At a joint meeting of War Ration-

bers of the local price panel, and
prospective price panel assistants,
with Arthur Jones, price executive
from the Willlamsport district of-
fice, plans were made for an active
campaign to bring about better com

OPA regulations in this area.
The meeting was held Tuesday
night at
West High street,
At the session it was pointed out
that OPA regulations, contrary to a
belief held in some quarters, are not
imposed to work a
any merchant, or upon the public
The one and only reason for the
program is to assure a fair distribu-

violators of OPA regulations have
been entered and other complaints

“Some of the other well represents
ed races in India are the Sikhs, the
Parsees, and the OCurkhas. These
are very interesting but it would take
too long to tell you about them at
this time
Now, I will take a little time to
tell you about some of the peculiar
characteristics of India. The first of
these | the sacred cow. In America,
the term sacred cow is more or less
of a joke, but in India it is no joking
matter. The cow and bull are both
ancred to the Hindus and no Hindus
would ever dream of killing a cow
India is literally full of cows, you
see then wandering everywhere
They wander unmolested on the
roads and streets and through the
public square in towns. In some
parts of India the penalty for kill-
ing a cow even by accident, may be
as much as seven years in jall. Mon-
keys and peacocks are also sacred
“Another thing well wérth speak-
ing about is shopping in India. A
small storekeeper or trader at a ba-
zaar in most cases will ask you more
for his goods than he expects to get
It is a kind of game and he =3pects
you to bargain with him. He gx-
pects to be beaten down anywhere |
from two-thirds to one-third of his
original price. Everyone bargains,
that is everyone but the American
soldier, who hasn't learned the game
yet and who consequently gets play
ed for a sucker :
Another important subject is beg-
gars. In India there are more beg-
gars with more pitiful faces and
misshapen bodies than at any other
place in the world. If you give one
of them, the next thing you know
you have a dozen of them gathered
around you who follow you wherever
you go. I have found this out from
experience. !
“What I have said about India in|
| the preceding pages consists more or |
less of generalizations. You under-'
stand that I can't tell you about any
specific section of the country as this
may tend to disclose military infor.
