WORLD FEDERATION
Statement Framed at Meeting of
Committee at Dover Friday

The enclosed statement was
framed at a meeting of the Kent
County Committee on World FEEDER
alton held in Dover last Friday ev-
ening. On March 5, 1943, the
House of Representatives of the
General Assembly of Delaware re-
jected the Resolution Favorable to
the Federation ohthe World. We
deplore this action because we be-
lieve it is not a true measure of the
opinion of the people of this State:
Many more organizations endorsed
the Resolution than opposed it; the
sentiment in favr of a strong world
organization is growing daily in
Delaware as in the country at large.
We propose: (1) To support vigor-
ously present moves to further the
collaboration of the nations as an
Immediately necessary step. (2)
To continue to work toward World
Federation as promising an end to
war between nations and the pres
ervation of our own cherished free
dom.

FOR
SALE OF MEAT
All Butchers and Farmers
Who Slaughter Are Required
To Have Permits April 1
CONTACT USDA BOARD

Announcement has been made
by the Food Distribution Admins
tration of the USDA in cooperation
with the Office of Price Admins
tration that all butchers and farm
ers who slaughter livestock for sale
will be required to have permits on
or before April l in order to COM
ply with these federal regulations
governing the sale of all meat. A
local slaughter is one who slaught-
cred livestock with a total live
weight in excess of 100000 pounds
during 1941, and who is not regis
tered with the Office of Price Adj
ministration and this same ruling
applies also to all butchers. A farm
lslaughterer is one who is chiefly
engaged in producing agricultural
products as the operator of farm,
and who slaughters livestock, and
who in 1941 did not deliver meat
from the slaughter of livestock
with a live weight of more than
10000 pounds.
Home Use Not Affected
Farmers who slaughter livestock
exclusively for home consumption
on their farms are not covered by
this Food Distribution Order. I'm
der the terms of this ruling those
persons who own the livestock at
the time of slaughter are considered
the slaughterers regardless of
whether they do the slaughtering
or whether it is done by other per-
sons for the owners. In other
words, persons who slaughter for
hire or on a custom basis are not
affected by this order except as the
order affects the persons for whom
the slaughtering is done.
Sanitary Facilities
No local slaughterers or butch
ers will be able to obtain permits
for slaughter unless they have first
provided at least minimum sanitary
facilities in compliance with feder-
al, state, county, or city inspection
ifsgriar1o1is.. 'ffig order iiic1l1e5
also the ruling that no local
slaughter, butcher, or farm slaught-
erer shall deliver or offer for de-
livery any meat or products pre-
pared in whole or in part from
meat which is diseased, unsound,
unhealthful or otherwise unfit for
human food. Persons required to
have these permits should contact
the office of their County USDA
War Board and fill their applica-
lions on or before April 1.

FUND DRIVE
NEARLY S14OO
George w. Wright, Chairman
of Drive, Urges Boost for
''Over the Top"
WORKERS COMMENDED

With approximately $1400 SUBJ
scribed on the $1,000 quota of the
War Fund Drive of the local Red
Cross, George w. Wright, chair
man is issuing an urgent appeal on
behalf of the drive to boost it over
the top. The success of the cam
paign SO far is very gratifying to
the chairman and the officers of the
Red Cross, and with just a little
added effort Smyrna will take its
place among the first towns to fill
their quotas. 1t must be remem-
bered that this year, because of the
demands of actual global warfare,
Iit is essential that all subscribers
give double what they gave last
year. Each citizen should reach
ia decision within himself and if he
has not contributed double he
should do so at once" Mr.. Wright
stated.
Further Plans Made
At a meeting of officers with Mr..
Wright on Tuesday evening, plans
Were made Tor an attempt to 'fh1fsh
the drive by the end of March. The
cooperation of everyone in the
Smyrna area is asked. 1.-THE work
of the solicitors deserves common
dalton and the response so far by
citizens and defense workers has
been very good. What is needed
now is the zest for a victorious fin
fish," said Mr.. Wright.

ASK FARMER TO
RETAIN STAMPS
Government Asking Farmers
To Retain Red Stamps for
Rationed Food They Produce
COLLECT WHEN SOLD

Many farmers those who
Operate on a very small scale-pro-
duce some of the foods included in
the new ration program for the use
of their families. Although the
new plan places no official restric-
TOMS on the use of any of these
foods at the farmers own table, the
government is requesting that farm
families retain red stamps in their
family ration books in an amount
equal in point value to the foods
produced and eaten at home.
Set Aside Point Stamps
A farmer who slaughters pig
he raised for the use of his family
for example, is asked to set aside
point stamps equal in point value
to the number of points he would
have to surrender if he bought the
equivalent amount of pork and
pork products at the store. Sim
ilarly, if he makes butter for the
use of his family, he is requested to
keep in his book, and not otherwise
use, the number of red stamps he
would need to buy the same amour.
of butter.
Collect From Customers
When farmer sells any of these
home produced foods, he must col
lect ration stamps from his custom
ers-even if they are neighbors-
on the basis of official point prices,
and turn these stamps in to the
OPA. Farmers will be instructed
later on just when and how to turn
in these stamps.

