Mrs. Charles Lee Bragg and
Miss Emma Tillery were joint host
esses to Stamp Defiance Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, at the home of Mrs. Bragg,

The devotional was led by Mrs.
N. L. Foy, chaplain, after which
the pledge of allegiance to the flag
was led by Mrs. Kyle Bannerman,
chairman of correct use Of the
flag.
Mrs. c. Wayne Spencer reported

together meeting at her home, and
had planned a supper party at an
early date.
Mrs. John Birmingham reported
a radio program outlining the work
of the OAR which was given over
the local station.
A letter was read from Mr.
Camp, superintendent of Moore's
Creek battle-ground, expressing
pleasure that the chapter would
again resume its pilgrimage to that
national military park to celebrate
flag day in June. These journeys
to the battle-ground having been
curtailed during the war. The chap
ter plans to plant constitution
tree there in the near future.
Another important announcement
was heard which met with unani-
NOUS favor was that the Stamp
Defiance Chapter was cooperating
with civic organizations in sending
gifts to Wilmington, England.
Mrs. Spencer called to the atten-
ton of the members present that
the state conference in Charlotte
closed the old year and reminded
all chapter chairmen that new

ued interest ard cooperation, and
said the OAR have an extensive
educational program, sponsoring
eleven schools.
Mrs. James M. James, enthusi-
astic delegate to the state confer
ence, was presented for report
on the meeting. She prefaced her
report by proudly exhibiting her Of
fetal tag, and highlighted her talk
by quoting Mrs. Manlove, record
ing secretary general, and other
national state officers who appear
ed on the program, ending her re-
port by telling the members that
North Carolina pine tops figured
prominently in the decorative
scheme.
At the close of the meeting Mrs.
Bragg invited the members into
the dining room, where the table
was especially lovely with hand
some banquet cloth and graced
with a crystal bowl filled with
white spring flowers, flanked on
either side with antique crystal
candelabra. The refreshments con-
sisted of dainty sandwiches, cakes,
in the shamrock motif, green
minis all suggestive Of Saint Pa
tricks Day. Punch was poured by
Miss Tillery. Mrs. Bragg and Miss
Tillery were assisted in serving by

YOUR FACS WILL
Be HIGHER TODAY
OPA Grants Retail Price
Increase OF One-HaIf
Cent Per Package

WASHINGTON, April 24.-UD-
An increase of IL cent a pack in
wholesale and retail cigarette cell
ing prices was authorized by OPA
Wednesday night to compensate
for rising production costs, chief
ly costs of domestic leaf tobacco.
OPA officials said the price hike
would become operative Thursday,
but would not be effective for any
wholesaler or retailer until he has
received formal notice OF the
change from his supplier.
Machines, Too
Maximum prices on cigarettes
sold through vending machines
also are raised one cent per pack
because, OPA said, the companies
have submitted data indicating
their profits would be cut below
pre-war levels if they were not
permitted to pass their cost In
creases on to the consumer.
OPA explained that cigarette
production costs have gone up
about one cent per pack since cell
ings were imposed in 1912. Re.
tailers, however, made up about
half the rise by rounding out to q
full cent the IL cent federal
excise tax levied in November,
1912.
Singles Exempt
The new ceiling rise will not at
feet prices of single packs, but
will permit dealers to charge an
extra IL cent per pack On sales
Of two or more packs.
Stores that formerly sold Camels,
Chesterfields. Lucky Strikes, Old
Colds, Philip Morris, Raleighs and
other popular" brands at IA cents
pack, two for 26 cents, now will
be permitted to raise the tWo-pack
price to n cents.
Popular Brands
The popular brands account for
about 80 per cent of all sales, and
are under Greece" type ceilings
in retail stores, with each seller
held to the highest price he
charged in March, 1912, plus fed
eral and state taxes added since
that time.

MORE ABOUT
FISH
FROM PAGE ONE

a statement to the Star marking
1--WE are now beginning to tap to
the fullest :. the vast food stores
of the rivers, sounds and ocean,"
The full text of the Governors
statement follows:
North Carolina with its expan-
sive coast has a potential seafood
industry that has scarcely been
touched. 1t is heartening that COM
mercial fishing interests in Will
mington and South East Airlines
are cooperating IN launching a
service that will fly fresh fish to
the interior and western sections
of our state. This will provide
residents of the inland sections
Of North Carolina with the food
products of the ocean within a
short time after they are remov-
ed from the boats.
Caugh. In Morning
ED Clemmons, commercial
fisherman of Wrightsviue Sound,
today delivered in Raleigh, a boy
of fish by the way of South East
plane. He caught the fish early
this morning and handed them to
me in Raleigh at 1925 a. m, actu.
ally matter of minutes from the
time they left the water. The fish
were still alive when they were
iced at the Wilmington airport,
was told.
This is but sample of the pos
sibilities that lie ahead in this new
age of flight and in this new era
of development in North Carolina.
We are now beginning to tap to the
fullest all our resources-the vast
food stores of the rivers, sounds
and ocean included.'
without Icing"
The fish, which included sea
trout, spots, Virginia mullet and
sea perch, were packed in regu-
lation tin shipping box with a
small amount Of ice, but Glenn
mons stated that seafood could be
shipped by air to any North Caro-
lima city without icing and arrive
in good condition. He also advanc-
ed the possibility of longer ship
ments requiring icing.
This season, sink netting is being
tried by local commercial fisher
men for the first time, Clemmons
said.
This type of fishing differs from
drag netting in that the nets are
sunk on the ocean floor overnight
and hauled in the morning and has
been found the most productive
method in the long-run by North
Carolina fishermen, he explained.
Plenty OF Fish
Clemmons said that there were
just as many fish in waters off
Wrightsville as in other coastal
sections and that lack Of boats and
equipment is all that prevents a
huge seafood harvest from being
reaped.
Others engaged in sink netting
