COnn,unitu PRICING Extended to Entire State by OPS

MANY may wonder what they
should do if they find a grocer sell
ing a posted item over ceiling
Mr.. Hoffman said. ."We suggest
that any over ceiling sales be first
called to the attention of the grocer.
Should it be an honest error on his
part or by one of his employees,
he will be quick to correct it. Only
if over-ceiling sales persist should
they be brought to our attention.
This can be done by contracting us
at 306 West Franklin Street in
Baltimore.
1--WE sincerely hope that house
wives throughout Maryland will
take advantage of Community
Pricing. Check prices at your
grocery on the new Community
Pricing Posters, Mr. Hoffman said.
Grocers who do not receive posters
should contact the OPS office in
Baltimore Immediately. The ad

By Monday, November II all
grocery stores in the state of Mary
land will be required to post ceiling
prices listing over 400 cost-of-liv-
ing items on special OPS posters,
under the Community Pricing Pro-
gram, it was announced by Hugo
R. Hoffman,, Maryland OPS Di-
rector.
The posters, prepared with the
cooperation of wholesale grocers
throughout the state, will be pre-
pared by OPS and mailed directly
to the grocery stores. Grocers
must post these ceiling price pos
tiers in a place where the shopper
can easily see and read them.
The ceiling prices of such staples
as flour, rice, coffee, lard and such
standard items as butter, oleo,
cheese, cereals and baby foods will
be found on the posters. House
wives will be able to check the cell
ing prices of these items against
the ceiling prices on the posters.

"The farm labor situation
throughout the country is becom-
ing more acute and serious" ac-
cording to C. r. Schoby, President
of the American Dairy Association.
Mr.. Schoby, an Iowa dairy farm
er, says growing shortages of
dairy farm workers and the heavy
investment a dairy farm demands
today leads him to wonder if the
question show much does a quart
of milk cost" may turn into "where
can we get quart of milk 2"
Census figures show" Mr..
Schoby declared, "that there were
about 100000 fewer people work
ing on u. S. farms in 1850 than in
1910.
1.-THE decline of farm workers
was caused largely by the decrease
in the number of farm operators
and family workers who are mem
bers of the operators family, re-
snlting from the decrease in the
number of farms. There were ap-
proximately 100000 fewer hired
workers on farms in 1850 than in
1910. Expenditures for hired labor
were 271 per cent greater than in
1889.

$4,000 Damascus
Fire Destroys
Barns and Stock

Two barns on the farm of Paul
Welch, Damascus, along with "a
heifers, were destroyed BY fire
Sunday afternoon. The barns,
which were in the rear of the main
Damascus business block, close to
the local theatre, and the stock
were valued at $4,000.
Mr.. Welsh said about one-third
of the loss was covered by insur-
ance.
Chief Kenneth Howes of the Da-
maseus Volunteer Fire Department
said five firemen suffered minor
injuries in the blaze which sent
75-foot flames roaring into the air
shortly after l o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon.
In addition to the 81 heifers
which were lost, Mr.. WEIGH said
large quantities of hay, feed and
equipment were destroyed. Anoth-
er "a heifers also housed in one of
the barns escaped.
County police said the fire was
set accidentally by two boys, 10
and 5 years old, who were playing
with matches. The older boy re-
portedly dropped a match which he
thought had gone out. Within a
few minutes, however, the hay
famed up.
Failing in their attempts to
stamp out the blaze, the boys ran
to neighbors for help. Both boys
were turned over to their parents,
pending action by the Juvenile
Court.
Residents of Damascus said the
fire burned so furiously for time,
it was feared the business block
would go up in flames. They said
the fire could be seen from Mt.
Airy and that the heat could be
felt half-a-mile away.
Firemen from Damascus, Gath
ersburg, Mt. Airy, and Hyattstown
fought the blaze and brought it
under control in an hour and a
half.

the grocer need not, and in most
instances probably will not sell at
the ceiling price," Mr.. Hoffman
said. "He may, of course, sell
under ceiling but must not sell at
over ceiling prices"
Community Pricing does three
things. First, it makes prices on
the items listed uniform through
out the area covered and in each
of the OPS Group Store classical
ton; Second, it reduce the amount
of paper work the grocer has had
to do in order to properly price
these 400 items in the past. Fin
ally, it gives the housewife an OPP
portunity to see OPS at work and
to check prices on important cost
of-living items.
Community Pricing has been in
operation in the Baltimore metro
politan area since October 9th.
The cooperation of the grocery
trade with OPS has made this rapid
expansion of the program to the
entire state possible.

