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?

Scutes. It is that those who oppose
monopoly stand for "unbridled
?competition" ? a dog-eat-dog system
Which would end with everyone the
Hoser.
But the sixteen domestic airlines
Which favor competition point out
that there is an agency of the Fed
eral Government which has as its
duty the prevention of such a
debacle. It is the Civil Aeronautics
Board which has always provided
on domestic routes sufficient com
petition to promote progress, but
*ot cut-throat competition. Some
of the sixteen airlines have not
even filed for overseas routes. But
all insist that U. S. business, as well
as aviation, will suffer if the Con
gress permits the creation of a
monopoly of our international sky
ways.
DOUBLE TROUBLE? Gradually
?tories are coming to light of the
difficulties and achievement of our
airmen and engineers in carving
airports out of jungle wildernesses,
fcarren northern wastes, desolate
sjnountainous islands.
i But a new one was recently re
pealed by the Civil Aeronautics
Board. An airline in Alaska had
|>een operating from a sand bar in
la river, the best available landing
?trip. Double trouble descended on
the line not long ago. The river
(changed its course and the sand
tmr-airfield just ain't there!

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.
