WWl, at last, the City of Carrollton is
protected against Hitler and Hirohito.
The City Council has passed an or-
dinance making it unlawful under pen-
alty of heavy fines for any business,
corporation or person to cause a public
disturbance by making too much noise
of any variety in the city limits. This
includes loud speakers, fire crackers,
any group (and we presume it would
include exploding bombs and roaring
airplanes). That is, unless permission
is first obtained from the City Council
or some designated city official.
Naturally, our good, peaceful, jolly
Mayor Davis is not going to grant the
Axis permissin to put on fireworks
here,

Exactly two years ago this issue, a
somewhat bewildered young editor
moved with his wife to Carrollton and
began his responsibilities with the
Carrollton Chronicle.
It has been our privilege to write,
edit and publish The Chronicle for
Carrollton and community these 104
issues. Through the interest of most
of our readers, we have been able to
secure the news stories and local items.
Through the cooperation and patronage
of several of the local merchants, the
paper has been financed by their con-
sistent purchase of advertising, to-
gether with that of national adverti-
sers.
And so what the Chronicle is today
is largely due to you, the readers and
advertisers. If that means anything,
we urge your continued assistance,
cooperation, support and boosting, and
we will make even a better newspaper
and a better community.

CITY ORDINANCE
STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF DALLAS
Be it remembered that on this 20th
day of July, A. D., 1942, the City Com-
mission of the City of Carrollton, Texas,
in open session with a quorum present
passed the following Ordinance; to wit:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
OF CARROLLTON PROVIDING
FOR REMOVING AND BURNING

STANCE EITHER INFLAMABLE

TO PUBLIC HEALTH FROM ANY
BUSINESS PROPERTY IN THE

J People; Spots In The News J
Inflation continues to be a problem
i the .Home Front, in spite of the
Price Control Act. It will continue to
be a problem so long as there are ex-
ceptions to the Act and some commod-
ities remain beyond the reach of the
various OPA regulations.
To housewives of the Southwest, it
wasn’t news when it was announced
during the last week that the cost of
living continued to go up, in spite of
price control. It has been evident from
day to day as they have shopped to
provide the proper diet for their fam-
ilies.
The answer is the Price Control
Act itself. Under it, many unprocessed
farm products aren’t subject to control.
What happens to those products is
answerable only to the law of supply
and demand—and there’s plenty of
demand these days.
Take lamb for instance. The price
isn’t controlled. Between mid-May and
mid-June inflation ran the cost to the
housewife up more than 10 percent. For
roasting chickens the rise was nearly
9 percent. Apples, which aren’t con-
trolled, went up 25 percent—50 percent
above the prices of March.
On the other hand, the price of con-
trolled beef, veal and pork fell off
and prices of other foods which are un-
der the price ceiling either remained
steady or dropped.
Price Administrator Henderson said
the government control of prices and
rents, where it is in effect, is doing
a good job of holding down the cost
of living, but that uncontrolled prices
are showing a definite tendency toward
dangerously high levels. Nevertheless,
he added, the President’s program will
prevail and the battle against inflation
will be won.
One of the measures that will work
toward winning the ^battle will be the
volcntary enforcement of the act, where
controls are possible by the nation’s
retailers who are as anxious as the
shopping public. And assisting will be
the shopping public.
During thfe week, regror%'l OPA
officials at Dallas called attention to
one section of the Price Control Act
that will work toward this enforce-
ment. This section provides that be-
ginning July 31, housewives and other
members of the buying public may
bring civil suits for a minimum of
$50, or treble the amount of the over-
charge (whichever is the greater), plus
attorney’s fees and costs, against any
storekeeper who charges them more for
an article than OPA regulations allow.
Honest storekeepers, and they are in
the great majority, have nothing to
fear from this section of the law, the
OPA officials said. In fact, they will
have the assistance and the protection
of the Office of Price Administration
itself, if actions are brought unjustly, for
spite or to satisfy a grudge.
With the passing ot the July 31
deadline, Administrator Henderson in
Washington announced that the OPA
will turn from educational work to en-
forcement in areas where the OPA’s
explanatory activities have reached a
majority of retailers.
Such enforcement will really be fore
the benefit of the honest storekeepers
as well as for the buying public, be-
cause it will penalize the deliberate
chiseler and profiteer who has con-
tinued to operate outside the law while
his honest competitor has tried to com-
ply by keeping prices under the ceiling.
In addition to the treble-damage suits,
violators of the Price Control Act face
criminal prosecution with maximum
penalties of $5,090 fines, a year’s impris-
onment, or both, civil injunction suits,
or revocation of the license which was
ranted each retailer when the general
maximum price regulation went into
effect.
Also important to the shopping public
was the revelation that the sugar supply
situation was tightening again as a
result of enemy action in the Caribbean
and the war needs for shipping space
that has been used for sugar.
On the other hand, the War Pro-
duction Board took cognizance of the
population shifts that are accompany-
ing the war production and military
training programs and increased tea
and coffee ouotas for critical areas in
the Southwest.
These included42 counties in Texas and
Oklahoma.

