I Coal Prices i 1 i Go jllp About; 15 Cents a Ton il i Approves, Says Increase Is Necessary A jump in hard coal prices which will mean a 15-cent-a-ton increase for most Pittsfield buyers, was announced last night by the OP A. Jt is effective today. The 15-cent boost allowed producers in one group will bring the local price of egg, stove and nut coal to $17.29 a ton and pea coal to J15J4; a 10-cent rise in buck will spring that price to a five-cent rise In rice will lift that ceiling to $12.09. These price rises have been allowed producers whose product is purchased by approximately 90 per cent of local buyers.

With the scarcity of coil as yet unrelieved, most Pittsfield dealers sell at, rather than betSw, ceiling prices. The price boost is necessary, OPA said, to provide the industry the equivalent of its 1942 profit margin, which was 19.9 cents a ton. The increases are calculated to -cover the operating period through April 30, 1946. An average increase of 75 cents a ton was put into effect last June to compensate for wage increases granted the miners under their present contract.

S. boy, now serving with the occupation forces of the Army in Japan, who recalled a visit to his home when I was a kidVand the going waa tough.

The writer wrote feelingly of hip reaction to a visit Santa made to his home with gifts purchased by The Eagles Santa Toy Fund. When 1 was a kid in Pittsfield, wrote the soldier, "I remember one year things were so tough around Christmas time that 1 spent most of the days before the holiday picking up wooden boxes, pieces of lumber and sticks of wood where-ever I could find them to keep our house warm. My father was out of a job and we had three kids in the family. We had too much pride to apply to the Welfare Department for aid so we did the best we could, hoping Dad would get a break on a job. Christmas Eve came and he was still out of work.

Some organization sent a big basket of fruit; another sent a turkey all cooked with all the fixings and we jumped with joy. We went to bed that night, looking forward to a big Christmas dinner. At 6 in the morning we were awakened by a rap on the door. No one was in sight but we found on the doorstep a big sack which we lugged into the house. It waa filled with toys, mittens, sweaters and some candy.

The card merely said Merry Christmas. While we never knew who sent the gift, I always had a sneaking suspicion that it came from The Eagles Santa Toy Fund. I wanted to tell you about this-, because out hero we have plenty of time to think about home, and our thoughts always go back to the days when the going was rough. When I get paid next week I will send a small contribution with the hope that your visit to our house may be repeated to some other family's house in Pittsfield so theyll know how it feels not to be forgotten. Santa remembered the visit to that soldiers home.

He hoped the public would Remember too.
