CONE OF US SAY, "You can't fight sOar without
- ha0tng prices go way up" Maybe we are
thinking about the last war. How prices got out
of hand. How bad times were after the war;
Maybe it seems that about all we can do now
is to grin and bear it.
But that's because we haven't taken good
look at what causes the cost of living to head
upward in wartime.
When we do, we find out that there's really
no reason why we can't keep firm grip on prices.
No reason why we can't hold them down to
where they won't hurt too much.
We find that fighting the high cost of living is
twofold job. Part of it is our Governments.
Part is ours.
five each pull an oar, we can't help winning
If we don't, we'll pay doubly for the war-in
higher prices now, in post war trouble.
Things W. can do
There are things each of us can do right now
to make the fight to hold down prices success
full. Our Government has shown us where our
oson job begins and ends. That's all wrapped
up in the seven points you see "boxed" over there
at the right.
These points 60 at the cause of rising
prices with double-edged sword

They put our extra money into places where
it can't be used to bid up prices of the goods
that are scarce. They remind us that from our
own selfish point of viewits good idea to observe
our Governments price and ration regulations.
They give us good program to get started on
this very day-for ourselves and the country
at war.
Here's whot causes Runaway Prices...
In war, most of 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 in
wages and salaries money 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 up at an
auction.
But five follow our Government 7-point program,
