Boarding House Owners Must

File Prices

CAMDEN' — Boarding houses, private dabs, tourist and summer camps and college' residential halls and fraternity and sorority houses are required to file their meal and drink prices with the Office of Price Administration, as well as resturants, taverns, soda fountains and hotels. This was emphasised by the Camden OPA District Office as the May 1 deadline for filing approached, because, despite the fact that local war price and rationing boards have been flooded with menus and price lista, there * seemed to be some confusion as to whether the boarding houses, dubs and camps were covered by OPA's order of April 12. Cetters to proprietors of boarding houses, tourist and summer camps in the area under the jurisdiction of the Cape May War Price and Rationing Board, urging them to file the information immediately in order to qualify for new rations, were mailed this week. This order, in line with President Roosevelt s mandate to extend ceiling prices on cost-of-living items, requiring that all those who seme meals report by May 1, 1948, the prices they charged for meals and drinks for the base period April 4 to 10 1948, to their war price and rationing boards. It further authorises regional offices of the OPA, when they find it necessary, to “freeze” prices at the levels of April 4 to 10, or to roll them

back.

-Boarding houses, residential dubs, camps, dormitories, sororities and fraternities are given three procedures for determining their meal prices where meals are

charged for separately.

First, those' which filed rental charges under the rent registration program will arrive at their

Necessary Calls Only, ’Phene Company Asks The New Jersey Bell Telephone Company appealed again today to telephone users to aid the war effort by staying off long distance lines to centers of military, governmental and industrial activity unless their calls are ab-

solutely necessary.

“Circuits to war-busy areas have . become so crowded." the company reported, “that delays on calls are more and more frequent. Keeping pace with the growth by adding more lines is out of the question because of lack of materials. The best way to make room for the rising volume of war messages everyone to avoid unnecessary calls and to be brief when mak-

i growth of calling is particalarly great to points in the south and midwest, the lines to Dayton, Ohio, right now being especially busy. Long distance calls from New Jersey to Norfolk, Va. have more than doubled in a year, and are over five times as many as two years ago; Atlanta calls are up 75 per cent ever a year ago; Richmond, Va., calls more than 80 per cent; calls to Washington, St. Louis and Cleveland over 50 per cent. These figures should be considered in the light of the fact that last

“More than 1.500,000 long distance connections were completed for New Jersey telephone users hi the first three months of this year, nearly half a million more than in the first quarter of 1942, end over double the number in the first quarter of 1941. “Telephones in service in New

ON ASPARAGUS

Our Garden State asparagus is a delicacy on anybody's table, winter or summer, and adds color and variety * to meal planning. Home canned asparagus is an accomplishment many home .makers have been very successful in achieving, although it is not quite as easy as some other products. With all such non-acid vegetables directions must

be followed closely, -and canning should be done as soon as possible after the asparagus is brought in from the garden. The home canned product may be slightly softer than that which is commercially packed, but it is excellent creamed, for soups, or other special treats during tbe long winter months. *

Our booklet "Plan to Can It" will give yo directions for home canning, and is available a

naarett Jersey Central office.
