0PA RENT PLAN

Ch a m b er OF Commerce
Asks For Investigation
OF Local Conditions

Calling the OPA rent control
freezing" date here a "discrimina-
ton against our community" the
board of directors of the chamber
of commerce Wednesday adopted a
resolution asking that proper
and thorough investigation be made
of local conditions and an adjust
ment satisfactory to both tenants
and property owners be made.
1t was drawn at the request of
Representative j. Bayard Clark, Of
Fayetteville, who had asked that
representative groups in the city
and county express their view on
the handling of rent ceilings here
The resolution will be handed to a
Congressional committee now study
ing the matter of adjustments.
While an investigation was asked
SO that inequalities may be rem
edied,' it was admitted that "in
such an adjustment perhaps it will
be found that some properties rent
above their normal value, whereas
other properties are entirely too
low
1t was pointed out that this
should result in the bringing about
of an equitable basis for determine
ing all rental values"
An adjustment, it was said, will
"result in the availability of addi-
tional living accommodations to as
sist in caring for the great influx
Of people," thereby contributing to
the war effort.
The resolution was drawn up by
special committee appointed by
the board, comprised of W. A. Fon-

HONE FRONT FORECAbI- Stand By For Canned Food Price Hikes
BY ANN sTEVICK NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Nov. 26.-When the l943 packs of processed fruit and vegetables arrive on grocery shelves you will pay from one to four cents more on a number two can of all majoritems except four vegetables. You will be paying five cents more for one pound jar of strawberry jam. Cider vinegar will rise in price about 50 per cent.
 The four vegetables staying at old prices are tomatoes, peas, snap beans, and corn. It is certain that 1t is not coincidence that these are the four subsidized packs.
 OPA experts estimate that If subsidies should fall, you would pay from $1.05 to $1.50 a pound for but- ter by next spring.
 RAYON REVIEW
 The U. s. Emergency Court ot Appeals, early in December, will hold a preliminary bout on the question of how much you will pay for various types of rayon stock ings. It will decide whether OPA must give a yes-or-r1o answer to demands for a higher price on branded" stockings at once.
 OPA announced that there would be no change in the over- all price regulation until after the first of the year, but manufactur- CTS forced the issue itno court. ODDS AND ENDS

The Marines, says lovely Lt. Louise Stewart-a former maga- zine editor before she joined the Marine Corps Women's Reserve never have to bother their heads about being fat, even though they have seconds when the potatoes and rice buildings are passed.
 Their course of calisthenics, she has found, assures slim Waistlines and hips that are firm and trim. Of the II exercises they do, It.. Stewart believes that the stoop-sit- ting one is probably the most eff fective.
 Here is the way she says it's done: floor between the knees. On count of one, the left leg shoots straight back and weight of the body shifts to the hands and right foot. On two, the left comes back to the original position. On three, the right leg goes back ond weight shifts to the hands and left foot. The right comes back on four, and the move ments are repeated. During the last Is counts, most of the weight is carried on the hands, with the legs alternating back and forth as rap- idly as possible.

 Mothers who are trying to teach their children household chores will find any one of the many new housekeeping sets the candy-coated way of driving home the lesson. Most intriguing are the little wooden housekeeping carts complete with mop, broom, dust pan, dust cloth and flour print apron; small gro- cery stores stocked with standard groceries in small sample packages; and laundry sets including ihoning board, hamper, clothespins and line.
 The schoolboys there are print ing presses, sculpture, chemical and carpentry sets.

Santa's usually bulging pack of Christmas toys will be lot simmer this year thanks to toymakers' troubles with prioritied materials, manpower and other wartime han dicaps. Many of the new toys are made of cardboard, plaster, wood, fabrics and other non-critical ma terials. Typical toymaker's plight is that of one of the largest manu- lecturers of toy electric trains-this year he is putting out trains made of cardboard. There are fairly good toy stocks on hand, but many stores are warning prospective buy CTS that they won't guarantee to fill orders after Dec. l.
 The military predominates in toy marts throughout the coun- try, with guns, tanks, jeeps, mos quito boats, battleships, planes and arhy camps the first choice for tots from 2 to 12.

D MeKENNEY ON BRIDGE

, complicated plays in bridge, the smother play.
 A. M. Sobel the declarer trumped the third round of dia- monds, led the queen of hearts, and Mrs. McKenney (South) re- fused to cover. Sobel then led the jack of hearts, which was al- lowed to hold. Dummy now held the singleton ace of hearts and South the king-eight. It would appear certain that South must make their king, but she didn't, because Sobel employed the smother play.
 Three rounds of clubs were cashed, then the ace and king of spades. I (sitting North) won the third round of spades with the queen. Now I could lead back only club or diamond. East held the ten-nine of trumps, South the king-eight and West the ace of trumps and a spade. You can see that it was impossible for South to make a trick.
