POINT RATIONING SIMPLIFIED WITH TOKENS (For Shoppers) On February 27, 1944 the OPA simplified point ra tioning by setting a varne of 10 points on all Red and Blue stamps in War Ration Book Four and using Red and Blue one-point tokens for change. This change will mean less stamps to handle and greater ease in counting up points when shopping. De monstrations indicate that the use of ration tokens re- shopping time about 50 per cent. will mean s hat the distribution of 130 million ra . tion books will not have to be made as often since War Ration Book Four will last approximately four times as .long as in the past. It will mean a saving of tons of paper by less print ing of ration books and forms. This new system will save the shopper considerable time in adding up the point value of her stamps since each Red and Blue stamp in Book Four will be worth 10 points instead of 1,2, 5 and B—and she will receive tokens only “in change”. For example: If she buys a roast of beef that requires 43 points she will give the merchant five Red stamps, making a total of 50 points. He will give her seven Red tokens in change. If she should later need to purchase a quarter of a pound of butter, which would require four Red points she can pay the merchant four tokens out of the previous in stead of giving him another stamp. Longer Validity Periods for Point Ration Stamps The validity period of all Red and Blue stamps will be increased to approximately 12 weeks. These longer validity periods will give the house wife a longer period over which to budget her points and should, therefore, help to discourage last minute rushes heretofore occa c *oned by shorter periods between expiration dates. Tokens will be valid indefinitely. The first stamps to become valid and their expira tion dates are listed below. Questions and Answers Q. Will only Blue and Red stamps in War Ration Book four be used in connection with the tokens? A. After March 21, yes. Between Feb. 27 and March 21, blue token? may be given in change for eith er blue or green stamps; red tokens for red or brown stamps. Q. Will the Red and Blue stamps be of same value legardless of the numbers printed on them? A. Yes, 10 points each. Q. How many token? will 1 receive “in change"? A. Never over nine red or blue tokens and in most instances five of each will cover all needs. Q. Will I be able to exchange a stamp for tokens? A. No, tokens will be given only as change when making a purchase. Q. How long will the red and blue stamps be good in Book Four?~~ A. The validity period of all red and blue stamps will be approximately 12 weeks. Q. Will stamps be torn out as b e-fore pup and down) or across *he book? A. They will be used across the book—AS, 88, DB, E8 and so on. Q. When will the brown stamps in War Ration Book Three and tne gteen stamps in Book Four expire? A.

J LETTERS FROM MEN IN SERVICE “Some place West of Burnsville”. Yancey Record: Going for more than a year with out saying thanks for the many editions of the pape~; would be a gross injustice,i as my appreciation for the! home town publication is great. I have long considered myself unfortunate for not having the chance to talk to anybody on an all impor tant subject to me: Yancey county. My luck changed for the better one day not long ago when I met Sgt. Ernest Hughes, U. S. Army engineer in charge of a crew on an LCM. He had a couple of Records on his landing craft; and I had one in my pack. And for two hours going up the coast we kept our minds off the waves and on Yan cey county, , Although we had never met before we knew enough ‘ about the subject to hold a two hour conversation. _ Ernie is from Jacks Creek and the officer over him. said that he was one! of his best men—the sort of fellow who doesn’t say much but gets a lot done. v l‘d like to know John jLedford’s, Buster Stamey’s !

You can judge from the news lately that they’re not on a picnic. But words from home and the j realization that those in j the states are “putting I out” will make these m'om ( ents more worth living I through. Every time there is a “strike”, a million or more fighting men get stabbed in the back., Every time you buy a bond you, are! “super charging” his es - forts. There are many things you can do in both categories, but for your fighting men’s sake and for, your own sake, too, stick to that job of “super charging”, and you can count on the Marines to do their part. I’m sure of that. I’ve been reading about a lot of the fellows coming home on furlough. Now, just what is a furlough? Some thing to ride home on? Some of the fellows say they think they remem ber seeing them in the quartermasters—but that was two years and three months ago.

FEED MORE LEGUME HAY TO DAIRY COWS Experiments have shown time and again that good legume hay and good pas ture are the foundation of all dairy ratidfts for profi table milk production, says F. M. Haig, specialist in dairying for the State Col lege Extension Service. He points out that the j dairy cow should be given ■ | practically all the feed that! .she will consume. This is - because the dairy cow is the most efficient machine . in the world for converting [ such raw materials as le ( gume hay, silage, grains, • and pasture into the most t valuable and essential fin , ished product mill:." Haig recommends the following winter ration for ! a 1,000-pound cow, giving 4 gallons of milk daily: 10 ’ pounds of soybean hay; 30 , pounds of corn silage; 10 , pounds of corn and cob meal; and 1 pound of cot tonseed-meal, or any other protein supplement. H e points out that any good legume hay may be used in place of soybean hay in the recommendation. The im portant thing is that it be a good legume hay. In the recommended ra tion, 63 per cent of the di gestible protein and 56 per cent of the total digestible nutrients are furnished by the hay and silage, or the roughage part of the ration This indicates the import ance of good quality rough age as the foundation of the dairy ration. "With good roughage, considerably more than one-half of the nutrients required for milk produc tion can be furnished with hay and silage in winter and with pasture in sum mer,” Haig says. “North Carolina has the climate, the soil, and good dairy cows. More and bet ter pastures, and more le gume hay and silage for winter feeding Can greatly 1 help in establishing a suc cessful and permanent sys tem of agriculture,” he points out. » •*•*" — 1 WAVES Because of its consistent record as leader in volun-| teers for the Navy’s Wav-> es. North Carolina was se-j lected by the Navy De- 1 partment to inaugurate the drive. Need for women in the Waves was emphasized in Raleigh yesterday by the Navy’s announcement that 80,030 landing craft will be I launched and manned by the end of 1944. Lt. Lod wick C. Hartley, head of the Office of Naval Offi-! eer Procurement in Ralei-j jgh, said that the impend (large-scale swing to action' in the Pacific “ makes most urgent the need for even more women in the Waves “In its plans for Pacific attacks, the Navy has 92,- 000 invasion jobs allotted to women, jobs upon which the success or failure of the Pacific invasions will depend,” the officer said. Beginning February 20, a two-week drive wiil be conducted in North Caro lina to contact every avail able woman who is quali-i i fied and interested in the I Waves. An effort will be made to contact every wo- I man who are eligible.
