How YOU can team with Uncle Sam
to hold down your o1ym cost of huim&

IT'S HUMAN NATURE to try to make someone the
goat when things 60 wrong. Maybe we're
thinking already, "If the cost of living does 90
clear through the roof, it won't be our fault"
But we can't be sure of that We see why
when we take good look at this threat of run
away prices. We find that we're going to have
mighty hard time shifting the blame from our
own shoulders if prices do go haywire.
Of course, it's not entirely up to U.S. Our Gov
ernment has job to do-but Government price
controls are not enough unless we as individuals
pitch in and help.
7 Things We can do

now to hold down prices
Together they make double-barreled weapon

column at the causes of runaway prices.
Some of the seven points remind us that it's

ration regulations. The rest of the points show
other ways to hold the lid on prices. They sug-
gest that we put our wartime money, as much
as we can Of it, into places where it won't be

Here's whot causes Runaway Prices...
In war, most of our factories are working full
time making weapons. And whole lot fewer
peacetime goods are being made.
At the same time, many of us are being paid
more in wages and salaries than ever before.
If we disregard price ceilings and try to use
this extra money to buy these few goods-bingo!
prices start going up! It's just the way prices go
