New Meat Ceiling Prices Effective Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown issued on April 5 specific centa-per-pound retail ceilings on beef, veal, lamb and mutton to go into effect April 15, providing uniform maximum prices in a 1 stores of the same type in each of 12 pricing zones into wh.ch the country is divided. With these new ceilings posted at each meat counter or store, eve y American housewife will know the top price which she rpay be charged when she surrenders to her butcher the necessary red stamps from war ration book two. Pork Already Controlled Pork already is under similar retail controls. This, the latest move sets price ceilings—readily identifiable to shoppers in each city, town and hamlet—on every important meat reaching the A- merican dinner table. Striking a telling blow at black markets in meat, the new* price action— coupled with meat rationing—will make it impossible for black mar ket operators to continue to pose as legitimate retailers. Effective April 15, no retailer can charge more for the 102 cuts of beef, veal, lamb and mutton in five officially established grad es of beef and veal, four grades of lamb and three grades of mut ton than the ceiling prices named ■by OPA. How.ever, the retailer at any time may charge less than these new ceilings. Grading Required This regulation is the first to establish grade prices at the con sumer level for meats. It requires the retailers to have every piece of beef, veal, lamb and mutton in his store properly grade-marked according to government stand ards. This assures the housewife of getting the standard of qual ity for which she is paying. Maximum retail prices for the nine most popular types of grade A beef, veal and Iamb, effective April 15 are as follow: COMMODITY Independent All other ZONE 1 Stores with less than retailers $250,000 Calif. Ore. pnnual sales Wash, and Nev.

Sites, district ODT motor trans port manager, warned recently. “Any person who expects to buy a truck should first find out whether we are going to issue him a certificate of war necessity, which he must have to buy gaso line, tires or parts,” Sites said, “because in some cases we will not issue it and then if he has al ready bought the truck he is stuck with it.” Sites explained that no new transport operations may be start ed unless they are tied in closely with the war effort and new cer tificates will be granted only on that basis. Until after April' 1, truck owners were able to obtain emergency transport gasoline ra tions but effective April 1, they must have the certificate to buy gasoline.

Thornburg, President “THE ROLL OF HONOR BANK" Oregon-American LUMBER CORPORATION Vernonia, Oregon Barton Baptist Elxtension of remarks of Hon. Arthur Capper of Kansas in the senate of the United States, Mon day, July 6, 1942. Mr. CAPPER. Mr. President, I a.k unanimous consent to have pr'nted in the Appendix of the Record an address delivered by Dr. Ceorge Barton Cutten, presi dent of Colgate University, Hamil ton, N. ¥., at the Northern Bap tist Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, and p inted in Progress magazine published by the International Re form Federation of Washington, Clinton N. Howard, editor. There being no objection the ad dress was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: We are at war. Alcohol and war do not mix any better than alcohol and gasoline. Perhaps a mere voter and a modest taxpay er should not be expected to both er his head about the conduct of the war but the fundamental strat egy seems to be for us to drink our way to victory. Is this to be any more successful than the strat egy the Washington officials out lined for us in 1932 when we were supposed to drink our way to so briety? According to press dispatches, during the 77 days of prohibition in Honolulu after the Jap attack there were 268 arrests, an aver age of 3.3 daily. When prohibi tion was discontinued by military order, the first day there were 17 men and 5 women convicted of, drukenness and during the next 30 days the «verage number of arrests was over 21—more than 6 times the average during the 77 days of prohibition. Barrooms, taverns, beer halls, and cocktail lounges are not fitting schools for soldiers who have a world war on their hands, and Army officials who think otherwise should reas sign the thinking to competent heads. Van Loon told us that Sing apore “maintains a set of bar rooms the splendor of which is fa mous all over the Orient.” How much this had to do with the col lapse of the Gibralter of the East has not yet been evaluated. The American Business Men’s Research Foundation not long ago issued a statement in which were these words: "Beverage alcohol has played an amazing part in undermining and ultimately bring ing about the defeat of practically every nation that has lost the cru cial decision on the field of bat tle or in conflict with other peo pie. Liquor has defeated more men, more armies, more nations than any other cause.” In 1926 the famous French editor, Payot, wrote: “Alcoholism, under the in Legal Notices NOTICE Notice is hereby given that bids will be received by E.
