San Francisco, Dec. 31 (Delayed) The last day of 1942
and not sorry to see the old year go! From the standpoint of the
war, which of course is the most important thing, 1942 did a grand
Job with Garrison finish. The entire complexion of this epoch
ii.sk ing conflict was transformed in the final three months of the
12 from defensive, losing war to an offensive and winning one.
So history will put old 1942 in high niche in the hall of fame.
But from a purely personal standpoint the year wasn't so hot and
on the whole Lady Luck took a complete vacation. The details,
however, are scarcely of sufficient general Interest to chronicle
here though they would interest the False Friends club.

From this hotel room we can look across the bay toward
Marin County where yesterday four airplanea crashed FOUR of
them! Yesterday's air attack on Germany from England only cost
five. And now in the morning paper we read about two more, one
in Montana, another near Tampa, Florida. In all 18 killed. And
in each case apparently the cause was not bad flying or careless
ness but the weather. We realize the official answer will be the
tremendous number of planes in the air, and no doubt that is a
big factor, but we still contend there is too great a tendency to
send up inexperienced pilots in dangerous weather. True war is
more dangerous, but even in combat they make allowances for
the weather, so certainly even greater allowances should be made
In training.
The old editorial noggin is still vibrating from that bus trip
In the veteran of the Marne certainly we got our exercise that
day, whether we liked it or not. The young driver's hands vibrated
un the steering wheel so violently a candid camera would have
shown them approximately the size of hams. Experts might
guage the age of the conveyance closely by noting the speedometer
was made of brass, not much larger than a wrist watch and was
connected with a brass-ring curving contraption which wound
like a snake through the footboard. The speed seldom exceeded
35 miles an hour but the sensation was one of headlong flight the
commotion was so tremendous.
But of course one has no right to complain. The Greyhound
not only doesn't solicit business, but pays good money in advertis
ing to shoo it away. So does the S. P. for that matter and when
the S. P. refuses to take the money, BROTHER, there IS some
thing new afoot! One wonders what the travel would be if the
people were not advised against it, or the usual effort made to
get it. As It is there were three busses from Redding to San
Franclso, all full to the doors, and in most of the busses passen
gers were standing in the aisles. The larger stations along the way
were packed like big-game entrances 10 minutes before the
whistle. Certainly if transportation business doesn't prosper
these times there must be something seriously amiss somewhere.

To old friends of the Fairmont in 'the valley it might be of
interest to learn a coffee shop has been opened in the catacombs
that it beneath the lobby floor. The Fairmont is one of the few
modern and popular big city establishments which has operated
throughout the coffee shop era without one. The main dining
room and the Venetian room were the only places one could eat
until the Circus bar was opened but at last the old gal we always
think of the Fairmont somehow as feminine a Mid-Victorian
dowager with a rope of pearls dangling from a very ample bossom
has succumbed, when one wonders if it is too late.

We spent Christmas Eve on a Pullman once not deliberately
but it was a most interesting and enjoyable experience. That was
on a railroad known as the Grand Trunk and the snow slide was
somewhere near Montreal as we recall it. We were expected home
Christmas morning but didn't get there until the 26th and had
another Christmas, with more combined gayety and rejoicing In
the two Chrlstmases than had ever been the case before, or since.
And did we live high all Christmas Day at Mr. Pulman's exDense!
Oh that was a number of years ago we recall distinctly the Can
adian Pullman illuminated the proceedings with soma form of
coal-gas lamps with colored glass covers! (If that doesn't date it

they cannot be distributed on

hand he will have to declare be

Rationing will be precedentea
by a brief suspension of retail
sale, so that retailers may have
an opportunity to prepare for
operations under the program.
Issuance of new war ration
books will take place during this
period and upon the effective
date of the program retailers
should be in a position to honor
ration stamps for all consumers.
Very few commercially pro
cessed fruits and vegetables will
be exempt from the rationing
regulations, whether in the re
tail store or already ln the cup
board of a consumer.
Embraced ln the broad cate
gories of rationed items are
more than 200 kinds of fruit.
and vegetables, juices and soups,
and a great variety of brands,!
grade, and sizes and shapes of
containers.
Purchasing Simple
The mechanics of their pur
chase by the public under the
program are simple.
With a few minor exceptions,
such as individuals living in in
stitutions every member of the
civilian population from the
new born infant to the oldest
inhabitant will have exactly the
same number of points to spend
during each ration period. These
periods will be announced ln
advance.
Point value, will be identical
in every .tore in the country
and a housewife may .hop for
the family ln any store she likes.
The new point "currency" for
processed foods will be repre
sented by the blue stamps in war
ration book two, which contains
both red and blue stamps. There
are a total of 98 blue stamps and
a numeral on the face of each
show, its point value. Each
stamp also bears a letter of the
alphabet. These letter, designate
the ration period when .tamps
may be used.
For example, all blue stamps
bearing the letters A and B: or
A through F; or any other com
bination, might be designated
for use during a specific period
Since each letter of the alphabet
appear, on stamp, totaling 16
points one 8, ' one "a," one
'2," and one "1" the letters
made valid ln any one period
determine the number of points
that may be spent to buy the
rationed foods. If only A and B
stamps were validated, only 32
points could be spent during the
first ration period, while If
stamps marked A through F
were designated, the holder
would have 86 points to spend.
Three Main Points
There are three Important
facts to be remembered in this
connection:
1. The total number of points
that will be allotted to each
civilian has not yet been deter
mined; nor has the specific point
value of any of the foods to be
rationed. Points will be set for
each commodity according to itt
supply at the time the ration per-
ioa is announced.
2. Possession of point, merelv
entitles you to buy your share;
you must pay for the rationed
merchandise, as usual, in dol.
lars and cents.
3. The housewife has comnlete
freedom of choice. She can snend
her points any way the wishes.
although, of course, the items
that are scarce will have a hleh-
er point value, and hence, will
use up ner points faster.
food stores will be renutred
to display prominently an nffl.

It 1. not expected that it will

There art three main points
the consumer should remember
about war ration book two:
1. The color of the stamps
(there are both red and blue)
identifies the rationed commodi.
ties. Blue for the processed foods
program. Red will be used later
for meats.
2. The letter of the alphabet
on the stamp designates the ra
tion oeriod during which the
stamp may be used. These per
iods will be announcea in aa
vance.
3. The number on the stamp
it itt point value.
The storekeeper uses the point
stamps he collects to buy from
hit supplier with complete free
dom of choice. He can use points
taken In for com, for example,
to buy asparagus, or any other
of the rationed items, according
to the requirement, of his business.
The supplier. In turn uset the
stamps to buy from the canner,
or from another supplier again
with the freedom of choice.
Since the point values are the
same in every store throughout
the nation, the retailers bus!
ness in these rationed foods will
be limited only by the point
value of the stamps he takes in
from his customers. This, plus
his freedom of choice in re
stocking rationed foods, main
tain, competition in the trade.
The point system require, a
minimum of record keeping on
the part of the storekeeper.
