SOME FACTS ABOUT PRICES

SOME FACTS ABOUT PRICES
A good many sincere but mis-
judged people are blaming retail
ers for price increases, and the
steady rise in the cost of living. The
retailer, after all, stands in a close
relationship with the consumer and
and is handy goat.
However, the facts show that re-
failing has done an extremely good
job in holding price increases down.
The statistical charts tell the story
of rising wages, salaries, taxes,
rents and all other costs. Between
June, 1889, and October, 1941, the
wholesale cost of food increased
31.5 per cent--yet the retail cost in
creased only 1872 per cent. The
wholesale cost of clothing increased
1877 per cent--and the retail cost
only 1875 per cent. The same thing
is true of practically everything
sold at retail. In short, retailing, by
increasing efficiency and economy,
and in some cases by voluntarily
reducing it's modest margins of
profit, has passed only a part of
wholesale price increases on to the
consumer.

BIaCkout Trials
Changed TO Aid
Raid Wardens
Dates Set to Make
II Possible for Them
TO Appear in Court

Air raid wardens no longer will
be required to appear as complains
ing witnesses in trials of blackout
violators who admit their guilt,
Frank NJ McLaury. chief air raid
warden, said today.
Under new system soon to go
into effect, the signature of the
warden in the presence Of a court
clerk will serve as sufficient testi-
mony in the conviction Of those
who plead guilty to the charge in
the wardens complaint.
Between so and 80 per cent OF
the cases so far tried have re-
Iquired that the warden appear,
although the offender pleaded
guilty, he said.
SOME CASES DISMISSED
Some cases have been dismissed,
talthough the warden had certified
the violation on his complaint
form, because pressure Of business
or other reasons had made it i'm
possible for him to appear against
the defendant.
Should the defendant plead lnno-
cent, the case will be adjourned
to a time convenient for the
warden. Many of the wardens are
defense workers, McLaury said.
which makes 1t impossible for
them to leave their work and ap-
pear in court.
For their benefit, sessions will
be held in the evening as well as
during regular court periods, so
that they will be able to appear.
FRIENDS NOT FAVORED
No reports have reached his
office of wardens who had not
appeared in court because they
were not inclined to testify against
their friends or neighbors, Nc
Laury said.
"VioIati0n Of a blackout Ii an
act that may endanger the lives
Of many innocent persons" he
continued. 1T Is too serious an
offense 10 be excused because of
friendship, although a warden
who would be guilty of favor
itism would not have signed O
complaint originally"
