Thats something everyone of us should think about when we postpone writing a letter to a soldier because we want to go to a picture show, or because we want to listen to a radio program or because we dont happen to feel in the mood for writing a letter. Writing letters to soldiers is something which everyone of us can do toward helping to win the war. It is a little thing to us but it is so important to the men in the field that the army sees to it that mail is delivered even during the most heated battles. The one thing every soldiefr wants is to get this war over with, and to returnbome., Butnn-ti- l that happy day arrives, the closest he can come to it is to get personal letters from the people who are home letting him know that they are thinking of him and praying for him.

Expiration dates for all red and blue ration coupons were removed, effective immediately, by the office of price administration, in an effort to eliminate clerical and shopping problems. Ibis was part of a broad program to simplify rationing for the countrys food retailers and housewives. , OPA had removed expiration dates from shoe coupons and sugar stamps. Local stores report that many housewives descend on their stores in last-hopanic to cash in stamps which otherwise would expire. This has resulted in some food hoarding and depleted store shelves. Officials also state that they hope the order would curb a growing practice of converting food stamps into ration tokens which are valid for an indefinite period. There will no change in the rate at which stamps become valid: Three red stamps for meat and fats will become valid every second Sunday, and five blue stamps for canned foods on the first of every month. Each stamp is valued at 10 points. There is not any change in the point value of butter. nt Through the fine efforts of Mrs. B. E. Mix, vice president of the Utah State Safety Council and chairman of the local council, loads of gravel were placed along sidewalks in east Magna, extending from the Pleasant Green ward to the Magna business section this week.
