"The shortage of help and the
increased volume of business lor |
most retail food dealers in Mon-
tague County has made it diffi-
cult for many grocers to keep up
with OPA's requirements," Chair-
man Posey stated. "Many of my
grocer friends have, indicated to
me that they would be glad to
to have this help from these
volunteer representatives of trtiF
local board,' he continued. The
honest merchants are anxious to
see 100 per cent compliance with
all price regulations ' because
they understand that it will pro-
tect them from sky rogketing
prices and the inevitable depres-
sion to follow. "None Of us want
to go through another 1929,”
Chairman Posey said, "And we
can be assured of not doing so
by making price econtrol-actu-
ally effective."

Price Survey Made
Of All Food Stores In
County During Week
A price control survey of every
food store in Montague County !
is being conducted this week by
volunteer workers of the Mon-
tague War Price and Rationing
Board. The check ;s part of a
nation-wide survey and Price
Panel representatives are at work
checking the the grocery stores
in this county.
Although the basic purpose of
the store survey is to obtain bet-,
ter compliance with price con-
trol regulations by helping re-
tailers to understand these regu-
lations, Mr. Posey, chairman of
lie county board, emphasized
that the drive also will‘serve to
protect both store keepers and
their customers from unfair
competition by black market
operators,
