ARC Aquatic
Schools Train
l36 Negroes

WASHINGTON, D. CA total of
1856 Negroes received training to
qualify them as instructors in first
aid, water safety, or accident pre-
vention at the two American Red
Cross National Aquatic Schools
conducted this year at West Vir-
ginia State College, Institute, w.
Va, and at Tennessee A & I State
College for Negroes, Nashville
This number marked an increase of
"a over the enrolment in these
colleges last year.
A record number of 3,148 stu
dents took the training in the 26
Red Cross aquatic schools all over
the country in this twenty-fifth
year of operation, Alfred w. Can't
well, national administrator of the
First Aid, Water Safety and Acct
dent Prevention Service, announc-
ed. The 1945 enrolment, previous
all-time high, totaled 2,778, he said
For the first time in the history
Of the aquatic school system,
schools were held outside the con-
tinental limits of the United States
-one in Hawaii, where 49 were
enrolled, and another in the Philip
pine Islands, where attendance
numbered Ill.
First aid, water safety, and ac-
cident prevention classes are held
throughout the year in schools, in
camps, and among community
groups.

Mandatory Meat Grading

Mandatory Meat Grading
Discontinued
Missing from much of the meat
now being sold over the counter
will be the purple Federal grade
stamp that has become SO familiar
to consumers during the last few
years Reason for its absence is
that Federal grading is not COM
pulsory since OPA ceilings on meat
were removed on October Is. How
ever, Federal grading service is
still available to packers and
slaughterers on an optional basis
During the war, between 80 and
95 percent of all the meat sold in
the United States was Federally
graded. 1t was stamped Choice
Good, Commercial, or Utility as
judged by an impartial official
grader.

4-H' ers Curb
Market Makes
Good Profit

Clarence Harris, A. HClub youth
Of Shelby County, Tenn. is doing
a $1,000 a year business with his
roadside curb market near Mem
phis. says a report received by the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
from the Tennessee State Extension
Service.
Clarence got the idea for estab-
fishing a curb market from his
county agent, R. H. Brown, who has
been carrying out extension work
in the county for nearly % years.
Observing the heavy traffic of
workers who passed Clarence's
home every day going to and from
work, Mr. Brown suggested that
Clarence might sell them some of
the vegetables out of his club gar
den and fruit from the family's
pear, apple and peach trees.
So, one day in June of last year,
Clarence and his brother, Willie,
dragged a crudely built table into
their front yard near the highway,
and placed on it a few heads of
cabbage, a basket of tomatoes, and
three dozen ears of corn. Within a
couple of hours. they had sold out,
and Clarence was sold on the idea
of a curb market.
That evening he went to see a
carpenter about building a real
curb market for him. The carpen-
ter wrote a few figures down on
a piece Of paper and then said,
"Wen, the kind of market you want
will cost about $135, unless you
can find some cheap used lumber. y
Clarence tangled the S1145 he
had in his pocket and thought
about that $25 war bond he had
tucked away at home Altogether,
he could not raise more than $50
and the carpenter said it would cost
S135, unless he could find some
used lumber.
There was a little used lumber
around the house. His father had
renodeled their home a few months
before He collected all the used
lumber he could find and called
the carpenter to come take a look
at it. The carpenter measured the
scrap lumber and then gave Clar-
ence a new estimate of $79. He
was still $40 short even if he CASH
ed in his bond. but he did have
two calves which he planned to
raise. Perhaps he could sell them
A Week later, Clarence had sold
his calves and enough vegetables
off his crude table to plunk down
the $40 without touching his bond.
By the middle of July his market
was finished and he had made ar
rangements to buy fruits, vegetables
and chickens and eggs from neigh
boring farmers and resell them at
his market Clarence calls his
market the "4-H Club Roadside

TAX AVIATION

It also FOLLOWS that tho TCrr1tory has no interest what soovor in whether the mcr-''
 chant or exporter, etc. absorbs tho tax or passes it on. No separate account of tax moneys noed be kept as fer as tho Ter ri tory is concerned. The OPA's roouiromo nt es 10 the keeping of separate account nay be determined by consulting +,hc .CTA. Tho foregoing remarks apply to retail sales Tho sano principle would apply on uhol sal o sales made within the Torr itory. Tho whole Tor in preparing invoice or month ly statement to the rotoi would show
 tho charge made for hhe moro chandiso and an additional item of one-half of one percent for the tax. The retailer would pay said 1 tax to the who1o sal or when he ro1nits. Upon salo to the consumer, the retai ailer, if he chooses to pass on tho tntire tax, would bill the customer for l5s tax. The occrual or the tax not only pyramids from tran action to another, but does the proce ss cf passing it on. Te TOW como to tho question as to what is Q whole sale translation as distinquishod from reta il tran sact ion. The lav is we'll establ shed that retail tran sactions arc sales to the ult irnato consumer. All tronsa ct ions in conraoditi os prior to that final aole to q consumer arc to Dc classi- l flcd as a wholoso sales. To jllust rate:
 
