Freed from subsidies and 9TH

this industry will not only match,

Every woman in America today
is thinking of the effect of the
termination of OPA upon her gro
Gerry bill and many are confused
by arguments for and against re-
newal of OPA controls.
A clear overall picture OF the
situation is given by Paul S. Will
lis, president of the Grocery
Manufacturers of America, Inc,
who points out that it is i'm
portant to women that they know
more facts, so that they may
create the kind of public opinion
which will soonest bring about a
normal flow of merchandise into
the stores. Once this is achieved,
Mr.. Willis stresses, prices may
once again be controlled in the
way that is best for everybody
by the law of supply and
demand.
In reference to food prices Mr..
Willis reveals:
THE recent abrupt termination
of OPA has provoked widespread
misunderstanding and confusion.
Highly publicized statements have
given the impression that food
prices generally have gone sky
high. Have they?
each consumer car best an
wer that question by using her
own experience as a yardstick.
Is she actually paying more for
her groceries now than she did be-
fore the end of OPA?
Some prices are above the
nominal OPA ceilings, but the
homemaker must remember that
in many cases these ceilings, were
meaningless and misleading, Ell
Their because of the black market
or because many products were
not to be had.
THE manufacturers of branded
food and grocery products were
as much opposed to black market
operations as the homemaker, not
only because they were illegal,
but because black marketeers d.
verted large q ntitios of many
scarce items from legitimate
channels of distribution. Reput-
able manufacturers were both
unwilling and unable to pay I'M
lawful prices for ray materials. II
has been authoriatively estimated
that almost 80 per cent of the
meats were sold in the black mar
ket. thus reducing the legitimate
packers to about 10 per cent Of
their former volume. The same
thing can be said of certain dairy
and other products.
"The reason many product:
we're not available to the home
maker is that the government per
mitted steep increases in both
raw materials and labor while i
held the manufacturers selling

when she came out in a draped model light pink evening dress, the
title wa hers. For her talent exhibition, Miss Jarman sang you
Made Me Love YOU On approaching the ramp, Mary displayed
the charm and poSe that made her a winner. She walked a IS if the
world were at her feet, and who knows, it may be before too long.
Runner-up to Miss Jarman was Miss Sarah Finky) MarIowe who
was beautiful in a light pink evening dress and long white evening
gloves. Catching up her hair on both sides of her face were two
matching pink feathers, and knowing Finky, you a imagine how
lovely she was. She chose a black bathing suit and it displayed
her curvaciousness to perfection. Being the only contestant to choose
dancing as her talent, Miss Marlowe executed ballet steps with the
grace and poise Of a professional. She really was swell! Coming up
in third place was Miss Margie Stegau, a tall brunette who really
took the crowd when she appeared on the ramp in a flame colored
strapless suit. Her evening dress was of lack net trimmed in ba ck
sequins. She also chose singing az her talent.

be retroactive on all projects con-
tracted for after August 81.
