for military service and now back on
the farm is in the choice spot, since
the ex-service men have priority on
the small stocks of farm machinery
available. The boys are at the top of

and priority in the delivery of farm
machinery may partly repay dad for
being deprived of the boys services
while in the service.

100 Fake Sugar Slips
Found Since April

Disclosing that number of coun-
terfeit sugar coupons have been
found in Washington trade channels
since last April, j. Grahame Walker,
chief District OPA enforcement at
torney, today said that the number
has dropped in recent weeks.
Mr.. Walker said his Office has
evidence of more than 100 instances
of counterfeit coupons since April.
Mr.. Walker pointed out that when
Ia merchant turns a counterfeit
coupon into the OPA the amount
of sugar he sold is deducted from
his inventory. In some cases q mer-
chants license to sell sugar has
been suspended because he has been
involed repeatedly in counterfeit
coupon cases.
The enforcement attorney said
this method of enforcement is used
in order to channel scarce commodi-
ties through known trustworthy
channels.
His disclosure concerning the
bogus coupons followed arraignment
of Tony Petro, 81, of the TOO block
Seventh street Sc, before Municipal
Court Judge George D. Nelson yes
terday.
Petro was arrested by OPA agents
and fifth precinct police Tuesday
He was charged with passing
transferring and uttering of coun.
terfeit sugar coupons. He was re.
leased on $500 bond.
He was specifically accused ol
passing 40 coupons last April anc
40 more in July, Mr.. Walker said.

I'VE have not used horse meat,
