Warns Restaurants On Ceiling Prices Proprietors of restaurants and other eating and drinking places that have just opened or are about to open for the summer aeaaon were reminded today by T. Harold Dempsey, district OPA director, that they must file price schedules with their local War Price and Rationing Boards as directed by the recent order of National Administrator Prentiss M. Brown. A true copy of each menu, bill of fare or other price list of food Hams, including beverages, used in a newly opened place, must be filed, Dempsey said. “If prices are excessively high the OPA is authorised to take steps to bring about their reducwen.” Dempsey pointed out. “This applies to all restaurants and similar establishments of every kind serving food and drink for consumption on the premises. "It is realised the temptation to boost prices to ac abnormally high level may be strong in resort areas where the business seaaoo it short, and an especially do#* watch will be kept on the trend of restaurant prices in those area*." he warned.

Magee Lashes

At Violators

TRENTON—Despite the wartime necessity for greater highway safety, 20,260 motorists were arrested for traffic law violations and 26S persons were killed accidents during the first five months of the year, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee announced today. During the same period, 4,929 operators had their driving privileges voked, on a ratio of one in e

four drivers arrested.

This year's fatalities compare with 48 in the same period last year, a reduction of 85, or 24

per cent. ~

The situation, in the opinion «f Mr. Magee, is far from satisfac-

even patriotic, let alone

humanitarian motives can induce a certain class of drivers to drive with the care and caution the law expects of every man and woman entrusted with a driver’s license," he said. “The only thing they respect is rigid enforcement, otherwise why should there be 7,660 arrests for speeding in a five-month period in which the federal government fixed 35 miles an hour as the top speed most conducive to car, tire and gaso-

line conservation?"

Commissioner Magee views healthy sign the high ratio of license revocations and adds that from all parts of the state come reports of steeper fines being imposed by magistrattes. He deplored the once common practice of two-dollar- fines or suspended sentences for flagrant traffic violations and added that long years of observation show that these token penalties ofttimes have the same effect in undermining highway safety programs as the vicious practice of ticket killing. driver is adequately punished for his first wanton transgression, he is likely to think twice before taking chances in the future,” said the commission-

new system speeds up the

separation of mail for distribution to branch offices and permits much more rapid handling of mail by inexperienced postal clerks, thousands of whom have been employed to replace personnel who have gone into the armed forces and into war industries.

An example of the new type

of address is:

"John C. Smith, 222 Mattapan Ave., Boston 8, Massachusetts.” The number after the name of the city indicates the branch post office through which delivery is made. Each resident of large cities is asked by his postmaster *- add the postal unit number his return address, and to notify all to whom be writes that his addroas is not complete without the number. Resiflenta of small cities, towns' and rural regions should inquire of their correspondents in large cities concerning the number assigned to the city resident’s branch post' office so that the mail may be expedited.
