Meat Supervisors’
Duties Outlined
At Dallas Meet
DALLAS. June 29,—Plans for a
meat marketing program to assure
equitable distribution of available
supplies were outlined to area meat
marketing supervisors at a meeting
In Dallas, Thursday and Friday, by
E L. Upshaw, state representative
of the Food IDstrlbutipn Admin-
istration and meat marketing su-
pervisor for the Texas USDA war
board.
I,. J. Uappelman. Dallas, regional
FDA, administrator and B. F. Vance,
College Station, chairman of the
Texas war board, tol dtbe 16 meal
marketing supervisors that it would
be their responsibility to work with
and coordinate activities of county
war meat committees.
County committees, they said,
have beert established in all Texas
counties to handle local compliance
and distribution problems and to
review slaughter permits.
Problems which cannot lie solved
by the committees locally with the
assistance of area supervisors will
be referred to the State War Hoard
where they will be worked out in
cooperation with the FDA are.T
su perVlaors1 amt, Hhe~~cm«itiys1 fo r
which they are responsible. ,
The puFpose of the war meat
program, which was placed in op-
eration several weeks ago, is to
route meat in legitimate channels
of distribution to meet demands of
the armed forces and provide for
civilian requirements. It also will
help sump out black rtiarkets
which have been taking heavy toll
of current supplies.
By O. W. NOLEN
A few days ago J. L. Gil-
lespie, a long-time resident
of Odem, told of an incident
that happened when he used
to live at Floresville, in
which a man undertook to
whip another for $11.70 —
with unforeseen results. . . .
aiul member of "The justice of the peace at
The atmospti^rt*-Tile." Gillespie said, "was a
ibrary is notice- niighty Iine~frIIoW;-by thajjime of
Ferguson. One day a man rushed
Into Judge Ferguson's office ex-
cited. and angry and exclaimed:
" 'What -will it cost me to whip a
low-down rascal?.’
'The . usual fine for fighting is
$11.70,' Judge Ferguson said.
"'VVeJI. Tm gonna do it.' the man
shouted as he rfti out the door.

5 Ocean Navy
When Pearl Harbor burst upon us
our great expanse of territory was
protected by a one ocean navy of
about 350 first line ships with an
addition ot an approximate number
building.
"He went down the street to
where the man was he was’ going
to whip, and jumped on him. They
went around and around, fighting
for all they were worth. In a few
minutes the man's opponent got
the best of him and proceeded to
give him a good threshing. Just
as tie was putting on the finishing
touches the constable rushed up'
and-arrested them both for fight-
ing.
"Taken before J udge Ferguson
they both plead guilty to fighting
and paid a fine and cost of $11.7(1
"ich. The iM.iri wbl. u.is.-o eager to
whip the other fellow for $ 11.70
sure was mad when he discovered
that he not pitly had to pay the
fine, but got w hipped to boot."

BLUEPRINTS fa VICTORY
Day and night America's designers and draftsmen work on
our blueprints for victory. Every factory, airfield and
implement of war must first be put on paper by the men
who toil over the drawing boards. Because of their plan-
ning America was able to rush into production so fast.
Because of their dream* there'll
be a new world to live in after
the war. All honor to those who
chart roads to victory and beyond.
