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

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
