The new "A1 ' gasoline books will go into use D< cember 22, and War Bation Bool JHve will be used soon after the firs of the year for food rationing shoei Mr. Bowles said ? "It takes I long time to plan, print, and distri bute a war ration book. That's wh; we must arrange now for a book tha ^ will not be used until early 1946. "The supply agencies ? the D? partmeut of Agriculture and the Wa Production Board ? have told u that meats and fats, canned goodt sugar and shoes all will be in tigh supply for some months to come, an so it looks as if a ration book wil be needed at least throughout mot of next year. To be reasonably on tb safe side, and avoid the expense o Slaving to get out still another bool later, we have set up Book Five s ' that it can last from 10 to 15 mor - ~ths if it is needed. v "Even so, tne book contains onl; ') half as many stamps as Book Foui V By holding Book Five down to hal the also of the present book, we ar getting a book for less than half th : eoet of Book Four, and we are oi ing only half as mueh paper. "We hope War Ration Book Fiv J will be the last in the series of wai g .time ration books, and that ther will be plenty of stamps we won' have to use. We eannot gamble to } keavily on that, though, since ao ma i my months are needed to bring a booi into being. % . "The new book is a better bool ' ma it ought to be.

Since War Ration Rook Five, eon0 taining the new red and blue stamps' ["" 1 will not go into use before January f 1, 1046, it will be necessary to use ( r other stamps in Book Four as sub-1 r stitutes for processed food and meatfats stamps during the Interim period Interim period use of shoe and i- sugar stamps will not be necessary |. since the stamps provided for - these items in Books Three and Four will carry the programs without resort to fc substitutions. E. Interim use of other stamps la, Book Four after all blue and redi n stamps are validated will permit a considerable money saving.
