'PASHA ADVISES
 LOCAL YOUNG MEN
Those Enlisting as Air Cadets Told of Acute Liv-
 ing Quarters Shortage
(U. s. Navy from NEA Telephoto)

Naugatuck, March ll.-Chairman of the Naugatuck Aviation Cadet committee, Ralph s. Pasho, again urged local young men who have enlisted as cadets or who plan to do so in the future to remember that housing facilities in the vi- cinity of Army Air Force training centerS are still inadequate to ac- commodate the cadets alone and that owing to the acute shortage of living quarters dependents of mill tary personnel are finding 1t in- creasingly difficult to secure proper accommodations.
 Aviation cadets must devote their full time and energy to training and the presence of any of their de- pendents improperly housed proves an unwarranted burden. Mir. Pasho strongly urges the cadets not to have their dependents accompany them or plan to join them later.

culture intends to hit meatlegEine at the source with a three-point program. This will require anyone slaughhring for the sale of meat to have a permit, to slaughter under sanitary conditions. and to keep records for regular submission to Federal inspection. This means that all meat must bear permit stamp.
 All buyers and sellers (eXcept farmers operating on small scale) will have to have permits and keep complete records.
 All packers must set aside a certain percentage of their prod uct for government purchase. The amount will vary from month to month to ensure Q bigger back log in the peak-production winter months.
 OPA, of course, will have dol. ar-and-cents ceilings as well as rationing. This is expected, at long last. to clear up the house. wife's confusion as to just what she ought to pay for a cut of meat.

Vote Taken To Incorporate Club
Black Market: Second of Three Stories Retailer Never Buys Bootleg Meat InnOcently, Says OPA|
BY JAMES THRASHER NEA Stan Correspondent

Washington, March 1l-Probably the meanest and most vicious of war racketeers is the man officially designated as the country slaught- erer." He's the wise guy who has seen a chance to clean up at the ex- pense of civilian meat shortage.
 Maybe he's a member of one of the old prohibition gangs. (Meat packers insist that the surviving "Capone boys" and their brethren are in the black market, though the OPA hedges on confirmation). May be he's just small-business proprl- etor. At any rate, he's man with a little capital and no principle. And here is how he works
 He buys, or on rare occasions steals, cattle and hogs from term inal markets or direct from farm CTS. His slaughter house is a barn or a roadside field. Sanita- ton means nothing to him, and he doesn't mind in the least if the animals are old or diseased. He knows how he can sell them. And the fact that the consumer might contract tuberculosis. un- dulant fever, or an intestinal infec- tion from eating the meat is the conusmer's worry, not his.
 BY-PRODUCTS IGNORED
 Since his slaughtering technique is hit-or- miss. he combines waste with danger. H. usually begins by damaging the hide If he doesn't destroy 1t. thus depriving the gov ernment of leather. And since his ] best market is for red neat" he usually throws away such valuable nutriments as liver, kidneys, tongue, head and feet. Tossed aside and ig- nored are other by-products which are legitimately used for tankage and fertilizer, and which are des- perately needed today.
 In most cases the country slaueh- terer sells his product to the retail CT OPA discovered small-town Kentucky barber running meat "speakeasy" for customers in the back of his shop, but such cases are exceptions. Nor. avs OPA, are many farmers engaged in the country slaughter racket.
 The retailers position is under standable, If not excusable. His supply is about half of last years, and the demand, because of in- creased spending power, is greater. Some wholesalers will cut off his supply entirely if they even suspect that he is going to turn them in to OPA.
 But the retailer never buys boot leg meat innocently. He knows when he's being undercharged or over- charged, and he knows when meat hasn't passed through Federal in- spection.
 ROADSIDE BUTCHER MENACE
 Unfortunately the country slaugh- terers tribe is increasing Thus far, most of OPA's civil and crim- inal actions have been against legit- innate packers and wholesalers who have been overcharged or delivered more than their quota of meat.
 But the roadside butcher is go- ing to find the going tougher after April l. The Department of Agri-
