Recommends Rat
Killing Campaign
District Sanitarian Pledges
Cooperation. Davis Speaks
To ROtarianS

Harry Webster, sanitarian of
the district health department,
told members of the Jeffersons
Rotary club here last Thurs
day night that there is a def
mite need for a rat extermin-
alton campaign here in the Jeff
ersons and pledged his full CO.
operation in putting on such a
drive.
He said the average rat de-
stroys from $18 to $28 worth OF
food, clothing and other things
during a year and declared that
the only way rat determination
campaign can be successful is to
make it community wide, with
the town officials giving full as
sistance.
Sanitarian Webster said that
two successful campaigns have
been conducted at Boone and de-
scribed the methods used there.
Wick Vannoy was in charge OF
the program and Ron Davis, prin-
cipal of the Jefferson high school,,
made an interesting talk on the
"pros and cons of federal aid to
schools, the subject that has been
chosen for the annual Rotary club
debates between the high schools
of the county.
Prof. Davis outlined and dis
cussed some of the major points
on both sides of this interesting
and timely question. He was

Farmers Are To
Collect Stamps
From Customers
Are Urged To Produce. Sur
plus Meat And Butter
. For Sale

Raleigh - North Carolina
farmers who produce meat and
butter at home for sale must,
collect from their customers the
correct amounts of red point
stamps in. War Ration Book 2, the
office Of price administration said
this week.
During the past week, while re-
tail sales of butter were frozen,
farmers of the state were permit
ted, under ruling by OPA, to
sell butter without collecting
point stamps from customers.
This authorization ended at mid
night Sunday, March %.
Under the meat-fats rationing
program, a farmer who sells
meat or butter or other home
produced items covered by the
program should keep a record
of all such products sold. At the
end of each month he will be re-
quired to 60 to his local war price
and rationing board and report
the number of pounds he has
sold, and he must turn over to
the board the red point stamps
he has collected during the month.
He must comply with this regu-
lation, the OPA said, whether he
sells to individuals or to stores.
At the same time, the OPA re-
quested that farmers who pro-
duce more meat, butter, etc., than
their families can consume, re-
frain from spending their own red
point stamps in War Ration Book
2. While farmers may do so if
they wish, the OPA emphasized,
they will make a valuable con-
tribution to the rationing program
by saving their point stamps in
such cases and making more ra-
toned fods available to persons
who do not have facilities for
producing foods at home.

Heavy Aerial Attack

Allied air forces took the lead
in the war this week, both in At

Whipped on land and furiously
bombarded from the air, Marshal
Erwin Rommels weary Africa
corps plunged toward Sfax after
being thrown out of Gables and
Ell HANNA. with the conquering
British eighth army in hot pur-
suit and with American forces
threatening his left flank.
The axis forces were drawing
back on the coastal highway run
ming 80 miles around the Gulf of
Gables to Sfax under relentless
pressure.
The German luftWaffe tried in
vain to fend off the devastating
allied air attacks, but these were
pressed home against the fleeing
enemy transports, and 300 vehi-
cles were either destroyed or da-
mayed. Lighted by the fires of

a scene from Dante's inferno.

sappers planted thousands of
mines and BOBBY traps to cover

no aspect of a rout.

Special Privilege

The Natl. Industrial Conference Board, an en-
ployers research organization reports that 1922 in
dustrial corporations made 11.6 per cent more in
net profits after all taxes had been paid in the first
six months of 1913 than in the first six months of
last year.
These lush profits which are typical of the
war profiteering throughout most of industry,
chiefly from the public pocketbook through
tract payments.
AS Clio Pres Murray points out they represent
special privilege" for group, at time when
blood is being spilled and lives being lost, when
the world is undergoing the rigors of the most ter
rifying war in history"
What Is wrong with Uncle Sam, who paid
out this money, taking back some Of this money
in increased profits and excess profits taxation?
And what Is wrong with limiting such special
privilege by $4,000 limit ON individual met
income?
Ask your Congressman II these steps aren't
preferable to trying to extract more taxes from
sential war workers who are not making enough for
a decent and healthy living.
