Yet despite the fact that there
has been a let.up of work on the
accumulation Of canning supar ap
plications, due to a shortage in
the local office Of 1900 sugar
stamps-withheld by the Detroit
office, doubtless, because there ia
little sugar to be obtained at the
present time-and even with the
good help noted above, more vol.
unteers are badly needed in two
departments. Mrs. Alice Pepper
chief clerk, states that the fuel
oil situation is really serious, with
cold weather just around the cor
ner and applications piling UP
much faster than they can be
handled. The work in this de-
partment is, in fact, over two
months behind schedule situa-
ton that Is calling forth criticism
from Detroit. The processing
work is simple, Mrs. Pepper adds,
and easily within the scope of high
school intelligence. To aid in the
crisis, panel members business
mem who are supposed to act in
an advisory capacity only, and then
in the evening, have been leaving
their own business houses during
the day to do this work.
Men Required
Mrs. Clara Owens, price panel
clerk, today advised that she is in
need Of more volunteers-particu.
larly men, for survey work. Initial
surveys are entirely dependent on
volunteer help, and the govern
ment is placing more and increas-
ing emphasis on this type Of SER
vice in the effort to keep down
initiation now and after the war is
won. Certain phases OF the work
call for men surveyors.
