C., April 19.— (NWNS)—Ever since the Presi dent issued his order freezing prices and wages, the number of interpretations of that order and regulations resulting from it have come so thick and fast that it is almost impossible to keep up with them. But out of the confusion, these facts are clear: (1) ceiling prices will be set on practically all food products and other necessities and the ceilings will, in general, tend to reduce the present cost of liv- .ing. Ceilings already set on meat, for example, are considerably low er than the prices most of us have been paying. (2) No further increases in 'Wages will be permitted except where necessary to take care of • those who are now earning defi nitely sub-standard wages. The only exceptions are cases of pro motions or cases where regular periodic raises have been give^ in the past. (3) No one will be permitted to change jobs in order to g^j; higher pay. (4) Freight rates and costs of transportation on all forms of carriers cannot be increased and efforts will be made to reduce such rates. There arc loopholes in the President’s order which various groups will try to take advantage of and not until a number of trial cases have been ruled upon will we know just how stringently the order will be followed. • There are many here who feel that the wage-freezing order was issued at this time as an answer 0 to John L. Lewis and other union leaders who are seeking higher pay for > their members. But Mr. Lewis decided that the “sub standard” loophole in the Presi- SHINGTON dent’s order applied to the miners and therefore continued his demand for a $2-a-day in crease. Mr. Lewis also pointed out that miners could earn more money without an hourly in crease in' wages if an agreement was made to pay the men for all the time they spend ih the mines rather than just the time they spend working in the coal vein to which they are assigned. Senator Bankhead, who hoped to persuade congress to override the President’s veto of his bill to revise the parity formula to as sure greater income to farmers, is nqw waiting to see what will happen in cases of union de mands for higher wages for labor. If the government gives in to the demands of Mr. Lewis or other union heads, then Senator Bank- head will have a strong argument for getting more money for farm ers. Both ©emocrats and Republi cans agree that the new presi dential ruling can do much to prevent inflation if it is properly enforced. The enforcement of it is in the hands of a* number ^f government agencies. The ‘Na tional War Labor board will be largely responsible for the freez ing of wages, arid will be assisted by the department of internal revenue; the Office of Price Ad- ministratiofi working with the new food administrator, Chester Davis, will control prices, and James F. Byrnes, economic stabilization di rector, will be in general charge of the overall program. It is generally agreed by ex perts that if this program can be carried out as planned the only other necessary step to prevent inflation and discourage black markets will be to get excess in come of the people into the HOLLMD1HEA1HE McCORMICK, S.

T^mie SundPrs, ehairman of the McCormick County War Bond Drive, is encouraged over the re ports coming in during the last few days. It seems that people are "realizing what a small part they are asked to have in lending their money to the government when our boys are out on the battle fronts giving their lives. Surely there won’t be a person in McCormick County so unwise and unlucky when this war is over as not to have bonds to fall back on; surely, there won’t be a per son so selfish and unpatriotic as to face the shame of not having had a part in this struggle to set men free.

County Keeping Up Its Buying Of War Bonds The purchasing of war bond* continues in McCormick County at a good rate, figures made pub lic this week by the County War Savings Committee for the firaflfc three months of the year disclose. These figures show that pur chases in the county in the months of January, February and March amounted to $24,000.00. From Columbia comes word that the continued response of the people of the county to the war bond call is highly gratifying t» W. P. Bowers, state bond admini strator, and James H. HammonC. chairman of the State War Szf- ings Committee. They point out that the first quarter of the year was one S» which citizens were called upon to pay the heaviest federal In come taxes in history, and that it was another demonstration off South Carolina patriotism that they maintained their purchasing of bonds in spite of the heavy toll taken by taxes. The aggregate purchases of bonds in the entire state of South Carolina for the first three months of the year amounted to $13,672,000, or $772,000 in excess of the combined monthly quotas of $12,900,000 for those three months. Purchases in McCormick Coun ty in the first three months of the year were as follows: January, $12,468.75, February, $4,162.50, March, $7,368.75. X Sandy Branch H. D. Club Meets The Sandy Branch H.
