tioning was made effective Aug. 81,
when tractor implement tires were
made ration-free. The supply of
this type tire is deemed sufficient
to handle the requirements of farm
tractors, combines and other imple
ments using tractor-implement type
tires, and the rationing Of these was
dropped Immediately, as restrictions
will be ended on all rationed COM
modities as fast as conditions per-
nit.
Earlier in the month used truck
tires were made ration-free. Used
passenger tires had been released
from rationing several months ago.
New truck tires and new passenger
car tires remain rationed.
Credit for the success of ration
ing programs goes largely to the
people themselves, Price Admins
tration Chester BoWles said in an
nouncing that gasoline, fuel oil, oil
stoves and canned fruits and vege
tables were freed from rationing
Without the peoples understanding
and support the job Of rationing
would have been impossible, he
added.
OPA has announced the removal
of price control from number of
consumer goods articles that do not
enter into the cost of living, in
Guiding some items of jewelry,
sports equipment, and Photographic
apparatus, as we'll as cigaret light
ers, pipes, clothespins, notions, and
toys retailing for Is cents or less.
Reports from the Bureau Of La
Dor statistics show that Montana
and the Rocky Mountain States are
in better shape with regards to food
supplies than any other part of the
country. The report indicated that
all stores in the region carried
stocks of butter, margarine, can
ned peas, beans, milk and tomato
juice, and a larger percentage OF
stores were stocked with meat sup
plies than in other regions. All
stores in this area carried sugar
stocks.
OPA officials emphasized the
splendid job being done by price
panel members on local boards in
their VI day messages, and point
ed out that in the next few months,
when the pressure of postwar in
flation are heaviest, these volun-
teers will take the lead in keeping
steady the consumers dollar by
watching the pennies in the cost of
living.
Now more than ever we must
watch out for initiation As manu-
facturers 60 back to producing
peacetime products, and consumers
eagerly await the first of many
scarce items, the urge to pay more
than legal ceiling price will be
strong. Unless price lines are held
we may find ourselves in an infla-
tionary period rivaline the one that
followed the last war. Never pay
more than ceiling prices.
After the end of World War. /,
sugar was $2.85 for 10 pounds. Be-
cause Of OPA's price control dur
ing this program, sugar is fairly
distributed to everyone, and the
price is about one-fourth, or under

Single F|owering Cherry Trees
To Be in Bloom Palm Sunday

The single-flowering cherry trees
around the Tidal Basin in West Po-
tomac Park will be in bloom on Palm
Sunday. March Is, or fully 10 days
earlier than last year, National Cap
ital Parks horticulturists predicted
today.
The unusually warm weather of
the last "a hours is responsible for
the prediction, the NCP office said.
Prospects were that mild weather,
though not as hot as yesterday
would continue over the week end.
The Weather Bureau, however, pre-
dicted increasing cloudiness tonight
with the probability of showers and
somewhat lower temperatures to-
morrow.
The single cherry blossoms will
last for about 10 days, it was pre-
dicted, or through Easter Sunday.
The Chinese "cup-and-saucer''
magnolias and the forsythia plants
in the parks also should be in bloom
next week, giving the Capital an
early and colorful preview OF spring,
he said.
