Traders blamed the reaction on a let-up in mill and flour trade demand, uneasiness because of war reports from the Pacific and reiteration of statistical data showing the size of the domestic surplus. Some late buying was stimulated by crop complaints from Kansas suggesting recent deterioration because of dry weather, in some localities may re duce prospects of a bumper har vest.

Regulations All services provided by the landlord are controlled by Federal rent regulations and reductions in services call for a comparable re duction in rent, George W. Jeffrey, area rent director, said today. Maintenance of the appearance of housing accomodations such as painting, decoration, screns, fur nace repair, are generally consid ered as chief items of service pro vided by landlords. The following queries are among the many being-asked Jeffrey on the landlord services subject: Q. What are services? A. Services are facilities which the landlord agrees to provide the tenant at the time the agreement to rent is made. Q. Does it matter whether the agreemen to rent is made ver bally or by written lease? A. No. Q. What facilities usually go with an apartment? A. Heat and hot and cold water, a superintendent or handy man to perform the duties usually termed “janitor service.” This includes the removal of garbage and trash at given times of the day; cleaning halls, stairways, lobby, and main taining the general appearance of the apartment building. The im mediate repair or adjustment of minor breaks, such as the installa tion of a blowout fuse, the repair of a leaking water faucet, the un jamming of a stuck flush toilet. In addition, apartments in many sections of the nation are equipped with refrigerators and stoves, which the landlord keeps in work ing conditions. Q, What services usually go with a rented house? A. Unless otherwise specified at the time of the rental agreement, these services usually include keeping the house in repair; paint, ing and re-decorating at specified times; providing the heating unit and keeping it in repair; linoleum for the kitchen; screens. Services provided vary in different sections of the country according to local custom. Under Federal rent con trol, these services provided on P’e date fixed by the Price Adminis trator as the maximum-rant date, must be continued by the landlord. Q. What are some omer ape-un. services which may be included in a landlord - tenant agreement.’ A. Such an agreement may in clude telephone service, laundry facilities or privileges, window shades, storage space. Q. What about elevator service! A. If elevator service was pro vided when the agreement to rent was made, it must be continued. Q. Does that mean that if there was an elevator operator in an apartment building on the maxi mum-rent date, the landlord must continue employing an operator? A. Yes, unless the landlord has filed a petition to decrease serv cies and the Rent Director has issued an order permitting the de crease. In such case, the Rent Di rector will use discretion in deter mining how great a factor an ele vator operator is in the total rent charged. Q. In a furnished apartment, is the furniture considered part of the services provided? A. Yes. Q. What constitutes a furnished house or apartment? A. The amount of furniture nec essary to furnish a house or apart ment naturally depends upon indi vidual taste. However, a house or apartment rented as furnished must contain amply sufficient fur niture for the needs of the tenant. Q. What if the landlord, without the tenant requesting it, removes some of the furniture from an apartment or house after he nas rented it as furnished? Can th* tenant get a reduction in maxi mum rent? A. Yes, on application by the tenant, the Rent Director will ad just the rent. Q. What about special services? A. Any service, no matter how great or how small, which the landlord agreed to provide at the time of the rental agreement, and which was still being provided on the date determining the maxi mum rent, must be continued. Q. What about a house which is rented where there is a garage on the lot? Can the landlord make a special charge for the garage’ A. No. If the garage was includ ed in the rental agreement, even if the tenant does not use it, the landlord cannot make an ext r.a charge for it after the rental agreement has been made. It is considered part of the “services” going with the house. Q. Is exterminator service in cluded? A. If an exterminator service was provided on the maximum rent date, it must be continued. Q. What if the war makes it im possible to contiue some of the services that a landlord has been providing, what happens then? A. Where it is impossible to con-' tinue the services, the landlord must file a petition with the Area Director within five days after the change of service, asking for an order to decrease the services. The Director’s order granting this de crease will also contain reduction in rent if circumstances warrant. -V SPRING GARDEN ROOM Cheerful and dainty as a spring garden is a bedroom combining green, white and gold. Walls and ceilings are painted pale primrose yellow; an oval rug of be'ge cot ton with green fringe covers the floor; cross-draped, ruffled cur tains of filmy white make a unit of the three joined windows. In teresting in the decorative scheme is the bedspread of white quilted cotton to which is attached a deep flounce of lime green, patterned with pink rosebuds. The head of the bed—as well as a slipper chair Arthur Montaigne Contributes Story To The Blue Book Arthur Montaigne, former Wil ningtonian, better known as “Bos ,on Blackie,” has written a short irticle for Blue Book Magazine, which appears in the July issue, it was learned here today. Montaigne was formerly con nected with the local radio Sta tion as advertising manager. Some time ago he left the city to enlist in the Army Transport Service as a quartermaster. The article, entitled ‘‘Coastwise Diary,” is a true account of a trip along the submarine infested waters of the Atlantic seaboard and is written in the style of a ship’s “log.” Throughout the story, Montaigne refers to Wilmington and mentions the good times he had while here. John Davis, well known traffic lieutenant, is brought into the yarn when Montaigne reminisces while at the wheel of his ship. “Wonder if John Davis is still bawling out the traffic violators around Front and Walnut streets every after noon. “If the wind still embarrasses the girls on the comer of Front and Chestnut.” The story tells of a four ship convoy, leaving Newport News for New York. Montaigne’s ship is loaded with ammunition. He says, “it wiH only take one torpedo and then there’ll be nothing.” The author was last in Wilming ton about two months ago and stopped by the Star-News office to renew friendships with the staff. At that time, he told of appearing on the “Vox Pop” radio program in essentially the same type of program as his article represents. -V Entertainment Planned For Draftees On June 12 Twenty men, who leave for Fort Bragg June 12, will be en tertained here with a progrrvi sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. A committee will be appointed to direct the entertainment pro gram at a meeting of the Jaycees Tuesday night. The Junior Chamber of Com merce will mail cards to all the men scheduled to leave June 12, giving the details of the plan. Cards will also serve as means of identification in getting any of the following special privileges. The Friendly Cafeteria and Res taurant, the Dixie Cafe, and the H. and W. Cafeteria will honor their proportionate share of draftees with a dinner. The Jewel Box, Julien K. Tay lor, Pickard’s Sporting Goods, and McClelland stores will give a gift memento to each draftee, a slight token of their apprecia tion for the service the young men are rendering the country. The Wilmington Theatres, Inc., will entertain the young men and one guest before the coming in duction, and in the near future between the time they have been notified of their coming induction and the date they leave for the Army. -v Forces At Camp Davis Will Go On Range Jane 8 Firing will be conducted on near by ranges during the week begin ning June 8. it has been an nounced by Camp Davis authori ties.

