grams were held they were of in
spiration to the people and were
eagerly participated in by young
men and women, and the foundations
of permanent organization and an
nual repetition were laid.
THAT was the origin of II Am an
Il American Day "a name ex
pressing the patriotic emotion and
faith which long years before had
caused Daniel Webster, speaking at
the dedication of Bunker Hill monu-
ment, to pay tribute to the American
lives sacrificed on that historic spot
and to exclaim:
Thank God, am an American"
This fine American observance
came into being at critical time.
There were evil forces at work in
America, teaching American youth
that the forms of American govern
ment were obsolete, that the history
of America should be disparaged,
that it's ideals were of a pattern
identified with dead past
II Am an American" Day has
been an essential Offset to those evil
forces.
1t made American history an in
valuable and indispensable part of
the educational preparation of an
American citizen.
TT HAS been the means of making
the American people "more i'm
pressed by and demonstrative of
their heritage of freedom and their
American principles and institu-
tions," as Mr.. Hearst earnestly
hoped and confidently predicted in
his early endorsement of the citizen
ship observance.
America has gained more than
instruction in good citizenship and
inspiration for better citizenship
from II Am an American" Day.
America has been made strong,
in peace and in war, by an idea which
encouraged the people to appreciate
the meaning of American citizenship
an idea well worthy of a nation
which has justice and freedom and
peace as its supreme aspirations.

WHAT is happening 10 the
w small retail meat mer-
chant? Why Is he being put out
of business Are the residents
in our area being allotted their
full share OF the available meat
supply?
These questions were asked
by some of our members, and
the replies furnished US showed
an alarming condition existing
in present methods of meat dis
tribution.
II was stated that the armed
services and lend-lease need A
large percentage of the present
supply and that the balance is
for our use 1t is the methods
used in distributing our share
that is causing the trouble.
The small retail meat mer-
chant is forced 10 close his shop
because his share Of the quota
allowed his slaughterer is too
small 10 give him a sufficient
supply to operate and pay his
expenses.
He claims that because his
source OF supply stayed out Of
the black market its kill was
reduced in 1914. Now it's quota
for a month is set at 50 per
cent of what il killed in the
month of May, 1914
1t was explained that in 1912
when meat became scarce all
SlaughtererS were put on
quota based on a percentage of
their 194l kill which worked out
quite satisfactorily
Then later in 1912 when meat
became more plentiful the quota
basis was discontinued by OPA
and was not used during 1943
Then thousand upon thousand
of so called ALLEY" or barn
butchers started TO operate.
1t was stated that il was
common knowledge that they
paid higher than ceiling prices
for livestock. which enabled
them TO buy more and do
a bigger volumee OF business
than the old-established slaugh-
terer who depended on legiti-
mate sources of supply and paid
established ceiling prices. His
supply was reduced because the
black market was getting
large portion OF the available
livestock.
This results in giving the
legitimate operator a very low
quota because IT IS only 30 per
cent OF what he killed in 1914
and allows the black market
operator. who neither pai 4
points when buying or demanded
them when selling, TO establish
a high basis for his quota.
This small quota makes IL
impossible for him TO pay his
cost of operation and and when
his quota is split among his
, dealers il reduces their supply
10 such a low point they cannot
operate and pay their expenses.
To correct these conditions,
we strongly urge; A., Y
That OPA revise the method
NJ establishing quotas by chang
inc the basis from 1914 10 l94l
and eliminate all quotas based
on 1914 operations.

Virginia Assembly
To GET Pardon Plan
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 26.-Gov.
Darden will ask next months ex-
traordinary session of the General
Assembly to set up machinery for
organization of a State board of
pardons, authorized under the con-
stitutional amendment adopted in
the November election.
The Governor said definitely over
the week end that he will propose
the matter to the Assembly, but he
did not reveal what plan of organi-
zation he has in mind.
Gov. Darden's original plan was tc
organize the Pardon Board and the
existing Parole Board under sin
gle administrative agency and he
has not indicated that he has aban-
doned that idea. In fact, he has
stated repeatedly that he wishes to
avoid the creation of new agency
If possible.
How the reorganization of the
Parole Board. in the event it Is
merged with the new Pardon Board
Twill affect the personnel of the
former is not known. Gov. Darder
declined to discuss that phase. saH
The Pardon Board, whether it /:
set up within the Parole Board O,
separately, as the Assembly must
determine, is designed to relieve the
Governor of the burden of passing
on appeals for clemency, stays OF
execution and pleas for the comnu-
tation of death sentences.
