relishes; paste products. such as
spaghetti macaroni, noodles; and
potato salad.
Henderson emphasized that fresh
fruits and vegetables and home
canned and processed foods are eX-
empt from the provisions of the
new ration program.
POINTS SYSTEM
Meanwhile, he will begin recruit
ing 100000 volunteers to handle
registration of consumers and to in
form the public how the points"
ration system works.
Every member { the civilian pop
ulation-from the new born infant
to the most elderly person-will
have exactly the same number of
coupon points to spend during each
ration period, expected to be about
a month in duration. The periods
will be announced in advance. Point
values for various foods will be
identical throughout the country
and housewives will be able to shop
in an store they choose with com
plete freedom of choice on which
foods they elect to spend theil
coupons.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-12-28
DIFFERENT VALUES

But housewives will have to bud
get their coupons, much as they do
their money. Foods that are scarce
will have higher point values.
This will be the 10th rationing
program put into effect by OPA.
Already rationed are coffee, sugar.
automobiles, tires, gasoline, fuel oil,
bicycles, typewriters and heavy duty
rubber footgear. In addition to meat
rationing which is on the near hor-
lion. officials expect soon to ration
dairy products, especially butter
and cheese.
The radio addresses OF Wickard
and Davis last night were de signed
to explain the necessity for this
move-described b. Henderson as
"one of the largest efforts of the
kind ever undertaken"
Highlights of Wickard's address.
The new program is expected to
provide each person an average of
33 pounds of canned, dried or frozen
foodstutfs a year-about Is pound 3;
less than the comparable yearly
average between 1874, but enough
to insure a well balanced and
healthful diet"

He was cited for bravery.
After the war Warren WAS an
officer of the first troops to garri-

retired from active military sery-
ice in 1929. Until 1884 ne was
engaged in business in Chicago,
returning to Tacoma in that year
to make his residence.
During the past several months
Warren was engaged in the or

boards in this state.

federal government in the matter
of waging war but also considerable
of the individual interests OF citi-
zens OF the city.
Many improvements are neces-

united cooperation.
When the war has ended in VIC

(2l Prevent the building of a
