Remember the date of change to the new "token" plan February 27. ing all efforts possible to see that both friendly and enemy dead re ceived the proper care. "On many occasions you remov ed American bodies from combat vehicles in the face of the advanc ing enemy and that on one occas ion in particular on April 26, 1943, you retrived the Doaies oi nve American soldiers in the face of fire from a battery of German 88's." Chaplain (Captain) Carper's wife, the former Miss Lucille Wike, is now residing at Cullowhee, with their three children: Anna Ruth 7, John Howard, Jr. 6, and Dallas 4.

If you have no tokens at the mo ment you will give three blue staniDs ( worth 30 Dointsi and will receive seven blue tokens in change. In all transactions until March 20, when the green and brown stamps run out, you can get change in tokens for these stamps just as well as for the ntw red and blue stamps. Furthermore, in case some locali ties might be short of tokens nt the beginning, during the period between February 27 and March 20wVun the brown and green stamps run out valid 1-pnint green stamps and valid 1-point brown stamps may be used where necessary in making change; valid 1-point green stamps in place ot blue tokens and valid 1-point brown stamps in place of red tok ns. OPA also added these highlights: 1. No tokens will be issued to consumers. They will be obtained only as "change" from stores Stamps may not be exchang.d for tokens. 2. Tokens are valid indefinitely but, while they have no expiration date, they should be spent in pre firence. to stamps. If they are hoarded they may te lost, mislaid or stolen and they cannot be re placed. 3. Red and blue stamps will, in the future, expire together on th 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 as heretofore. B. Brown and green stamps will continue to be removed in vertical strips until they run out. 6. OPA urges shoppers to use thrir green and brown stamps first, before going into their red and blue stamps. No confusion is anticipated in this ehanee of stamp-and-token plan but, if some does occur in the beginning, it will be well wortn while because there are many posi. tive advantages to it. First, of course, there is the longer validity period for ration stamps. 1 nc Government will not have to issue ration books as often as b.fore and the public, of course, will not have tn annlv for new books as often This means a considerable saving of paper and large saving in the cost of printing and distributing these millions of books. To the merchants and banks it will nr. an a large saving of time in counting loose stamps at the end of each day an item of im portance in these days of labor shortage. To the purchaser, under the new ten-point stamp-and-token plan, a visit to th" store will be easier and faster. Recently this new plan was tested in Chicago. Two lines of shoppers wit past the checking stand of a grocery store; one line using stamps in the old way, the other using ten-point stamps and tokens. The token line moved past the checking stand in less than one half of the time required by th; line using the present system, even though all concerned were lamu mm ST mm. wan f3 37TH ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENT, DECEMBER 31, 1943 ASSETS LIABILITIES Co.K Unilad Statat Government Bond State, County and Municipal Bond All O'hor Bond Stocks Lined tecvritiet carried ot market, covt or coll volue, whichever U lower. firt Mortgage loant On form property $6,749,875.
