It is felt that the reenactment of the Price Control Act Is a challenge to all women in Duplin County to do their part In helping every re tail outlet in their communities to comply with the price control and rationing regulations. ' It is well known that the women in Duplin have played a very fine part in aiding the OPA In holding the cost of living line against any rise since April, 1943. Thay also realize that optimism engendered by military victories can even now cause us to lose our battle on the home front tha battle , of In flation. The battle against inflation is only half won; and half won is not good enough. In planning: your programs for fall may we suggest that you do two things which we believe will be of tremendous benefit to the Price Control Program. First, in order to be of vital help, try to understand more fully, the facts about the ceiling price program. The Price Clerk or Chairman of your local- WP&R Board will be only too glad - to give you the information you de sire. - Second, as most retailers are short of help, we feel that it would be greatly appreciated if some neighbor would go in for one morning a week to help him check his prices and see thar-he is in line with the price regulations. This type of community service ia one of the most valuable , war services that can be rendered. The year ahead of us will be difficult Every community will feel the Impact of war more keen ly. We cannot stop our fight against disastrous rises in "the cost of living. We know the tra gedy of depressions and economic chaos. And, it's a woman's job to take her part In the front line in order to prevent a break in the dam which our government has erected against such disasters. SOME RELIGION? Warsaw, N. C.
