It was said that salad and cook ing oils are normally a slow moving item but that the scarcity of the more popular vegetable shortenings increased demand for the oils.

Ail these commodities will go back on sale Monday morning at two red points per pound, the OPA announced. At the same time the War Food! Administration ordered 40 per cent or the total lard production set aside to meet military needs. The freeze was explained by OPA officials as conserving short supplies on retailers' shelves "while all consumers and levels of distribution are fully informed regarding the new point values, and to per mit dealers to take inventory of supplies in an orderly fashion The prospective supply of lard for the next several months is exoeeted to be considerablv under production during the same period of 1944, OPA 'said.
