WAR BOND GOAL
SET AT $29,400
Morrow county has been assigned
a War Savings bond quota of $29,400
for the month of May, which will
be its share of the total $5,610,000 for
the state, it was announced here by
P. W. Mahoney, county chairman.
The quota figure, it is pointed
out in a communication received
from Ray Conway, state admin
istrator, is based partly on. aver
age monthly sales for the past,
and partly on the county's "ability
to pay."
Monthly quotas after June 1 will
be upped, until a total of approxi
mately $10,000,000 per month will
be reached after July, it was stated.
Ways and means of attaining these
goals will be discussed at a state
wide meeting of the Oregon War
Bonds staff, to be held in Portland
May 1 and 2. Ralph Jackson will
represent the county committee at
this session.
Citizens of this county should
realize first of all that every cent
to be raised in this drive will go to
provide guns, tanks, ships, planes
and ammunition for our armed
forces, so that we may win this war
in the shortest possible time," said
the county chairman. "However, no
one is asked to 'give' anything. Pur
chase of war bonds is an investment
and a saving, every cent of which
will return to the buyer with interest."

QfttttfH
Sugar Consumers
To Get Rationing
Books In Week
OPA Issues Informa
tion to Asssit in Sign
Up May 4, 5, 6, 7
Application for sugar rationing
books will be taken at all schools in '
Morrow county next week, May 4,
5, 6, and 7, the hours being from
4 to 6 and 7 to 9 p. m., announces
Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, county school
superintendent.
Applicants for sugar rationing
books are urged by the Office of
Price Administration to study care
fully the application card, and have
the correct answers when they reg
ister on May 4, 5, 6, and 7. A sep
arate application must be made for
every person for whom a ration
book is issued, but only one mem
ber of each family unit is to appear
at the nearest elementary school to
apply for all members of the family.
This is the biggest registration job
ever undertaken in so limited a time
in the United States. Within four
days the nation, 130,000,000 men, wo
men and children will be registered
and will receive their ration books.
To accomplish so big a job in that
short space of time, the Office of
Price Administration, which admin
isters rationing is urging every ap
plicant for a ration book to come
prepared with accurate information
to all questions . which the regis
trars will ask when filling out the
application form.
If you answer these questions
promptly OPA estimates it will only
take four minutes to fill out this
form. One and a quarter million
school teachers will serve as regis
trars. 1. Applicants should come prepar
ed with a list of the members of
their families, giving the exact name
of each.
2. An exact description of each
member of! the family unit, giving
the height, weight, color of eyes,
color of hair, age and ix of each
one. , ... .
3. The person who registers, for
the family unit must state his or
her exact relationship to each mem
ber of it.
4. It is necessary to know to the
pound just how much sugar is in
the possession of the household. The
amount of sugar will be divided by
the number of people in the family
units and stamps will be torn out
by the registrar for all sugar in ex
cess of two pounds per person.- If
more than four stamps have to be
removed, issuance of the book will
be withheld until later.
One and only one member of
each family unit is to go to the el
ementary school nearest to the per
son's residence to register and to
apply for ration books for the whole
family, OPA emphasizes. Single peo
ple not members of a family unit,
even if they board with a family,
must apply for themselves.
A family unit has been defined
by the Office of Price Administra
tion as "A group of two or more
individuals consisting of all per- "
sons who are living together in the
same household who are related by
blood or marriage."
