Housewives Happy Ration Points Out Except For Sugar Perquimans County housewives are a happy lot this week, for they no longer need to be mathematicians as well as cooks to figure out what they can serve the family for dinner. Ra tioning of food items, excepting sugar, has been ordered stopped by the OPA. OPA announced the end of ration ing, except for scarce sugar, effective at Midnight last Friday, and shoppers over the week-end enjoyed buying items without having to produce ra tion points for the first time since rationing began in 1941. The order issued by OPA last week end put a atop to rationing of butter fats and oils, as well as meats and other food items; however, the OPA warned there is still a shortage of certain foodstuffs and urged the puD lic to buv onlv what is needed, in or der that the stock-piles may be built up for our own use as well as helping to supply other ceugtries throughout the world. Individuals are reminded by 'OPA to save their ration book number four in order to purchase sugar. This article is expected to continue on the rationed list for some time. The sugar stamp currently valid is number 38. It will be good for five pounds of sugar through December 31. Government officials also point out that the fats salvage program will be continued so long as fat supplies are short, and the Government urges housewives and other consumers to continue to save fats. A premium of four cents a pound will be paid for the fat salvage, however no more red points will be issued as these to kens may now be discarded.

Mr. Riddick said that while sales generally are good, there is a need for boosting the E bonds if Perquim ans is to achieve its overall goal in this final war bond campaign. Dur ing the week the county dropped frotn third place in E bond sales in North 'aivlina to sixth place. However, the ounty continues to lead all other Al bemarle counties in the race among counties to he the first to report E bond goals obtained. The E bond goal for Perquimans in this drive amounts to $78,01)0, thus there remains a total of $22,700 worth of E bonds to be pur chased before Perquimans can be re ported over the top in this drive.

All solicitors are reminded that prizes are being offered for best results obtained in this drive and these will be awarded ' at the close of the E bond sales De cember 31.