It is divided into three separate parts, the haid, the chest and the stum mick. The haid holds the skull and the brains if there is any, the chest holds the liver, and the stummick holds the vowels, which are a, e, i, o and u, and some times w and y.” 4 —is also slip-covered with the same material, while the dressing table has a skirt of white voile embroidered with yellow. 4 UDC WILL SUPPORT USO EFFORT HERE Resolutions Adopted At Regular Meeting Of Cape Fear Chapter Endorsement of the drive for funds for continuance of the USO was voiced Friday by the Cape Fear chapter of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy. The endorsement follows: "Americans are being asked to raise $32,000,000 for the contin uance and expansion of USO ac tivities. This is a job for every one in the United States in our effort to win the war. “The USO clubs have a vital job in their program designed to serve the spiritual, recreational, welfare and social needs of the men and women in the armed forces and camp areas This program of erates not only throughout the United States and her possessions, but in our overseas bases as well. "The City of Wilmington, be cause of its proximity to military bases, is served by several of these USO clubs. Civilians who visit them are deeply impressed with the wide variety of interests and air of friendliness pervading throughout. The unity of four dif ferent agencies — YWCA. YMCA, JWB. and Travelers’ Aid, cooperat ing under one roof is an example for USO centers throughout Amer ica. “When we realize that our own boys in the armed forces near and far are served by the type of USO clubs found in our own city, we become doubly grateful. The United Service Organization is do ing the very thing for our own that we would do but cannot be cause of the distance. Conversely, we through our local USO duos help care for men in service from other parts of the nation. “From the time of its organiza tion 48 years ago, the U n ited Daughters of the Confederacy has incorporated into its program the care of its protectors and defend ers. Because the USO follow- a similar service program, the UDC is glad to lend its full support and endorsement to the forthcom ing city and county War Fund cam paign for the United Service Or ganizations.” -V COTTONSEED OIL NEW ORLEANS, June 5— Iff) — Cottonseed oil closed barely steady.

The American Meat Institute has educated America on the value of meat in the daily diet. The prune growers have popularized what was once a lowly product, the butt of boarding house jokes. Trade associations in all lines of industry have created demand for their goods through education—and that education has been achieved through advertising. Today, trade associations and In dustries are faced with new prob lems created by a war. Demand for some products will have to be de ferred and available quantities of goods won't be sufficient in some lines. Right now, industry is planning ways to keep desire for its producls from dying while the country is engaged in winning a war. It is planning sustained advertising cam paigns. and those advertising cam paigns don't propose to let us for get the benefits we’ve learned to enjoy. further, this advertising 1s being created to show us how to avoid wasting the products we already have. It is being created and bought to keep our good will and our desire for what industry- can offer now and later. In planning for a con servative present, it is building for a healthy future. The Department of Commerce is encouraging industry to follow an advertising program that will main tain markets for merchandise and create new friends for advertisers. The government realizes that busi ness must be ready for victory when it comes. THE GUMPS _ Surprise
