Show THE SENTINEL. MIDVALE. UTAH Page Three Friday, Nov. 17, 1944 RA.TION POINTERS Application has been made by the Utah 0 P A to the regional office for an adjustment of prices of turkeys in Utah to enable farm- ers to ship birds within the state allowing them the same price they would get if they shipped to California markets. This does not mean that prices will be upped to meet the army quartermaster's pr~ce, but it does mean a~ allowance for freight differentials. Dollar-and-cent ceiling prices have been set for the early crop of 1945 white potatoes. Maximum prices fob country shipping point, per 100 pounds for US No 1 potatoes, graded, sacked and loaded on the carrier will vary froiD $3.95 for the beginning of the season to March 31, 1945~ to $2.80 for the period of June 1 to 30, 1945. Cost to the consumer will be the same as last season. The figures given are ' 1reflected" and not a guaranteed price based on an average farm return to the grower provided for in last year's ceilings. Restaurant operators have received word- from 0 P A on the price they may charge for holiday meals. If it was customary for a restaurant to charge higher prices on holidays such as Tbanksgi\"ing, Christmas or New Year's eve, they may continue to charge a higher price proViding it does not exceed more than 15 per cent of the price charged for Sunday d.inner during the base period of April 4 to 10, 1943. New Year's eve meals are priced on the basis of that charged New Year's eve, 1942, for meals, food items and beverages. Records or menus of 1942 New Year's eve prices must be kept available for inspection by OPA. The good ol' 5 cent cigar hasn't shown any signs of returning but there'll soon be 7¥.? cent cigars on the market, 0 P A tells us. Changes in pricing methods and ceiling prices designed to ihcrease production of lower-priced brands of domestic cigars went into effect Nov 13. Popular priced brands o.f cigars that normally sold for 5 and 6 cents have practically disappeared. As a result, smokers have been forced to purchase higher-priced cigars at 15 cents or over. The new action, permitting a price increase to 7% cents for a former 6 cent cigar, will enaQle manufacturers to return to makjng the lower priced articl~. The new price will handle all cost increases of cigar leaf, other material anct labor for all brands. Bureau of labor statistics, which surveys only one city in Utah, Salt Lake City, shows that food costs in that city have increased 0.3 per cent ,from August to September. As of September food costs in that city were 46.5 per cent above the 1939 average, but have risen only 1.2 per cent since September 1943. Eggrs were listed as 2.7 per cent higher than in August, and fats and oils were up 1 per cent. Dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, sugar and cereals had increases of less than 1 per cent. Processed fruits and vegetables, meats and dried fruits declined slightly, and beverages showed no change. Prices in Salt Lake City are representative of the rest of the state. ..... ............................................................................................ ,-·""""'""""'"'""""'"'''""'"'''-"'"'"' """"'-''''"''"''"~ : : ~l H !i li ~!
