Show DO NOT DESTROY RATION BOOKS Keep your ration books in good repair, King Hendricks, OPA community service member, cautioned cau-tioned today, for after the red stamp series' is exhausted, green stamps will be designated for the fats and oils rationing program. "The green stamps are prefer- able to spares because they are more easily distinguishable from sugar stamps," he explained. Commenting on the future of rationing and price controls, the OPA representative said that ''at present" it appears both meats and shoes will be unrationed by the end of 1945. Fats and oils may be rationed into 1946, since the shortage is likely "to last that long. Sugar is "impossible to . predict." Tires still are scarce all over the nation, and it is unlikely that production will be great enough to ease the need for rationing before be-fore the first of the year.. Rent controls in crowded sections will continue for some time, he said. |
