TO TO March 19, 1943 THE WINONA REPUBLICAN-HERALD Page Three Livestock Dealers' Meetings Scheduled in Area Counties Merchants John Szuminski, Bus Line Must Have Superintendent, Retiring U.S. Permits Gatherings to Plan Fight Against 'Black Marketing' Preparations will be made to help stamp out "black marketing" of meat at meetings called by the county U. S. Department of Agriculture war boards in the county seats of each of five Southeastern Minnesota counties next week. The meetings have been scheduled as follows: Winona county Tuesday, 7:30 p.

at the Latsch Food Annex, Winona. Fillmore county Monday, 1:30 p. at the town hall, Preston. Wabasha county---Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., at the city hall, Wabasha. Houston Tuesday, 8 p.

at counties hall, Caledonia. Olmsted county Monday, 8 p. at the city hall, Rochester. These meetings are for all persons in each of the respective counties who slaughter livestock for sale and all dealers and agents who purchase and sell livestock. The county war board chairmen have requested also that all merchants and other individuals handling meat be present.

"This is imperative," said Raymond L. Schell, chairman of the Winona county war board, "because all slaughterers and livestock dealers must obtain permits from their respective war boards before midnight, March 31, if they wish to continue in business." Measures Held Necessary Mr. Schell explained that it is the federal government's view that these measures are necessary to help stamp out the "black marketing" of meat which, he asserted, has assumed such great proportions that is seriously threatening the war effort. Livestock dealers, slaughterers and butchers will be given details of the permit system at the county meetings, Mr. Schell explained, and applications for the permits will be available.

"If it 1 is impossible for some dealers to attend their respective warned Mr. Schell, "they should contact their war boards as soon as possible so that proper arrangements can be made in their cases." In each of the Southeastern Minnesota counties community AAA committeemen have been assigned the task of explaining the program to farmers and the committeemen have been asked to attend meetings next week. In Winona county a meeting of the AAA committeemen will be held Monday at 1:30 p. m. at the village hall at Lewiston at which time details of the program will be discussed so that the committeemen can pass them on to farmers in their communities.

Asked to Assist The county wartime food management committees have been asked to assist in the educational phases of the program. Harry L. Libera, Winona county committee chairman, today urged members of this organization to attend -the Tuesday meeting here in order to acquaint themselves fully with the program. He said cooperation of his committee is essential to the success of the undertaking. "The new program for national management of meat will not in itself stop the black Mr.

Schell said. "That will depend upon the cooperation of everyone, because we all eat meat. It will depend upon livestock dealers, producers, packers, health authorities, local law enforcement offoers, farmers and consumers." In explaining the program, Mr. Schell said permit holders will be required to stamp their permit number at least once on every whole- McCoy Irish Tenor Gives 'Concert' at Servicemen's Club You can't keep the Irish from celebrating St. Patrick's day, even if it is a day late, a worker at the local servicemen's club, said today, Dennis, an otherwise unidentified soldier from Camp McCoy, could not get a leave on the 17th but he got one on the 18th and came to Winona.

Lambert provided three hours of entertainment at the club last eyening. sale cut of meat. He said farmers are not required to obtain a permit to sell live animals but are asked to keep records of their purchases and sales. Farmers who slaughter meat strictly for their own consumption will not be required to obtain a permit, but if they sell any portion of the animal slaughtered they must obtain a permit before the sale is made. "Housewives can do.

more than anyone else to stamp out the 'black markets' endangering the health and morale of the people during these trying times," Mr. Schell said. "They should demand to see that the wholesale cut from which the piece of meat they are buying is marked with a permit number or with an official U. S. inspection stamp.

If it is not marked properly, they should refuse to buy. A Serious Menace' "Sale of diseased animals and animals tainted because of hauling without proper refrigeration is a serious menace to the health of our people," Mr. Schell declared. "Not only that, but our boys fighting for us may go without meat because of these unpatriotic people that operate the 'black -he said. "The armed forces recently have been able to obtain only a fraction of their needs for beef and have had to substitute pork.

This has cut down the reserve of pork. "We will slaughter around :000,000 pounds of meat (under federal Inspection) this year and pounds of that total will go to the armed forces and lend-lease. If the remainder is not distributed properly, some of us will go without." Harry O. Wicks is chairman of the Pillmore county war board, Willam Daley heads the Houston county board and Paul W. Dady is chairman in Wabasha county.

The Olmsted county chairman is Raymond J. Keane.

In recalling experiences during his career, he said, "These storms this week remind me of one we had during the days of the old street railway, "I can't just remember the year it was but I know it was in February that the storm hit. Just as occurred this week, it rained first and then froze. In many places more than four inches of ice formed on the streetcar tracks and power lines were broken by falling branches from trees and from the great weight of the ice. Transportation was at standstill for several hours while crews chopped the ice off the rails and repaired the Mr. Szuminski, who is married and has two grown sons, lives at 193 Harvester avenue.

As is common with so many men, his ambition after he retires is to fish "and then fish some more." "I've got a lot of back fishing to catch up on," he said.
