C. of C. Makes Recommendations To Change System of Price Control At a meeting of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce early this week recommendations were drafted calling for changes in the price control system which would stabilize prices, prevent inflation and eliminate the friction and confusion that now prevails. The letter was dispatched to Senator Hiram Johnson, Senator Sheridan Downey, Congressman John Phillips, Congressman Joseph W. Martin of Mass., and James C. Ingebretsen, director of governmental affairs, U. S. Chamber of Commerce. Following is the text of the letter: The board of directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, realizing that a system of Government Price Control, as a war measure is necessary for the purpose of stabilizing prices and preventing the development of disasterous inflation, appointed a special committee from its retail division to study the problem and suggest needed changes in the present act. That committee has made the following suggestions which have been adopted by the board of directors. It is our hope that these suggestions will be given consideration so that the national economy may be pre- the administration of the price control act. 3. Make clear that the primary and paramount purpose of the price control act is to control prices and not regulate profits. 4. Provide safeguards to prevent the administrators of the act from using its provisions to bring about changes in established business practice either directly or indirectly. 5. Establish controls at both the distributive and wholesale levels which will allow merchants to add to the cost of merchandise their established percentages of mark-up in order that they may maintain their business existence. 6. Provide that in all price controls, full account should be taken of changes in labor, material and other costs. 7. Provide that local price and control panels have authority to make adjustments in price and rationing regulations to relieve hardships created by local conditions. 8. Provide that an advisory panel made up of local business people be empowered to formulate rules for local price regulation. 9. Provide for the abolition of price line limitation. RECOMMEND: 1. The enactment of a new price control act (not an amendment of the present law) that will clearly state the true intent of congress so that friction and confusion may be avoided and more complete compliance be secured and which will; 2. Provide for appeal to the Federal courts by all parties from rulings, decisions, opinions and directives of any person, persons, bodies, committees or commissions in any way connected with Garden and Flower Seeds to American Prisoners of War American prisoners of war behind the German lines soon will be enjoying fresh vegetables—and flowers, too—like those at home, it was reported today by Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. To make this possible, the War Food Administration recently purchased about 15,000 pounds of vegetable and flower seeds for distribution by the American Red Cross. The seeds are going abroad in some 4,000 collections designed to provide food this summer for American boys in German prison camps. Each collection contains a total of 3 to 4 pounds of seed—18 to 20 kinds—in small packets ranging from a fraction of an ounce to a pound. Directions for cultivating are printed on the packets in both English and German. ANAHEIM PHYSICAN BUYS ORANGE GROVE Dr. Arthur C.

The local veterans department is headed by Dale Winterbourne, Veteran of World War I, and includes an interviewer trained in the job placement of handicapped or physically impaired persons. This service, authorized by an act of Congress, is furnished free to all veterans of all United States wars and is designed to eliminate confusion and tiresome tramping of the streets in search of a job or a proper agency to handle the veteran's particular problem. "One-Stop Service," said Mathewson, means that either the United Employment Service helps the veteran regain his old employment or find a suitable new job, or, if further assistance is necessary, he is referred to skilled counsellors who are veterans themselves. They assist him in preliminary aid in job placement, rehabilitation, training, emergency financial aid and information about other organizations and services which can help him. Information about these special services offered to veterans may be had during the regular office hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, at the United States Employment Service office, 501 West Fifth street, Santa Ana. Sarah Jane Henry, Garden Grove, Dies Anaheim Druggists Help Raise Quota For 'Morey Train' Anaheim Druggists Help Raise Quota For ‘Mercy Train’ Druggists of Southern California are being congratulated by the Treasury War Finance committee for having exceeded their million-dollar quota in a special War Bond drive during the month of April. The campaign, which had as its objective the financing of a modern Army “mercy train” for transporting wounded war veterans to hospitals, was termed an "outstanding success." Frank E. Mortenson, executive secretary of the Southern California Retail Druggists' Association, who directed the drive, said that sales reports still are coming and that the total probably will reach $1,500,000. Cooperation of local war Finance Committees with the druggists was an important factor in the drive's success, Mortenson pointed out. He also praised the Bond buying patrons of the drug stores for their wholehearted support of the campaign. Santa Barbara was credited with the best sales record, having tripled its quota. Riverside was second and Bakersfield, third. Pasadena ranked first in sales in Los Angeles county. First place for E Bond sales by an individual store went to Webster Drug Co., of Altadena, which turned in 115 separate sales for a total of $30,000. Owl Drug Co. led among chain stores with $106,000 in Bond sales. Thrifty was second with a total of $72,000.
