0PA EXPLAINS POINT RATION
ING THAT WILL Be USED SOON
Not To Replace
Straight Coupon
Books Now Issued

The 0. P. A.. this week issued
an explanation of the point ra-
tioning system, which will be
put into effect shortly after the
distribution of the new war ra-
ton books sometime in Janu-
airy.
The new book will be called
war ration book No. 2, and will
be used for any rationing pro-
gram which may become nee
eSsary.
Point rationing will not re-
place straight coupon ratloning
of sugar, gasoline and coffee, but
will be used for certain new
commodities. Under it will come
groups of related or similar ar
ticles which may be substituted
for one another in actual use.
The straight coupon system may
be substituted for other new
rationing programs where it is
suitable.
Points will be used in the ra-
tioning of meat. 1t is also ex-
pected that distribution of can
ned and frozen vegetables and
fruit will require the point sys-
tenn.
In a point-rationing program,
the government will group to-
gether a number of similar or
related commodities. The same
ration coupons will be used to
buy any of these commodities.
Everyone in the country will
be entitled to use a certain
number of points each month
from war ration book 2 to buy
commodities in the group. Each
consumer may buy where he
likes.
The government will give each
article in the group a point
value" Low point-values will be
given to things which are most
plentiful in relation to usual
supply and demand, and high
er point values will be set on
articles which are Scarcer.
Each stamp will have a num-
Der, which tells the number of
points, and a letter, which in
dicates the time period when
the stamps may be used.
War ration book 2 contains
four pages of blue stamps and
