In spite of the shortage of
coffee Mr. Prouty emphasized
that the price of coffee is con-
trolled by the OPA regulations
of those who
localities or
No. 2Hs issued.
For the benefit
live in remote
where transportation facilities
make the buying of supplies
in small quantities a hardship,
Mr. Prouty pointed out that a
consumer may apply to this Ra-
tion Board for a certificate to
buy as much as five pounds of
fe? rationing, he stated, those
who do not have War Ration
Book No. 1 or who have lost
it should apply Immediately to
the local War Price and Ra-
don ing Board.
“When coffee rationing be-
gins on November 39,” he said,
“War Ration Book No. 1—
which most people probably call
the “sugar book”, will then be
used for buying coffee. The
first coffee ration stamp is No.
27, then in order follow 28, 25,
26, 23, 24, 21, 22 and 30.”
He explained that this ap-
parently disconnected sequence
of the stamp numbers is to
be used because of the arrange-
ment of the stamp in the ration
book.
"Another important point to
bear in mind,” he said, “is that
only those whose ration books
show them to be over 15 years
old may purchase a pound for
each of these coffee stamps.
Persons who have attained the
age of 15 years since the ra-
tion book was issued are not
eligible to purchase coffee. The
reason for this age limitation
is to allow larger coffee rations
for grownups.
The first ration period will
be for five weeks from No-
vember 29 through January 3,
1943.
“Consumers who have stock-
up on coffee will have to count
al), above one pound 'they have
on hand November 28 as a part
of their ration,” he added.
When the consumer applies for
War Ration Book No. 2 some-
time around the first of the
year he will be required to de-
clare the amount of coffee he
had on hand' at the start of
rationing and stamps will be
.removed from his book to cover

Our people are gradually be-
coming conscious of the fact
that their homeland is at war.
Not all the restrictions intro-
duced by our lawmakers are
sanctioned by the people back
home, however, that would be
a small matter if the people in
general had gone to church
oftener and to the silver dol-J
lar amusement parlor less fre-
quently. If lack of education,
both in school and church, in-
directly brought this world war
upon us then it is high time
that all classes of people s-tart
hiding their faces in shame.

Tires And Tubes Issued
By Rationing Board
Deer hunters put up a
ond front, so to speak, in
timberland .to the south
east from town with good re-
sults. The cold weather prevail-
ing during the earlier part of
this week, brought the deer out
of .their hiding place and with-
in close range of the hunters,
whose marksmanship seemed to
have be?r better than ever. A-
mong those that bagged their
limit is Harry Henkhaus, Jr.
A choice roast of the young
hunter’s game found its way
into our kitchen. Among the
others who made a successful
bag was Adolf Bastian who
killed a large five pointer Mon-
day afternoon. Mr. Bastian sent
us a liberal chunk of venison—
enough .to supply, our household'
for two days with choice meat,
of which we read so much in
the papers and see so little of
it on th? dinner table. Thanks
to both hunters.

Catton farmers all over the

cotton marketing quotas.
Cotten marketing quotas have
been in effect for the past five

of insuring each grower his
fair share of ithe available mar-
ket for cotton, George Slaugh-
ter, chairman, Texas AAA
committee, pointed out in an-
nouncing the referendum date.
Last December 89.4 per cent
of the Texas growers voting
favored quotas on. the 1942

Th? government is asking the
American farmers to dedicate
the remaining year of 1942 to
an intensified scrap hunt. S.eel
mills need more heavy scrap
and the farmers are one of the
best sources of this type of
metal.
We need your further help
in this farm drive and in aiding
your salvage committee >to con-
tinue their efforts throughout
the next few weeks. All salvage
committees are being instruct-
ed to continue to make avail-
able to the farmers all their
tra sportation facilities and
manpower, and to cooperate
with you in every possible way.
The nation is looking to the
American farmers. I am sure,
wdth your help, we will come
through.

In order to prepare for cof- lotments, Mr. Prouty explained,
these institutional users should
register with the War Price and
Rationing Board on either Mon-
day, Tuesday or W’ednesday,
November 23, 24 or 25. Their
first allotment will start with
the date of registration and ex-
tend to midnight of January 31,
1943.
Restaurants, hotels, hospitals
and other such institutions will
be entitled to as much coffee
during the first two months of
rationing as they used during
Sep.ember and October. This
allotment for a restaurant, hotel
or institution not operating in
September or October, 1942 will
be cwo pounds of coffee for each
60 meals to be served during
the allotment period, but Mr.
Prouty had this word of warn-
ing to add:
“A cup of coffee, unless serv-
ed with a food item other than
milk, cream or sugar, will not
be regarded as constituting a
meal.”
One pound of roasted coffee
will b? allowed between Novem-
ber 29 and January 3, 1942 for
each consumer whose age is re-
corded as 15 years or more on
his sugar ration book. Persons
who have attained the age of
fifteen years since the ration
book was issued ar? not eligible
to purchase coffee.
“The coffee supply is going
to be adequate to meet the ra-
don demands of all consumer
and institutional users during
the first period," Mr. Prouty
emphasized, “but the problem
of distributing this supply to
the stores during the first week
or two will be relieved consid-
erably if purchasers will start
out by buying only the quan-
tity needed immediately, such
as one pound at a time for a
family. Consumers who have
coffee on hand also are asked
not to buy any coffee un.il it
is needed. This will help in the
distribution.”
Under the rationing regula-
tions, coffee is defined as green
or roasted coffee, whether
package f or not and whether
in bean or ground. It also will
include coffee mixed with
chickory, cereal, chickpeas or
similar substitutes and coffee
from which all or part of the
caffein has been removed still
will be coffee.
All retailers and wholesalers
must report to the local War
Price and Rationing Board by
December 21 the amount of
each dealer’s inventory at the
start cf rationing and the man-
ner in which this quantity of
coffee was obtained. Forms for
such reports will be made avail-
able at the War Price and Ra-
tioning Board offices.

able to continue coffee purchas-
