Show Ration Stamp Changes Now Effective There have been several changes in ration stamps this week and housewives should take time out to become acquainted ac-quainted with the new dates and stamps. Stamp No. 29 in new war ration ra-tion book No. 4 became valid Monday. It will be good through January 15 for the purchase of 5 pounds of sugar. Because sugar stamps No. 15 and 16 for canning sugar became invalid October 31, the local rationing ra-tioning board is announcing that no more canning sugar will be issued. Green stamps A B and C, in book No. 4 became valid Monday, and remains good through December De-cember 20. They are used for canned, frozen, and certain dehydrated de-hydrated foods, jams, jellies, preserves and fruit butters. Stamp No. 18, in book No. 1, for one pair of shoes remains valid for an unannounced period of time. Stamp No. 1 on the "Airplane" sheet in book No. 4 became valid last Monday for the purchase of one pair of shoes. Chester Bowles, of the OPA, announced "The only reason for terminating the validity period of shoe stamps would be the problem of counterfeiting." He also said, "The purpose of rationing ra-tioning is to spread the limited supply. If people will spend their stamps for shoes when and if they need them, they can be confident there will be enough shoes on their dealers' shelves to meet all demands." |
