INDIANA ROOFING & SIDING CORP.

The government has called upon the largest long-distance moving company in the world —Allied Van Lines, Inc.—to do a major part of the moving for several government agencies from war-crowded Washington. The securities and exchange commission was moved to Philadelphia, the wage-hour division of the labor department to New York and other agencies to Chicago and St. Louis. Such an assignment is gratifying to Mrs. Shank inasmuch as the Shank Fireproof Warehouse Co. at 1430 N. Illinois st. here is part owner of Allied Vans. Mrs. Shank said the Allied moving concern, which has a fleet of 1,500 trucks, is sefting new records in its field, not only because of its work for the government but also because the war has caused so many thousands of

families to move to new locations, + either because members have joined the armed forces or because war work demands have

caused them to move. The Shank company, through the Allied Vans, is able to handle all arrangements for moving household goods from one city to another, not only to or from Indianapolis. For example, a family that had been living in Los Angeles and moved to Indianapolis, wanted their goods sent to New York because they were to be transferred there. Shank handled all of the work, relieving the family of much worry of packing, moving and storing. In its big steel and concrete warehouse, Shank is now storing the belongings of many families “for the duration.” Rugs, draperies and upholstered pieces are first placed in a vault of lamin-

ated metal. Lethal gas ‘in injected into the vault, killing moths and eggs, without injury to fabrics. Overstuffed furniture then is wrapped in heavy kraft paper and sealed, numbered and placed on metal racks in a department used ouly for that furniture. Rugs are wrapped and put in burglarproof, mothproof vaults with combination locked metal doors. Draperies are placed in large paper bags and hung upright in a special vault, as clothes are placed in a closet. There is also a special room for storing pianos with year-round even temperature. Such services relieve families of worry at a time when there is so much else to do, Mrs. Shank pointed out. “We try to do our part by being housekeepers for the duration, because furniture warehousing is really glorifi housekeeping.

FROZEN FOOD PRIGES MAY BE INGREASED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 (U. P.).— Wholesalers and retailers of the 1942 frozen fruit, berry and vegetable pack will be permitted to

pass on to the consumer the exact amount, “and no more,” by which the packers’ maximum prices were raised recently to meet increased raw material and other costs since last year, Price Administrator Leon Henderson announced today. Mr. Henderson said that the new regulation becomes effective immediately and that every wholesaler must inform the retailer as to the exact amount he may add to his March ceiling price on each item. This notification must be sent to the retailer at the time, or before, the wholesaler makes his first shipment of the 1942 pack. Increased in the retail prices on these frozen products are estimated at ‘around 15 per cent by OPA, which ordered wholesalers and retallers to preserve all records connected with the change in prices. Wholesalers also were directed to file with the nearest OPA district, state or regional office withing 30 days a statement giving their base prices, new maximum prices and permitted increases.

U.S. to Purchase Qil-Bearing Crops

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (U. PJ. —Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard today announced approval by President Roosevelt of an overall program involving prices, marketing and processing of this year’s crop of soybeans, peanuts, cottonseed and flaxseed. The program, to be administered by the Commodity Credit Corp. is designed to protect prices to farmers, to implement price supports announced by Mr. Wickard last winter as an inducement to farmers to boost production of oil crops, and to preserve office of price administration ceiling prices on vegetable oil products. Mr. Wickard said that farmers responded heartily to the support price program and that per acre yields of peanuts, soybeans, flaxseed and cottonseed this year will be close to high records of recent years. Under the program, the Commodity Credit Corp. is authorized to buy and resell vegetable oilseeds and oilseed products through contracts with processors, refiners and bleachers who agree to pay not less than specified prices for oil crops, crude oil and linters. :

4000 HEAVY TRUGKS 0. K.'D FOR CIVILIANS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (U. P). —Authorization to produce 41,000 heavy trucks between now and the end of 1942 to replace vehicles withdrawn from the civilian stock pile by the army, navy and lend-lease administration since June 1 was granted today to 15 automotive manufacturers by the war production hoard.

WHEAT PAYMENTS NOT TO BE GHANGED

Those farmers who underplant 1943 wheat acreage allotments under the AAA farm program to

increase production of special war crops will be eligible for the entire wheat allotment payments, the Indiana AAA announced today. The AAA program next year aims at greater production of soybeans, tomatoes, peas and other crops. With more than a two-year's supply of wheat on hand, L. M. Vogler, state AAA head, said such a division is needed. “Underplanting of wheat allotments will not affect a farmer's record as a wheat producer,” Mr. Vogler said. “However, underplanting does not mean that a farmer may discontinue growing wheat entirely to come within the new provision. The AAA act provides that a farm is considered a wheat farm as long as it produces wheat. When production of wheat is discontinued for a period of three years, it is no longer considered a wheat producing farm.”

U. S. TO PURCHASE OILS FROM BRAZIL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (U. PJ). —The state department today announced details of an agreement with Brazil for purchase by the Commodity Credit Corp. of the entire exportable surplus of Brazilian babassu and castor oil. The oil stocks will replace tung and coconut oil formerly imporied from the southwest Pacific. The agreement provides that if shipping is not available within 60 days after the stocks are offered for: sale the CCC will pay the agreed prices and store the oil in

warehouses. i 3
