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.” New Salem News Mrs. Archie Gray and children of Chattanooga, spent the week¬ end with Mr. and Mrs. H.
