Now that it’s all over, it’s hard to
realize how people put up with
a law like that, even as long as
they did.

manufacturers. Retailers must post
these ceiling prices where they may
be seen readily by customers. If the
prices aren’t posted or if there are
any violations, women are asked to
report to their local war price and
rationing board. .,
As for food, the two big items
concern dried prunes and raisins
and canned sauerkraut. There is
going to be more of the former and
less of the latter.
After a three month period in
which 1941 and 1942 stocks of dried
prunes and rasins were “frozen” by
WPB to make them available for
the armed forces, the WPB now is
allowing processors to release 20 to
40 per cent of their dried prunes
and 40 to 100 per cent of their ra-
sins for civilian use.
Paving the way for a return to
the kraut barrel era, the WPB froze
all stocks of canned kraut held by
any person except retailers, in ex-

in the program but the government
will buy them because they are
needed badly. Truck-type tires are
not included in the program but
• Uncle Sam will buy them too. Truck
type tires are marked as such on
the sidewall of the casing. Tires
actually mounted on the running
wheels of passenger car trailers
and similar equipment may be re-
tained but no spare passenger-type
tires are permitted for such equip-
ment.
Although truck operation will be
controlled under the over-all rub-
ber conservation program, rules
concerning them will differ from
those governing passenger cars.
Beginning November 15, trucks and
other commercial vehicles will have
to have certificates of necessity to
enable drivers to buy rationed gas-
oline, tires and repair and replace-
ment parts.
Applications for the certificates
have been mailed to commercial
vehicle owners everywhere, but
should any have been missed they
should write immediately to the
nearect Office of Defense Trans-
portation district office for the
necessary forms.
Owners already having received
their blanks are urged to fill them
in with care and mail them im-
mediately to Detroit in the envel-
ope mailed with the blanks. If
blanks are held too long they might
get in a mail jam at the last minute
and deprive a vehicle of its certif-
icate by the effective date. As an
assistance to farmers, County War
Boards have volunteered to help
with the application blanks.
Elsewhere on the Home Front,
new developements concerning food
and clothing were important during
the last week.
Oif greatest interest to women,
probably, was the OPA order for
sharp reduction, in the prevailing
"fantastic” prices of women’s nylon

nylon hosiery for retailers and

With two week remaining before
registration gets under way for gas-
oline rationing and before trucks
and commerical vehiciles must have
ODT certificates of war necessity in
order to operate, all eyes on the
home front this week turned to the
government’s mileage rationing—
a plan which it is hoped will keep
all American transportation rolling
on rubber tides for essential travel
Farmers, ranchers and others in
the vast spaces of the great South-
west were asking: Will I get enough
gasoline to take my produce to mar-
ket? Will I be allowed enough gas-
oline to look after my stock? May I
keep my trailer tires? These were
a few of the qustions but hundreds
of others wpre popping up.
Regional Price Administrator Max
McCullough assured farmers they
would be allowed plenty of gasoline
for their necessary travel. In the
Southwest, he pointed out, we are
rationing mileage to conserve rub-
ber—not gas. The farmer is list-
ed in the “preferred” class by pre-
liminary regulations. He comes near
the preferred classification when
transportating farm products and
necessary farm supplies between
farm and market, shipping point or
point of delivery, or between one
farm establishment and another. If
his oceupatinal driving- requires
more mileage than is permitted with
an "A”’ and “B” book, he will be
given a “C” book.
The “A” book, which every pas-
senger car owner is entitled to if
he owns no more than five tires for
each passenger vehicle, is good for
90 miles of personal driving and 150-
miles of occupational driving per
month. The “B” book permits 320
miles of occupationaw driving per
month. If the two books still do not
take care of the farmer’s needs,
then he c,an apply for the “C” book
which contains 96 cupons worth 4-
gallons each and is good for a three
months’ period. It may be well tff
point out that local bbards can
“tailor” the books to fit the indi-
vidual’s aPProxmate exact needs.
This is done by tearing out cupons
or extending the period of time for
which a book of cupons is valid.
The motorist may get “A” arid “B”
books, or “A” and “C” books, but
not alL three.
, The government’s idle tire pur-
chase plan caused many inquires to
OPA officials. It was emphasized
that “A” books will be denied pass-
enger car owners if they posess
more than five tires for each car
they own. The Railway Express I
Agency is the official idle tire sta-
tion. Excess tubes are not included I
