Housewife Declares Meat
Supply In Stores Is Low
Among the number of citizens
who have responded to the request
of the city, the Greater Wilming
ton Chamber of Commerce, and
the Star-News for information on
ihe meat supply in Wilmington is
one housewife, who states, in a
reply that is typical, that “we are
net. able to buy meat unless we
happen to be in the stores at the
time what little comes in is cut.
We haven't had a roast for Sunday
in three months.”
The housewife continued: “About
the only kinds of meat we are
able to buy are weiners and pork
and. once in a while, a piece of
ham. We have 100 red points left
this period. We have been able
to get no beef in two weeks.”
The woman, who filed her report
by way of a coupon clipped from
the Star-News, is not a newcomer
to the city.
F. O. Fockler. secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, stressed
the necessity Tuesday for forward
ing accurate, intelligent informa
tion. He said that mention of spe
cific amounts would be most help
ful.
Every family head in the city
has been urged by the cooperating
agencies to clip the newspaper
coupon. Only by securing a true
picture of the meat shortage in
the community can the condition
be remedied. Mayor Bruce B.
Cameron has pointed out.
“We must have facts and fig
ures to fight this thing,” he said.
Speed in sending in the desired
data is an important factor to
bear in mind.

COUNTY TO GET
FPHA TAX FUND
(Continued from Page One)
in lieu of 1943 taxes, is expected
to increase appreciably, because
the enlarged Maffitt Village pro
ject, consisting of 3,700 units, has
been located on county property.
The 1942 payments are on hous
ing projects installed and occupied
last year.
City Manager A. C. Nichols an
nounced Monday that the Federal
government expects to forward a
check for $28,000 to the City of
Wilmington for payments in lieu
of 1942 taxes. A total of $38,342
will have been paid the city gov
ernment.
Conferences to work out the
scale of payments were recently
held, with representatives of the
Federal Public Housing Authori
ty, the city, the county, and. the
Housing Authority of the City of
Wilmington in attendance.

TENSION RISES
OVER INVASION

effective “because of the deadly
seriousness behind it.”
The extent of Allied propaganda
was demonstrated by Virginio Gay
da, Fascist mouthpiece, who com
pared Italy to an obdurate donkey
belabored not only by the cudgel
of Allied bombings but also by
the blandishments of carrots—leaf
let appeals from President Roose
velt and General Dwight D. Eisen
hower—in an effort to induce Italy
to cease fighting and accept a sep
arate peace.
German propaganda was effec
tive only so long as it was backed
by the blitz, said the National
Zeitung. but now the Allies have
a “decisive advantage since their
reports are accompanied by facts,
such as the taking of Tunis, Pan
telleria and the smashing bombs
in the Ruhr valley and on southern
Itlay.”
