Heppner Gazette Times, July 29, 1943 5 Coffee Sitation Improves; Stamp No Longer Needed Coffee drinkers throughout the land should draw a sigh of relief over President Roosevelt's an nouncement Wednesday evening that the coffee situation has improved to the point where the ration stamp is no longer needed. Suggestions that use of the stamp might be discarded have been circulated through the press and over the radio in recent weeks and authority was given in the president's announcement. Housewives will be glad to learn that the OPA has allowed increased amounts of sugar this year for jams, jellies and preserves, the district OPA announced today. Out of the tcp limit of 25 pounds of scgar per person permitted for home canning of this season's fruit crop, 5 pounds per person may be used for jams and jellies, it was ex plained. This is a more generous allowance than last year when su gar for preserves was limited to one pound per person. Stamps 15 and 16 in war ration book 1 are good for 5 pounds of su gar each so this reduces the amount of sugar which can be issued by local rationing boards to 15 pounds. It was emphasized by the OPA that tiie 25 pounds is a maximum al lowance and that total sugar re quirements of most consumers, bas ed on one pound per four quarts of EDWARD OVRO NOLL Funeral services for Edward Oyro Neill, 62, were held from the Phelp Funeral home at 2 o'clock p. m.

Housewives are urged by the OPA to put up more fruit at home so there will be less demand on the limited civilian supply of commer cially packed foods. Millions of sol diers and war workers depend en tirely on commercially packed foods, so every can of the commercial pack saved for them by home can ning is a direct contribution to the war effort.

CAMP MEETING SLATED Heppner members of the Assem bly of God church are planning to juiy.August-September alloca ing, lard salad and cookin oils, the Office of Price Administration an nounced yesterday. hese changes are made in the fifth OPA official table of consu mer point values for meats, fats and dairy products which is effective from Aug. 1 through Sept. 4. In contrast to previous months, the changes in meat values are ne gligible, with the major revisions confined to the fats and oils groups. The two point increase in the value of butter, which places the ration cost of this item at 10 points per pound, is offset to some extent by the cut of one point in lard, salad and cooking oils and shortening. No change is made in the value of margarine, which remains at the July figure of four points per pounds. For teh past several months, it was explained, the rationed demand for butter has been running about five per cent in excess of the amount allocated for civilian use. If this trend continued unchecked, sup plies might shrink to an uncomfor table low level by the latter part of attend a series of camp meetings to be conducted by that faith at Free- water, beginning Aug- S and con' tion quarter Accordingly, the point, value has been raised to 10 points pound for August as against """.'l " --o r ruT i .1 .1 A - in TT J unuing uirougn Aug i . f" an eight point value since the start speatcer wiu pe xvev. ktic ivi. duam- rationinff The point values of all popular vtv9 of rriAaf will h th samo in superintendent, Salem, also has August as during the present month, been scheduled as a speaker. son, returned missionary rrom ai rica.
