BLACK MARKET IN
POULTRY Is ADMITTED
IN LOWER DELAWARE
" Icontinued from E1rst Pase1

"A large number of operators
will not violate the law" Mr.. Bar.
alb declared. Some of the buyers
and a large number of the grow.
ers have absolutely clean hands
These are the people who place
love of their country. patriotism
pride and respect for our fighting
men ahead of greed for extra pen
nies."
Other Phase OF Probe
Mr.. Barab stated the present
poultry investigation is concentra-
ted on the live industry. hut may
take on other phases later. He said
undue publicity has been given to
the indictment of three small far
mers from this end of the state.
since this had no direct connection
with the general investigation now
under way.
He said the newly instituted COM
munity pricing. including poultry.
should do much to bring about the
consumer level enforcement es-
sential to the success of the entire
OPA program.
Mr.. Chandler maintained that
there is a very small amount of
black market dealing in lower Del
aware. He said it is natural that
some INSCRIPTIONS persons may
want to take advantage of the sit
uatiOn. but added il is not pre-
valent condition. He pointed out
the demand for poultry now is
three or four times greater than
normal.
A shortage of chicks he said.
can be attributed to the recent fire
at the Morris Hatcheries at Bish-
Opville. Md. having a capacity of
900 900 chicks week. now put
out of operation and which will
not be i'm production before Sep
tember or October.
Shortage Of Eggs
He added that the shortage can
also be laid to the fact that they
are unable to obtain as many eggs
from New England as they did in
the past He said many of the New
England eggs are being sold to
New England hatcheries for local
consumption. He stated much of
the dressed poultry is going to the
armed forces.
Commenting on newspaper re-
ports that many mid-western
trucks are now entering the area
for allegal illegal dealings in the
poultry industry, Mr. Chandler
pointed out that trucks from the
Midwest normally come there in
the spring where there is usually
an over supply of stock.
He said that investigation of the
poultry industry in lower Della
ware has, been going on for a month
and a half. with witnesses being
called to testify. and thus far
nothing has been publicly disclOs-
ed to substantiate rumOrs.
Six of the OPA staff are now on
the poultry investigation and five
others have been loaned by the
New York regional office.

INCENTIVE THE HANDSPRING

In a recent speech in which he
Landed labor and management for
their war record. Emil Schram,
president of the New York Stock
Exchange. said that the American
way of life will perform miracles
as great in peace as it is now per-
forming in war if the incentive of
freedom for unlimited accomplish
ment is permitted to operate.
IF we tell men that they may
earn just so much and no more"
Mr.. Schram said, "if we develop
the suspicion that large earnings
are socially uncouth. if we advance
farther in taking from the prudent
and productive to maintain the i'm
prOvident and the indolent, if we
teach that idleness is a virtue and
work is a curse, il we cultivate
jealousy toward the successful,
and if we encourage those who fail
to remain failures. we shall weaken
the moral fiber of our people and
the American way of life will de-
cay.
What we Americans want is pro-
ductiOn to create an ever rising
standard of living. Our wants and
our ambitions are unlimited" he
said. and we support the profit mo-
tive in that we are willing to ''re-
ward without limit those who give
us what we want"
This profit incentive, so long
under attack, is, IAN elemental in
stinct of American life" Mr.. Schram
"It is as firmly imbed-
ded in the laborer and in the small
business man as in the great indus
trialist. Without it, our enterprise
loses its handspring. So long
as we have free enterprise and
private property-so long as we do
not become a socialistic or a COM
munistic state-we must have pro-
fits and the profit incentive.
'In the postwar world. our gov
will have to nourish, rath-
er than merely tolerate, the profit
he said. "And / have no
doubt that it will do so."

Another Drive Is
Underway For Scrap
CONTINUED from First Page,

scrap iron is collected this spring,
it is doubtful if another salvage
drive will be necessary this year,
as this material probably will be
enough to keep the steel mills run
ming throughout the fall and win
ter months.
AS it is necessary to keep a re-
serve of scrap iron on hand, the
federal government must know
where this material is when it is
needed, consequently. these scrap
iron salvage campaigns must be
carried on in order to keep this
material constantly flowing into
the proper channels of our war in
dustries.

GOOD BROILERS CAN
BE GROWN on NEW
Low PROTEIN MASHES
tcoutinued from First Page,

throughout the feeding period.
Although broilers on low pro-
tein mash usually consume slight
ly more feed, in this case feed con-
sumption per pound of gain was
about equal in both groups.
The broilers finished on the low
protein mash saved one pound of
critical feedstuff such as dried
milk, meatscrap, soy bean oil meal,
alfalfa leaf meal. per broiler.
In view of the results of this
study. it seems perfectly possible
to stretch our already short sup
plies of protein so that more broil-
ers can be fed and at the same
time secure pre-war quality and
growth rates by finishing them on
a low protein mash.

lEAR FRIENDs:.


This is the final
full week of school
- for another group of
boys and girls. l
expect they are looking back
on the past twelve years as
long ones, but they have had
spots of being merry. The last
two years have certainly been
different from the other ten,
with teachers being transfer
red to war work and many of
the regular subjects being
stepped up for the benefit of
the boys who will soon be in
the service, too. A number
have already gone and the next
month or two will find several
more in the Army or Navy.
having been deferred until
that time or having become
service age. Commencement
exercises will he held in the
Plaza Theatre Monday evening,
at which time DR.. Frederick
Brown Harris of Washington,
chaplain of the U. S. Senate.
will be the speaker. The bac-
calaureate sermon will be
preached by DR.. Frank HersOn
in Avenue Methodist Church
Sunday morning at eleven.
These two gatherings will
probably be the last times that
the members of the Glass of
1943 will all be present for a
long time. Each class has the
hest intentions to keep in touch
with the boys and girls, but
time has a way of separating
them and distance prevents
keeping the dates for each
other. Whatever they do or
wherever they go we wish the
best for them. With this class
elementary and high school
days are completed as far as
my immediate family goes. but
the interest will continue, as
the well-being OF the local
school should be the concern
of every citizen.
Mrs. Leroy Stevenson and
Mrs. Charles Banning started
on Wednesday a trip which
will be enjoyable. They are .
on their way to Palm Springs,
where Lieutenant
and Mrs. William Stevenson
are living. This is the play
ground for the film colony and
with an adjacent Army field
there should be many interest
ing personalities. They went
west by the northern route and
will return through Texas,
stopping at Ell Paso to visit
Mrs. Stevenson's npehew, Cor
loral William Robinson. They
will be away a few weeks.

cher is the daughter of Mrs.

Never before have gardens
been of so much importance as
this year. Everyone has some
thing to say about the green
things that have become the
absorbing subject Energetic
neighbors on all sides of me
have very good prospects for
some future meals. We have
beans planted which will grow
on the boundary fence and
some tomato plants that look
quite perky since the rain.
These constitute our Victory
Garden. but it is all the room
we have unless the grass is
uprooted. When the surplus
of the well-planned vegetable
plots are taken to market, we
shall have the variety again
that we now spend our pre-
cious points to buy.
This seems to be the end of
the current news.
Always the same,
