Text Of state oPA Director Ches-
ter Bowies' weekly broadcast on cur
rent trend IN price sterilization pro-
gram:
Last week, I talked 10 you about
the urgent need for q courageous
program on price and rent controls
I stated my personal belief that we
must establish prices and rentals
which cannot be bent or broken. ]
said that unless our present prices
and rents are controlled vigorously,
we will soon face rapidly rising liv.
ing costs and the strong possibility
Of q wild imitation which would
bring acute suffering 10 every citi.
zen in our state and In our country.
During the last few weeks, there
have been many rumors that the
OPA would soon be asked to increase
the price that you people pay for
milk. ] would like 10 make Il clear
that under presen circumstances
the ONCE Of Price Administration
is opposed to any steps which will
increase the cost Of living.
It Is our job TO control the cost
Of living, and within the limits OF
the law and the authority vested in
us, we are going to carry out our
responsibilities. Milk is a vitality i'm
portant part Of our family diet and
our family budget. In l043, we must
maintain steady flow Of milk To
Connecticut homes. BY some means
we must attempt TO accomplish this
with no increase In the price which
you are now asked to pay.
Certainly, the production and dis
tribution Of milk Is not a simple
problem. Many Connecticut dairy
farmers say, with the utmost sim
certify, that unless they are given Q
higher price they may not be able
to maintain milk production. Deal.
ers who distribute our milk from
the farmer To your home say with
equal sincerity that II this increase
TO the farmer Is allowed, they In
turn must be permitted TO charge
you and your family higher price
for every bottle,
OubUH kACCUAAbhUu8
1t would be outrageously unfail
to accuse your Connecticut dairy
farmers or our Connecticut milE
dealers Of attempting TO profiteer or
the war. Today, are dairy farmer,
are cheerfully working long hour'
with insufficient help TO carry out
their wartime responsibilities. They
are worried about feed and spare
parts for their equipment, and fer.
tilizer for their pastures. Because
Of the discrepancy between farm
wages and industrial wages, they
are constantly fearful that their Ia.
Dor problems win become more acute
With q full understanding Of these
difflcult dairy problems, let's exam
inc the Connecticut milk industry
as 1t stands today.
At present, the farmer Is paid
eight and seven-eighths cents for
every quart Of milk used In fluid
form. In most cities and towns In
the state, you are now paying six.
teen cents o quart. Folks who live
In Washington, d. G. pay only twelve
cents a quart How Is this four cent
difference explained?
In Washington, practically all
milk Is sold through retail stores.
Folks buy milk along with their
bread and cereals and vegetables.
In Connecticut, as in most other

With BILL ACKERMAN.

Many owners of outboard motors
believe that gasoline obtained prior
to the current ban on all unessential
use may be expended as they please.
They are mistaken If they are
found using it for recreational fish,
ing, it probably will mean that
when gasoline again is available
they will not get any.
The best plan at present is to
forgo any fishing where the use OF
gasoline is required either for car
or boat.
Channel bass are running in the
surf along the Maryland and Vir-
ginia beaches although there have
been no reports so far Of any being
caught by surf fishermen. The
great amount being taken in pound
nets, however, is ample proof.
Without car there is no way by
which the famous Fox Hill Levels
below Ocean City may be fshed.
The beach above the inlet, while not
nearly so productive, is worth a try
and it is easily reached.
Hardheads and trout, too. are
feeding in the sloughs along the
beaches. The pier and jetties at the
inlet are perfect vantage points and
are attracting many fishermen.
Later, when the fish come inside,
fishing from skiffs in any of the
channels will be well worth while.
Commercial fishermen out OF
Ocean City have been taking blue
fish for the past week. The fish ara
not the big busters of other years,
but the little 2-pounders known as
summer blues. There is no chance
for the recreational fisherman to
get in on this fishing at this time.
He may do so later, perhaps, and
then he may find schools have
started to attain their former i'm
| portance.
1t is likely that surf fishing will
gain many converts, for in many
areas it will be the only manner
in which it will be possible to fish
this summer. Once these neWcom-
ers learn the fun of casting in the
surf it is hardly to be expected
they ever will return to the more
proSaic still fishing from a boat.

In Return Engagement at Tokomo Friday

Rex and Frances Wilson, Takoma S
