You may receive any shipments that were in transit as of 3 p. m. February 7, without regard to rationing. Keep records of all shoes re ceived and sold after the order became effective. At a: y time after February 12 members of the trado may de liver or ship to consumers, shoes that had been ordered by them and had been wrapped, marked or set aside for delivery before February 7. In these special cases the shoes may b. delivered without collecting ration stnmDS, Within a short time shoe retail ers will be required to open a ration banking account and to deposit theieln all of the stamps No. 17 and shoe purchase certif icates they have collected.

Concerning local cooperation with the shoe ration ing program, Drury added, "I want to call the attention of the citizens of this community to the wartime necessity of making shoes last and of buying only when new shoes are actually needed. There are plenty of shoes now to take care of all civilians and these supplies must be conserved. We must save leather for war. Our fighting forces must have the shoes they need to march to victory."
