OPA Letter Indicates
No Meat Quota Increase

to the district office as slaughter
ers during the past two years.
Assuming, however that the To-
cal shortage was sufficiently
acute to warrant action on the
part of the District Office, they
were prepared to increase the
quotas of slaughterers i'll nearby
count es, provided they directed
this supply into Wilmington.
In summing up the local situa
ton, Mr.. Lake, District Rationing
Executive wrote: I do not mean
to say that there is enough mea.
in Wilmington for the people to
have what they want or to have
what they normally ate before the
war, but we cannot find that there
is a critical shortage of meat"
A request to increase the July
quotas of all Class II slaIghterers
in this district up to the amount
slaughtered by them in 1914, has
been fled with the Washington
'CPA, and authority granted fol-
such adjustments during the month
Of July. If the need for adjust.
lnent in Wilmington can be shown,
such adjustment will be made by
the district office.

The happiest man at Camp Davis
Last Monday night was Sgt. Purcell
II. Coalwell who early in the even
ing received a Red Cross telegram
from San Francisco stating that
his Austrian wife, Mrs. Gweneth
Margaret Coalwell, with their 15c
month old daughter, Margwen JOY
had arrived at the west coast port
earlier that day. Sgt. CoalWen left
On Tuesday with an emergency fur
Tough to his home in New Orleans
La, where he will meet his family
from the land down under"
Mrs. Coalwell's arrival in the
United States occurred three years
to the day that the sergeant first
met her in Australia. Her visa to
travel to the States was granted
last October, Sgt. Coalwell says.
and she has been literally sitting
on the docks at Brisbane waiting
to leave since that time.
Following his marriage in Febru-
airy, 1913, Sgt. Coalwen was sent
from Australia to New Guinea
where he worked as a weather OBJ
server. On his way back to the
States in February of this year af-
ter total of SO months overseas,
he saw his wife and, for the first
time, his daughter, in Australia.
The daughters name, Margwen,
is the sergeant's own creation, a
combination of syllables from his
Wife's two names. He suggested
it jokingly in a letter to his wife
from New Guinea, and when the
announcement of the daughters
birth came, it contained the unique
name. He is glad, however, that
his suggestion was taken seriously.
Sgt. Coalwell's hectic night on
onday did not keep him from max
ing future plans after he had calm
ed down and was trying to find
his cap.
Il know where I can get an $500
trailer for $780," he affirmed, Iii

here, I'm going to park it right out
side Camp Davis. I'm never going
to let my wife and baby out of my
sight again"

AS a result of information sub
rnitted at its request by City
Manager A. C. Nichols, the OPA
in Raleigh yesterday announced
in reply to a letter drawn uI
by local Attorney Clayton c.
Holmes requesting increased meat
slaughtering quotas in this area
that there were no signs that the
shortage in Wilmington was sui
ficiently acute to merit, an in
crease in slaughterer' permits.
At the sugges ion of the distric1
OPA office, Nichols agreed to fine
cut how much meat was shipped
weekly into Wilmington, and the
week of June 10 was designated
for experimental purposes. EST
mates offered by Rath, Morrell
bingham and Carolina packers in
dictated that $4,000 pounds o.
dressed meat was shipped into
Wilmington that week. Armour
ard Swift, who supply the majority
of the meat to Wilmington con
sumers, were unable to furnish
figures for that week because they
were compiling their distributor
reports.
From information which Mr..
Nichols was able to give us, the
letter continues, about the size
Of the operation OF these two
branch houses as compared With
the operations of the other pack
ers, whom Mr.. Nichols called the
minor packers, it appears that,
without considering any farm
siaughtering at all and assuming
that every person in New Hanover
county is a resident OF the city
and does not produce any meat for
his own use, the population of New
Hanover county had almost one
and three-fourths pounds of dress
ed meat per person per week, i
not more than that. Accordingly
we would have been unable to
make any adjustment even hao
there been any qualified Class II
slaughterers in New Hanover coun
~ who were in a position to d.
additional slaugntering."
The district OPA is authorized
20 grant increases, with the ap
proval of the regional offices, tt
qualified slaughterers in an area
where the meat supply does no
total one and seventy-five one
nundredths pounds of meat pei
person per week.
The District OPA office said tina
a further difficulty in the i'm
provement Of the local situation
lay in the fact that there wer,
practically no qualified slaughter
ers in New Hanover courty-or a
least very few who had reported

Every one agrees that the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Stettinius have
reached a good solution of a diff
cult problem. With the charter
written and certain to be ratified.
Mr.. Stettinius is obviously the right
man to be the American represen-
tative and, so to speak, managing
director in setting up the actual
machinery of the new international
organization.
That being the case, it is a great
pity that we are mulling over the
question whether Mr.. Stettinius's
new post is higher and more hon
critic than that of Secretary of
State. The question arose only be-
cause we have the notion that once
in public office a man acquires a
vested interest involving his honor,
his self-respect, and his reputation.
FTe must then stay in, go out, or go
up.
So, every tiroe it becomes neces-
sary or expedient to make an i'm
portant change, the President and
the office holder find themselves
in a state of neurotic embarrass-
ment about how faces are to be
saved.
Yet the remedy is simple and
obvious. It is to establish prece-
dents that when a change becomes
desirable, a public servant need
not be promoted, or kicked up
stairs, or dismissed to private life.
He can also be shifted to another
post.
In the armed services the re-
suffle of officers - between sea
and shore duty, field and staff, and
among the commands-is not only
accepted practice: it is a cardinal
principle of efficiency. In British
public life the reshuffling of men
is not onlv expected but required:
men qualify themselves for the
highest posts in the cabinet by
serving their time not in one de-
partment of government but in
many. For men who are to make

