Uae--Chronicle Want Ada Hospital Auxiliary Notes Proceeds from the membership Tag Day and annual ball will be us'^d this year purchasing fur nishings for the nurses home. Mrs. W. L. Goodale, chairman of the auxiliary publicity committee, in a statement this week said In part: “As yot^ know, a hospital cannot be operated without nurses. We wish to encourage and make happy and comfortable all girls who have chosen the Camden hospital for their training. ‘We know that every girl who elects to study to become a nurse wants the room In which she lives to be restful and properly furnish ed. W© think so too and for that reason we are going to bend every effort this year to make enough money to furnish 16 rooms attrac tively and adequately. We also want to provide a kitchenette. “These objectives are a two year project to which auxiliary mem bers have set their hearts and minds." . . New Sugar Stamp Has Double Value To avoid the substantial expense of printing and distributing new sugar ration books, all sugar stamps made valid on or after April 1, 1947, will be good for 10 pounds of sugar, A. D. Simpson, Jr., OPA regional sugar executive, said today in At lanta. Spare Stamp No. 53, now valid for five pounds of sugar, will ex pire for consumer use at midnight on March 31 and a new stamp, good for 10 pounds of sugar, will be validated on April 1 to cover both home canning and regular Tiome use, Simpson stated. He added that the number of the next valid stamp will be announced at a later date. It Is necessary, Simpson said, to terminate Stamp No. 53 a month earlier than originally announced <a ol'der to avoid the serious trad** problem of handling both five and 10 pound stamps at the same time The change is being announced now to give all consumers adequate opportunity to “cash” Stamp No. 63 before It expires^ Previously, Simpson explained, stamps have been validated for five pounds of sugar—some for regular home use and some for home can ning purposes. No special stamps for home canning sugar will be validated in the future and the stamps made valid during the rest of 1947 will provide sugar for both purposes, he said. Additional 10- pound stamps will be made valid periodically as the sugar supply permits. “It is Importnat,” Simpson em phasized, “that housewives plan the use of the sugar they get from these 10-pound stamps so as to cover both their household and home canning needs. “Although it seems fairly certain that sugar supplies will increase during 1947, the exact amount of the Increase is not known. It is impossible therefore to state the total amount of the sugar ration for 1947 or the dates on which ad ditional stamps will be validated later In the year.*’ Attention: What married men pay to everyone but their wivea.
