RATION BOARDS
DECISION UPHELD
District Food Officer Cor
roborates Local Ac-
tion On Points

r. B. Roberts, OPA district food
rationing officer, in letter to the
New Hanover War Price and Ra-
tioning board Tuesday, upheld that
agency's decision to refuse the
loan of extra meat rationing
points to restaurants threatening
to close for week to 10 days in
August for lack of meat.
Rationing officials had maintain
ed their intention of abiding by
OPA regulations in the face OF
threats and without consultation
with the Raleigh force.
Mr.. Roberts pointed out that the
practice of loaning points will have
to be discontinued by all boards,
and further explained that the
meat situation is so critical that
eve must not permit an operator
of an eating establishment to get
heavily in debt to the board, as
he will surely have to account for
it later. It is much better for op-
orators to Work out their salvation
at the present time rather than
dUlay it a month or so.
A bulletin is currently being
prepared which will set forth
methods of accounting for supple
mental allotments issued in the
first two ration periods, he said.
All the extra allotments will have
to be accounted for, and if excess
points have been issued they will
have to be deducted from Septem-
ber-October allotments.
"This means that some opera
tors who have received supple
mental allotments will find their
operation handicapped in the four
ration period" he continued.
For businesses to merit addition
al ration points, it is absolutely
necessary for the INTO show sub
stantial increases over figures of
the base month, Mr.. Roberts spe-
Gifted.

Lancaster, Cook Stage
Tight Mound Duel; Game
Time Exactly 40 Minutes

The Coast Guard softballers
made successful debut into the
Hanover League yesterday by de.
feating the Star News lads 20 in
the fastest ball game yet recorded
by the league. The total time OF
the tilt was marked as exactly 49
minutes.
Spectacular fielding and three
Newsie errors were a great aid to
the Coast Guardsmen. During the
tilt the winners flashed across no
less than five double plays, but
were held to a mere three safeties
by the excellent hurting of Roy
Cook. Knight, with long homer
to left center in the third session,
gathered the only extra base blow
of the ball game.
The loser squad led the batting
with four hits, but were unable
to bunch them, and their ability
not to play heads-up ball in the
pinches was handicap.
Rudy Gieschen, star center
fielder of the losers, was the
"man' with the stick with two
hits in two official trips to the
platter.

curtailment should begin with the

stormed WPB offices in protest OF
the curtailment Of newsprint.
