Office Now Closed

The Price Control Board at
Yazoo City, serving the counties of
Yazoo, Holmes, and Humphreys was
closed on November 4th, 1916, DR..
Grantham, Chairman of the local
board announced today.
"This step marks the conclusion
of almost five years of unpreceden-
ed patriotic service by local citizens
of these counties, who through their
thousands Of hours of volunteer
work, have prevented inflationary
dangers from taking effect and saw
that their neighbors had an equal
right to their full share of scarce
commodities during the days of rat
ioning."
members of the Area Price Con-
troll Board stayed on the job for
more than a year after the end of
the war. Production has had
chance to catch with demand. Now
that President Truman has announ-
ced the program for accelerating
the remaining wartime controls,
Price Administrator Paul A. Porter
has determined that the remaining
functions Of local boards can be con-
tinued by the District OPA Office
at Jackson"
DR.. Grantham gave the following
information as to the conducting OF
OPA business in the future: 1. Trade
and consumer inquiries about price
control formerly handled by Price
Control Boards should be addressed
to the OPA District Office in Jack
son, Mississippi.
Q. Certificates Of Transfer covering
sales Of used passenger automobiles
may be obtained from principal auto
dealers. Dealers should request add
itional supplies from the OPA Re-
gional Mail Center at Atlanta, Ga. 3.
Sugar rationing has been admins
tered from the District Office since
last January. In the future, sugar
forms required by the trade and
consumers may be obtained from the
District Office. 4. Pending Compi-
ance actions by the board will be
transferred to the District Office.

primanded for publishing the truth
and to be suppressed by the court
for doing that is denying you and
your papers of the right by an act
Of Congress freedom Of the press,
the right to publish the facts of any
case for the public good. This you
must have been doing and the prih-
cipal party responsible for better
ment Of law enforcement can't wear
the shoe when it fits
If all news editors would start
crusade through their columns
against all classes Of crime now
sweeping the country and arouse
their respective communities to
fight the rise they would be doing
for their communities what Mr..
Hoover Of the F. B. !. has been try
ing to do for two or three years
rise of which he has given many
warnings through both magazine
and newspaper articles.
Things aren's so good here
either especially when its come to
the suppression of gaming although
the County Judge has probably
done more to suppress gambling in
the county since he has been in Off
ice than has any previous chief
justice of the county though not
all has been completely wiped out.
But getting back to you, what
you have been trying to do for the
good Of the people of your comm
unity should have not been criticized
by court of law neither should be
suppressed for giving facts to the
public as to the existing conditions
of the community
So you see I personally think
that the findings Of the court
against you was quite unjust of your
rights, and that your conviction of
contempt should be cleared by the
State Supreme Court

a deputy sheriff accompany that

Another thing that is even more
interesting is the statement that you

of these laws. / have fought liquor

Last week I was inquiring about

flying in on the front page. ! had
asked Cliff and his old buddy where
you were and doing what. Their
ignorance Of your doings was abys-
NAL.
Five years in the Army, thirty
seven months overseas, came out
with 50% disability on CDD, still
single, don't drink, that's it l guess.
Since being out Of the Army I've
been with VA here in Montgomery.
l have a home, bought a new one.
My mother is with me. I've been
out a year.
Do you ever come to Montgom-
cry. If you so you have an invitation
to spend the night with me, er, at
my home, / mean, of course.
I though by now you would be
married with six children at least.
Have you been married at all or any?
Hope your term in Jail will be
both pleasant and instructive.
