Coffee Rationing
Set For
November 29

Coffee rationing starts Nov. 20,
the government announced this
week.
One pound every five weeks will
be allowed for every person who was
IS or older when sugar rationing
started last May.
This works out to slightly more
than one cup day and in house
holds where children Is or older do
not drink coffee, the grownups can
have the children's share as well
as their own.
Moreover, it will still be possible
to get cup of coffee in a restau-
rant regardless of how much is used
at home. Details of the rationing
for restaurants are still to be an
nounced but it will probably follow
that of sugar, restricting CONNER
cial users to a certain percentage OF
their former consumption.
Retail sales Of coffee will be stop
ped at midnight Nov. 81 in prepara-
ton for the rationing starting at
midnight Nov. %. In that interval
grocers can stock their shelves for
the start of rationing.
The sugar ration book will be
used for coffee and no new registra-
ton will be necessary.

Dairy Workers
Draft Status
Outlined

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 29-Rep.
resentatives of MANAGEMENT and
labor in the dairving industry OF
five Western states have agreed
with War Manpower Commission
officials that men ENGAGED in dairy
ing will receive exactly the same
consideration in draft classified
tions as men building ships and
airplanes.
The policy, concurred in by reg
fona1 officers of Selective Service,
was stated as a step toward meet
ing the admittedly critical milk stu
alton.
1t was the basis of an urgent ap-
peal to mixers to stay on the
farms and to farmers as well. ask
ing the latter to carry on milk pro-
duction.
Points upon which the meeting
agreed we're:
1. Dairying is recognized as an
essential war industry.
2. Men and women engaged in
dairying are doing a patriotic duty.
8. Mixers and others in the
dairying industry should stay on
their jobs until they are advised
otherwise by regulating officials.
4. 1t is just as important to pro-
duce milk as it is to produce air
planes and ships.
