Ask forJELK HORN BEER New Ration Book Due in December; To Be Last One Gasoline Book Also Due To That Time WASHINGTON, July 24 (UP) Price chief Chester Bowles an nounced today 150,000,000 copies of war ration book five which he hopes will be OPA's last will be distributed between Dec. 3 and 15. At the same time, he said 23, 000,000 motorists will get new "A" gasoline books, the third edi tion since gas rationing began. The agency hopes, Bowles'said, these will be the last of the war time ration series and that there will be plenty of stamps in them "we won't have to use." Short Supply Bowles said book five was de signed to serve from 10 to 15 months because "it looks as if a ration book will be needed at least through most of next year." He said the supply agencies the department of agriculture and war production board has in formed OPA meats and fats, can ned goods, sugar and shoes "all will be in tight supply for some months to come." Bowles described book five as "smaller than a dollar bill" and as much of a delight to a house wife's eyes as a ration book can be. He said the stamps are the same size as in book four but the number and letter combina tion is "out." Less Work "All the housewife and grocer have to remember is that stamps of certain nirmbe-s are good," he said. Both book five and the "A" gasoline books will be handed out by school teachers in public buildings throughout the country. The new gasoline book, with five sets of stamps for a 15-month period, will become effective Dec. 22. Ration book five will not go into use before Jan. 1.

A meeting ot the Colorado res taurant association, representing about 100 of Denver's largest res taurants, will be held Thursday where members will vote on a proposal to shut down for a week. Rex.
