Fig was put to death yesterday in the gas chamber at the dog pound. His last meal, before he inhaled the cyanide fumes, was a turkey dinner. “I hated to agree to let him be executed,” Lund said, “but I guess it was best.” Fig attacked the child suddenly while they were playing together 11 days ago, and sunk his teeth into her throat.

Today, the Office of Price Administration, with the unselfish cooperation of the nation’s retailers, imposes price controls or “ceilings.” They insure fairer, lower prices, enhance public confidence and help win the greatest struggle on the home front—the battle against inflation. This is a most difficult job and should have the wholehearted cooperation from the entire nation. When you compare today's prices with rises which were common in World War I, you'll find new reason for encouragement and hope—and victory.
