Awards Made to Scott County Volunteer Ration Service Workers
Special awards and pins were presented to Scott County War Price and Rationing Board members and Scott County Price Panel members at a merchants meeting in Sikeston Public Library. George Vogel of St. Louis OPA led the ceremony. C. H. Butler presided. Recipients included G. J. Slickman, J. R. Stephens, Ranger Baker, Claude Jameson, C. H. Denman, J. E. Harper, Fred Craig, and Arthur Free, with future awards for other panel members and helpers who aided in rationing sugar last summer. The speech by Wm. H. Bryan outlined wartime price control and local board origins, praising volunteers and stressing continued vigilance in rationing, price control, and preventing black markets.
