Show Tillie Winsor Explains Use of New Tokens Four simple rules for the use of the new ration token change after February 27 are given by Tillie Winsor, community service member mem-ber of the St. George war price and rationing board: First, remember that all red and all blue stamps in ration book four will have a change in value. They will be worth ten points, rather than the 8, 5, 2 and 1 points marked on their face. Second, tokens will all have a value of one point and no expiration expir-ation date. Third, red tokens will be given as change for red or meats-fats (Continued on page six) New Tax Tokens (Continued from first page) stamps; and blue tokens for blue or processed foods stamps. Fourth, green stamps K, L and M in ration book four and red stamps Y and Z in book three will be valid until Mar. 20. Their value will be unchanged. Use these first. Then when Stamps Y and Z are used up, all shopping for food can: be done with one ration book, number four. Tokens can be given as change for these stamps, blue tokens for green stamps and red tokens for red stamps. "Suppose you buy meats-fats valued at 17 points," said the board member. "You will tear out, across, not down the page, the A8 and the B8 red stamps worth 20 points. In return, the merchant will give you three red tokens. The next day, if you want a pound of lard, use the three tokens. Blue tokens will be used in exactly the same manner. At no time, will it be necessary for a shopper to take more than nine tokens. "And give your friend the merchant a lift. Be courteous and do your part. Figure out your own, points and tear out the correct cor-rect number of stamps. Don't throw the book at the merchant, and ask him to do the work you should do." |
