Scott, chairman of the State Ui DA War Board. Under the new ruling, farmers an provided with an AA-3 priority rat ing for lumber used in maintenance and repairing of farm buildings ot'n er than dwellings. An AA-4 ratinj is provided for most other agricultu ral uses, such as constructing she) ters, barns, pens, sheds for livestocl and poultry, and other essential buil dings. "Automatic preference ratings ar< not provided for new softwood lum ber to be used for such agricultura purposes as construction of new dwellings, garages, machine sheds repair shops, and similar buildings,' Scott said. "The softwood lumber conservation order, however, does not affect the use of home-sawed, used, or hardwood lumber for any purpose, unless otherwise restricted. Regardless of the type of lumber used. present conservation orders prohibit contsruction of agricultural dwellings costing $200 or more and other agricultural buildings costing $1,000 or more, without prior approval of the War Production Board."' He said the amendment makes it compulsory for dealers to fill purchase orders carrying a prefencc rating if they have the material on hand and do not have orders pending with higher priority ratings.

Vegetables, And Rationed In Nation ioned processed foods. See the of"icial list, showing every kind of rationed processed food, at your gro:er's. Different kinds of these foods vill take different numbers of points. Tor example a can of beans may take i aiiicrent numocr ot points from a :an o? peas. 6. Of course the more of anything you buy the more points it will take. For example, a large can of peas takes more points than a small can. 7. The Government will set the points for each kind and size and send out an official table of Point Values, which your grocer must put up where you can see it. The Government will keep careful watch of the supply of these processed foods and make changes in point values from lime to time, proWably not oftener than once a month. The Government will announce these changes when it makes them and they will be put up in the stores. (!. The number of points for each kind of processed food will be THE SAME in ALL STORES and in all parts of the country. How To Use New Ration Book. 1. The Government has set the Jay when this rationing will start. | On or alter that date, lake your War Ration Book Two with you when you go to buy any of these processsd foods. 2. Before you buy, find out how many points to give for the kind of processed foods you want. Prices ao not set the points. The Government will set different points for each kind and size, no matter what ihe price. Your grocer will put up the official list of pionls where you can see it. The points will not change just because the prices do. 3. When you buy, take the right amount of blue stamps out of the book. Do this in front of your grocer or delivery man and hand them to him. The grocer must collect a ration stamp, or stamps, for all the rationed processed foods he sells. Every rationed processed food will take points as well as money. 4. Do not use more stamps than you need to make up the right amount. For example, if the food you buy calls for 13 points it is better to tear out an 8-poir,t and a 5-point stamp, than two 5-poinl stamps and a 2 and a 1-point stamp. Save your smaller point stamps for low-point foods. You can take the stamps trom more than one book belonging lo your household if you need to. 5. Every person in your housetold, including children of any age, has a total of 48 points to use for all tf these processed foods for one ration period. This means that you may use ALL the blue stamps marked A, B, and C from all the books luring the first period. You may use as many of the blue A, B, and C stamps as you wish at one time. When they are used up you will not be able to buy any more or these processed foods till the next stamps are good. The Government will announce the date when the next stamps are good. 6. Use your household's points carefully, so that you will not run out of stamps. And buy with care to make your points come out even, because the grocer will not be able to give you change in stamps. Use high-point stamps first, if you can. IMPORTANT You may use all the books of the household to buy processed foods for the household. Anyone you wish can lake the ration books lo the store lo do the buying for you or for your household. We cannot afford to waste food or give some people more than their fair share . . . That is why canned fruits and vegetables are rationed, and that is why meat is going to be rationed. Rationing of Some foods is the best and fairest way to be sure that every American gets en uugu iu eat. Boone Flower Shop Our Aim is to Please You. Cut Flo war*.

C j Dependency Deferment Grounds Must Ante-Date Pearl Harbor Attack Registrants whose wives have become pregnant since December 7. 1941, are no longer entitled to deferment on the grounds of dependency, it was stated todav bv the State Di rector of Selective Service. He stated that this revised policy has been made necessary because present regulations provide that no status which was acquired on or after December 8. 1941. may be considered when deciding the question of dependency. The Director further announced that all local boards in the State have! been directed to reopen and recon-, sidcr for classification tile cases of i all registrants heretofore deferred on the grounds of dependency because their wives have become pregnant since December 7, 1941. The fact that a registrant is a parent shall not be considered in de-1 termining the class in which he shall | be placed unless the child was eon- i ceivcd prior to December 8, 1941, the Director said. He further stated that this ruling applies to all cases, re- i gardlcss of the date of marriage, and is to be applied in considering both J the classification of a registrant and, I in determining his category. ? . r* ] What Ifou feuif.
