Dflcembflr28, 194t . PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON CANED DID FROZEN FOODS ON RATION LIST (Continued From Page One) canned and dried fruits and vegetables will be needed for military purposes, said: "On the average, 33 pounds of canned, frozen, or dried fruits and vegetables are expected to be available for each person in 1943 as compared with an aver age of about 46 pounds a year from 1937 to 1941." "But that doesn't mean," he said, "we will be poorly fed. At present assuming that we meet production goals and that military and lend-lease needs stay in line with present esti- mates it looks as if we will have a civilian food supply about as big as we had in the last half -of the-1930 s." , System Explained Prior to the broadcast, Donald ; E. Montgomery, retiring consum ' ers' counsel in the agriculture ' department, issued a statement 'protesting against advance an nouncement of plans for food rationing... Wickard and Elmer Davis, OWI chief, said advance an- nouncement was necessary to give the public time to become familiar with the point rationing-system, -which OPA explain- - ed as follows: - "W-ith few minor excep . t ions, such as individuals living in Institutions 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 -a. periods will be announced in Vedvance. . 96 Stamps ! . "The new point 'currency for l processed, foods will be repre . sented by', the blue stamps in . war ration book two, which con- ' tains both red and blue stamps. : There are' a' total of 96 blue , stamps and a numeral on the . face of each shows its points ; value. Each stamp also bears a : letter .-of the alphabet. These - letters designate .the ration- pe- . nod -when stamps may be used. "For example,, all blue stamps ! bearing the letters A. and B; or A through F;. or; any other com- J ! bination,.- might,' be designated -; for use during a specific pe J riod. Since each'. letter of the ; alphabet appears on stamps to- " tallng IB points-one 8 , one '8', one '2', and one. '1' the let- ters made valid in .any one pe i riod determine the number of i points that may be spent to buy '. the rationed foods. If only A '! and B stamps were validated, ' only r32-points could be spent . auring the first ration period, . : while if stamps marked A . through F were designated, the '. noider would have 96 points to ,' spena. Threa Vital Facts "There are three Important i. facts to be remembered in- this i. connection: " "L The total number of points that will be allocated to each civilian has hot 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 its supply at the time the ration pe riod is announced. "2:-Possession' of points mere- ly entitles - you to buy your , share: you must pay for the ra tioned merchandise, as usual, in dollars and cents. "3. "The 'housewife has com plete freedom of choice. She can spend her points any way she wishes, although, of course the items that are scarce will , have a higher point value, and : hence, will use up her points taster.

Pragraml I SP PASSENGER CAR HIT BY SNOJSLIDE (Continued From Page One) announced some navy personnel was aboard. The accident oc curred at 9:05 p. m. near Wico pe station 87 miles south of Eu gene, Ore. A hospital train took the in jured to Eugene and the re mainder of tiie passengers and crew continued the journey aboard the first nine cars of the 20 car train which were ahead of the slide. There were no Klamath Falls passengers aboard the third sec tion of train No. 20 which was derailed in the Cascade moun tains 129 miles north of here. Klamath passengers on Sunday's ... o. 20, including a large num ber of college students, were on the first section which passed through the mountains well ahead of the slide. Klamath passenger train serv ice was disrupted by the slide, but may be restored by late Monday or early Tuesday. No. 20, northbound on Mon day, went north by way of the Siskiyou line. Nos. 23, 17 and 15, southbound on Monday, went south by that route. Southern Pacific arranged to send Grey hound buses to Medford to pick up or take out Klamath pas sengers on these trains. Cliff Reeves, district freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, visited the scene of the derailment near Oakridge Monday morning. Local wrecking crews were not called out on the job, which was being cleaned up from, the Eugene side. A ditcher crew from Chiloquin went out to clear up a slide which occurred south of the derailment. The third section of No. 20 struck one slide and was missed by an other which came down behind it. Snow and rain in the moun tains were blamed for the slides. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) sea. Good water is available at the eastern end of the defile. Will he stand and fight?
