Registry For Ration Books Smooth In N. J. NEWARK — The distribution of War Ration Book Two to every man, woman and child in the state last week was the “smoothest, most efficient consumer registration in our rationing -experience,” according to James Kerney, Jr., state director of OP A. He gave full credit to “the splendid work of the thousands of school-teacher registrars and other volunteers” for the completion of the tegistration, and praised the fine spirit in which “the citizens of New Jersey have accepted the point rationing of processed foods with the realization that it is a vital measure for achieving victory.” He urged all housewives to “spend" points carefully “so that rations will last out the month.” “Forty-eight points per person during March,” he pointed out, "figures out to approxin a half point per person per —or twelve points a week per person. This gives the mealplanner a basis for budgeting points, and for making certain ' that the family gets a balanced diet and adequate variety." He emphasized that stocks of canned gods on hand at home, for which ration stamps were taken from ration books by registrars, are as much a part of the nation's supply of canned foods as those on the shelves of the stores. Housewives were ioVised to keep within the 48-point per person per month limit even when using these excess home stocks. He urged consumers to use the unrationed fresh fruits and vegetables as frequently as possible. Recently imposed ceiling prices on many fresh vegetables, he pointed out, will prevent any further rise in prices of these commodi-

ties.

An announcement by the Mileage (Rationing Division at OPA headquarters requested car owners to transfer the serial numbers of gasoline ration books entered on 1942 motor vehicle registration certificates to their 1943 registration certificates when they receive them this month. Motorists were also reminded that the tire inspection deadline for holders of A gasoline ration books is March 81; they were urged to have the inspection made immediately to avoid a rush at the end of the month. Shoe dealers were told that in any transaction in which a dealer permits the return of a pair of shoes for which he -- funds the purchase price, he must also return to the customers a ration stamp number 17. On even exchanges, where a new pair is exchanged for a new pair, neither the customer nor the dealer are required to surrender the ration stamp. If the dealer accepts the return of a new pair of shoes and refunds the ration stamp and the purchase price he must give the customer a receipt showing that the shoes were returned. The following types of shoes have been released from ration restrictions: current stocks of ski ahoes, skate shoes, rubber soled shoes with fabric uppers, locker sandals, bathing slippers, and a variety of other play shoes with uppers made of fabric or types of leather that are not on the critical list; all imported Mexican huaraches that are released by , the Collector of Customs before June 1, 1948; all footwear that does not have a rubber or leather sole and in which leather is used only as hinges, tabs, heel inserts, or other non-skid or sound-proof-ing features covering not more than 26 percent of the bottom •ole area; and all burial slippers. It was emphasized that the exemption is limited to stocks of these shoes now in the hands of retailers, wholesalers, or manufacturers or which are manufactured before April 16, 1948. Any made after that date (manufacturers are required to date them) return to the rationed list.

Auto Licenses On Sale; Tabs Being Issued — Continued From Paoe One Since there will be -but one inspection annually while restricted driving regulations are in effect, Commissioner Arthur W. Magee, chief of the Motor Vehicle Department, this week said that owners can serve a dual purpose by calling at the inspection stations early. He pointed out that not only will plate deterioration be halted but inspection requirements .met in time to spot possible defects which, if continued uncorrected, might result in unnecessary and premature wear of tires' and vital parts. Continuing, the Commissio

said: \

“There is nothing unique about safety inspections under governmental auspices. For many years inspections have been made of elevators, steam boilers, steamboats, fire escapes, tenement houses and hazardous industrial machinery. No one questions the salutary effects of these inspections but they are completely overshadowed by the results of motor vehicle inspections in New Jersey. * “During the last five years of inspections, there have been 1,632 fewer lives lost in traffic accidents than in the five year period prior to the inspection program. Most significant is the fact that many more vehicles were on the road and much more gasoline was used in the latter period than during the five years before , in-

spections.

"Having a vehicle inspected * a year is’ a very small contribution toward the continuance of New Jersey's record conservation of life, limb, manpower, tires,

No Auto Deaths In ' County In January TRENTON — Cape May Coun- _ was one of the five New Jersey counties which had no fatal

automobile accidents during

month of January, 1943, it disclosed today in a report issued by Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee. Cape May County had no automobile fatal-

ities in January, 1942.

Despite the ban' on pleasure driving. 66 persons were Killed ir New Jersey traffic accidents during January, Magee reported.-The figure compares with 99 last January, a decrease of 34 per cent. While the trend was downward in total deaths, a disturbing factor in the January records was a higher ratio of pedestrian casualties. Of the 66 fatalities in the state, 44 were pedestrians, a ratio of two in every three deaths compared ' with one in every in January a year ago. Nearly CO per cent of the pedestrians killed were over 50 years of age. Another disquieting element in the January toll was the number of. war workers killed. Eighteen of the 66 were employed in war plants, a ratio of five in every 18 killed during the month. Six soldiers, three of them in one accident, were among the month’s traffic victims throughout

the state.
