Facts About New Ration Book Are Explained NEWARK — Announcing that distribution of War Ration Book Two to county clerks in all New Jersey counties has started, James Kcmey, Jr., state OPA director, said this week that a total of 4,466,000 copies of the second ration book will be distributed to be held by county clerks until local ration boards call for them. Stressing the necessity for every person to have a copy of War Ration Book One, in order to be eligible for the second book which will control rationing of a large number of commodities, Kemey said December 16 was the deadline for obtaining such books. War Ration „Book Two, it was explained, is to be used in connection with rationing articles by the "point system”. This system is used for the rationing of a group of similar or related commodities, with a low point value given the most plentiful, and a fijgh point value given the scar-

cest.

The following explanation of point rationing was outlined by state rationing officials: 1. War Ration Book Two consists of eight pages of coupons; four pages are red, four pagei are blue. There are 24 coupons on each page — six 8-point coupons, six 6-point coupons, six 2-point coupons, arid six onepoint coupons. Each coupon has Both a letter and a number to designate it: A5,- B8, C2, etc. 2. When the government decides to ration a group of similar or related commodities, it will announce what those commodities are, the number of points allotted to each, and what total points may be used each month by each person to these commodities. For example, if it is announced that a group of five items are rationed, OPA will announce jjolnt values and procedure as fol (a) item 1—1 point per pound Item 2—2 points per pound Item 3—t points per pound Item 4—8 points per pound Item 6—11 points per pound (This will indicate that Item 6 is the scarcest, and Item 1 the least scarce.) (b) 48 points a month may be used by each person to purchase these commodities. (c) Blue stamps A, B and C will be used during the first month. There are four each of the A, B, and C stamps, in denominations of 8, 6, 2, and 1 points under each letter. Consequently, there are A stamps to tne value of 16 points, and the same applies to the B and C stamps, making a total of 48 points. ' (d) When you purchase a pound of Item 1, therefore, you surrender an Al, Bl, or Cl coupon ffom your blue sheet. For a pound of Item 3, you surrender two A2, B2, or C2 coupons; or one two-point anjl \w° one-point coupons—any combination of the A, B, and C conppns, as long as they total four points, in this case. If you purchase five pounds of Item 1, you must surrender a ftve-T>bint stamp, either A, B, or C, or any combination totaling five points. In connection with mileage rationing, OPA state headquarters pointed out that car owners must submit their tires for their first inspection before' January 31. Each sUtion will be given an Insignia of identification to display, and public announcement will be made of the official sta-

tions.

Farm Workers Must Report Job Changes COURT HOUSE — Cape MayCounty farmers and farm laborers who plan to work on defense jobs or other •‘off-the-farm” job* this winter shfluld consult their local Selective Service Boards before transferring to jobs outside of agriculture. This was the warning issued today by Henry H. White, county agricultural agent. “Under the ‘teen-age' draft act provision for holding workers at necessary farm occupations' -and endeavors there is no limitation for dairy, livestock and poultryfarms,” White continued. ‘‘Under the act, workers of ages 18 to.45 may be re-classified for immediate military service if they leave farm jobs without the prior approval Of their local draft board. “Deferred farm workers do not lose deferment status if they change from one netessary farm job to another or from one necessary farm to another of the same nature. “The regular Selective Service appeal machinery-is available to those whose requests for permission • to transfer awajr from a necessary farm job are rejected by the local draft boards,” the County Agent concluded.
