ffeetive March 6th as shown on
the new order 12, will be used as
a basis for the checking activity.
Mr. Cathey said. These new price
lists were mailed to all food mer
chants in the area from the local
office Monday.
The pledge itself, which has been
made by fifteen million Americans,
contains two key statements: (1)
I will pay no more than top legal
prices, anil (2) I will accept no
rationed goods without giving up
ration stamps.
It was pointed out that the pledge
directly supports th- two chief
'unctions of OPA, which are to
keep the cost of living under con
trol by applying the provisions of
the general maximum price reg
ulations, and to administer the
equitable distribution of scarce
commodities. Immediate objectiv
es of the campaign, are, first, to
give the public a clear understand
ing of the reasons for the pl dge,
and, secondly, to have as many peo.
pie as possible make the pledge
with a sincere intent of activly
keeping it.
