fiei! Miller Says
Many Businessmen
Are OPS Delinquents
Many business men are still de
linquent in filing and other re
quirements of Office of Price Sta
oilization regulations, Neil S.
Miller, Anchorage branch man
ager, said today.
Miller said most of those de
inquent are in the service trades.
4.11 businesses which sell a ser
vice at retail are required to file
a list of their ceiling prices with
:he O.P.S. Deadline for filing was
September 25. Businesses in this
:ategory would be laundries,
cleaners, garages, repair shops ox
xll kinds and other similar sellers.
Barbers and beauty shops are ex
empt, however.
Filings may be made either at
:he Anchorage office in the Peari
Building. Box 1056, or sent to the
Dffice of Price Stabilization, Box
„-M81, Juneau.
Ceiling prices filed must be
those that prevailed during the
aase period December 19-January
26, last. Service sellers who in
:reased prices since the base pe
riod did so illegally, Miller said.
In addition to filing their ceil
ng prices with the O.P.S., service
sellers also must conspicuously
post their prices in their places
af business.
Turning to retail businesses,
Miller reminded that all merchan
dise shipped in from outside the
Territory for resale must be tag
ged or marked with the selling
price. Marking of bins or trays
containing merchandise will be
sufficient. Miller said. All retail
merchants who wish to change
from the dollar-and-cent to a per
centage pricing system must first
notify the O.P.S- Miller pointed
out.
NO INCREASE ON
STAMPS—YET
Rumors to the contrary, local
customers of the U. S. Post Of
* fice were still purchasing today
air mail stamps at six cents and
regular first class mail stamps for
three.
Mrs. Beatrice Huntley, local
postmistress, said that no orders
had been received here regarding
the publicized increases on first
and second class mail. With luck,
Stateside Christmas cards might
still go at the present rates.
Parcel post rates went up the
first of October, and local cus
j tomers sending parcels Outside
have learned that it now costs
forty centy for v. hat used to go
for thirty.

Plan Junior Red Gross
Course for Students
The Red Cross, as a part of th<
Civil Defense program, has insti
tuted a junior First Aid course
for boys and girls of high school
age. according to a news release
from the department of Civil De
fense.
Should an enemy attack during
daylight hours, it is very probably
that our schools will be filled
with children. First Aid may be
come a necessity so it is desirable
to have as many trained young
people as possible on hand who
will be able to cope with the situ
ation.
“The Department of Education
approves 100% of Civil Defense
and Red Cross training and will
cooperate to the fullest extent.”
Everett Erickson. Commissioner
of Education said in sanctioning
the idea.
Teachers and parents alike
should make every effort to stress'
to the teen-agers the very im
portance of this training. Classes
will be held at such times so as
not to interfere with regulai
school work.
A list of volunteer students
should be submitted to the local
Civil Defense director who will
make the necessary arrangements
with Red Cross.
Age limit for junior first aid is
13 to 17 years. Should there be
any students over that age, they
may apply for the regular Red
Cross or home nursing course.

SOMETHING'S SACRED
Juneau—The Office of Price
Stabilization today amended the
General Ceiling Price Regulation.
OCPR, specifically exempting
Christmas trees from price con
trol.
| In issuing this exemption, OPS
noted that like the other exempt
products, Christmas trees have
certain characteristics which
make the application of ceiling
prices frozen at base period lev
els inequitable or impracticable. 1
