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.*’
