over 200 years old. The guests re
turned to the table again and
again to replenish their plates.

played with Mrs. Pete Sather
Mrs. James Hewitt and Mrs. Pete
Olson the winners for the ladies

Butter Fats Going Into
“Luxury” Items
The question of butter—which
has received increasing attention
here the past few weeks—also has
been calling forth plenty of dis
cussion in the States, where there
has been even more of a shortage
and “butter has bceome the major
topic of discussion,” according to
editorial comment.
While the government in gen
eral, and OPA in particular, has
been blamed for the butter short
age, OPA officials point out that
the cause is largely due to the fact
that dairymen are diverting much
of their available supplies of but
terfats to higher paying outlets
such as cheese and ice cream man
ufacturers.
An absence of ceiling prices on
cream, clue to Department of Ag
riculture rulings, has put makers
of so-called luxury items such as
ice cream, whose purchases of
cream for these purposes are not
price controlled, in a more favor
able buying position. This in turn
puts the butter makers in an un
favorable position on the open
cream market.
Allocation of available cream
on an equitable basis to all users
or a ceiling price on all sales of
cream would greatly ease the
present shortage, it is felt. Gov
ernment officials are giving the
entire dairy products problem
careful consideration and working
toward its solution.

New Wage Regulations
Issued By WSB
—
The new wage regulation issued
recently permits employers to re
serve their right to ask post ap
proval of wage increases by filing
a notice with the Wage Stabiliza
tion Board, Thomas Fair Neblett.
chairman of the 10tn Regional
WSB, has said.
Mr. Neblett pointed out that pre
viously any increases made after
March 15 without prior WSB ap
proval could never be used as a
basis for increasing prices or cost
to the government. On increases
made on or before February 13
and March 14, however, employ
ers could apply, within a 30-day
period after effecting the in
creases, for post approval.
