POINT VALUES REDUCED Numerous reductions in the point values of rationed : ■ foods, particularly pork and some can ned vegetables have been an nounced by OPA for the period Alii be.sharply higher. T . Vealv lairib. and mutton poin values, as well as those for but ter, cheese and’all other rationec fats and dairy products Will bt the same for March as in Fejbru ary. ^ „ The greatest reductions in mea point values are found J in pork items, with the exception o‘ sparerlbs. These reductions nov bring the average point value o; pork down to 1.7 points pe pound. Beef cuts used for roasts rib steaks and stews are also re duced. With the cut in canned vege table values, these are now th lowest since rationing started. Tomatoes were cut by half, peas more than two-thirds and corr values also were substantially re duced. •' Full credit for the cut in can ned vegetable point values was given by OPA to last year’s vic tory gardeners. In a statement. E. H. Talbert, District Director of OPA at Columbia, said: “Victory gardeners did a mag- nificient job last year. We hope more Victory gardens will be planted this year, since the na tion will need all the food it can produce. Moreover, future ration points are dependent on our 1944 Victory gardens.” NEW GASOLINE COUPONS After March 1, 1944, every mo torist who receives a renewal of his “B” and “C” supplemental gasoline rations and every farmer or other off-highway user who gets new “E” and “R” coupons will receive, instead of the ration book he is accustomed to, a strip of coupons in a cardboard folder, each coupon bearing a number. Serial number of coupons is one’ of OPA’s strongest weapons against the black market, an OPA statement said, because it makes it possible to warn gasoline deal ers and OPA inspectors to be on the lookout for stolen coupons. fad Lai * ’ , *» ■V; U i t' • y f tv?.*? * r >• .1 A » March 5 through April 1, but Moreover, the serial number on a rationed values of canned fruits! coupon identifies the part of the War Food Administrator i MARVIN JONES M-r- M’H 1 Hi very farmer has a direct, personal in- > terest in the shortage of pulpwood because • 1 so many pulpwood products such as car tons, wraps, liners, pads and hags, enter into the marketing of his own farm prod ucts. “Uncle Sam’s pulpwood needs of 14,- 000,000 cords in 1944 are keyed to the in vasion of Hitler’s conquered Europe.

The new coupons will be receiv ed by local boards in rolls like theater tickets. From these rolls, boards will tear off just enough coupons to equal the gallonage value of the coupons to which the applicant is entitled. OPA also emphasized that the switch to serially numbered cou pons does not mean that endorse ment of coupons can be aban- doned and motorists will be re- luired to endorse the new cou pons with their license number. NEW SHOE STAMP COMING Another ration stamp—yet to be designated—will be made valid for buying one pair shoes on piration date has been announced for it. o!pa said it could not announce definitely its program for ration ing sugar for home canning at this time, but it is not expected that allocations of sugar by the war food administration will necessi tate a reduction from last year’s allowance for canning sugar. TIRE QUOTAS INCREASED March rationing quotas of tires and tubes show slight increases over February in passenger and truck tire allocations and a de crease in the farm tractor and im plement field.

RATION POINT VALUE OF LARD Because 50,000 more pounds of lard became available in March, this commodity was, in effect, re moved from the ration list, at least temporarily. Even though the March point value charts show lard at three points per pound, shoppers should not give up stamps for lard and OPA has asked store keepers to correct the printed list showing lard to have a point 'alue of zero.
