Civilians At Peace The Government needs and asks it citizens in this fourth week of peace to: 1. See your volunteer war jobs through to completion. War bond salesmen, price control and draft board assistants, nurse's aides and other Red Cross workers are still needed. 2. Go back to school to continue the higher education you will need in the post-war world. If you are a high school student who has been working in war industries, you can best assure your future by contin uing your education. 3. Consult your local United States Employment Service office as to where your skills can be used to speed reconversion most.

Regular grade gasoline sold since mid-1944 has been generally about 70 octane, but this octane rat ing will move up to at least the nor mal level of 72 to 74 octane and may in some cases be in excess of 75 oc tane, according to advices received by OPA from the industry. Premium grade gasoline is also being improv ed, and, as a result, OPA has lifted the minimum octane rating qualify ing for the premium grade ceilings from 75 octane to 78 octane. I Use Potatoes Now Full use immediately of potatoes from "intermediate" states is urged by the Department of Agriculture. The "intermediate" crop is expected to total about 32.7 million bushels and can fill a gap in the nation's food supply. Another important reason why these potatoes should be used now, Agriculture officials say, is that while they are of good quality and many are storable, they do not keep as well as the late varieties. In ad dition, storage facilities are now fair ly limited. Potatoes harvested in hot summer months can only be stored in cool places, and most growers pre fer to use precious refrigeration for other foodstuffs. That makes stor age of large supplies of potatoes now uneconomical from the growers' viewpoint. The answer to the prob ned milk is ooint-free during the ra-1 lem, the Agriculture officials add, is tioninir Deriad besrinninir September 21 simply: Use spuds now! Mr. Bowles explains. of factors that started the Inflation ary spiral following that war are a train here. - Consumer goods, includ in certain foods, are scarce. Every one wants to buy the things he could' n't get during the war and people have money to spend. "We are going to do everything in our power to prevent price increases in cost oi living items oy maintain ing price controls as long as they are needed. We can't do the loo alone. We want housewives to write on the Anti-Inflation ShoDDinir Lists the prices they have actually paid for various kinds of food over a period of a week. The housewife will send her report to her local board. This will give the board a pretty good picture of food price compliance in its area and point out some of-the stores that need investigation." SPB Stops Allocation The Surplus Property Board has ceased allocating surplus trucks to farmers and farm cooperatives and will release, for regular disposal, trucks, recently allocated to farmers and not yet sold, it was announced by the Board. Farmers who wish to purchase surplus trucks should con tact a local truck dealer as the ve hicles will be disposed of through normal channels, with no need for certification. Kerns Available Soon Rubber toys for Christmas are in prospect as well as thousands of other familiar objects that disappear ed during the war years, according to I . . 1 :.!',., "The same set the Rubber Bureau of WPB, which c and ending September 29, Chester Bowles, administrator of OPA, said. Steaks and roasts will be from two to three points less a pound ; hamburger will be a two-points per pound bargain, down from 4; and re ductions for cuts of lamb and veal range from one to three points. Pork steaks, chops and roasts are down one to two points; all bacon is down two points, and spareribs are down three points. Nearly all meats that now have a value of two or three points a pound are reduced one point. The new point value for creamery butter is 12 points a pound. Marga rine is down from 14 to 12 points a ptt)nd. Points for all kinds of ra tioned cheeses have been cut 50 per cent. Vets' Wives and Babies Following through on a recom mendation made by Congress, Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, announced that wives and babies of recently discharged service men, under certain conditions, are now eligible to receive medical and hospital care under the Emergency Maternity and Infant Care program. A service man's wife may now apply at any State health department for care for herself and for her baby af ter her husband's honorable discharge from service, provided that at any time during her pregnancy he was in the fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh Class 2 Slaughter Percentages A substantial increase in Class 2 (non-federally inspected) slaughter percentages for cattle, calves and hogs for quota periods beginning on or after August 26, 1945, was an nounced by OPA. The slaughter per centage for cattle is increased from last month's 100 per cent to 125 per cent; the percentage for calves is in creased from the fromer 75 per cent to 100 per cent; and for hogs, from, the former 50 per cent to 65 per cent. The slaughter percentage for sheep and lambs remains unchanged at 110 per cent. To Fight Inflation To enlist consumer aid in prevent ing food price increases, Price- Ad ministrator Chester Bowleg announc ed that "Anti-Inflation Shopping Lists" will be distributed to thous- the ands of housewives from local War Price and Rationing Boards beginning the first week of September. "The OPA is calling upon housewives to help their Government prevent a re petition of the disastrous inflation that followed the first World War," ATHLETES FOOT GERM Kill It For 35c IN ONE HOUR, if not pleased your . 35c back.
