Imposes Price Ceilings On Retreading New Regulations To Be Placed in Effect Jan uary 19. ] WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. —The' I government clamped price ceilings to-, | day on charges that may be made I ; for retreading tires and served notice i prices of used tires would be fixed within a few days to halt “serious [ profiteering.” At the same time two other major { moves were taken bearing on the war i effort on the home front. The nation’s top-ranking medical officers—Surgeons General James C. Magee of the Army; Ross T. Mcln tyre of the Navy, and Thomas Par ran of the Public Health Service—ap pealed for enrollments in the nursing profession. Unless thousands of young wo men promptly enter schools of nursing I they said in a statement, a present shortage of nurses will “grow more critical.” The Office of Civilian Defense an nounced it was preparing a victory Garden program such as was carried out in World War I when household ers were urged to grow their own food. The retread price schedule becomes effective January 19 and was ordered into effect, Price Administrator Leon Henderson said, because profiteering in used and retreaded tires had reach ed a point where it “cannot and will not be allowed to continue.” For a 6.00x16 tire—the size used on most low’er-priced passenger cars— I the maximum permissible charge for 1 retreading or top capping when the best grade camelback is used is $7.50. If done with second-grade camelback, ! the maximum is $6.45. j Dealers selling retreaded tires may ‘ charge the maximum retreading price !in each category of passenger car I tires plus $1.50 for furnishing the tire , carcass. Each retreaded or recapped tire j sold after 8 a. m. January 19 must \ be accompanied by a statement to the ' purchaser as to whether the tire had been retreaded or topcapped, the mar i ket price of the camelback used, and i the depth of the tread at the center of j I the tire after completion of recapping i or retreading. All dealers in such tires must post ■ in their shops a copy of the govern-' : ment’s maximum price list. Here are prices as applied to more popular sizes of passenger car tires: Retreading or Basic Tire Top Capping Size— Carcass (1) (2) 6.00-16 $1.50 $7.50 $6.45 6.25- 1.50 8.25 7.101 6.50- 1,50 8.70 7.50 7.00-16 1.50 10.35 8.95 5.25- 1.50 6.50 5.55 5.50- LSO 7.10 6.05 —HUY DEFENSE BONDS— Student Council Added To School | Program Here This year there have been quite a few helpful additions to the Seminole County High School Program.
