Sugar Stamp 12 Valid; Ration Rules Explained NEWARK—Sugar stamp number 12 in War Ration Book One is not*.valid for the purchase of five pounds of sugar, and remains valid until May 31. This aims announced by the office of James Kerney, Jr., state director of the Office of Price Adminis-

tration.

It was pointed out that the five-pound allotment must cover an eleven-week period, and consequently the ration is about three-quarters of an ounce under the usual half pound per person a week ration. The reason for using a five-pound unit, rationing officials explained, is to save manpower in packaging and handling, and to reduce the number of times the consumer must buy

sugar.

At* the same time it was announced that coffee stamp number 26 in War Ration Book One will become valid tor one pound of coffee on March 22, and will remain valid for a five-week period until April 26. This represents a 16 percent increase in the coffee ration, inasmuch as the last ration period was six weeks. Clarifying the processed food regulations for institutional users, Kemey’s office stated that persons who live in- a hotel for seven consecutive days or more, and who cat eight of more meals week there, must turn over the proprietor all food ration

books.

The same rule, it was pointed out, applies to inmates of jails

Old Age Pensions May Be Increased To Meet Rising Costs Of Living, Stevens Reports

NEW BRUNSWICK—The 1943 Victory Garden Manual for New Jersey is off the press and ready

for distribution.

Professor . Frank G. Helyar, chairman of the State Victory i Garden Committee, announced todhy that supplies of the manual have been sent to all county ag-

...p.™- w "^ura] agents and to many loud other institutions of involun-l cal Victory Garden leaders and

state will be increased to offset the increased cost of living was indicated yesterday by Freeholder Ralph T. Stevens, who reported on a meeting of the State Association of Boards of Chosen Freeholders at Trenton on Monday. Commissioner William J. Ellis, head of the state department of institutions and agencies, attended he session and discussed with representatives of the various county boards the situation which is rapidly approaching a crisis in New

Jersey.

“It was pointed out that food costa alone have risen at least 20 per cent in New Jersey in the last two years," Freeholders Stevens said, “so that now it is extremely difficult-for old age pension recipients to meet the cost of. living with the pensions they now receive. “From the pensions, approxim- [ ately $12 a month is allotted for

“The possibility of increasing the pensions to compensate for this rising'cost is being considered by State, federal and county officials. “If it is increased, the county’s share would increase about SO cents per month per person or a total Of less than $2,500 a year. The federal government’s share would increase about $1.20 per month per peson, and the state’s share would rise about 90 cents a

month per person.

“We have in the county budget sufficient funds to meet the increase, and the federal government undoubtedly can increase its share, but the state budget will not permit an increase unless a supplemental appropriation is granted the Legislature,” Stevens ex'Such an increase would be an economy for the county, for with added cost of $2,500, our old

food,” Stevens explained, “but now ; age relief clients would receive a the minimum food cost amounts to I total of $22,500 additional. I per- ‘ month per person. sonally cannot pee how people can

exist on $12 a month for food," the Freeholder commented. “I feel that the Legislature should grant a supplemental appropriation because the situation will continually grow worse with the decrease in surplus commodities now being distributed to pension

recipients.

“Some people laughed at us several years ago when the Townsend Plan was first discussed, but that plan would hare cost only one billion dollars a year. The federal security program recommended to Congress last week by President Roosevelt would cost approximately $25 billion. “From the standpoint of' Cape May County, it costs about $30 a month to maintain each inmate at the county almshouse. If we can obtain adequate old age pensions for these people so they will not have to go to the county farm, the county would save nearly % of the cost of their maintenance,” Stevens pointed out.

The stamps are to be turned over to the local rationing board at the time the institution applies for the next ration allotment. The institution must not use the stamps for any purpose, nor may it deposit-them in any

ration ank account.

Boarding houses, boarding schools, fraternity and sorority houses with fewer than fifty residents and which serve 80 per cent or more of their food to such residents, must use the ration books of the residents to purchase rationed foods. If there are more than fifty residents the institution is classed in Group Three and follows the rules which apply

to hotels and jails.

Patients in hospitals or ,sanitariums for seven consecutive days or more, and who eat eight or more meals there, are also required to surrender their ration books to the person in charge.

Garden Committee by staff members of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, the manual presents in clear, concise form the things which every Victory gardener needs to know.

A planting table lists varieties of vegetables recommended for New Jersey and gives information on the number of seeds required for 100 feet ofrow. depth to sow seed, distance between plants and between rows, time for outdoor planting, number of days from planting until harvest, and the average yield

per 100 feet of row.

Principal insect enemies vegetables and recommended remedies are listed in another table. The manual also takes up the matter of soil tests, suitable sites for gardens, use of fertiliier, summer mulching, and storage and canning of vegetables.

“It is too late to ask for the deferment of very essential farm workers after they have notice of induction,” Henry H.

County Merchants Get Commendation Food merchants in this ai were cited today for “patriotic and distinctive service” by exGovemor A. Harry Moore, honorary chairman of the state-wide “Give a Bomber" campaign sponsored by the Loyal Independent

Food Merchants, Associated.

The merchants cited are the first in their respective areas to pledge one per cent of their gross sales for the month of March to be applied to funds for the purchase of a four motor bomber.

Ex-Governor Moore said:

“It is too bad we started thi» drive after the bombing of Berlin, otherwise our plane might have soared over Hitler's nest and blasted those vultures out. But there will be more bombings of Naziland and our plane will

be there to help out.”

Union County is leading in the inter-county race with Hudson and Essex trailing in that order. County contests to fill the quota before the month of March ends

have spurred great interest.

“The goal of pledges for New Jersey is 14,000 and the current rate of receipt of pledges is grati- * ' " said Mitchell Mozur, chairman at the campaign. “Soon ‘L’ pennants will be ■flying’ on merchants' windows all over the state. They are as patriotic as the next fellow; and they want their money to help win this The merchants cited in Cape May County are B. Klimeaz, Economy Store, North Wildwood; Charles S. Homan, Ward’s Pas- . try Shop, Ocean City; Walter Groase and James S. Weston, of Weston’s Sea Foods, Wildwood.

Mrs. Palmer M.

Commenting on remarks'’ by Captain Morrison, retjmg president of the association, in which be said women should be considered for field work because , of the manpower shortage, she' said the women were willing to accept this work. Mrs. Way also expressed the. hope that in the post-war world when the four freedoms are again enjoyed, there would be a fifth— freedom from mosquitoes. “In some sections the farmers have opposed efforts of the mosquito control commission for, the reason that their hay-producing salt meadows have been rendered quite useless or entirely destroyed by the necessary ditching,” said Mra. Way. “Naturally their objections through the Grange and other farm organizations have reached the freeholders and have at times caused unfavorable actions upon the appropriations required for the work. These farmers are beginning to realize that interference with their hay crops is not so important to them as the lucrative trucking of their- vege-
