Christmas Trees at Usual This Year

Santa Claus-and Young America-got a break when three governmental agencies ruled that no restrictions will be imposed this year upon the production, distribution and sale of Christmas trees.

ODT has directed, however, that box cars be furnished instead of gondolas and flat cars lor shipment of trees. Producers and distributors are requested also to exercise care to avoid unnecessary use of gasoline and rubber for truck transportation.

Although no restrictions have been applied to production and marketing of trees, the Lumber and Lumber Products Division of War Production Board urges that all producers of trees and ownel! of timber maintiin good forestry practice and avoid the employment of manpower that would otherwise be engaged in essential war work.

OPA has exempted Christmas trees from the maximum price regulations and other provisions of the general maximum price regulation. OPA asks, however, that prices be held at the level of last vear.
