Drive to Mobilize Price
Control Forces To Be
Launched in Countv
A drive to mobilize price con¬
trol forces among retailers and
consumers in Dade County will
be launched March 13 under the
direction of the local War Price
and Rationing Board, A. L. Dyer,
chairman, announces.
The program calls for about
twenty of price panel represen¬
tatives to conduct a survey of
every food store in Dade County
with the main objective of help¬
ing retailers to understand nec¬
essary price control require¬
ments.
In the survey, 10 popular mar-
et-basket food items will be
checked for selling and ceiling
prices. A second check, about two
weeks later, will be made of all
food stores where price violations
were discovered on the first
check. Later, storekeepers who
were “out of line” during the
second survey will be asked to
meet with the price panel of the
local board and deliberate viola¬
tions will be referred to the OPA
district office for enforcement ac¬
tion.
Mr. Dyer said that one of the
primary jobs of the local board
now is to show retailers that
complete compliance with price
regulations will result in firm
control of living costs in this
area. He also emphasized that
the drive also will serve to pro¬
tect storekeepers and their cus¬
tomers from black market com¬
petition.
“At the same time,” he added,
“it will enable the board to bring
deliberate violators to the the at¬
tention of OPA enforcement of¬
ficials as a protection for the
great majority of honest mer¬
chants who are abiding by the
price control regulations.”

Old Time Fiddlers’
Convention To be Held
Here March 24 - 25
Things are beginning to gear
up for another Old Time Fiddlers’
Convention, quartet singing, shin
dig, hoe down and what have
you. For the past some time, the
question “When are we going to
have another Fiddlers’ Conven¬
tion?” has been asked. Well, the
date is fixed and the prepara¬
tions are being made. The date,
or dates, are Friday and Satur¬
day nights, March 24th and 25—
and frankly, everything indi¬
cates that this Will be far ahead
of any convention ever held in
Dade County. Dade County High
School auditorium is the place.
The event is being staged to
help raise funds to meet Dade’:,
Red Cross quota of $1800. This
certainly is a worthy cause and
so just start planning now to be
on hand for this annual event.
Everyone in Dade County and
surrounding section rc-membei
the last convention held here;
they remember John Patterson,
the banjo wizzard from Atlanta;
J. Laurel Johnson and J. Laurel
Jr.. Bud Silvey and Earl John
son, also from Atlanta; Leslie
Blevins from Long Island, Ala.;
and, many others, along with the
local boys and girls. Mr. John¬
son, the nation-wide famous
violin maker, says he is getting
his gang “organized” and will
be “Johnny on the Spot”. In ad¬
dition to the same fellows, Mr.
Johnson is contacting a number
of other fine musicians and win
have them here “with bells on.
And, in the meantime, there will
be plenty, and we mean,, plenty
of quartets, entertainers, etc.,
etc. Grady Bradford and Elbert
Forester, who are looking after
the arrangements for the event
say nothing is going to be “left
out.”
Keep an ear to the ground .
This is just “article 1” on this
Fiddlin’ Convention Business.
We will keep you informed
through The Times each week
until the dates. You know what
it means to say that Dade Coun¬
ty is going to put on a Fiddlers
Convention, etc. . . . ’Nuff said
. . . Watch The Times!
