Heppner Gazette Times, April 15, 1943 3 Airs. America Meets the War Uniform ceiling prices on beef, veal and lamb, which become ef fective on April 15, place in Mrs. America's hands one of the most effective weapons to combat black markets in meat. Official OPA price ceilings will be posted in ev ery store and at every counter where meat is sold, and housewives can be certain they are not over charged for these are specific cents per pound retail ceilings. Pork prices were brought under uniform prices on April first. Previous to the uniform pricing it was difficult for a shopper to be certain whether her butcher was overcharging her because ceilings varied from store to store on the basis of the' indi vidual's top price for a base period. Now uniform ceilings make it pos sible for a housewife to know what the maximum price should be, and although her dealer can charge her less, he cannot demand more than the legal ceilings. Housewives are urged to report any overcharges to their local war price and rationing boards. If this spring your fancy turns to thoughts of a new electric or gas-operated refrigerator, you may be able to obtain one if you really need it. A WPB order will release 148,847 of these models to homes which cannot be served by other types of refrigerators. It will be necessary to fill out a government form obtainable from the dealer as a part of the transaction. A pur chaser must attest that the domestic mechanical refrigerator is needed since she has no other one nor is any other usable refrigeration equipment available. drying ingredient in nail enamel, now is used as explosives. How ever, there's little change in the nail polishes except for a little more time for drying. Although the color variety has been slightly cur tailed, there is still sufficient range of choice. However, there may be a reduction in color selections of nail polish as more dyes are required for war uses. Here's good news if you invested your number 17 stamp in a" pair of shoes which proved to be' defective due to workmanship or material. Local boards now may issue special shoe stamps to replace defective shoes in the light of certain condi tions. A signed statement is re quired from the shop where the shoes were bought stating that the shpes are defective because of either workmanship or materials and cannot be reasonably repaired. Furthermore, the shoes must have been returned to the dealer within 30 days of purchase with ration currency. But there's nothing the board can do if footwear is not satisfactory because of improper fitting. An appeal to Mrs. America's family has been issued by the de partment of agriculture not to be wasteful in the use of eggs, live baby chicks or ducklings during the nation's second wartime Easter. Ordinarily several million chicks and ducklings araf sold at Easter time, but many of these are lost because tots seldom give them the proper care. This year these chicks and ducklings will help provide food if , they are allowed to reach maturity. And probably the Easter bunny will be sparing with dyed eggs this year. Already the tradi tional Easter egg rolling on the "White House grounds has been cancelled. Lexington School Purchasing Bonds By MBS.
