OPA Plans
Apple Price
Gradation
.WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - JP) -The
office of price administration
tl is week .announced a plan . for
more gradual winter-to-summer
seasonal increases in the maximum
prices of apples of the 1943 crop.' ;
' Heretofore the rise . from 'Jan
uary to June was taken in two
steps. Under the new order' there
will be four smaller price hikes.
OPA said the action, effective
immediately, would have to effect
on .the average retail price of ap
pels over the six-month period.
The purpose of the change, the
agency, explained, is to provide
a more even distribution of the
fruit by months. Under1 the old
regulation, OPA stated, 'there was
a tendency to spoilage because
some shippers held apples for the
sharper price increases. -, : ;
Thm "fi-illrturiritr nmnnlM fa n
comparison ! of previous ; FOB
shipping point ceiling prices of
44-pound boxes of apples with
those under the new order:

January I $2.80 $2.94
February : 3.02 3.02
March 3.02 3.10
April, May, June 3.19 3.19
. Maximum price tables for other
container sizes and sales at other
distribution levels are similarly
adjusted. - -. -
Postwar Plans
For Building
CHICAGO, Jan. 20-(flJ)-Henry
J, Kaiser, famed builder of dams
and ships, urged the head men of
the nation's cities tonight to draft
plans for building superhighways.
schools and hospitals and rebuild
ing streets and slums when the
war ends.
He reported, in a sneech nre-
pared for the United States con
ference of mayors, that the eov-1
eminent - and industry were pre
paring . for the postwar era, and 1
maintained communities also
should get ready now "for the i
new life" to come.
There are still slum areas to I
be cleared,", he said. "There are
thousands of miles of narrow
streets, now wholly inadequate to
carry the normal traffic of the
day. Our , hospital facilities are
wholly inadequate. Many of our
schools belie the assertion that
our educational system is close
to perfection."
He : also envisioned suDerhish-
ways and vast underground park
ing facilities to meet the needs
of a possible 100 per cent increase
in urban auto travel.
Men, materials, ma chines.
power, initiative, and "know how
will all be available," Kaiser
stated. "The big question is how
such development can be fi
nanced."
He said cities were in relative
ly comfortable financial position.
He added highways c o u 1 d , be
made self -liquidating through
imposition of tolls. Anent other
projects, he suggested a sales tax
would "spread the cost so that
it will rest on all who enjoy the
benefits."' '
"When the war-torn cities of
Europe are rebuilt, as they will
be, ' under modern planning and
riociern n now Thimn and nmxr I
Russia may well challenge our
complacency," he asserted. . "If
the American spirit prevails, we 1
too, may build a new nation not
only in terms of the institutions
of freedom but in the physical
manifestations of progress."
No people in history. Kaiser
said, ever have contemplated
'such immeasurable prospects"
as those on our industrial hori
zon. He mentioned super-planes,
electronics, new types of auto
mobiles, synthetics, pre-fabri-
cated houses and air conditioning
among many developments in
the realm of realizable prom

Market Offers
Raccoon Meat
Coon meat, legal and hot ra
tioned, sold out quickly at 25
cents a 'pound when offered for
sale this week at the Wahl Sea
food and Poultry market, 150
North Commercial street, William
Wahl, manager, reported. . 1
The racoons are being trapped
in the vicinity of Sweet Home for
the .hides and putting the meat on
the market was done as an experi
ment, Wahl said. Before offering
it for sale the state police were
consulted. While it is illegal to
sell i a game animal it is legal to
sell a fur bearing animal, either
meat or fur, according to. the in
formation from the game division
of the state police.
Whether more of the raccoon
meat will be made available in
Salem is not known. Many south
ern ; people here, - familiar with
'coon meat, were eager to get it,
while others bought out of cur
iosity, Wahl gave as his opinion.
