good for will be publicly an
nounced.
@. Can I save up the stamps
and get all my sugar at one
time?
A. No. Each stamp is good for
only the announced period.
@. Do we each have to take
our war ration books in person
to the store in order to buy
sugar?
A. No. Anyone may take your
war ration book to buy sugar
provided they are buying sugar
for you. The mother or the
father or any one of the chill
dren, or anyone connected with
a family may take some or all
the books to the grocer to buy
the entire households sugar
supply.
O. Suppose I do not buy u
gar at all?
A. There is no occasion for
you to buy sugar except as
you need it. But keep your war
ration book carefully. I may, at
a later time. be necessary to use
it for other commodities if they
are rationed.
@. May I tear out a stamp
and take it to the store to buy
sugar?
A. No. You must take the war
ration book with you and tear
out the stamp in the presence
of the storekeeper or his en-
ployees.
@. Suppose I order sugar by
telephone?
A. Before the person making
the delivery can give you the
sugar you must show him the
war ration book, or the fam
ily's ration books, and in his
presence tear out enough
stamps - not more than one
from each book - to cover the
amount of sugar you have or
dered. He cannot give you more
sugar than your stamps allow
even if it has been sent. He
would have to take the balance
back to the store. Give the per-
son delivering the sugar the
stamps you tear out of the war
ration books.
@. What if I need more sugar
than I get with my war ration
book?
A. If it is absolutely neces-
sary for you or your family to
have more sugar for home can
ming, illness or some other Spe-
cial reason, you may go to your
local rationing board. They will
decide whether you can have
this sugar, and how much you
can have. They may then issue
you a special certificate per-
hitting you to buy a specified
amount of sugar for a specified
purpose. You will not need to
use the war ration book or
books in buying sugar with this
certificate.
| Q. What do I do if my war
ration book is lost, stolen, de-
Stroyed, or mutilated?
A. Report the facts to the
local rationing board at once.

book hme to my family to use?
A. No. Your war ration book
is issued to be used by or for
you. The sugar it permits you
to buy is intended to be used
by you or by the family of
which you are a member and
with whom you live.
@. Do these war ration stamps
entitle me to get sugar for no.

A. No. They only entitle you
to buy sugar. They determine
the amount of sugar you or
anyone else may buy.
@. Do I have to buy sugar be-
cause I have a war ration book?
A. No. The war ration book
gives you the right to buy GER
tain amounts of sugar. If you
do not need sugar do not buy
it.
@. If my family has enough
stamps can we buy more than
2 pounds of sugar at a time?
A. Yes. You can buy as much
sugar as your family's stamps
entitle them to in the period
during which these stamps are
valid.
@. I make candy and cakes
and sell them to make money.
How can I get sugar I need for
these?

local rationing board. They may
give you a special certificate to
use to get the sugar you are
allowed for your business.
Q. I live in a boarding house.
May I have a book just the
same?
A. Yes. You may.

anyone who failed to register
will have to wait two weeks
before applying to his local
rationing board (not the school)
for a war ration book.