 to q fish buyer or q cannory that is wGr1osole transact ion and tho revenue do- rived thorofron is toxnblc at tho rate of ono-half of ono percent.

Red Cross Campaign

Tomorrow will witness the start of
the annual Red Cross campaign for
funds with which to carry on for an
other wear. Kickoff sessions for the
women's and mems worker divisions are
scheduled, the first in Gilmour Hall,
First Presbyterian church at IL o'clock,
the second with dinner meeting in ST..
Johns church, which will be especially
notable for an address by Marion Barn
hill, former Army captain who endured
existence for eighteen months in Ger
man prison camp.
Within the following twenty four
hours worker-teams will move among
Wilmington's population soliciting sub
scriptions, with the goal set at SAL, 900.
The Star bespeaks a cordial welcome
from everybody for these workers who
are setting aside their personal and
business engagements to devote their
time to the solicitation.
It will be tremendous help both to
the Red Cross cause, which needs no
defense or explanation, and to the work.
ers, if the people of the community are
ready to give what they can afford on
the occasion of the first call. Return
visits consume time and effort that
could better be devoted to visiting other
donors with the result that the cam
paign would be shortened and the work.
ers' lot be eased.
In the interest of a speedy and sue
cessful campaign, you are asked to
have your check or cash ready when the
solicitor arrives.

Bring On Your Suits

The Office of Price Administration
has finally issued an order revising
prices of mems suits by which manu-
facturers are permitted to base their
prices on current costs but requires re-
turn to the average 1943 MAKEUP.
The order is expected to release
thousands Of suits to the retail trade.
AS Louis Rothschild of the National
Association of Retail Clothiers and
Furnishers puts it, the move should
break the DAM" When we quoted
Mr.. Rothschild last he claimed that at
least 100000 suits were withheld,
awaiting this order.
OPA confesses it's new directive will
bring an increase in price to purchas-
ers, which according to our limited
means of reasoning, is not an effective
way to prevent initiation, task to
which it is supposed to have dedicated
it's every effort.
Among male population far exceed
ing 100000 and every last man needing
new suit, this number cannot go far
toward meeting the demand. Initiation,
we have been told, results from demand
exceeding supply, with prospective buy
ers willing to pay through the nose''
for what they want.
But maybe OPA has some system of
it's own, beyond the comprehension OF
laymen, for circumventing the old rule
of supply and demand and the tidy way
1t has served to "hold the line" in past
ages.
At any rate, there is prospect thai
retail dealers will be getting more
suits, and maybe that's blessing II
that it could encourage manufacturers
to increase their output and the higher
the price the sooner will the surplus
money be spent and competition among
buyers ended.
Bring on your new suits!

1t May Be True

Some member of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee who is courageous
enough to forecast that Edwin W..
Pauley's nomination for undersecretary
of the Navy will finally be withdrawn
by midweek, but lacks the courage to
let his name be used, tells a Washington
reporter that the withdrawal plan is
black on the track again.
There is, of course, no reason it
should not hit derailer in the mean
time, as it has frequently done since the
committee started it's hearings, but
there is some probability that it may
not in the announcement by Senator
Tydings, who has been Pauley's chief
advocate during the hearings, that he
will give comprehensive report" of
the case by radio next Sunday.
This is taken as proof that the in
quiry will be closed by that time, in
which case Pauley will not be able to
carry out his avowed purpose to call a
great number of witnesses in the effort
to clear himself of the "vile charges
against him-all of which he designates
as "falsehoods' - and which would
carry the inquiry into the senate fu-
ture.
Should the unnamed Senator be
right, should Pauley actually withdraw
and go back to the Pacific Coast and
his oil operations, the administration
would be saved much trouble and Presi-
dent Truman great embarrassment.
Even though Mr.. Truman is report
ed to be in complete accord with Pauley
and ready to stand by his nomination
through thick and thin, he inevitably
would lose considerable public conf
dence at a time when he needs all the
public support he can muster.
