Christmas Seal Sales
Set Record in Virginia
Total of $21o,344 Is

BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 15.-Vir-
ginians contributed record break
ing total of $216,344 to the Christ
mas Seal sale in December, George
w. Call, treasurer of the Virginia
tuberculosis Association, reported
today.
The 1912 total compares with
Sl04,597 raised in 1941, which was
the previous high-Water mark set by
the Virginia association and its
affiliated city and county associa-
tons and committees.
Frederick D. Hopkins, executive
secretary Of the National Tubercu-
loSis Association, who was in Rich
mond when the tentative result of
the 1912 sale was announced by
Mr.. Call, described the outcome as
most encouraging.
Mr.. Hopkins said the increase
in Virginia will exceed an apparent
increase of about 10 per cent for
the country as whole. He ascribed
Virginia's increase to the whole
hearted work of the volunteer local
tuberculosis organizations ..-------.----.
A second factor, he declared. is
due to higher incomes of people
eager to support such programs.

citizens of Arlington, Alexandria
and Fairfax that approximately so
per cent of the canned food produc-
ton in 1943 would be going to

the merchant will be the man who
will carry the heaviest load under
this program because of the great
amount of detail.

the Agriculture Department and
Office of Price Administration on
recent Federal orders affecting the

cations that lines were forming for
a fight against OPA plans to place
price ceiling on milk sold by milk
producers.
The officials, along with small
group of producers from four States,
including Virginia, were to meet
today in the Agriculture Depart
ment with officials of OPA and the
Food Distribution Administration
Frank Stewart of Montgomery,
Ala, president of the International
Association of Milk Control Agen-

ton, maintained the meeting was
being held in order to receive clari-
fication of the recent FDA order
abol1shing sales of pints and half
plnts of milk at retail stores. and
the OPA announcement that it
planned shortly to freeze producer
milk prices.
Directors or members of milk con-
troll agencies from the following
States are attending the conference:
Georgia, Indiana, Florida, Alabama,
Virginia, California, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Montana, Massachu-
setts, New York and New Hamp-
shire.

been attending sessions of the asso-
citation and the Northeastern Dairy
Conference in New York City. State
milk commissions are charged with
the control of milk prices and see
ing to the interests of both the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
The OPA intention to freeze
wholesale milk prices already has
aroused opposition from dairynen

ton milkshed at this time is exempt
from the forthcoming order.
Bruce B. Derrick, secretary-t treas
urer of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association, warned
last week that the OPA action
would result in a further milk
