Many Businesses

Thousands of business men and
women providing services of many

Director Ben E. Douglas of the
Office of Price Stabilization for
western North Carolina that they
are covered by Ceiling Price Reg
ulation No. 34 which requires
them to do certain definite and de
tailed things in order fully to com
ply
The regulation, the OPS director
made it clear, covers a multitude
of services. Regulation 34 includes
but in no sense is limited to auc
tioneers, automobile repairing, ser
vicing, and renting businesses, bar
ber shops, beauty shops, billiard
parlors and bowling alleys, bonds
men, cleaners, diaper service op
erators, exterminating services,
garages, jewelry and watch re
pairers, launderies, linen services,
office equipment rental and re
pairing services, parking lot oper
ators, pawnbrokers, photo finish
ers, radio repairing and servicing,
gasoline service stations, shoe re
pairing arid shoe" shining establish
ments, tire repairing and recap
ping, television repairing and ser
vice.
Sellers of service are defined as
those who perform any act or acts
otherwise than as an employee, for
a fee, charge, or consideration. Hie
term "service" or "services" in
cludes any privilege sold or gran
ted for such fee, charge, or con
sideration, and the regulation in
cludes also the rental of any com
modity or service.
Under this regulation the pro

lation subjects the violator to
