ecommend to the United States
Congress that this nation pay 33
er cent for 1947 on a temporary

imit of 25 per cent should be
greed upon for any one country

Early Christmas Shopping
Is Advocated By Experts
i
Alleghany people along with
others are urged to do their
Christmas shopping early because
of the fact that there will be lit
tle left for late shoppers.
‘There won’t be enough of
hardly anything to go around,
and much of what there is will
be high-priced ‘luxuries’,” gov
ernment experts said.
Early shoppers will not only
avoid the last-minute rush, they
also may beat additional price
increases.
“Wise housewives will buy
now—55 days before Christmas—
rather than wait for price rises,”
said Theodore G. Maynard, tex
tile official at the Civilian Pro
duction Administration. “This is
a year when people will give a
lot of things they would never
buy for themselves because fancy
gadgets and luxury goods will be
much more plentiful than
staples.”
Some people who can't afford
to buy luxuries wilL cut down
on their Christmas giving, he pre
dicted.
Santa Claus will have a lot
more toys this year because pro
duction is above the prewar rate
—but still there won’t be enough
to meet the demand, said Mrs.
Sara Scrogin, commodity expert
of the Commerce Department.
There will be a shortage of
scooters, tricycles and other wheel
goods particularly because of the
wartime backlog, she said. Prices
of tbys, free of controls, will be
above last year, and much higher
than prewar.
As for children’s clothes, there
will be a less acute scarify of
low-priced ones than last year—
but cotton garments for men,
women and children will be hard
(to find generally.
Gift lingerie and other clothing
for the ladies will be fairly plen
tiful—and it will be fussier and
more frilly and cost more than
last year. But don’t plan too
the publication much easier and
also helping in illustrating the
results of yield and production
experiments.
Free copies of the publication
are available upon request to the
Agricultural Editor at State Col
lege, Raleigh. Requests should
be made for the 1945 Annual Re
port of the N. C. Agricultural Ex
periment Station, title of the pub

Dr. R. P. Moore, head of the

Price Controls Are Lifted
From Nearly 100 More Items
Washington — Price controls
were lifted from nearly 100 more
items Friday as OPA took on the
appearance of a skeleton left over
from Halloween.
The new list included paper
and wood matches, milking ma
chines and other dairy equipment,
some lighting fixtures, a few
lumber items, and a long line of
industrial products.
It was issued as the price agen
cy took sweeping action toward
decontrolling itself along with the
national economy. Notice was
served on approximately 10,000
OPA field workers—roughly one
third of the remaining staff—that
their jobs will fold up in 30 days.
Even more immediately, OPA
ordered its last local price boards.
1,642 of them, locked up for good
on Monday.
Today’s decontrol announce
ment said the latest list of articles
was freed “because their supply
is in approximate balance with
demand, or because they are un
important in business or living
costs.”
Farm dairy machinery freed
from controls included churns,
ice-refrigerated milk coolers, and
cream and milk separators.
Other machinery items releas
ed included certain gasoline and
diesel engines and some pumps.
The lighting equipment on the
list included incandescent fix
tures for industrial and commer
cial use except fluorescent fix
tures.
Among lumber items decon
trolled were red wood lumber
used for cigar boxes, walnut lum
ber and walnut gunstock blanks.
Metal products on the list were
fluid milk shipping containers
and wire reinforcing for use in
concrete. School and passenger
bus bodies and parts also went on
the free list.
Hertford county negro farmers
will have more milk, thanks to a
shipment of 39 cows just deliv
ered.
