Slight Change In
Vegetable Prices

Housewives will note that
there is a slight change in the
prices of most fresh fruits and
vegetables" it was announced by
officials of the local rationing
board this week.
A community ceiling price has
been placed on these items. In
the past there had been only a
percentage mark-up. Grocery
stores should have these commun-
ity ceiling prices on display, but
if they should not, purchasers
should ask to see them, it was
explained.
Price control is important to
the war effort and the housewife
can help protect the home front
by not paying in excess of the
ceiling price, it was announced.

News of the invasion was well
coined with a heart warming re-
action in Moscow, the full import
of the action being realized grad
ually as successive broadcasts
brought the people word of the
developments from London.
There was no public shouting
and cheering, but Russian citi-
zens and officials alike were dis
cussing events with lively en-
thusiasm.
A joint announcement of the
momentous western invasion was
made to the Soviet press by Ma
jor General John r. Deane, chief
of the U. S. military mission, and
Lieutenant General Brocas Bur-
