Prices Pegged
OnVegetab|es
BY ANN STEVICK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 - You
will be able to keep your eye on
vegetable prices very soon, when
the new retail cents-per- pound
markups are announced.
Maximum prices and rark-ups
have been announced for all Levels
except retailers. When these are
released, you local price and IA
ton board can set COMMUNICATIVE
flat prices in cents per pound, or
bunch, which Will be easy to
check.
Wholesale prices on snap beans,
carrots and peas are set fairly
high to stimulate production. For
most of the country, prices will be
from IL to one cent a pound less
than New Yorx prices. Beans in
New York retail markets will
range from 20 IL cents a pound in
January to Is cents in June. Car
rots will be 9 l-2 cents a bunch
through June. Peas are % cents
a pound through March, 10 IL
cents from April until June. Egg
plant, peppers and cucumbe-s
have been given reduced prices
because their production is con-
sidered less essential. Eggplant in
New York will be Is IL cents a
pound, peppers 16 cents a pound
until June, when they go down to
10 IL. Cucumbers range from 10
IL cents a pound in January to
9 10 in June.
Vanishing Creams
Don't expect to see supplies CT
your favorite lanolin creams or
cosmetics return. Lanolin supplies
are down a little, no toiletries can
be made of it. Even some of the
less essential industrial uses such
as lubricants and greases have
been given up for February. Surg
ical tape, photograph stencils, in
dustrial protective creams, ONT
ments, and rust preventiveS will
take most of the supply for Feb
ruary.
Odds and Ends
Exported prunes and raisins
have been given higher prices than
those in effect for civilians under

that subsidy benefits are not de-
signed for anybody except domes-

has asked them to leave their bus
inesses or careers, their wives and
children to fight and risk their
lives for little bit of money
part of which they turn back to
the government in the form OF

UNFAIR REASONING
If the soldiers reasoned like Miss
Kellems, they would just up and
stop fighting whenever they de-
cided they didn't approve of the
way things are being rum. They
could claim there is distinction
between "deserting" and refusing
to fight just as Miss Kellems
claims there is distinction be-
tween a decision to withhold a
tax payment and refusal to'pay.' -
Miss Kellems says she is hold
ing back her money because 'eith-
er by design or ignorance. my
government refuses to allow me
to set up a postwar reserve SO
that I may continue this business
which I have spent 16 years - in
building"
Well, the soldier could refuse
to pay his taxes on the same
ground. He hasn't any postwar
reserve" He has given up his joE
or his business, and when the wa,
is over he. will have to start from

From the time of his appoint

Col. Snow exhibited an enthusiast

love for the military service which
he seemingly inherited from his
father, who was a Major Gen

engineers would be justly proud.
Engineers take a large part OF
their reward in job well done.
The spectacle of dirt being NOV
ed, water flowing, bridges, roads
and buildings being built are, to-
gether with the enjoyment pro-
duced for others, large per
ton OF the compensation for an
engineer. This particular engi-
necring feat of Col. Shows will
forever be an honor to the out
standing achievements of this
great engineer, Col. Knight
said.
One of the principal civilian
assistants to Col. Snow when he
was in Wilmington was T. ]. Hew-
lit, now Executive Officer. Mr..
Hewitt, an Engineer department
employe for more than % years,
said "Col. Snow was a great en-
gineer. He was completely popu.
lar with everyone with whom hi
came in contact, from deck hand
on a dredge to the highest gov
eminent or civilian official. In
officially designating Shows cut,
the U. S. Government has hon
ored one of the greatest crusad-
ers the inland waterway has ever
known"
II am highly pleased that Col.
Snow has been officially honored.
He was one of the finest men, as
well as engineers, I have ever
known. I never saw a more en-
thusiastic or pleasant man tc
deal with. Some of the finest en-.

have ever seen were personally
prepared by Col. Snow" P. M.

Chronic. bronchitis may develop if

Creomulsion blends beechwood
