TO BE STRICTER SAYS OPA CHIEF C-C WEEK TO BE OBSERVED JANUARY 14 TO 21 Paul Selby, president of the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce, announced today that the week of January 14-21 is being observed nationally as "Junior Chamber of Commerce Week." On January 22 the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce will celebrate its 23th anniversary, with over 800 local organizations joining with the Mcdford Junior Chamber of Commerce in staging Founder's Day banquets. It was on January 21, 1920, that the Junior Chamber of Commerce movement was founded in St. Louis with 12 organizations as the original nucleus. The Junior Chamber of Commerce in Medford was or ganized on October 17, 104. The local organization is staging its Founder's Day ban quet on Saturday, January 20. Prophesying that stricter food rationing, which began during the holidays with cancellation of unused stamps and Increased points, will continue for most of 1945, a statement on the food situation has been Issued by Verne F. Livesay, regional agri cultural adviser for OPA in six western states. ' Pointing out that the stock of commercially canned vegetables on December 1, 1944, was but 56 per cent of the quantity on hand for civilians 12 months previous, Livesay said that needs of the armed forces are expected to remain heavy. Sugar rations will be severely tightened, Live say predicted, and said that can ning coupons for no more than 700,000 tons can be issued in the 1945 season, compared to 1,500,- uuu tons last season. This is due to the fact that 1945 will see no more than 5,400,000 tons avail able for civilians as against 6,100,000 in 1944, 5,700,000 in 1943 and 7,350,000 tons in 1941. Livesay says. "Food rationing must be placed on a pay-as-you-go basis." Livesay said. "During the next lew months and perhaps through 1945, ration stamps will be only good on the basis of the fairest distribution obtainable. Short ages in some items, such as but ter, may continue. The choice and variety of meats and canned fruits and vegetables may con tinue to be spotty in some cities but as closely as possible, point values will be maintained to as sure the shopper a reasonable choice of rationed foods." As for the farmer on the pro duction battleline, Mr. Livesay emphasized that the stricter ra tioning move was a direct result of the current European military situation and future military pro graming rather than any failure by agriculture to accomplish its patriotic production task.
