Housewives and other consumers consum-ers will find little difficulty in using the stamps in book four. Except for color and size, the green stamps are similar to the blue stamps in book two. j Stamlps run in series designated I by letters. Each series of green 1 stamps contains four stamps with j a point value of 8, 5, 2 and 1,1 like the blue stamps of book two. i The new green stamps provide I each book-iholder with 48 points for the rationing period of one j mjonth, approximately, to buy processed pro-cessed foods, which is the same j number of points as in the past. ! Book four's green stamps will be used only until the new ration 1 "token" system goes into effect, ' probably early in 1944. At that! time, the red and blue stamps in book four will be put into use for buying rationed foods. These red and blue stamps should be kept intact until they become valid. j The distribution of book four to ' Milford people has been conducted conduct-ed at the elementary school under the direction of Miss Helen Smith, clerk of the Milford ration board, and C.
