PAUJb, UUK THE DAILY TAK rUSEl SATURDAY, JUL Y13, 1946 End of OPA Is Bringing Swift Climb in Groceries By Sam Whitehall Chapel Hill groceries seem to be heading swiftly upward with the end of OPA. A week ago Grade A eggs were selling here at 52 cents a dozen. Proprietors of the store explained that the sources from which they are purchasing eggs have advanced their prices to the extent that the higher price is necessary. Feed, which is almost unavail able, is so high that the egg business1 is becoming unprofitable, the poultry men informed the grocer. Milk prices are up in Chapel Hill as in other localities, taking a some what sharper price rise here that else where, but the retail cost is now the same as prices in Durham, Hillsboro and other neighboring communities, 20 cents per quart. Sell for Less in Durham Milk has been one of the few com modities which could be purchased at a lower price here than in other towns. A survey of food prices made by a local civic club several weeks ago re vealed that prices at the highest-priced super market in Durham were low er than prices on identical foods at the lowest priced grocery store in Chapel Hill. The dairymen explained that prices on other dairy products are up pro portionately with milk. Butter is up from 66 to 80 cents, retail prices, at a local dairy, the proprietor of which slated that his retail prices is prob Employ ment Agent Seeking Buyers To Be Trained According to Louis Berini, Supervis ing Interviewer in Charge of the Loca U.

Butter WiSSin 90 Days He predicted that within the next 90 days butter should be back on the grocers' shelves, if price controls are left off, although perhaps it will not be plentiful that soon. Dairymen are not pocketing the in creased prices, according to this spokesman, who explained that the farmers are receiving an additional 75 cents per hundred pounds for their milk, plus the 40-cent increase grant ed in June. Had to Kill Hens The retail grocer who blamed the increase in egg prices on the shortage of feed said that the poultryman who had been supplying the store with eggs had recently killed 400 hens because feed was so scarce and so expensive as to make the business unprofitable.

AVC (Continued from first page) The group also voted to ask Cong- ress for passage of the bill to provide i terminal leave pay for enlisted men as J well as officers and for support of the Aiken resolution to investigate char ges of excessive profits growing out of government payments for merchant shipping during the war. Wallace Murchison reported on the disposal of surplus property of the armed forces and said that he had se cured information as to how veterans could secure items of property and that the information had been turned over to the officers of Veterans Administra tion in Peabody Building and to the Veterans Center at the City- Hall. Bob Kinsman, chairman of the mergency Food committee, was elect ed as recording secretary of the chap ter. The next meeting of AVC will be Tuesday evening, July 23, at the Pres byterian church. 2.000 Registered For Second Session At noon yesterday 2,000 students had registered for the second term of the summer session, E. S. Lanier, head of the Central Records office, announced. Noontime today is the deadline for all students now enrolled to register early. Otherwise they will have to sign up on ' the general registration day, July 22. A $2.00 fine will be charged to all students now in the University who register on that date. VETERAN (Continued accessory building upon the rear of the lot, when the persons occupying such quarters are employed in domestic services on the premise." Durham Building Inspector John T. Still, who issued the warrant against Jarrell, said the defendant had been given a permit to erect a garage, but had" cot been issued a permit to transform the garage into an apartment for tenancy. He also stated his office issued, on January 15, a permit allowing Jarrell to construct one room and a bath over the garage to be used by servants. The original complaint made against Jarrell's renting the apartment evi dently was made by an unidentified neighbor. Jarrell could not explain the reason for this "noble citizen's" act, saying the conduct of the Taylor family has been exemplary since moving into the apartment three weeks ago. Judge A. H. Borland, who also lives in Zone A, continued prayer for judg ment inthe case on condition that Jarrell repair the garage-apartment to conform with the original permit, allowing the erection of a garage, and on the further condition that the defendant have the family EVICTED from the structure. Jarrell was also ordered to pay court costs. That concludes the story up to the present, but the finish has not yet been written. We think the court has placed too much emphasis on legality in place of liberality in ordering the eviction of the Taylors. Taylor and his wife paid no rent, and rendered domestic services in ex change for the apartment. - Yet the judge, who lives in the same zone, based his ruling on the fact that he did not consider them domestic servants. , This is the type of thing that returning veterans find themselves forced to face. Taylor himself admits that he would not have agreed to such an ar rangement except for the fact that housing conditions are what they are. And as for the Jarrells, they are to be complimented on the way in which they provided a living place for one of the many American war heroes and his family on such reasonable terms. Unfortunately, everyone is not as kind-hearted and readily cognizant of the troubles faced by veterans today as the Jarrell family. Because of his willingness to help a thrice-wounded war veteran, Jarrell finds himself in trouble with the court on a charge that, under the circumstances, looks weak indeed to the average citizen. The UVA, represented by its president, Jim Chessnut, has pledged itself to back Taylor in every possible way. In our opinion, such a move is both complimentary and necessary. It is difficult enough for a married veteran to live and go to school at present without facing eviction from an apartment which was rented and accepted in the best of faith. The UVA is a strong organization. In this instance, they have a chance to perform a real service to a veteran, his family, and all interested citizens who believe in the beliefs for which men like Taylor fought so arduously. Campus Calendar Short Notices for Busy Readers Dorm Residents Asked To Turn in Room Keys W. L. Smith, manager of men's dormitories, asks that all residents of men's dormitories not planning to re turn for the second summer term bring their keys to office 02 in the basement of South building before they leave. "There is still a scarcity of metal for making additional keys and the cooperation of all students will be appreciated," stated Smith.