Reaching into the junk heaps on the
747,696 farms of Texas, Oklahoma and
Louisiana, a new and greatly increased
salvage drive is being waged to increase
the flow of scrap metal and rubber into
the nation’s war plants.
‘These three states are being expected
to furnish a total of 985.000 tons of
scrap iron and steel before the end of
this year,” said John L. Dellinger,
reigon conservation manager, “and the
farmers and ranchers are being counted
on to supply a large amount of this
scrap material.”
Coincident with the harvest of crops,
farmers and ranchers of the southwest
are asked to harvest their scrap metal
and other junk from their fence corners,
'gullies, pastures, orchards, bams, yards,
and tool sheds and take it to their
nearest community gin, counry store,
schoolhouse, filling station or church,
whichever has been designated as the
collection depot in that community.
From these depots, WPA trucks will
gather up the collection and take it
to junk dealers ifrequested to do so.
Farms have long been one of the most
important sources of scrap metals and
other waste materials which are now
vitally needed by the nation’s war in-
dustries. It is, therefore, every farmer’s
patriotic duty to se that these metals
and other waste materials are made
available to the government or to war
plants. Such metals as brass, copper,
zinc, lead and tin are needed in addition
to iron and steel.
Every ton of scrap iron mixed with
other metal at the smelter will make
four tons of steel. One old disc will
provide enough steel for 210 semi-
automatic light carbines; one old plow
will make 100 seventy-five millimeter
armor-piercing projectiles; one old sho-
vel will make four hand grenades.
GEORGE PARKHOUSE
PLEDGES RURAL FIRE
PROTECTION-COUNTY
Last week, there was published in
the Chronicle a copy of the new citv
ordinance recently passed which pro-
hibits the dumping or burning df lose
trash in alleys or on vacant lots in
the business section, and requires the
use of trash containers for each busi-
ness house under penalty of fines.
This ordinance, together with a newer
one passed only last Monday night
making it unlawful for any person or
group to create any public disturbance,
excess noise, or use loud speaker with-
out proper permission, will be found
in this issue of the Chronicle.
Mayor J. C. Davis urges that every-
one read these ordinances and observe
them so that Carrollton will be a more
desirable place in which to live.
Fire protection for rural communi-
ties of Dallas County was pledged by
George Parkhouse, candidate for Rep-
resentative, Place 4, in speeches to
voters over the district in the runoff
campaign this week.
Every town which now has or may
later organize fire departments meeting
the standards of the State Department
of insurance will be provided with fire
trucks equipped with booster tanks and
other apparatus designed for rural fire
fighting, according to a bill which Mr.
Parkhouse will introduce in the legis-
lature when he is elected. In time of
disaster or wartime attacks, these trucks
would be of immeasurable value to
people living in the smaller incorporated
or non-incorporated areas of Dallas
County, saving their homes and posses-
sions from the ravages of fire, Park-
house declared.
Mr. Parkhouse. a business man, ex-
pressed thanks for the staunch support
which gave him first place in nearly
every rural box in the primary election.
Friends and supporters are confident
of assured victory for him in the run-
off, he stated.
Bom in Cisco, Mr. Parkhouse has
lived in Dallas County most of his life.
He was assistane reading clerk for the
42nd Legislature in 1931 and 1932. and
served as a member of the Lower House
in 1933 and 1934. His experience and
legislative record have won endorse-
ment of his candidacy throughout the
district, he said.
To Carrollton Residents:
It Ir-oks as if we are in the midst
of a drought, amd in order that we
m8y keep our good fire record, each
and every one of us should 9ec that
r>!l grass is cut and trash raked up
for burning.
Cut and remove all grass away
from build’ngs. and dc not bum
in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY, as
the wind is usually the strongest
at that time.
Should you need assistance in the
burning of grass, get in touch with
the fire chief who will be glad to
assist.
