OPA HELPS DAD GET

The Office of Price Adminis-
trator considered the problems
attendant upon the proluction of
Dad’s new Fedora and has come
up with a solution: A new price
regulation convering Australian
and New Eel and Rabbit- Skins
and Hatters’ fur cut from these
imported skins, has been issued
by OPA. Recently, sellers of

Hatters’ Fur have been forced to

because of the abnormally high
prices in the Foreign market for
rabbit skins. While the new

be able to buy raw skins at lower
prices or to buy a larger per
centage of their requirements of

weighs 118 pounds. This man is
making records in open hammer

Gar Reserves Near
Vanishing Point
There are only 20,000 new pas-
senger cars in the country today,
OPA announces. The quota of
new passenger automobiles avail-
able fOp rationing in September
will be 3,000 with another 300 as
regional and 300 as national em-
ergency reserve^. This (is the
smallest quota since passenger
car rationing began, and a 40
per cent cut from the August
quota of 5,000. The new Septem-
ber quota is less than 8 per cent
of the September 1943 quota of
30,600 cars.
DRY CELL BATTERY
PRODUCTION GROWS
Progress by the dry cell bat-
tery industry in its renewed ef-
fort to increase production was
reported by Army and WPB
representatives at a recent meet-
ing. At the same time, the in-
dustry was urged to spare no ef-
fort in effecting further increas-
es since production is still about
28 per cent below minimum mil-
itary and civilian requirements.
Over-all production in July was
about 170,000,000 cells as com-
pared with average monthly pro-
duction of slightly Hess than 73,-
000,000 cells in 1940. August re-
ports are expected by WPB to
show a greater increase, reflect-
ing further expansion in plant
facilities. *h'*fj

The Nazis have apparently
discovered that food can be bad
for pubjlie morale, especially if it
has aspects of exhibitionism.
Reichs Marshall Hermann Goer-
ing’s newspaper, the Essenger
National Ziitung, is aware of
these danagers and reports in an
article obtained by the Office of
War Information: “It must 'be
considered bad taste to publicly
eat a ham sandwich whose origin
is generally suspicious even if
nothing illegal can be proved.”
The eating of fresh fruit in pub-
lic, uoav that fruit is “also very
scare” was cited as another in-
stance of bad taste. Nazis are
also told that Germans may also
become resentful if they observe
fehow citizens “strutting along
with fat cigars.”

Mrs. Pope Gribble has put in
almost 500 hours volunteer work
as chairman of the refreshment
committee for 1943-44 and has
done a most acceptable job.
