8 Heppner Gazette Times, December 17, 1942 Point Rationing Outlined In Late Release By Price Administration - Early in 1943 the Office of Price tioning book two for distribution. Administration will release war ra This office is in receipt of a copy of facts on point rationing, study of which is in order. For that reason we are publishing the 10 points sub mitted by the OPA with the sug gestion that they be clipped and pinned to the kitchen wall or per haps pasted in your scrapbook. 1. Point rationing will be intro duced to Americans early in 1942 when war rationing book two ia distributed . 2. The purpose of point rationing ia to guarantee everyone a fair share of scarce but essential goods while at the same time giving ev ery one a variey to choose from. 3. There are three chief differ ences between point rationing and the coupon rationing which is now in effect for sugar and coffee. 4. The first important difference is this: Under straight coupon ra tioning, one single coupon entitles the customer to buy a specific amount of a single commodity, such as, one sugar coupon entitles you to buy three pounds of sugar. But in point rationing, one set of coupons covers a whole group of commodities. For instance, your week's meat rationing coupons en title you to choose your ration freely between beef, pork, lamb or mutton. 5. The second important differ ence is this: The coupons in point rationing are of different denomi nations. Those to be spent in one week for example, will include a one-point coupon, a two-point cou pon and an eight-point coupon. 6. The third important difference is this: The various rationed items within one group will have differ ent point values.For example, ten derloin steak, being relatively scar cer, might have a high point value and requre a larger number of coupons, while hamburger, being available in greater quantities, would have a lower point value. Thus, in exchange for a ration coupon worth, eight points, the housewife might be able to obtain one pound of tenderloin steak or four pounds of hamburger.. (Point values haven't been set yet .Values used here are for illustration only.) 7. The government will set the point value of each item within the group of rationed products and is sue an official list. Point values will be based on available supplies and will vary as supplies of particular items increase or decrease. 8. War ration book two will have four pages of blue stamps and four pages of red stamps. The blue stamps will be used for the first group of goods to be rationed by points. The red stamps will be used for the second group of point-rationed goods. 9. The number on each stamp tells how many points the stamp is worth. The letter on each stamp tells what period it is good in. The government will announce these periods in advance. 10. Everybody who was eligible for war ration book one (he sugar and coffee book) is eligible for the wer ration book two. If you do not have book one, apply to your local war price and rationing board on or before Dec. .15..

Schoonover Sunday, Dec. 13, he was the fourth member of that family whose birthday was on the 13th of the month. Mrs. Schoonover started the 13 cycle and when her first child was born on the 13th it was thought a coincidence. Then the second child came along, choosing the 13th for the date of arrival. That, too, was a coincidence but the parents began to wonder, and now with the third child born on the 13th they knew not what to think. None of the birthdays are in the same month. Mrs. Schoonover is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Way of Lex MOISTURE PLENTIFUL Moisture is plentiful in the Social Ridge area, according to Roy Camp bell who was in town Monday.
