Scavengers Diseases More Prevalent Where Rats Are Plentiful Because of the close associa tion of rats with man and do mestic animals and because rats are scavengers, living on both filth and edible foods, frequently alternately sewers md grocery stores, privies and pantries, running from places where disease organisms abound to places where otherwise san itary conditions prevail, carry ing the disease organisms on their feet and in their fur and stomachs, it is no wonder that rats play an extremely impor tant role in the spread and dis semination of disease. Nor do they serve only as mechanical carriers of bacteria and other parasites. A number of their awn diseases are transmissible to man and domestic animals, and in turn rats are subject to certain human and livestock diseases, which they acquire and then transmit to other an imals, thus contributing to the spread and prepetuation of the diseases. Some of the diseases trans mitted by rats to people are Bubonic Plague, Typhus Fever, Spirochetal Jaundice, Rate Bite Fever, Food Poisoning, Tularemia. Rabies, and Trichi nosis. Rats no doubt play a more Important part than is gener ally recognized in spreading various parasites that affect man, including intestinal pro tozoa and the tapeworm. Vet erianarians are finding that dis eases and fatalities among do mestic animals and livestock are more prevalent where rats are plentiful, and close atten tion Is given the rat in connec tion with many livestock dis eases, Including white scour In calves, mastitis, ringworm, con tagious abortion, tuberculosis, abortion in mares, joint ill in foals, and others. No owner of ? Contained On Pace Six The bombing attacks were in direct cooperation with the Russian armies. Although both targets, said Sgt. Grant, were covered with clouds, smoke could be seen rising from the cities. Customar ily vicious -on such deep pene trations by the Eighth Air Force lpto the Reich, the Ger man flalc was only moderate, and no fighters of the Luft waffe rose to resist, the North Carolina airman said.

Merchants and Consumers May Bsnefit From New Regulation "The job of calculating ceil ing prices for apparel, dry goods j and house furnishings will be greatly simplified by the pric ing charts made in accord with the new retail price regulation mailing '(or delivered i to all local retailers today." Dr. W. E. Furr, Chairman of the War Price and Rationing Board, said. Each retailer must prepare a pricing chart showing the costs and selling prices of the goods he offered for sale on March 1ST, 1945 (base datei. A Mer chant's Committee has been appointed to help the Price Panel provide accurate infor mation about how to make these charts to all retailers. The members of the Com mittee are: William Katen brink, chairman; Mrs. Frances M. Higdon, Mrs. J. B. Pender grass, Mrs. Jack Sanders, Thad Patton, and Lester Henderson. Mr. Katenbrink. chairman of the committee, said. We wel come this simplification of our pricing procedure. We are pleased to cooperate with our Price Panel to make sure that every merchant quickly gets the information he needs to make his pricing chart. "Copies of the regulation which explain how to prepare these charts have been sent to all local retailers of clothing and house furnishings. "Additional copies are avail able at board headquarters. Local War Price and Rationing Board. Ashear Building. Frank lin, for all merchants who de sire them," Mr. Katenbrink said. "Every clothing and house furnishings retailer is required to prepare three copies of the pricing chart. Two copies must be filed with the OPA District Office, Price Chart Section, 210 Law Building, Charlotte, on or before April 20," Mr. Katen brink explained. "One copy of the pricing chart must be kept in each store. "We here at the War Price and Rationing Board want to give retailers as much help as we possibly can. The Price Pan el and the Merchants' Com mittee members will be avail able at the Local War Price and Rationing Board Office on April 4, 11, and 18, between the hours of 1:30 p.1 m. and 5:30 p. m., to answer retailers' ques tions about how pricing charts are to be made.

"After his chart is made each retailer will know exactly what the ceiling price is for each of his cost lines. The definite pric ing procedures provided by | these charts will assure custom ers that the lower priced gar l ments growing out of the Gov ! ernment's new clothing program are priced fairly at retail," Mr. Katenbrink said. "As a result of the Govern ment's program, we believe that more of the clothing appearing in stores this summer will be in the low and medium-price ranges," Mr. Katenbrink con tinued. "Both retailers and con sumers will benefit from the program because larger portions of the supplies retailers obtain will be made up of the kinds of garments customers want more and .the prices will be lower."
