Most Prices Remain
At OPA Levels AS
Price Control Ends

Oakland business houses and most
individuals appeared this week to
have accepted the expiration of OPA
regulations and all price controls
without any undue alarm or behavior.
In this area at least there was no
big boost in prices of commodities
and rents, and merchants were of the
opinion that everything would work
out all right. 81 don't intend to raise
prices unduly," said one merchant
81 want to retain the friendship and
in the future and to take advantage
of them at this time would certainly
not help me in the long run"
j. Glenn Beall, congressman from
this district, has written to service
organizations and others declaring
cit is of tremendous Importance that
the retail merchants in the interest
of their communities and in the in
4 terest of the nation as'"me the great
responsibility now resting upon them
to keep retail prices at the lowest
/ level" If prices were held down re-
CARELESS of former controls it would
bring about greater confidence and
good will in the future Mr.. Beall said
he was suggesting this in the hope
/ that eve will be able to return to the
American competitive system of do
ing business"
/ The one advance in price that was
noticeable to some was the five cents
added to the price of a bottle of beer,
making it twenty cents. Otherwise
most prices were remaining the same
as last week. There was no known
advances in rents. but this area was
not under rent control during the
war.
Throughout the nation most re-
tailers were holding prices at OPA
levels.
Sterilization director Chester
Bowles forecast that the cost of liv-
ing would double within 20 days if
commodity prices continued their
present rise.
Senator Moore, (R-Okla), urged
the nation to wait and see" whether
the prices we are called upon to pay
are as bad or at least any worse than
the black markets under which we
have long SUFFERED and whether in
flatlon would develop. He added that
] Congress is always available for
emergency legislation.
Cattle and hogs were tanning the
market as prices were going up.
Stocks became settled. Cotton futures
fell off. Wool was up Textiles didn't
bulge from OPA ceilings. Poultry
jumped three cents a pound
Loss of subsidies was blamed for
increase in milk, butter cheese, flour
and meat prices in some parts of the
country Retail outlets for food,
clothing and other staples generally
stuck to their pledge to hold prices
at the OPA level until congress has a
chance to do something.
Chief Deputy Comptroller Joseph
0. c. McCusker declared 81 think that
it has been OPA regulations all along
that has hindered a national return
to normal economies"

STREAMS CLAIM THREE
VICTIMS IN PAST FEW DAYS
Minister and Boy
Drown in River AT
Grantsville Friday
Rev. Charles Sisk Loses Life In
Attempt to Rescue William
Roy Speicher, Age 8

Rev Charles Sisk, 32-year-old Meth
odist minister, and William Roy Spei-
cher, 8, son of Mr.. and Mrs Hobart
H. Speicher, of Grantsville, were
drowned last Friday afternoon after
they were swept over mill dam in
the storm-swollen Casselman river
about mile east of Grantsville.
The drowning victims were pro-
nonunced dead by DR.. Alexander So
loska, Salisbury, Pa, after efforts to
revive them by artificial respiration
and resuscitators had failed.
The dual tragedy occurred about
2:20 p. H. while the minister and a
number of Grantsville youths were
attending an impromptu picnic which
followed a two-weeks' Bible school
held there. The lad was not member
of the party and had been warned by
Rev Sisk not to go near the water.
State police said the minister saw
the lad being swept down the swift
flowing stream toward the dam and
walked in to the shallow part of the
river When he saw that he would be
unable to reach the boy from that
point, police said, the minister jump
ed into the deep part of the channel
and both were swept down and over
the 10-foot dam which diverts water
to the Stanton flour mill The bodies
were recovered a few minutes later.
Police were told that Rev. Sisk could
scarcely swim and had no chance
after he was caught by the current
of the stream.
First aid was given by Miss Cath
crime Smith, Garrett County health
nurse, and members of the Grants
vile Volunteer Fire Department who
were called. Maryland State Police
used their own and the Cumberland
police department resuscitators and
used two tanks of oxygen ON the
Speicher lad before they gave up
hope of reviving him. The minister
had been pronounced dead when they
arrived.
The Rev Mr.. Sisk, who came to
Grantsville September /, 1915, as
pastor of the Grantsville Methodist
circuit, was native of WcIch, w. Va.

 First, the Oregon Webfoots beat the Idaho Vandals, 43 to 40, throw ing the Vandals into a first-place tie again wth the Oregon State Beavers for the league leadership.
