SCOTT is IN FAVOR
OF LUNCH PROGRAM

Raleigh - Commissioner of Ag-

opinion that North Caroline
should assume the sponsoring OF
a school program throughout the
State "as soon as funds can be
provided"
The responsibility of providing
warm lunches for the rural chill
dren, Scott said, should rest with
the State, 'since the Federal gov
eminent must now concern itself
with the prosecution of the war
and the establishment of plans for
the postwar world"
He declared that the school
lunch program should be carried
into every county $50 that we may
build a stronger rural North Car

MONTGOMERY WARD CO.

Washington - Chairman Will
liam H. Davis of the War Labor
Board this week defended the
boards jurisdiction in the Mont
gomery Ward labor dispute as
members of the House Military
Affairs Committee indicated they

authority to requisition property
for war purposes. -r
ma letter to Senator Harry F.
Byrd (D-Va.), WHO had demanded
an explanation of the Govern

OPA Announces More Canned
Goods Now Become UnratiOned

Washington - Eight more kinds
of canned vegetables get mot ra-

ministration says point values
twill have to be restored" later in

ranging from three to ten points
on number 2 cans of corn, toma-
toes, beets, spinach, asparagus,
leafy greens, blackeye peas and

ted soups, with clam chowder and
other seafood varieties cut two
points and all other types one
point for ten and a half ounce

twice the number now required.
Two-point reductions are ordered
for pound-sized containers of
grape and tomato preserves, ap-
pie, grape, mint and plum jellies
