State OPA
Gets Ready
For Revival
In the event that price control
Is reinstated, ii the local OPA
office all "set to go"? This Is
the principal question asked by
trade circles of Oregon OPA of
ficials at the moment.
The answer, according to
Oregon District Director McDan
null Brown, in that the local of
fice is exerting every effort to
expedite all current work and
have a "clean slate" if the new
OPA bill is passed.
"We are getting an increased
volume of calls as to prospects
for price control renewal,"
Brown said, "inquirers wanting
to know if we are 'all set to go
in the event that price controls
ere put back on." He said this is
further evidence of trade inter
est in future price problems.
The queries were noted par
ticularly from the building ma
terials and consumer durable
goods trade, he said.
Further reports from the pub
lic and the trade indicate that
restaurants generally are rais
ing their prices, Pat Wright,
restaurant price specialist, said
Thursday, with many establish
ments which did not raise prices
during the past two weeks,
starting to do so now.
Miss Wright said that prices
for fresh crab and shrimp at re
tail have gone up since June SO.
They had formerly been decon
trolled. Crab prices have ad
vanced from $1.50 a pound at
the end of June to $1.90 now,
and shrimp from $1.50 to $2 a
pound, indicating that prices of
some previously decontrolled
items are rising along with
prices on some items formerly
under price control.
If the 3 cent wholesale in
crease in butter prices were
adopted generally at retail, it
would result in a price of 84
cents in group 1 stores if the
usual mark-up were taken, OPA
price specialist pointed out. The
percentage would only be slight
ly less in the lower-priced stores.
, Mocabee Flys
New Piper Cub
Allan Mocabee, owner of the
Oregon Aircraft Service, re
turned last Thursday with a new
Piper demonstration ship, which,
he flew out from Lockhaven, Pa.
Coming the southern route
through Amarillo, Mocabee flew
the trip in 26 hours, 25 minutes
in a Cub Super Cruiser PA-12.
The ship, a three-place job, is
powered with a 100-horsepower
engine and cruised at about 105
miles per hour.
The ship, according to Moca
bee, is one of the most comfort
able of the light personal planes
now on the market, featuring
air-filled leather seats, a wide,
roomy cabin space and complete
soundproofing. The pilot's seat
is forward and a single seat, and
there is a side-by-side seat in the
rear for two passengers, offering
full visibility while flying.
Although in the larger ship
class, the new cub has a landing
speed of only 38 to 40 miles per
hour. Radio is optional, although
Piper plans call for building later
models with two-way radios as
standard equipment.
The ship will be at the newly
acquired municipal hangar for
demonstration from now on, ac
cording to Mocabee, and those
interested in riding in the new
ship may contact him there.
On The Beat
After a lifetime of globe
trotting, James H. Wilson has
decided to call Klamath Falls
home. "Wilson is assistant to the
city engineer. He has worked
at the city hall since April of
this year. Wilson was with the
bureau of reclamation for 18
years and when war broke out
was transferred to the army en
gineers, where he served for
two years. The last year of the
war, he spent as a civilian em
ploye of the navy. Wilson, his
wife, and seven-year-old daugh
ter, Patricia Marie, make their
home at 329 McKinley. Little
Patricia Marie is something of
a traveler too, and by the time
she was 1 1 months old had been
in 11 different states and Can
ada. The Wilsons have been in
Klamath Falls since 1943 and
like it so well they plan to stay.
Wilson is on Edna Killmeyer's
city hall beat.

board today asked that the can
ning sugar situation be clarified,
following a story In the paper
Saturday that an effort was
being made to get 10 pounds of
canning sugar per person.
Board representatives , said
that 10 pounds have already
been allotted, and were made
obtainable on Spare Stamps 9

pounds. It has been reported

first five pounds for general
purposes, but it was allotted for
canning, the OPA office said.
