Farmers Get OPA Ration Report Forms In order to assist farmers in send- ing OPA the ration points they eol- loct from the sale of rationed foods, local War Price and Rationing Boards are mailing direct to farmers in their areas the necessary report - ing form, addressed envelopes and complete instructions regarding the collection of ration stamps, W. G. Boedekcr, chairman of the Cass coun- ty local board said today. Farmers who either sell or trans fer rationed foods, such as fresh smoked meat, all types of sausage, lard, butter and cheese, are required to collect ration points from pur chasers. The number of points they should collect for these foods is list ed for the particular item on tbe offi- cial table or point values xor rauou ed meaty, fat?, and dairy proaucis. This t;;!e is available at botJi the County War Hoard and the Local War Pricj and Rationing boar 3 The full cooperation of farmers is ; essential for the success of the food j rationing programs, Mr. Boedeker j pointea out. unuer inese prugiams the main responsibility of farmers is simply this: 1. Farmers who sell or transfer rationed meats, fats, and dairy pro ducts are required to collect the num ber cf ration points listed on the table of point values for the item. 2. They are required to turn over to their local UPA Rationing board all ration points received from the sale of rationed foods. These points are to be surrendered with the re port for the month in which the sales were made. This report must ho marlo nnt latpr than 15 davs fol- lowing mat uiouiu. o .!., tioned foods must also register with their local rationing board. Those farmers who have not re ported to OPA, since they have not sold rationed meats or fats up to I this time, may not receive the re- porting form and instructions by mail. The form may be obtained, however, at any local board. It is not necessary for the farmer to go j to his local board to register. When j Virt filna hio firci- ronnrt ani submits !

THE Blue Devils Take Pioneers By The Score Of 13 - 6 Large Crowd Sees the Second Win of the Locals From the Pioneers Locals Use Pass Attack In Friday's return game with the Pioneers of Nebraska City, the old jinx of Plattsmouth, together with the fact that ten days had elapsed since the last game, almost proved a disaster as the Platters were able only to squeeze in a 13-6 victory at Nebraska City. Plattsmouth won the flip and chose to kick from the north goal, kicking down to the Nebraska City 6-yard line where the latter were forced to kick back to the 50. On a spectacular pass by Ed Gradoville, from the 25, to Vroman on the end zone, our first score was made. The forward rushing of the Nebraska City front line blocked the kick by Joe Gradoville for the extra point. The score 6-0 with the first touch down being made on the fourth play in the first quarter. On the second kick-off, Neb. City returned the ball to the 30, where they kicked, due to the numerous set-backs they re ceived, and Plattinouth received the ball on the 35-yard line. The Platters lost control of the ball aa result of a fumble, and the Pioneers recovered. Neb. City's first attempt to pass was foiled by the line back ers of the Platters. On two quick open plays, one by Doc Eaton and one by Beverage, the Platters Blue and WTiite were downed on the Pioneer's 30. Due to the powerful wall of Neb. City, the Blue Devils lost control of the ball to the op ponents. Neb. City, deciding to punt, did so to the 45. The first quarter ended with a score of 6-0 in favor of the Platters who also had possession of the ball on the 40. As the second quarter started, Wolever replaced the first stringer back, Joe Gradoville, who came out for a rest. Joe was all powerful in this game, having been out of prac tice for a time because of injuries received in the North game. On a false punt, Plattsmouth was thrown for a 10-yard loss. Tike's line back ing proved efficient when he stop ped the Pioneers from scoring. The Neb. City Eleven's first threat to score was early in the second quar ter when they took over the ball on their 40 and marched down to the S. where the fighting Blue Devils, aided by Pike and Eaton, stopped them and Plattsmouth took charge of the pigskin. Having stopped the first offensive threat of the Pioneers, the Platters kicked doing so back to the 50. The half ended with Platts mouth in possession of the ball and with a score of 6-0 Btill in favor of the Platters. . The second half started with Neb. City kicking off to Plattsmouth, Eaton taking the ball back to the Platter's 3S. Being deep in Neb. City's territory, Ed Gradoville thrust a pass and it was completed by Vroman on the 30. The Blue Devils' first attempt to score in the third quarter was stalled when Platts mouth tried a pass to score. Now, with the ball in. the clutches of the Pioneers, the latter, on an offensive thrust that baffled the Blue and White, scored on the Platters for the first time this year, making a tie of 6-6. Plattsmouth's forward wall stopped the Pioneers from plunging over for the extra point. After the Picneer s touchdown, they kicked eff to Plattsmouth and Eaton i brought the treasure back to the 38 I'latU'mouth was in control of the ball on tl:e C 0-yard line as the third quarter ended. Beverage's powerful driving of the punt of the Pioneers, brought the ball Lack to the Neb. City 35. Being penalized because of too many time outs, riattsmouth v.aa forced to kick. Neb. City returned the kick back to their 30. Due to no gains Platters took control. The Platter's line opened big holes to let Eaton roll through to set up the essentials for the second touchdown. After Doc had done his work, the ball was carried across the goaltby Capt. Ed Gradoville. The extra point was made by Livingston who completed i pass. The score 13-G. On tlie kick-off after the touch thg wUol(J front walJ was dc lcrmincd to smother tlie Pioneers from making any further sccoiing as were also the rest cf the fight ing eleven. They did a neat job of it, too, as the 13-G score remained at a ttandstjll throughout the few re maining minutes of the game. Jt niay be. truthfully said that loth teams played a good, fast and aggressive game but the Blue Dev ils of riattsmouth were able, for the second time this season to bhow. the struggling Pioneers who rules the roost between the two teams. 70UBNAX, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Plattsmouth Pos Neb.

Duxbury, County Judge Coal Miners Over Nation Start Slow Reurn To W ork Three Day Strike Estimated to Have Cost Ten Million Tons of Ccal and Disrupted Industry BY UNITED PRESS The nation's coal miners began a slow return to work today, ending a three-day strike which cost the war effort ten million tons of coal, disrupted production of steel, and left hundreds of home without fuel. The miners ended the strike in orders of President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers after ne gotiation of a wage contract with the government providing for $1.50 daily raise. The contract, negotiated with Coal Administrator Harold Ickes, must be approved by the War Labor Board, however, before it be comes effective. It will remain in effect as long as the mines are under government Op eration. The contract was basically the same as a previous agreement between miners and operators which was rejected by the WX.B. The new contract, however, calls for 15 more minutes of productive work daily to justify the $1.50 increase. Des pite the workers resumption, coal operators and government officials I believed the mines would not re sume their full productive capacity until next week, too late to avert curtailment of steel production. UMW of!ial8 said it would be a few days before all the 530,000 striking miners returned to the pits. The work resumption was slowed by the necessity of inspecting the mines before placing them in opera tion. Maintenance crews, however, had remained in the pits during the strike, and in many areas partial crews began limited production to day. Several small pits in eastern Ohio resumed operations, but larger mines were idle, and coal operators antici pated no mass return of the miners for 36 hours. In western Virginia the back-to-work movement was equally slowed is news of the new contract spread slowly through isolated mining camps. MANY DIE IN INDIA London, Nov. 4. (UP) Leopold S. Amery, Britain's secretary of state for India, told Commons today that about 8,000 persons died in Calcutta "directly or indirectly due to star vation," in the month ending Oct. 15th, and that there were no pros pects for immediate reduction of the Indian famine ravages.
