OPS Official Will Tackle Violators
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Several pointers on how homemakers and consumers can protect the household budget and make the wage dollar go farther in the battle against inflation are revealed by the Office of Price Stabilization. These suggestions, of importance to every family in the face of greater pressure against prices in coming months, can be used in the defense of every home budget, OPS said.
"Every consumer has the right to be sure she pay no more than legal ceiling prices and should ask to see the store's posted or listed ceiling prices if in doubt," the government agency pointed out. "Every homemaker should know that her government has not only established ceiling price regulations over a wide range of consumer needs but that the OPS is one means by which all consumers can act together to keep the value of their wage dollars by following easy, straightforward buying practices."
Key points in family buying policy are:
1. Pay no more than ceiling prices.
2. Buy wisely and only what you actually need.
3. Make things last longer. Many of the things we use have more life built into them than we are in the habit of getting out of them.
4. Save all you can. Every dollar you can save will help save the value of your wage dollars.
Meantime, to further strengthen the controls against the serious threats of more inflation, OPS is steadily increasing the number of regulations take the place of the general price freeze put into effect last January.
