Show EXPIRATION DATES OF RATION STAMPS REMOVED As a means of avoiding a growing grow-ing practice of converting food stamps Into ration tokens, and eliminating clerical and shopping problems, the Office of Price Administration Ad-ministration has removed the expiration ex-piration dates for all red and blue ration coupons. There will be no change in the rate at which stamps will become valid: Three red stamps for meats and fats will become valid every second Sunday, and five blue stamps for canned foods on the first of every month. The stamps will have no expiration date which should result In more normal buying prac- Uces and avoid the rush to spend stamps before the expiration date, which has resulted In some hoard- Ing, in wasteful buying and deplet- j ed stock shelves. |
