Lt. Frank L. Moore, post ex­

tain luxury items are now limited
at all the PXs within Camp Adair.
Lt Moore declared that this is “be­
ing done so that the boys over­
seas can have everything they
want.
Included in the rationed items
are chewing gum, not to exceed
two packages per sale; candy bars,
not to exceed two bars per sale;

The exchange officer reports
that the purpose of limiting candy
and gum is to conserve sugar.

Lt. Moore said although there is
plenty of tobacco that the scar­

supply enough cigars for the boys
in this country as well as those
overseas.
“The rationing within the con­
tinental United States was put
into effect so that it would be
possible to give soldiers in foreign
theaters everything they want
