Price control on seven fresh
getables will be established on a na-
tional basis April 22, supplanting
present regional control, the OPA
has announced. Retail ceilings for
cabbage, carrots, lettuce, peas, snap
beans, spinach and tomatoes will be
set through use of uniform mark-
ups over the retailers’ net cost. For
each vegetable except cabbage the
retailer will determine his ceilings
by multiplying his net cost by 1.39.
Spoilage on cabbage is greater and
its mark-up will vary from 1.50 to
1.65 according to the class of retail-
er. Store operators will determine
their ceilings each Thursday by ap-
plying given mark-ups to the net
cost of the vegetable based on the
largest single purchase of the pre-
ceding week.
LIFE’S Little TROUBLES
cured of chicken stealing.
Tho six youths took six hens from
a coop owned by Dr. John Ward, and
not long after police were broad-
casting the word that anyone eat-
ing the hens, or their eggs, were in
danger of dying. All six hens had
been inoculated by the doctor with
encephalitis (sleeping siakness)
germs, in an experiment.
One of tho boys heard the warn-
ing on a radio broadcast, quickly
notified his fellow conspirators and
all hurried to a hospital with their
story, which included disclosure they
had roasted and eaten the chickens.
Good doses of castor oil were ad-
ministered to all the youths—rang-
ing in ages from 12 to 16—and doc-
tors said they had been treated in
time to prevent any permanent ill
effects.

ring for your birthday, dear!”
Wifey: “But you know I wanted
a yacht.”
Hubby: “Yes, but where can I
buy an imitation yacht?”

Collisions can cause plenty of worry. Buy Com-

Abaca, a banana-like tropical
plant, is the source of Manila hemp
fibres.
Chief effect of the recent changes
in Selective Service classification is
the elimination of dependency de-
ferment except for:
(1) Those who maintain bona
fide homes with children.
(2) Those whose induction would
cause extreme hardship to a wife,
child or parent, and
(3) Those with dependents who
are necessary to and regularly en-
gaged in agriculture.
Men formerly classified in III-A
and III-B who had been deferred
because of dependents will be re-
considered. Class II-B is eliminated
entirely. A child born after Sep-
tember 14, 1942, is not recognized
as a “dependent” in classifying a
registrant in Class III-A. The new
classification, III-D, will contain all
men whose induction, in the opinion
of their local boards, would create
extreme hardship or privation for
a dependent wife, child, or parent.
