Mrs. Sykes Issues Hurry Call
For Volunteer OPA Workers
Housewives Urged to
Fill Hundreds of
Places in Progfom

Mrs: Clewell Sykes, District
housewife who is giving five full
days each week to volunteer war
work, today urged that additional
persons enlist for service on the
home front.
Between 700 and 300 volunteers,
Mrs. Sykes disclosed, are urgently
needed to help the District Office of
Price Administration with the price
control and rationing programs.
Nearly 400 are needed as price
assistants, $50 others to help pre-
pare and mail the new ration books
to local applicants. In smaller
numbers, volunteers must be found
who can aid local ration boards in
processing fuel oil applications, or
work in the District OPA Office at
$500 Connecticut avenue NV, as
typists, filing secretaries or recep-
tionistS
Can Volunteer by Phone.
Arrangements to volunteer can be
made by telephoning Mrs. Sykes at
Ordway 6700, by calling the Civilian
Defense Volunteer Office at 1924 F
street NV, Republic 51O5, or by
going in person to the CDVO down.
town booth on Pennsylvania avenue
near Thirteenth street NV.
One of the most urgent needs,
Mrs. Sykes said, is for price as
sistants. whose job it will be to give
storekeepers information about OPA
regulations and to make periodic
checks Of the stores to see that
above-ceiling prices are not being
charged.
The OPA plans to assign five
stores to each price assistant, so
800 volunteers must be obtained to
cover the 1900 retail food establish
ments here. The first check of
prices must be completed within the
next 10 days.
A crew of volunteers already is at
work in the OPA mailing center,
Twenty-siX and D streets NV,
where the new No. 3 ration books
are being prepared and mailed to
District consumers. So that the
books can all be distributed by the
