I have a book of Little Orphan Annie,
She has a very nice dog name Sandy.
Annie bought bonds and stamps
To help lick those Axis scamps.
From a foreign land a boy came with-
out a name,
Annie called him Driftwood and he
Said it would all be the same.
One day Driftwood got in a fight
Annie didn’t think that was right.
The boy he hit ran home a block.
When he got home he shut the door
and turned the lock.
That night he thought Driftwood
would be sad,
And really he was for he had been
bad.

Leaves.
The leaves are whirling round and
around,
They whirl and whirl over the ground.

Over the field and meadow they go.
They go as fast as the rivers flow.
Some are yellow, some are red!,
Some are even in color of lead.
Leaves are gold, leaves are brown,
All of them whirl over the ground.

Each grade of meat that is separ-
ated and displayed in the dealers
show case, must show either on the
meat or the container not only the
Brice of the meat but the grade as
wall, reported R. W. Williford, Chair-
man Price Panel, Freestone County
War Price and Ration Board.
This is easily done by the retailer
as the carcass bought from the whole-
saler bears this grade. “No retailer
shall remove the grade mark from
any carcass, wholesale or retail cut,
nor shall he put different grades of
meat together in a show case.”
It has been reported that in some
sections some dealers are selling low-
er grade meats at prices of the better
grade meats. The retailer is requir-
ed to show the price of the meat, not
only on the meat container but by
displaying the ceiling prices which is
furnished by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration. This list must be post-
ed near the meat counter and in a
place which enables the customer to
easily refer to it.
It is believed by the Freestone
County Price Panel, says Mr. Willi-
ford, that it is only necessary to call
attention to this law in order to put
an end to any violations that might
occur in this territory. Persons vio-
lating any provisions of this regula-
tion is subject to criminal penalties
as well as civil suits for $50.00 plus
cost should individuals wish to file
complaint.
Houswives are urged to assist re-
tailers by calling attention to this
law in case any retailer has over-
looked it.
An Expression
Of Appreciation
We take this means of expressing our
sincere appreciation to all those loyal work-
ers who toiled diligently and faithfully
throughout Freestone County during the re-
cent Red Cross drive for funds.
We desire also to thank each and every-
one who made a contribution to this most
worthy cause.
We have sincerely appreciated the in-
terest manifested by the newspapers of the
county, all of which have been liberal in
their support of the campaign, and have ren-
dered most valuable assistance to us and the
field workers in achieving our goal.
