OPA Announces
Two Week Ration
Free Shoe Sale

Another ration-free period
wherein shoe dealers may get rid
of odds and ends and broken
sizes without ration stamps, has
been announced by the Office
of Price Administration.
According to OPA, dealers will
have a two-week period from
February 10 through March 3,
during which over four and a
half million pairs of shoes will be
offered at specified price reduc-
ton, and without requirement OF
ration stamps.
These shoes have accumulated
on dealers shelves during the
past several months, OPA stated.
Ordinarily, they would be moved
by means of seasonal clearance
sales, but even at reduced prices,
customers refuse to surrender
their precious ration stamps for
them. This stamp holiday" is
declared to give dealers an oppor-
tunity to clear their shelves and
also to ease the shoe situation
for consumers.
Mems and women's shoes alike
are being featured in the odds
and ends and broken sizes; but
children's shoes are not included
AS Major w. E. Holcomb, district
director of OPA, remarked, the
demand for children's shoes ex-
ceeds the supply, and there is nc
surplus accumulated on dealers
shelves.
This two-week sale, listed of
ficially as "OPA Odd Lot Re
lease" does not affect the sale
of a dealers regular stock, which
still requires ration stamps or
the regular basis.

Production
Early in l941 the National Nee
dlecraft Bureau. an organization
devoted to the promotion of sew-
ing among the women of Amer
lea, offered its cooperation in an
effort to stimulate the production
OF garments for war refugees.
This offer WAS accepted and as
a result, il is estimated that over
half a million garments we're
turned in to chapters and sent to
our export warehouses. The pro-
ject was repeated in 1912, l943
and 1914 and resulted in a large
number of garments being made
available, although we have no
definite figures as to the total
quantity turned ove to our chap
tiers.
During the period of February
1924, the National Needlecraft
Bureau will again promote a Sew
md Save Week campaign and
Irge women throughout the coun-
try to make garments for foreign
war relief, disaster relief or 9TH
er local needs and to give the
garments to their local Red Cross
chapters.
The materials for these gar
ments is to be furnished by the
individuals making them. You
may make your own choice as to
where these garments will be
sent; either for war relief. disas-
ter relief or any other local need.

M. MESA BUYS
in TWO PIECES
OEPROPEl'lRTY
ONE AT ELIZABETH AND

ON sIMoNToN STREET.
NEAR CAROLINE

Mrs. Harriet T. Mack, widow
of the late Norman E. Mack, who
was the owner of the Buffalo
Times and, at one time, was the
chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, has sold the
house and lot on the northwest
corner of Eaton and Elizabeth
streets, and a lot on Simonton
street, near Caroline, to Marcos
A. Mesa for $4,000.
The building at Eaton and
Elizabeth streets was constructed
by the late Mayor Leslie A.
Curry, who conducted a drug
store in a part of the building,
which he sold during the 1925
boom.
The property, as well as other
real estate locally and also on
Big Pine, Summerland and other
keys, was purchased by the Big
Pine Key ideally Company,
which, Mrs Mack Ssays in the
deed has been dissolved as a
Florida corporation, and that she
is the OWNER of all the stock,
Size of the lot on which is sit
uated the former Curry building
is SIS by 1913 feet, and the Simon
ton street lot has a frontage OF
SIS feet and a depth of 113 feet.

in 1888, and that the proposed
charter will be the first new"
one since that time. Here again,
he is correct, because the basic
principal of city government,
provided for in the charter of LOT
years ago, is the same now as it
was then.
While it is true that for good
many decades members of the
governing body were called
aldermen" that term is inter
changeable with "councilmen,
for the simple reason that, when
the name was changed, it did not
in the least affect the basic prin-
cipal of government.
The charter was revised So
years ago by the late W.. Hunt
Harris and, of course, the revi-
sion, together with other con
tents Of the charter, had to be
validated, as was done when
Changes were made again in
1919, and were supposed to be
made in 1929, but none of the
changes at any time affected
the basic form of government.
But the proposed charter, if
validated, will change the form
of government entirely. There
fore, as Mr.. Singleton said, it
will be the first new charter
since 1888.
