'.VAR PRIG" & LOCAL RATIONING
BOARD
BY KLAIR2 2. JOHNSON, Clerk
Calling upon all consumers of commodi
ties and services to be vigilant in the
matter of checking on prices, Mrs. Mildred
Herman, Alaska Director of the OPA in a
radio address pointed out that the en
forcement of the Price Control Act will
be greatly simplified if every Oonsuaer
does his part toward keeping prices at an
even keel.
"Be pric* conscious," she said."Study
your prices from month to month. Our
prices should now be fairly well stabil
ised. They should not rise higher save
on certain excepted items, and when Con
gress finishes its task of passing the
Anti-Inflation Bill there should be no
excepted it^mc. Consumers must expect
prices to be higher than they wero during
the weeks beforo Pearl Harbor, but thoy
should not go appreciably higher than
thoy are now. In fact thoy should go
down. If consumers thruout the Terri
tory would form the habit of listing the
price of merchandise they buy oach'month
and comparing these prices with subse
quent purchases, thoy would have an easy
check on whether or not their morchants
are reining pric*?,
"Consuarre should also pay close atten ■
tion to coiling nesting. Under the pres ■
ont regulations every merchant selling
eost-of-living commodities is required to
post his ceilings on those items in his
store. The ceiling may be written on
the article its-lf, on the bin or shelf
which contains it, or a poster of pricoe
may be placed conspicuously in the store.
The main ooint to be emphasised is that
tho prices should bo posted so conspicu
ously that they catch the cyo of tho cus
tomer even when ho is not looking for
thorn, Thi3 is what is knovm as "r.ya
teot", and. simply means that the prices
should be visible at tho point of pur
chase and no consumer should havo to look
for thera.H
