Rationing , OP A News RATIONING CALENDAR FOR WEEK OF NOVEMBER 1 MEATS, FATS ? Brown stamps G and H expire Dec. 4. CANNED FOODS? Blue X, Y, and Z (Book 2) expire Nov. 20. 4) expire Dec. 20. StJGAR ? No. 29 (Book 4) good for 5 lbs. throught Jan. 15, 1944. SHOES ? .N o 18 (Book 1) valid indefinitely. Plane stamp No. 1 (Book 3) now valid. GASOLINE ? A-6 coupons expire Nov. 8. !*UEL OIL ? Period 1 coupons good through Jan. 3. The important rationing news of the week is~that jams, jellies, pre serves and fruit spreads (except list of rationed foods and, after having been "frozen*' for a week, now may be * obtained with Blue stamps X, Y and Z in Book 2, or with Green Stamps A, B, and C in Book 4. OPA had several reasons for put ting these items on the rationed food list. The demand for them has increased tremendously for war workers' lunch boxes and with but ter becoming scarce, many families have turned to fruit spreads for their sandwiches. Point values, effective Nov. ^ have been announced as follows f Jams and preserves, 6 points a pound; fruit butters and jellies, 4 points per pound. In the November point value table, announced last week, cream cheese is up two points per pound, cooking and salad Qils up one point and margarine up one point. Creamery butter remains the same at 16 .points per pound but farm or country butter has been advanc ed from 10 to 12 points. Reason for the changes, OPA has announced, is the necessity of, ad justing wartime demands to snort THE VERY LATEST STYLES For Your Hair . . . PHONE 60 TUCKASEEGEE BEAUTY SHOPPE Mrs. ?a?n Allison Next P^or To Post Office 1 ened wartime supplies. As a compensation, however, point values for nearly all cuts of veal, lamb and pork have been re duced. Beef remains the same, on account of huge army purchases. | The net result is to give about 6 percent more meat in November than in October with .the same out lay of points. On the processed foods side, point values are increased on canned pineapple, apples, berries, fruit cocktail and pears. Beets, pump kin and squash cost less in points and, because current production is large, OPA is anxious for. con sumers to have these foods to use in the holiday season. Because 1,000,000 cases of cann ed grapefruit juice were released the point value of this item has been cut to only four points ftjr the large 46-ounce can. Pineapple juice was raised in point value, however. Tomato products, incluSing cat sup, have gone up in point value' since commercial canners were not able to put up as large a pack as was expected. Home canning, to some extent, reduced the size of the commercial pack, but it has put more home-canned tomatoes on pantry shelves. - Persons who wish to send pack ages of rationed food overseas may get the necessary points by apply ing to OPA. Those who wish to have the dealer from whom the food is bought arrange for the shipment may do so without giving up ration, stamps since OPA will replace, on evidence of export, the point value of the foods dealer ships to armed service personnel overseas or to prisoners of war. SOLDIERS' ALLOWANCE PAY MENTS Soldiers' dependents must fill out and return a new, one-sheet depen dency certificate to benefit by new rates provided by recent service men's allowance legislation, the War Department announced. All dependents y now receiving family allowances are being sent copies of the new form. These should be filled out, witnessed, and returned to the Office of Dependency Bene fits as soon as practicable to avoid 'possible discontinuance of allow ances. Until new. accounts can be set up, dependents now receiving family allowances will continue to receive their checks in the old mounts. After an account is con erted, any sums accrued as a re sult of an increase in allowances will be included in the first check. The conversion from old to new ac counts will take several months. 30 DAYS' NOTICE ON STAMP 18 The public will be given 30 days' notice, should it become necessary to terminate Shoe Ration Stamp 18. This announcement was made recently by OPA to "kill'' scare buying rumors that the validity period of Stamp 18 might be cancel lid with only 24 hours' notice to i consumers.

WHO MAY SLAUGHTER WITHOUT PERMIT * A farmer or other producer of livestock may slaughter without a license or permit and consume meat without giving up ration points, if he qualifies under the following OP A regulations: (1) raised live stock from birth or (2) for 60 days before. slaughter, or (3) the weight has increased 35 percent between time acquired and time of slaught er. In addition, a person must have resided more than six months of each year on a farm he operates, or have visited the farm to give his personal supervision to the rais ing of livestock for at least a third of the time during the period (one of those listed in the foregoing) on which he bases his claim to the right to consume meat point-free. If a person has his livestock cus torfr-slaughtered, he must meet these same conditions and give the slaughterer a certificate showing he is eligible to consume the meat point-free. 550,000 HONORABLY DIS CHARGED Approximately 550,000 officers and enlisted men were honorably discharged from the Army between December 7, 1941 and August 31, 1943, according to the War Depart ment.