1858 Net Farm Income
Expected to Be Lower

Net farm income for 1853 will be
lower than in 1852, agricultural
economists from the University of
Maryland predict. They say that
farmers will face rising production
costs while, in most cases, the
prices they receive will continue
the same, or may even drop.
General business activity will re-
main brisk, the University econo-
mists explain, because of defense
spending by the government. De-
mand for agricultural products in
the year ahead will continue good,
supported by high industrial pro-
cuction, full employment, high
wages and consumer income.
Maryland farmers will find the
greatest hope for 1868 profits in
efficient production and marketing.
This is always good business, the
Uniyersity's agricultural econo-
mists say. But they emphasize the
Importance of production and mar
keting efficiency in view of the
anticipated cost-price squeeze.
Price prospects for individual
commodities vary considerably.
Here is summary of the outlook
prepared by the University's De-
partment of Agricultural Econom-
les and Marketing:
BrOilers = Demand will remain
strong, but prices will be greatly
influenced by supply. If production
remains about the same, prices
should average slightly higher
than the relatively low prices pre-
vailing in early 1852. Feed costs
will remain higher.
Beef = Prices are expected to
= remain below 1852 levels, reflect
ng an anticipated all-time record
of SO million head of cattle on U. S.
farms next January.
Eggs = The smaller number of
layers on farms should result in
lower production and high egg
prices during the spring of 1858.
Hogs = Although price increase
may be small, profits may improve
next year, due to an expected lower
cost of corn.
Tobacco - Growers are not like
ly to receive better prices than in
1852, unless attempts to amend the
price support law are successful.
Vegetables Relatively high
prices in 1852 may encourage
growers to plant larger acreages
in 1858. If weather conditions are
favorable, an Increased supply may
depress prices below 1862 levels.

IS Elderly Patients Perish Tn Nursing Home Fire

HILLSBORO, Mo-, tP)-Eight- cen elderly patients died Friday night as fire roared through a three-story nursing home here.
 Most of the dead were trapped on the third floor of the stone structure. Other bodies were found a floor below.
 A nurse first discovered the blaze about 5:45 pm. as smoke and sparks came from a ceiling of the first floor between the main building and an annex.
 The fire spread quickly up the stairways and along corridors as attendants tried to get the 85 residents of the home, several of them invalids, out of the building.
 Hillsboro Fire Chief Richard King said the blaze apparently began in mems Washroom on the first floor. He made no dam age estimate on the main building which he called a total loss.
 At least 36 other residents of the home were reported injured. They were taken in ambulances to hospitals in the St. Louis area.

Engineers In Alaska Defense Program Must Contend With Everything
 From Earthquake to Cabin Fever

a "crash" program which had to be built in a rush.
 It. Col. Carl Farrell, deputy district engineer, tells reporters: "The Corps of Engineers is proud of it's accomplishments. It has no- thing to hide. We have made mis- takes but feel they were very minor and have been corrected"
 For one thing, the Army has benefited equally with the Air Force. Fort Richardson probably is the only army post entirely new and modern. When the Air Force took over the old fort nearby and renamed it Elmendorf Air Base, the Army was provided with it's new home next door.
 Tn the barracks, some of which already are occupied, the GI is finding literally he never had 1t SO good, as far as housing com fort is concerned. Although short of luxurious they are a far cry from the tar paper buildings of the two world wars. They are entirely self contained, with quar- ters and feeding facilities for company sized units. Squad rooms sleep 50 men but no longer are the hunks only inches apart.
 Like Ladd, Eielson also shows little resemblance to the old Mile 26" base of World War II days. Among other things, it now has one of the longest runways in the world, over 14,0OO feet. A hangar which is 400 by 400 feet can take couple of B-36s at one time for repair or servicing.
 However, it appears even with cOmpleuOn or current programs there still will be a housing short age for servicemen with depend ents in Alaska. Officials are striv- ing to get men out of exorbitant- rent buildings off the base, which one officials describes as little more than novels"
 With completion of new run ways, parking areas, hangars and repair and supply facilities, three big fields in Alaska-Elmendorf, Ladd and Eielson nm are able to handle anything that flies, from fighters to the largest bombers.

By ELTON FAY

FORT RICHARDSON, Alaska, P- Army engineers who have virtually rebuilt and multiplied the size of most major air and ground Notifications in Alaska in a half-billion dollar program have had to contend with everything from earthquakes to "c b /. n fever"
 And that includes costs of a vast amount of material going into the prograrn-a factor which may mean materials for. the Ladd- Eielson airdronne cost more than twice as much as back home and three or four times over the state side costs for distant and secret projects out at the far edge of this huge territory.
 Everything conspires to make military construction more expen- sive and vastly more difficult.
 Take the earthquake problem:
 Quakes here, in what scientists call a zone three," aren't dan gerous but troublesome. In new concrete and steel construction, big buildings must be built in separate sections which can roll with a temblor, each section link ed to another by movable joint. That also costs money, say the engineers.
 Cabin fever is a problem which crops up usually out i'll the bush on little projects where handful of men work and live together for long months in entirely isolated conditions. Quarrels develop - and work stops.
 Then, especially in sub-Arctic and Arctic Alaska north of the range" there is the cold. It para lyzes most building outside in winter. An old saying here is that it takes twice as many men to do half as much work half as well in the cold
 Moreover, it is not just this years cold which causes trouble, but freezing whic h happened geological cons ago. In stripping ground away for the base of new bomber runWays, engineers en- counter ice which formed millions of years ago. It causes endless trouble in locating and construct ing airstrips and buildings and utility lines.
 Unlike air base construction under Army Engineer supervision in North Africa, Alaskan defense construction h produced no major criticism from Congress. One reason seems to be it is not
