OPS PRICING CHAIITS
SET FOR MAY 30
Most retailers in Plumes coun-
ty must file list date pricing
charts with the Office of Price

businessman who has any doubt
that he must comply with ceiling
price regulation 7 of the UPS is
urged to get in touch right away
• . I .
with the OS dstmct office at
1475 Wells Avenue. Reno, Nevada.
Many store owners, Rahy J.

are the first important step to
legal compliance with ceiling price
regulation' 7 under which they
soon must begin to sell. All re-
tailers in this are are urged to
ask the UPS district office for
all the information and assistance
they may need to be sure they

FAREWELL PARTY FOR
"HELLO GIRL" TURN8
INTO TELEPHONE BEE
With relief help operating
local telephone office, an all-out
telephone party was enjoyed last
Thursday night at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rahn, when
what was to have been a farewell
party developed into a "hello
girls" get-together.
Present at-the affair were Jus-
tine Deal, Gladys Swindlehurst
Gwen Rahn, Betty Milton, Norms
Jean Glenn, Bob Campodonico and
Mr. and Mrs. "Bud" Welsh and
his mother.
"Frenchy" Paulian of Stockton
was a business visitor in Green-
ville this week,
been purchased for use in school
cafeterias, and Harmer said.
"They've been put into schoolt
and are in use in some cafeterias."
He said each machine was a com-
bined adding machine and cash
register. He read from a small
book excerpts having to do with
operation of schools in Los An-
geles County and recommeiding
cash registers be installed there.
His implication was that that
proved cash registers should be
used in Plumes County.
Most of thoe prese ed
slent or dismweed matters not
bearing directly on administrative
personnel. However one Keddie
woman in discussing the unified
school district, which has been in
existence some two years, drop-
)ed the remark that the district
had started "under unfortunate
administrative circumstances." A
Portola woman said she had tele-
phoned the district administrative
office in Quincy about a problem
and "I didn't get any satisfaction
from Mr. Harmer."
Rodney Alden, publisher of the
Feather River Bulletin. charged
that the district school superin-
tendent:
Pursued an attitude and a policy
of running the school district as
if he owned it, rather than as if
the publc owned it; and
Followed a policy of sending
business out of the community,
to the community's detriment.
He cited a statement he said
Harmer had made to him to the
effect it was not valid news how
a Main Street merchant operated
his ,business and spent his money,
and by the same token it was not
legitimate business how the school
district's business was operated
and money spenL Harmer said
h.ts quoted remark had been "tak-
en out of ¢mtext" and did not]
fairly re0resent his views; ,aJden I
subsequently reiterated his con-]
viction that the remark did illus- I
trate Harmer's attitude, ]
Alden cited the case of the lo-
cal photographer who operated in
Quincy up to about four years
ago and who he said was denied
the Quincy high school business
as a result of Harmer's policies,
Harmer at that time being high
School principal. Alden charged
that as a result of this the pho-
tographer had to go out of bus-
iness here, with resulting injury
to the community.
Defense Of the picture deal was
offered by H. L. Nichols, faculty
advisor for the 'high schoOl an-
null, on the basis, that-students
had been responsible for it. "I
don't like this runaround routine,"
Alden said. "If a matter of school
tdministration is good, then th(
dministration accepts responsi-
bility; if it is a stench in the nos-
trils of the community, then a
;ouple of other fellows are tc
blame." Alden also quoted Harmer
as once 'having said the plea oi

lishments for school printing busi.

paing establishment is "Just po.

deny having made fl',..is statement.
