AROUND TOWN (With J. B. C.) • Thanks to the Wednesday Afternoon Club for a $5.00 check, to help us in sending the paper to all local boys and girls in the service. • We hear that one of our lake hotels will be equipped with a heating plant and will stay open during the winter—-as soon as the war is over. Winter sports will be the drawing point.. • Wayne Blakesley says we can tell ’em that if he goes back into the restaurant business it will be at the same old stand —after it is rebuilt, if and when. The hotel rumor is “out.” • While fishing through the ice Saturday, A. J. Thibodeaux landed a nice big perch. The fish was flopping away on the ice as Mr. Thibodeaux was busy getting his bait on the hook>, when a dog .grabbed the fish and beat it for home —the N. C. Blocker residence. Since Mr. Thibodeaux had only one other fish besides the one the fish-eating dog took, he had to go to town and buy beefsteak for supper—and now he thinks that Blocker should at lea>.t furnish him with some meat ration points! • We have noticed during the past four war loan drives that towns where there is no newspaper, or where the newspaper does little to publicize the drive -—these towns have in every case fallen away down in the matter of attaining their goals, In Syracuse, The Journal, with the aid of about ten individuals, has in every case given widest publicity and we have always made our quota. In Warsaw they do likewise. The Journal cannot do this alone—we absolutely MUST have help, and we want to thank the following individuals who have in every war loan drive aided us. financially, by helping us in the matter of paid advertising: R. E. Thornburg, of the Thornburg Drug Co.; Noble C. Blocker, of The State Bank of Syracuse; A. L. Miller and W. C. Pracht, of Pickwick, Inc.;, C. C. Bachman, of Bachman’s Store; Ross Osborn, of Osborn Hardware; L. B. Whitehead, postmaster; Ted Hilbish, of Hilbish Drug Co.; Roscoe Howard, of Syracuse Electric Co.; and Perry and Dale Sprague, of the Syracuse Lbr. & Coal Co. There have been others who have aided us on one drive. We want to report on this last drive, just what we did do, financially. We ran a series of five advertisements sent us by the treasury department, which figured $87.50. We received from nine sponsors the sum of $43.00. The Journal just swallowed the loss. In addition to the advertising, we ran just as appealing a story on the front page as we knew how to write. We publicized the theater bond premier at no cost to anyone. We are telling these facts so that the merchants may know just how your newspaper is doing on the matter of bond advertising. War bond advertising is distinctly a losing proposition—just as war is in every angle. We do thank the sponsors of the war bond advertisements. We know they have been of great help in putting our community over the top in every drive. For The Journal’s efforts alongs these lines we have received a citation from the U. S. government—of which we do feel proud. Without help, we could never-have succeeded.

CHICAGOJMARKETS Despite a record slaughter of meat animals in 1943, the number of cattle and hogs on farms Jan. Ist was of all-time banner volume, while the supply of sheep and lambs decreased according to the government’s annual estimate. Cattle totaled 82,192,000, including 40,868,000 kept for dairy purposes. Hogs numbered 83,756,000 and sheep and lambs 51,716,000. Cattle numbers have been increasing since 1938 and hogs gaining since 1941. Sheep and lambs now total smallest since 1939. Big end of the steer and heifer runs now arriving is made up of short feds, more than the usual quota for this time of year. While long feds are comparatively scarce, top beeves seem unable to pass sl7, while best heifers are quotable up to $16.50. Country movement of stocker and feeder cattle continues of modest volume, the supply during January being 11 percent less than a year earlier. Handy weight butcher hogs are selling a little over the floor of $13.75, but bulk of the barrows and gilts continue at or below the support price. Sows are decreasing in numbers and prices are creeping upword. Lambs reached the highest basis in 15 years last week end, but reacted a little at outset of this week. There’s plenty of meat of all kinds on hand, the total supply now being slightly over one billion pounds, the most since March 1937. The supply of beef in itorage is largest since 1920; pork, unexceeded since July- ’4l; lamb and mutton holdings greatest since April 1921. Lard holdings are most generous since in September 1941. • Concord 9 -Marie LeCount spent Sunday with the Eston Clayton family. Patty Wyland called on Carol Wherledge Saturday. The Orb Dausman sale was well attended. The Dausman family has moved to Syracuse.

Bill is like the n that serves 130,000,000 Americans BILL is Sam Tucker’s errand boy. .. and a good one. But more than that, he is a living symbol of American railroads. For the railroads are the giant “errand boys” of the nation ... delivering goods to 130,000,000 Americans. When Bill grows older... enters business... he will call on the giant “errand boy” for help. His requirements will be strict. Service must squarely meet his demands. He will find his needs have been anticipated . . . will be well-cared for by railroads like the Baltimore & Ohio. Fully mobilized for war, we are planning for peace. Knowledge gained in war-time operation will be projected into even better service for the years ahead. B & O, the giant “errand boy” operating over U,OOQ miles of track, will be ready and willing to serve America well in the busy years of post-war. 4 - K. B WHITE. FtmuM
