C. Johnson, 4-county coordina­ tor stationed at Camp Adair re­ ports that a rent survey of com­ munities surrounding the camp will be started next week by a repre­ sentative of the rent division of OPA. This investigation is expected to relieve local authorities and cham­ bers of commerce of the problem of attempting to deal with rent vio­ lators, as a rent ceiling is in ef­ fect here. Johnson states that he is advised by the regional rent attorney that as a result of this investigation whatever measures are necessary to correct the violations will be placed into effect. This is brought about, Johnson points out, due to the unwilling­ ness on the part of some landlords to cooperate with the local boards already established in the towns surrounding Camp Adair. Any complaints that have not been filed with the coordinator’s office or with the chamber of com­ merce in the respective city should be so filed in writing within the next few days. & Mr. Frank Bennett, Notary Pub­ lic, has offered the services of his office as Notary to any soldier of the post with papers or documents to be notarized. Mr. Bennett is in the Transpor­ tation office at the Post Head­ quarters building and his service is offered gratis. —-J OPA Rent Inspector To Pay Visit to Corvallis Next Week Chances are if “Believe it or Not Ripley” hears about this, he’ll write back that he doesn’t believe it, but 1st Sgt.
