CONSUMERS of Heppner and Morrow County SpGCtxlCuldT CIS6 in prices of a few commodities has taken place despite assurances from high governmental author ity that no scarcity in food stuffs exists. Increased prices reflect only the rise in wholesale costs over which we have no control. These Independent Merchants of Heppner have not and will not change their policy of reasonable profit margins. As pointed out by Secretary Wallace, there is an abundance of all kinds of food in this country. Consumers can assist by avoid ing uncalled for increase in commodity prices by keeping their pur chases on a normal scale. Abnormal buying and hoarding will ex haust retail and wholesale stocks, thus creating an artificial scar city which will result in abnormally high prices and without compen sating benefits to producers. Adequate governmental machinery exists for stabilizing prices and supplies, and may be called upon if it should be neessary to pro tect consumers against violent price fluctuations. We pledge our co-operation with governmental agencies and producers in all efforts to stabilize prices, discourage profiteering, and maintain facilities for orderly food distribution.
