Whether a girl may properly
write to a man who has left a re-
quest for letters at Service Club
depends upon the responsibility
assumed by the club directors.
In my personal opinion. a per-

Canteen that is willing to take

them should exact that a question
naire be filed in by the hostess-in-

meat sales.
Under the circumstances, what
should he do? 1t seems foolish to
instruct him to sell the whole heifer
and then buy half of it back. which
he will have to do if he is to have
enough meat for his family"
The OPA was prompt:
"A farmer, who is classified as
q non-quota slaughterer, may
slaughter as many animals of his
own as he chooses; there is no re-
striction as to this, but he cannot
deliver to another person a greater
amount of controlled meat derived
from his own slaughter than he did
during the corresponding period Of
last year.
In the case in question, the
farmer may not deliver to another
person any portion Of the meat de-
rived from the slaughter of the
heifer, but there is no restriction
on his using all Of this meat for his
own use, should he so desire"
Then the OPA tackled on this little
joker:
However, the Government de-
sires that each person voluntarily
limit himself to 2 pounds 3 ounces
Of meat per week"

The first consignment intended

on sale or held for the arrival of the
larger group. The pumps for public
distribution will be sold through
Peoples Drug Stores for S1.91.
Warden headquarters said Dis
trict trucks would start unloading
the 5000 pumps for the warden
service Monday, since trucks were
not available today and the freight
car had not reached a suitable un-
loading spot at the Pennsylvania
freight yards.
1t was emphasized that the pumps
would go only to sector posts which
maintain records and have a sepa-

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-"Farmer

slide rule, wore out his algebra book

half a heifer-and the OPA didn t
do much better.
Farmer Brown"-one of many
was stumped by this meat rationing
business. Here's the way the Mary

"A farmer who has always killed
hogs, but who has not heretofore
killed beef for his family use. has a
heifer which. he would like to
slaughter SO he can can one-half
of it for family use and sell the
other half.
However. the rule states that
farmers can sell only as much meat
as they sold last year. Last year this
man sold one hog and he has already
sold one hog this year.
With the hogs he has already
butchered for family use, his meat
ration would allow him to use about
one-half Of the heifer, but not the
whole.
He IS trying to do just what We
have asked all farmers to do, that
is, provide their own family's meat
supply.
