Meanwhile, the War Production Board which directs the fat sal vage campaign, has asked house wives not to hold accumulations until Dec. 15, but to keep a steady flow of fats moving to butchers so that glycerine manufacturers will not be obliged to slow dov/n their munitions program. Meat dealers who receive salvage fats have been authorized to give home fat savers brown stamps from Book 3, it was explained by L. W. Driscoll, district director of the Office of Price Administration at Charlotte. Later, he added, when one-point ration tokens are used in making point change for stamps the tokens will be used in pay ment for fats instead of the paper stamps. TIGHTER CONTROL ON GASO LINE BOOKS A far reaching plan to establish more effective control of the re turn of gasoline books for the 200,000 used cars which change hands every month in the United States has just been announced by L. W. Driscoll, district director of OPA. It goes into effect January 1. The plan calls for close coopera tion between state motor vehicles departments, which issue transfer of titles of automobiles, and local war price and rationing boards. Briefly, here is how it works: Before selling his car, the pres ent owner will surrender any cou pons issued for that car to his lo cal board and obtain a receipt for them in duplicate. The original copy will be sent to the state mo tor vehicle registration department along with application for transfer of title, and the duplicate must be shown by the new owner when he applies for gasoline rations in his own right.

Until now, lost books which could not be delivered to the addressee were sent to local boards which were required to meet the postage due charges on such books. RULES FOR HOG KILLERS Since it is now hog-killing time over most of the South, OPA has again repeated the regulations un der which a farmer may use the meat which he owns, after it is slaughtered, without exchanging rationing points. Meat produced by a farmer who lives on his farm can, of course, be consumed by members of his household, point free. If a person who operates a farm but does not live on it, may still receive the meat for consumption by his household point free if: (1) He supervised the raising of that meat by visiting the farm at least one third of the days the animals were being raised, or— (2) He purchased the animal at FOR— Everyone on your list can be found at PARSONS’ /A*k We have gifts for everyone in our store.

PORK NOT POINT FREE In order to increase the market outlet for large amounts of pork now being produced, OPA recently cut by two points the ration point values of all pork items. For sim ilar reasons, the War Food Admin istration temporarily lifted its re strictions on the amount of pork which a farmer may deliver from his farm. OPA officials, however, have emphasized that these changes do not mean that pork, or any other rationed meat may be now trans ferred point free.
