CONTIVED NEXT WEEK
OPA MEETING
EXPLAINED BY
T. S. JOHNSON
Says Halifax Board
In Accordance On
Gas Rationing
Theodore S. Johnson, district
director of the Office of Price
Administration, held a meeting at
Halifax last week to which mem
bers of the press and others were
excluded, explaining to county
newspapermen that he would send
them a report of the meeting
pending his return to his office
in Raleigh. He this week issued
the following statement to the
press relative to the meeting:
“It is well-nigh impossible to
carry out the program of ration
ing and price control to the en
tire satisfaction of every person.
Some people are certain to be
denied their requests and to be
adversely affected by price con
trol. It is, of course, the obliga
tion of every War Price and Ra
tioning Board to so conduct its
operations as to be fair and just
and to show no discrimination to
any person because of either race,
creed or political affiliation The
is a difficult task, and it is the
duty of every citizen to uphold
'he members of the War Price and
Rationing Boards in their En
deavors.
“Our check up on the Gasoline
Panel at Halifax, a check up
which is made regularly at all
hoards, disclosed that the gaso
line issuances at the Halifax
Board are more nearly in accord
ance with the regulations and the
policy of the OPA than those of
any board which we have re
viewed in the last several weeks.
“The regulations provide that
whenever any person desires to
protest or appeal any decision or
act of the panel members or the
employed personnel they will have
full, free opportunity to present
their complaint to the War Price
and Rationing Board through its
Chairman. The board is expected
to, and 1 am sure will, give care
ful and impartial consideration to
such complaints. If the complaint
ant is not satisfied with the action
of the board, he may appeal to the
District Director and, if he de
sires, to the Regional Office and
even to the National Office.
“The War Price and Rationing
Boards are established in order
to serve the citizens of the coun
ties as conveniently as possible
consistent with the funds avail
able for the board operations. Hal
ifax County is one of two counties
having three boards. Five countie:
■ have two boards each and the re- ,
; maining forty-five counties in this
; District are served by one board
each. We believe there is a real
I need for three boards in Halifax
County, and \v ire confident that
the hoard at Halifax merits the
continued confidence and the loy
al support of the people served
by it.
“Very truly yours,
Theodore S. Johnson,
District Director.”
