Gasoline Credit Cards
Credit cards,may now be, used
at gasoline, stations by vehicles
carrying a “Certificate dof War
Necessity” or “T’ ration stick
ers. Most other vehicles cannot
use such credit cards. Formerly,
stations operating 24 hours a day
cotlld sell gasoline to all vehicles
only during 12 hours a day and
after that only to those with “T’’
stickers.
Anyone who ha.s applied for a
“Certificate of War Nacesslty '
may get gasoline pending the ar
rival of the certificate by notify
ing his local war price and ra
tioning board. Coupons sufficient
for his needs will be issued for
the first and second three-month
period at the same tiime.

dollars worth of goods and serv
ices to maintain the civilian
needs of this country on a mini

No Prii-e Klsp
Prices of tomatoes, peas, snap
beans, and sweet corn are not
likely to be higher this year than
last, becau.se of the U. S. Dept,
of Agriculture’s program of sprice
support. Growers of these four
major canning crops will get pri
ces substantially above those of
last year, through Government
price support, but tliese prices
will not be passed on to the con
sumer. This is part of the pro
gram to stabilize the cost of liv
ing.
Although minimum prices are
specified by slates, for the coun-
atry as a whole minimum prices
paid to growers, contrasted
to the actual prices paid in 1942.

Priorities On Underwear
A “priority list" of heavyweight
undergarments, for which stand
ard specifications and prices are

•‘Economies’’, Permitted
Retailers
Just how far can a retail store
go in reducing their expenses
without reducing their ceiling
prices? OPA has decided that
regional administrators and dis-
triclt managers of OJ*A offices oan
rule on that question. Under the
retailers' Economy for 'Victory
Plan, retailers have in some cases
eliminated all deliveries and many
store services.
Soldiers Family Allowance
If a soldier’s family Is not get
ting their allowance under the
Servicemen’s Dependents Allow
ance Act, It may be because the-
aoldier has failed to file a formal
application for It. Many soldiers
decltred their intention to file
such an application last summer
—before application blanks were
available—'but have not filed the
actual application. The official
War Dept. A.G.O. Fo™>
