well, it’s really little when it comes right down to realizing that black market patrons «take the meat right off of soldiers’ plates—and eventually their own.

saws, hued its way through the wilderness west of the Blind school Sunday. Approximately 200 members’ of the Warfleigh Victory Garden club were out doing their bit of clearing up, road building and bridge building on three of the club’s six projects which included 40 acres in the vincinity of the school. The attack against briars, bramble bushes and other obstacles began at 9 a. m. with workers full of pep. It ended about 2 p. m. and workers dragged their weary feet home, searched for the nearest bathtub and moaned all evening about aching backs—providing they didn’t go to sleep first. Harry A. Peterson, club president, supervised the work. He did his Job so well that many “welldressed” workers resolved to wear their oldest clothes on next trips to the projects. They found they couldn't work in good clothes and couldn't be a slacker and a club member ‘at the same time. Plowing of the 40 acres is scheduled to be finished this week. Gardeners are expected to be out in full force next week-end to start planting.

Richard Coons has no illusions about the toil involved. “Looking at seed catalogs is fun,” he says, “but producing that fun is not pleasure, 'It’s good hard work.