Fort Hays Official
Says PW's Lose Weight

HAYS, Kas., July 2.-P)-L. c.
Aicher, Fort Hays Experiment Sta
ton superintendent, declared today
that food allotments to Germans
in labor camps had been so sharply
reduced following disclosure of
prisoner of war atrocities in Ger
many that prisoners had lost 10 to
IL pounds and no longer were
able to do full days hard work.
Aicher made his assertion in a
letter to Rep. Frank Carlson, (R.
Kas.)
IF the Army desires to punish
German prisoners for what hap.
rened in Germany that, of course
is the Army's business" Aiche1
wrote.
However, I do say that such
treatment of the prisoners is very
unfair to all of us who hire them
as laborers and pay good wages
for their use. If the Army wishes
to punish them it would seem thai
the logical procedure would be tt
withdraw them from labor camps

for new men to appoint, the first
place, though not the only place,
to look is in the government itself
where patriotic devotion has
brought forward an unusual num-
Der of exceedingly able men.
1t is lnvldious to name names.
But few concrete examples NAV
be necessary to make an impor-
tant point clearer. The shift of Mr..
Stettinius is, of course, one ex-
ample. 1t is equally evident. it
seems to me, that Mr.. Rockefeller
is too good a man to let 60. and
yet that he has played his part in
Latin America, and it would be
we'll 10 shift him to a quite differ
ent field. Mr.. Biddle and Miss Per-
kins should not be let go entirely.
They have stored up in them an
experience which, applied in a new
field, perhaps some segment of our
foreign relations, could be valu-
able.
Let us have done with the d.
lemma of keeping a man in one
job forever or of having sentiment
tai crises every time there is to
be change. We cannot afford to
keep every one somewhere forevr
and we cannot afford to discard
and so waste faithful public serv-
ants who have acquired expe-
fence.
What an absurdity it is in our
public life to take the most Spec
tacular instance that we never
know what to do with an ex i
President. But it is just as absurd
not to find something that ex-
Cabinet officers and ex-Assistant
and the like can do.

First Chief Coolidge Fire Dept Arranges
"Sight-Seeing Tours" For Overseas Men

Answering fire alarms as chief
of Coolidge Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, TO answering call for air
transportation to the eternal city
of Rome seems like a mighty big
Jump. but 1t Col. Herbert E. Des
Georges, serving with the AAF in
Italy, took it in stride, according
to word received from overseas this
week. Head of the air priority and
transportation section of the 18th
Air Force, Col. Des Georges inaug-
urated a system at headquarters
in July. 1914, which would daily
enable % service personnel to
board a BIZ flying fortress TO
Rome.
Rome had been liberated just
month previously, and staff officers
of the 18th AAF felt it would be
great for morale and educational
purposes if trips to Rome could be
arranged for everyone in 18th Air
Force headquarters and attached
units.
Contracting Col. Des Georges it
wasn't long before five huge bomb
ers, which had been retired from
combat were converted into pas
senger liners" The quintet OF
heavies were completely stripped
of armament and furnished with
benches. All the pilots were COM
bat men who had completed their
tour of duty but had chosen to re-
main in this theater in non-opera-
tional jobs.
Every day (weather permitting
% people working in the various
sections of the 18th Air Force are
taken by truck or jeep to the air
port. One day headquarters work
ers are flown, the next day the ser

served for persons working in the
nearby hospitals taking care of 18th
AAF sick and wounded.

Upon landing at Rome airport

rest centers throughout town. When

draws to a close, the heavy bomber
is waiting to take the tourists"
back to duty. over $500 have TAX

Very few know that the one respon-
sible for the trip is Col Des Geor-
ges. However, knowing that he
has brought some joy into the
hearts of the service people doing a
grand job overseas is enough re-
ward for the colonel.
Prior to entering the service as a
flying cadet, in October, 1910, Col.
Des Georges was with the U. S.

rigation Service in Coolidge. where
he worked as property clerk.

Soldier Receives
Xmas Edition AT
Lonely Outpost

A jeep made its way over snow
covered battle-scarred terrain to-
ward a lonely guard outpost on the
borders of France sometime in jan
uary. It's driver knew he would be
welcome for he brought mail for
the three men "Alabam," big
Dutch" and Cpl. Horace ]. Chesley,
who guard the desolate outpost.
There was bulky envelope for the
latter, tanning a Christmas
Greeting Edition from his home
town, Coolidge. 81 thought you
would be interested in hearing of
the destination of one of these Edi-
tions," Chesley wrote. 1T was the
only reading material available and
the three men at the outpost made
the most of it. Although Alabam
and Big Dutch had never been near
Coolidge they enjoyed the pictures
and messages almost as much as
did and wondered why their home
towns did not do something SINH
lar"
Sometimes they looked at the
edition together, and sometimes
separately, for the dugout they
shared was only six by twelve feet
and four feet deep. 1t was very cold
