ROCKETS FUTURE? A "very definite future" haa been predicted lor jet-propelled aircraft by Glenn L Martin, famed plane builder, lie says the propeller-type ship will hi ways be with us, but for certain |uses jet propulsion will excel. One use is travel away up, above tfeven the stratosphere, up where ?here is no air, only a vacuum. {That is the field for the rocket ship, iwhich is another type of jet-pro pelled craft The Army's "jet plane" presumably uses an internal combustion engine which must have Blr. But a rocket ship functions fcest in a vacuum where, needing no wings to stay aloft, it makes more ?peed. REGULATED COMPETITION?

Treasury Ration Tokens Raleigh, Feb. 15. ? During the week of February 27, housewives will begin using red and blue one point ration tokens which they will receive as "change" from grocers and butchers by use of red and blue food stamps which after that date will have a value of 10 points each, regardless of the printed denominations on them. By now, most of the retail stores in Eastern North Carolina will have received from the Office of Price Administration through their ration banks supplies, of the red and blue tokfens from the two-billion ordered last fall. The tokens are slightly smaller and thinner than a dime and are made of a lightweight, but dur able plastic. Stamped on each of the token is: "OPA 1 Red (or Blue) Point." To aid the housewife in switch ing over to the revised food ra tioning system, OPA has prepar I ed the following calendar: BROWN STAMPS: Y and Z i (book 3) will continue valid for meats, cheese, etc. until March 20 at their face values of 8, 5, 2 and 1 points as in the past. Red to kens may be used with brown stamps however, after February 27. GREEN STAMPS: K, L and M | (book 4) will continue valid for processed foods until March 20 j at their face values as in the past. Blue token may be used with green stamps after February 27. RED STAMPS: Three red ! stamps - A8, B8 and C8 'in book | 4 - become valid February 27 i with a total value of ^0 points. ; They will be good through May 20, 1944, for use with red tokens in buying meats and fats. Three 1 more red stamps will become va ; lid March 12 and others succes 1 sively during the year. BLUE STAMPS: Five blue stamps - A8 through E8 in book 4 - become valid February 27 with a total value of 50 points. They will be good through May 20, 1944 for use with blue tokens for buying processed foods. OPA gave this example of shop ping with tokens: If a housewife .{buys items worth 23 blue points she will give her merchant two blue stamps (worth 20 points) and three blue token. If she has no tokens at the moment, she will give three blue stamps (worth 30 po'ints and will re ceive seven tokens as change. OPA also added these high lights: 1. No tokens will be issued to consumers. They will be obtain ed only as "change" from stores. Stamps may not be exchanged for tokens. 2. Tokens are valid indefinitely and while they have no expira tion date, they should be spent in preference to stamps. If they are hoarded, they may become lost, mislaid or stolen and can not be replaced. 3. Red and blue stamps will, in the future, expire together on the same dates and will be valid for about 12 weeks, or three times as long as previously. 4. Red and blue stamps will be torn from ration books from left to right, not in up-and-down strips. 5. Brown and green stamps will continue to be removed in vertical strips. 6. OPA urges housewives to use their green and brown stamps! first, before going into their red and blue stamps. o DR.
