The BUYERS of merchandise to-

the storekeeper has to comply
with in order to supply their
needs. Take the case OF typical

miles around depend on that store

storekeeper works throughout the

into the night keeping track of
ration stamps, and endless rules
and regulations. Almost every
move he makes is under threat of
fine or Jail sentencefor a mistake.
Thousands OF stores are actually
going out of business to the real

THE WRONG METHOD

Information from responsible
sources concerning the price en-
forcement procedure now en-
ployed by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration is disturbing. Accord
ing to informed accounts, the
OPA plans to thoroughly check
the chain stores. and to not check
other kinds of stores until later
on. The reason for this inequitable
price administration has not been
made clear.
In a recent case. an OPA Off
cial discovered that a chain sys-
tenn had made an obviously mad
rcrtent violation of the Maximum
Price Regulations. The error oc-
CURED when a manufacturer re-
luced the number of units of a
packaged product, and this fact
was not reported to the head OF
flee OF the merchandising system
in question by its receiving de-
partment. AS a result. the mer-
!chandise was mistakenly priced.
When the matter was called to the
lattentiOn of store executives the
price was Immediately corrected.
IOPA attorneys admitted that this
was not a willful violation of the
law, but they suggested that if the
company would write check to
the United States Treasury equal
70 the amount of the accidental
overcharge. the case would be
closed: otherwise it would be
lreferred to OPA regional offices
presumably for court action. Fur
ther. the company was informed
that until the case was closed, il
could expect no relief on hard.

the tables are turned. We are on

In the new capitalism labor's
role is becoming more clearly de-
fined. The recognition is growing
that labor organizations. when
formed and administered with a
sense of public responsibility, can
be a useful cooperative element in
making the nations productive
machine more efficient. Labor. in
a sense. is going through the same
process of growth and adjustment
through which management has
passed. and can learn a lesson
from our experience. Labor need
only observe what happened to
management whenever its mis-
takes and eXcesses have collided
with larger public good to be

INCREASED FOOD GOALS
ARE FOR NEXT YEAR

Raleigh - North Cardinals war
food crop goals for 1914 call for
about farm production next year
with an increase of 342,500 addi-
tional acres, chiefly in soybeans,
peanuts, and hay crops, as re-
ported by the conference held
here between representatives of
all agricultural agencies in the
state and war food administration
officials from Washington.
The greatest need is for extra
milk, and VIA officials at first
suggested that the milk goal be
set at 1850 million pounds as
compared with the 1913 produc-
ton, estimated at 1,465 million
pounds. The conference discussion
brought out, however, that many
new milk producers have entered
the field only recently and so
VIA advanced the goal to 1923
million pounds for North Caro-
lima.
The conference noted that addi-
tional supplies of feed, especially
the oilseed meals, must be made
available to milk producers and
that milk prices must be based

LARD TO BE USED
IN MAKING OF SOAP

Washington - Lard - a food
item under civilian rationing since
April - now is to be used in the
manufacture of soap, to head off
soap rationing.
Lard supplies have reached a
point where government officials
consider it advisable to so divert
considerable quantities, and about
100,000,009 pounds have been al
lotted to soap makers during the
past few weeks by the war food
administration.
Lard normally is used only to
a very limited extent in soap
making or other industrial pro-
ducts.
Plans are being made to make
additional quantities, possibly as
much as 4OO,OOO,OOO pounds -
available for soap making during
the next IL months. Such alloca-
tons would depend on the avail
ability of supplies to meet present
civilian ration allowances and

Local Quint Wins
From N. Greek

The West Jefferson All-Star
Basketball quint nosed out the
fast-breaking Nathan's Creek
team in an extra period, 1923,
last Thursday night on the Ma
than's Creek hardwood.
This evened up the count at
one-all for the two teams.
The Nathan's Creek five took
a 7-point lead in the first quar-
ter and held 10 lead as the Sc
cond quarter began. "Hook-shot"
Lemly scored the first basket for
the locals early in the second
period to "break the ice", and
from this point on, the two teams
played close ball. The score at
intermission was 1913 for the
Nathan's Creek quint. The final
two periods were clearly but
savagely played with neither
team being able to build up any
comfortable lead. When the fin
al whistle blew, ending the
fourth quarter, the two teams
were dead-locked, 26-all.
In the extra five-minute peri
cd, two w. J. fouls gave the N.
c. boys a 1926 lead with two
minutes left to play. Freeman
scored the tying basket with a
"crip" shot and with one minute
left to play, "Tooney" Stansberry
flipped in a basket from the
corner, giving the locals a 30-28
lead. The two teams were try
ing desperately as the final
whistle blew.
Roy Freeman led the locals
with 10 points and Goodman led
the losers with 9 points. Names
scored points for N. c. while
"Sure-shot" Sexton scored 4 field
goals for 8 points.
