When Irene got home from the air
plane factory she was good and
tired. This was the hour, after work
and before dinner, that she always
looked forward to. Her private name
for it was my sissy hour" Into it,
these days, she packed all the lazy,
luxurious little things she loved
things that used to take up lot more
than an hour of her peace-time days.
She sat down at the little desk in
her room. You could tell quite lot
about Irene from that desk. The
water-glass filed with the small bou-
quet of flowers she sometimes bought

of pink marble. The thin, crackly
blue air-mail stationery. And the big,

March Prices

WASHINGTON, April % (UP).
Sometime before the end of this
month you should be able to pur-
chase virtually anything that is
for sale without being told that
the price has gone up.
The general price-freezing order
to be announced Tuesday by the
office of price administration will
become effective almost immedi-
ately, probably on or before May
l, it was learned today. The order
will, with few exceptions, freeze
retail, wholesale and factory prices
of all commodities.
The highest price charged in
March will be the figure frozen
by the OPA order.

line a week or between 10 and 20

motorist will be limited TO APP

Besides the "A" card, four other

will receive a smaller number Of

Henderson, pointing out that de-
liverieS of gasoline 10 filling sta
tionS had been cut 33ia per cent
in the II eastern states because of
tanker sinkings and diversion of
tankers TO military use, said that
hationing was the only way to
assure equitable distribution of
gasoline.
When the rationing program
was announced, Henderson's office
was swamped with telephone calls
and inquiries. A thousand and
one questions poured in.
FLOOD OF QUESTIONS
How will the order affect filling
stations?
How many will be forced TO
close up?
How about the business Of road
houses and beer gardens in re-
mote areas?
How ABOUT pleasure driving
How about downtown theater
businesses, which depend TO a
large extent on the ability of
patrons to use motor cars?
How about touring and vaca-
tons?
Will the public transportation
systems be able to take care of
persons who cannot use their cars
because of gas rationing?
To all the questions Henderson's
office had one answer-car owners
will have to abide by the rationing
rules.
Motorists will be allowed TO use
all their units at once if they de-
sire but after the units are eX
hausted they will not receive any
additional allowances.

dealt a death blow to Sunday anC
