Rogers Has Been Transferred To Camp Davis Staff Sergeant Lannes F. Rogers OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINIS TRATION Q. Why was the General Maxi mum Price Regulation issued ? : A. The regulation is a war meas ure issued to stop further increas es in the cost of living and in oth er prices. - Q. Why have prices been rising ? A. Fighting the war requires huge expenditures for armaments and turns thousands of plants from producing civilian goods to producing war goods. This re sults in increased wage payments, but' smaller production of civilian goods. Thus demand is rising while supply is declining. The result is higher prices. Q. What prices are' covered by the regulation? A. Nearly all prices charged by retailers, wholesalers, : manufact urers, and producers of raw ma terials. The only important cost- of-living exclusions are certain food products. Q. What are the ceiling prices? A. In general, the highest charg ed during March, 1942, by each individual seller. Q. When does the ceiling be come effective? A. 1. For goods sold at retail, the ceilings apply on May 18, 1942. 2. For services at retail,that is, rendered to the Ultimate consumer, the ceiling applies on July 1, 1942. 3. For sales by manufacturers, producers and wholesalers, and service rendered to an industrial consumer, the ceiling applies on May 11, 1942. Q. Will the ceiling prices be the same at every store for the same article? A. No In general, the ceiling is the highest price at which each store sold an article during March. The maximum price will vary from store to store just as prices varied from store to store during March. Q. Can prices lower than ceiling be charged ? A. Yes, they go as low as the seller wishes. But they cannot go one cent above the ceiling. Re member that the purpose of this action is to stop the rise in prices Q. What action has been taken regarding rents? A. OPA has designated 323 groups of communities as "defense rental areas" and has taken the first steps to check the rise in housing rents In these areas. Q. How will the housewife know what the maximum prices are? A, The regulation lists about 100 of the most important groups of the average family's cost of living. The maximum prices ftf these items must be displayed by any retailer selling them after May 18. - ' Q. What about prices of goods that are not on the cost-of-living list? A. Until July 1, the housewife should ask the storekeeper for his maximum prices. After July 1, the retailer must have a prepared statement of the highest prices for all commodities or services which he delivered or supplied during March. This may be ex amined by any one on request. Q. What should the housewife do if she believes that she is required to pay more than a storekeeper's maximum A. She should ask the store keeper to explain the price to her. If she still believes that she is required to pay more than his legal maximum, she should com municate the facts to OPA's near est War Price Rationing Board or its nearest local office. Q. How can the shopper obtain a record showing what she paid so that she can make positive com parison with March prices? A. Every store, when requested by a customer, must give a sales slip or receipt showing the date, the name and address of the store, the item sold, and the price received. Q. Why is a whole month used for the pricing period? A. This is to produce as fair a maximum as possible. If prices were frozen at the level in effect during a shorter period or on only one day, the ceiling might be dis torted and might be abnormally low for a store which had had bargain sales or "dollar days" throughout the base period. Q. What articles are covered by price ceilings? j A. Practically every article used Canal Zone to O. S. D. School at Camp Davis, of this state. Sgt. Rogers volunteered in 1939 and has been stationed in the Canal Zone ever since. This is his first return to the states and it will be three months before he will be al lowed a furlough to come home on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hub Rogers, who reside on Canton, Route Two. P. F. C. Robert Cope, Jr., of Fort Jackson, is spending seven day furlough here with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cope. Private Ray Truitt has returned to Fort Jackson after spending a seven day furlough here with his father, Pat Truitt. Private Cecil Gaddy, son of Mrs. Hessie Gaddy, who was recently inducted into service, spent five days here last week. Private Albert Mull has returned to Fort Jackson after spending a seven days furlough here with his in the life and work of America. Included are the basic articles that make ud the cost of livine cloth-1 ing, yard goods, fuel, furniture, most foods, hardware, appliances, tobacco, drugs, and toiletries. At the manufacturers' level the reg ulations cover virtually all pro ducts and commodities that are . not already under price ceilings. J Q. But there are some excep-, tions? A. Yes, some exceptions are nec-l cessary. For example, the t,mer-i gency Price Control Act of 1942, i which confers the authority to con-j trol prices on OPA, does not per mit the Price Administrator to set ceiungs over me iarm prouuets that are selling below parity. The act also exempts newspapers, mag azines, theater admissions, and railroad and bus rate. Because of obvious administrative difficulties the regulations exempt fresh fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, rare stamps and coins, and objects of art. Raw farm commodities, such as wheat, are exempt from ceil ings, but these same products when processed and prepared for the consumer, as in the form of bread, are under price ceilings. Q. Are there ceilings on sales pf food beverages by lunch rooms, restaurants and hotels? A. No, these also are exempt. The possibilities of cutting the quality cooked, its preparation and service and also the amount and quality of beverages served are so numerous that the administra tion and enforcement of ceiling on sales of this nature would be ex tremely difficult. It is thought that if restaurants' costs are largely stabalized, there will be little or no excuse to raise prices. Furthermore, the terrific competi tion in this field will tend to hold prices down. Q. What about services? Is there a limit on charges by laun dries, tailors, dry cleaners, auto repair shops, radio repair men, storage establishments and the like? A. Yes, price ceilings are being According to Budget Director Harold D. Smith, the successfully speeded-up arms program will cost the U. S. $70,000,000,000 for the 12 month beginning July 1. This is a fourteen billion dollar increase over his originally announced estimate. (Central Press) placed over these retail services performed in Connection with a commodity. But purely personal services, such as beauty parlors and barber shops, are exempted by the act. Q. Is real estate covered? A. No, sales of land and build ings are exempt from price control. (j. Why do retail ceilings go into effect, on different dates? Why don't maximum prices takes effect at once? A. By coming under maximum prices one week after wholesalers and manufacturers, retail stores will have a greater opportunity to buy supplies at March wholesale prices before returning to March retail prices. Any deliveries to retailers after March 11, of course, must be at prices no higher than the supplier's maximum prices even if the contract calls for a higher price. In the case of re tail service, the effective date is delayed until July 1. This will ura una ery for the adminis."" lmum nricea in l?tl0 of q. is the,; aiding 8ener .1 proiJ cumstances impose ships?
