I TOWN and FARM in WARTIME L Voparod t, CFFIC9 OF WAft INFOtMATtON Housewives are urged to destroy all food ration stamps that have been declared invalid the Office of Price Administration said today. Use of these stamps by consumers as well as acceptance of them by retailers, is a violation of ration ing regulations, OPA said. At the same time OPA explained that red ration tokens continue good and housewives may use them for buying- meats-fats. Grocers will continue to give them to house wives as change for the red 10 point stamps. Blue ration tokens, however, have not been good since October 1 and, therefore, cannot be used for cann ed fruits and vegetables. They are no longer needed as change for the 10-point blue ration stamps used for processed foods because point values for these items are set in multiples of ten.

RATION ACTION FOR FAIRER DISTRIBUTION The mounting exactions of a lengthened war and the failure of pas,t partial rationing to fairly dis tribute available foods to all Ameri cans are causes reported by the PARK THEATRE WAYNESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA MATINEE : Sunday 2 and 4 P.

Office of Price Administration for tightening and increasing the ra tion systeni on fbods. Cancellation of unspent ration stamps validated prior to Decembeir 1 was done, OPA said, because supplies are just not large enough to permit spending both 1945i ration stamps and all those unspent in 1944. Stamps is sued for this past December and for January are to provide for cur rent needs. Major facts on the supply situation are: Sugar The home canning ration this year is severely tightened and coupons for no more than 700,000 tons can be issued in the 1945 season, compared with 1,150,000 tons last season. This reflects an excessive use of 1944 supplies and the fact that 1945 will see no more than 5,400,000 tons available for civilians as against 6,100,000 in 1944, 5,700,000 in 1943 and 7,350,000 in 1941. Butter Civilian creamery stocks are at such a low level that sup plies in the hands of wholesalers and retailers musjt be increased if a fairer distribution is to be ob tained. The total available for 1945 is expected to be smaller than last year. Processed Foods Needs of the armed forces for canned fruits are expected to remain heavy and mili tary procurement needs and set aside requirements for canned veg etables from the 1944 pack were bigger than in 1943. The supply now on hand must be made to last until the next canning season. The present stocks of commercially canned vegetables on December 1, 1944, was about 56 per cent of the quantity on hand for civilians 12 months previous. Meat Prospects at present are for supplies during the first three months of this year are about 15 per cent below the last three months of this year are about 15 per cent below the last three months of 1944 and also the first quarter of last year. This applies to both rationed and unrationed kinds. Hog production available for slaughter is about 21 per cent below a year ago. Says OPA: "Food rationing in effect, must be placed on a pay-as- you-go basis. During the next few months, and perhaps throughout 1945, ration stamps will be only good on the basis of the supplies that can be made available to ci vilians without upsetting the fair est distribution obtainable. Short ages in some items, such as butter, may continue. The choice and va riety of meats and canned fruits and vegetables may continue to be spotty .in some cities. But as closely as possible point values will be maintained to assure the shopper a reasonable choice of rationed foods.'' HOW FARMERS CAN GET LUMBER Farmers who need lumber for emergency maintenance and repair of arm dwellings may now apply to the War Food Administration for preference ratings instead of to War Production Board field offices. WPB's Office of Civilian Requirements has transferred to WFA 15,000,900 board feet of lum ber from its allotment for the first quarter of 1945 to provide lumber for emergency maintenance and re pair of farm dwellings. FEWER TRUCKS TO BE MADE Less than one fourth of the motor trucks estimated as needed to meet essential war and civilian trans portation requirements during 1945 will be produced and distributed to commercial operators, the Office of Defense rTansportation announced today. The estimate is based on the 945 civilian truck program ap proved by the War Production Board. Increased demands by the armed services for all types of motor transport, was given as the chief reason for the severe reduc tion. -. The total authorized pro gram amounts to 186,792 light, medium, Jtighjt heavy and heavy heavy trucks, or 24.1 per cent of Letters To Editor GREETING SEKT Editor The Mountaineer: Just a brief message to say that through the courtesy of! two of our former members, Mr.' and Mrs. M.
