New Ration Cards
To Be ksued To
Small Consumers
WASHINGTON — Household
ers whose fuel oil heating is
ration is 200 gallons or less ,i
year — an amount most com
mon among those who heat by
stoves — will receive ration cou
pons redeemable any time dur
ing the year rather than cou
pons segregated into “heatin:»
periods,” the Office of Price
Administration announced today.
The new policy regarding the
issuing of rations for 200 gallons
or less means householders will
receive class 3 coupons of defin
ite gallonage value whose use is
restricted by heating periods. Up
to the present all heating allct-
ments have been issued on eithei*
class 1 or class 2 sheet, with
coupons divided between tJie five
heating periods — that is, num
ber i, 3, etc. .

OPA Slaps Ceiling
On Com Products.
Aids Price Control
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The
Office of Price Administratio’i
has put a price Ceiling on ei»rn
meal, corn flour, hominy, hominv
grits and other products made by
the dry corn milling process aX)d
used for human consumption it
was announced th’is weeE.
This action by the OPA i.s a
further step in the simplifica
tion of food price controls, anJ
will be felt chiefly by cousiniiers
in the Southeastern states,
I where consumption of corn meal,
hominy and hominy grits is
heaviest. Corn flakes and ca-nne 1
hominy as well as corn products
used principally for animal feed
ing do not come under the re
gulation, which is effective Jan
uary 26.
The OPA states that thero is
not likely to b^ any material
change in prices to the consum
er. ^ A shopper will still find
prices on these corn products
varying slightly according to the
size and type of store at which
she buys. Wholesale and relai.

who often buy less.than 10
gallons at a time, of the need for
applying at their boards to ex
change their class 1 coupons for
definite gallonage coupons o£ 1
or 5 gallons.
Those consumers who have
receved a heating allotment cf
200 gallons or less on chss 1
“indefinite” value coupons may
exchange these at their ioa]
boards for the class 3 coupons.
Tx)ca boards for the class 3 cou
pons Local board, officials st irt
ed, have been instructed to issue
the 200 gallon or less allotments
in coupon denominations which
conform to the user’s bu isifr
habits.
t
Officials warn«d that under
the new procedure househu.iters
using 200 gallons or less of he.it-
ing oil will have the entire re.s-
ponsibility of budgeting their
consumption in line with .the r i-
tion for the remainder of the
heating year — that is, until
September 30, 1943.
OPA stated that a relatively
small percentage of the Ut.-*l
heating oil consumption will be
affected by this action. There
fore, the basic flexibility which
the heating periods provide —,
making possible quick and ef I
ficient changes in the value of
the heating coupons in line with
supply and weather conditions
— will not be decreased to any
important extent.
In addition, OPA authorL>5}d
religious practitioners to receive
auxiliary rations for heating
space used primarily for treat
ments and to certify patient-
needs for auxiliary rations in
the same manner as medical
practitioners.
These modifications containc-1
in Amendment No. 28 to Ratioii
Order No. 11 — Fuel Oil Ration

January 20, 1943.