NO PULL USED
IN WAAC CAMP
State Recruiting Officer Tells
Smyrna Century Club
About Camp Life
LOCAL RECRUITING AIDS

Lieut.. Ida M. Hayes, state re-
icruiting officer WAC, speaking tc
the members of the Twentieth Cen
fury Club Friday at the home OF
Mrs. Andrew D. Cole told of the
training, which is identical with
that given the men. She said that
good health and endurance were es-
sentials for girls contemplating en-
listment. No specific schooling is
required but the girls are given a
mental alertness test. She present
ed an attractive picture of life at
camp, and said that altho the first
four weeks are hard the courses
and drills are stimulating. She as
serted that this was one place
where pull did not count; a girl had
to have the qualifications.
Many Fields Open
There are many fields open to
the girls: the Air Force needs thou
sands of girls to do ground work;
there is need for bakers and cooks,
motor transport, signal commune
cations, and a new field, that for
linguists. She said that SO per
cent of the girls want overseas SER
vice. Patriotism is the real motive
in back of most enlistments. There
is opportunity to save money;
WAAC's get the same pay as men
of corresponding rank, and those
fitted have a chance to become Of
ficers. With the bill having passed
the U. S. Senate and House of Rep
resentatives making the corps a
Women's Army Corps and not an
Auxiliary, it seems assured that it
will be given the Presidents sigma
ture.
Local Recruiting Aides
With the establishment of civil
ian committees for recruiting Mrs.
Thomas Russell was appointed for
Smyrna; Mrs. Julian Dunning for
CLAYTON and Mrs. Charles Roadway
for Hartly. Lieut.. Hayes will speak

Emphasizing that the new cut in
basic gasoline rations on the East
Coast increases the Importance of
car-sharing, the OPA has announc-
ed provisions for granting neces-
isary replacement rations to motor
lists needing their cars for occupa-
tional use. AS a result of OPA
action extending the valid period of
A-5 coupons from two months to
-four months, March % to July %,
which, in effect, reduced the mile
age in "a" coupon books by one
half-car owners in the East will
be eligible, beginning March %, for
supplemental rations for necessary
driving to and from work, or in
connection with work. However,
to get these additional rations, OPA
warned, applicants must first form
a car club to carry three or more
other persons to work regularly
Any applicant who does not form
such a club will be called upon by
his War Price and Rationing Board
to explain why he cannot do so, or,
he will be referred to his Plant
Transportation Committee or Local

Supplemental Rations
Boards in the East Coast area,

WORK OR FIGHT
BILL is PASSED
State Senate Approves Mea-
sure Aimed at LOafers
and Absenteeism
AGES 16 TO 80 AFFECTED

The work or fight" bill of Sem
ator Robert H. Yerkes, majority
floor leader, which provides penal
ties Off absenteeism was passed by
a vote of IL to in the Senate
Monday. The measure is aimed at
those who loiter on street corners
and chose who are happy to work
a little while, get some money and
then loaf" Senator Yerkes said. He
declared that the emergency at
home is as great as that in which
the armed forces are engaged and
pointed out that those close to ag-
riculture know the difficulties with
which farmers are now confronted.
Ages 16 to 80
None of. the provisions apply to
anyone engaged in a bonafide labor
dispute with an employer, or who
is temporarily laid off for lack of
work, Senator Yerkes said. He ex-
planned that while an employable,
under the bill, means any male in
the state between the ages of 16
and so who is mentally and physi-
cally capable of working, It does
not include a student, or one who is
awaiting induction into the armed
forces, having been ordered to re-
port for such induction.
Warns of Complacency
The war can be lost by COM
Iplacency on the home front, he
warned, especially if we don't get
the food raised and get it canned"
Senator Harris B. Mcdowell ex-
pressed hope that the bill would be
strictly enfroced when it becomes a
law. He said it should call atten-
ton of certain labor organizations
to the fact that it is about time
they thought of getting men to
work and keeping them at work
rather than seeking shorter hours
and more money.
Subject to Fine
The bill provides that any en-
playable not regularly and continu-
ously employed would be subject to
a fine of $40 or Imprisonment for
10 days, or both, for the first Of
tense, and ne of $25, or imprison-
ment for so days, or both, for each
subsequent offense. Any persons
voluntarily absenting himself from
essential work would be subject to
a ne of $40, or imprisonment of 20
days, or both, for the first offense,
and $50, or imprisonment for 40
days for each subsequent offense.
In non-essential work the fine
would be $40 or imprisonment of
ten days. The act would be effec-
tive for the duration of the war
emergency.
