Ration Books Distributed Through State More than five and a half million copies of War Ration Book One and similar quantities of application forms and instruction sheets for consumers to be used In the forthcoming civilian rationing registration and the sugar rationing program were being distributed this week throughout the state, it was announced by State Rationing Administrator Robert W. Johnson. County Clefk'Stirling W. Cole, of Cape May County, and the clerks of other New Jersey counties are acting as consignees for the material which will be distributed by rationing boards and County Quota Authorities among the public elementary schools of the various counties in proportion to population figures supplied by city and county supervisors of schools. Teachers in the schools will act as registrars. Civilian registration for sugar rationing will take place during a four-day period which will be announced shortly. One person will be permitted to register for the entire family, and will receive a ration book containing 28 stamps for each member of the family. An instruction sheet telling how to use the stamps .will accompany each book. "Before the stamps of the War Ration Book may be used,” the instructions state, “the person for whom it was issued must sign it as indicated in the book. The name of a person under 18 years of age may be signed either by such person or by his father, mother or guardian." The instructions point out that Other products may be rationed from time to time and these will also be purchased through the use of ration stamps. “The Orders of the Office of Price Administration will designate the stamps to be used for the purchase of a particular rationed product, the period during which each of these stamps may be used, and the amounts which may be bought with each stamp. Stamps become valid for use only when and as directed by the Orders of the Office of Price Administration.’’ The stamps may be used in any retail store in the United States, but only by or for the person named and described in the War Ration Book. When any rationed product is purchased the proper stamp must be detached from the book in the presence of the storekeeper or his employee, the instructions direct. Lost, stolen or destroyed ration books must be reported to the local Ration Board in your community. The local board will also hear complaints, answer questions and adjust difficulties. During the registration period every person will be asked how much sugar the family has on hand. Severe penalties will be imposed upon persons making false statements.
