PAGE TWELVE THE NEWS ANP THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON June 1941 RATION F CLOTHES EYED FOR BRITAIN LONDON. June S VP The board of trade tonight announc ed rationing of almost all cloth ing, itarting immediately. The plan, prepared secretly, authorizes 68 coupons yearly for everyone and, as with wartime food dispensations, no traffic in coupons will be countenanced. The new restrictions apply to clothing, cloth, footwear and knitting wool. Hats and Infant clothing are the only exemptions. Irrespective of the price of any article specified, coupons are required for its purchase. The most expensive gown from the most exclusive west end sa lon or the cheapest frock from tiie most humble east end shop require the same number of coupons. The same rules apply also to the clothing of men, boys and girls. There is no distinction be tween the duds of duke and dockworker. Due to the Whitsuntide holi day, the order is not actually in force until Tuesday, but the early closing Saturday deprives (hoppers ol the opportunity to make eleventh hour purchases. Clothing rationing was intro duced in Germany at the start of the war, and Germans have bought on a point system," by which every article of clothing takes a certain number of points from yearly quota allowed each person. Rationing of clothes was introduced for the first time in France early this spring and has been in effect in Switzerland for some time. Personal tailors and dressma kers come under the rules, as well as stores. Coupons must be surrendered for such goods, even If the order were placed before June 1. It is illegal to buy or sell coupons although a wife, using her husband's book, may shop for him. The board of trade said one of the chief objects of the plan is to overcome bad distribution of supplies brought about by changes in the population due to evacuation. Rationing, likewise, prevents hoarding and places everyone on an equal footing, board officials said. A complicated system of allow ing coupons for each article was designed to meet the needs of the average person. "There is no need to fear we will soon be reduced to wearing bathipg suits," an official com mented. Buyers will not be limited to any one retailer. The coupons may be used at any shop. Spec ial clothes ration cards prob ably will be ready in August.

X J For fin beer all agree! "Wieland's Has the Flavorl" In Praise of Good Cooks Br EARL WHITXOCK Nothing, surely, could be less tempting to a somewhat finicky appetite than a cold boiled po- - tato. It lies 1 1 h e r e on the ; shelf of the cool- I - , a Drown un friendly thing with a challenge in its very trite ness. And yet "Jp JL potato may be S 1 sliced, thrown f into a frying-pan ' of 1 u k e warm grease and brought to the table a soggy, indigestible, or mav. hap incinerated mass of fodder. Jr, treated with care and love it may be deftly and properly simmerea in butter until it turns that golden brown that epicures' dreams are made of, it may be dashed understand ing with seasoning, sprinkled with chopped parsley and, be hold, it is a dish for the gods. Just a boiled potato! Now the rare being who can thus transform ordinary fare into heavenly comestibles, ranks as a genius just as surely as the composer who arranges little black dots on paper in the form of a symphony or the master who turns oil and col ored pigment into great paint ing. And the recipe for genius is latent plus a love for the work. Given these two things and even the common three minute egg becomes a dish of quality with white and yolk each of exactly proper consistency. nniie more elaborate viands become precious things to treas ure in memory and to smack one's lips over, in retrospect. ine reauy good cook with talent in her soul and love in her heart is civilization's finest product and mankind's greatest treasure.
