Boorders and Domestic Servants Must File
Separate Forms for Ration Book No. 2

SePurute Forms
Domestic servants and boarders
must fill out separate consumer
| declarations" for war ration book
No. 2 even though they eat all their
meals with the family. the Office
Of Price Administration ruled today.
In declaring that it is illegal to
| include servants or boarders on
family consumer declarations. the
OPA defined a family unit" as
| those persons belonging to the
family and living in the household" +"
Thus the houSekeeper, servant.
rcomer or friend who lives and eats
with the family is still not consid-
cred a member and must fill out a
separate ration form.
Family Arrangements.
We didn't set a hard and fast
rule about servants and roomers be-
cause we wanted to let each house
wife work out her own arrange
ments with people who eat at her
house" said an OPA spokesman.
He said that the person VINO eats
all meals under one roof should
turn over complete use of his ration
book to the housewife. With the
servant who eats only one or two
meals a day at the house, said the
OPA, the housewife should work
out an arrangement for partial use
Of the individuals ration book.
If housewife has an excess of
cans, the roOmer or servant who
eats at the house can agree to claim
possession of five of the cans and
relieve the housewife of the necessity
OF declaring that number. No matter
now many cans housewife has over
her quota, the OPA will not take
away more than half her coupons
from War Ration Book Nc. 2. A
record will be kept of the excess.
however, and possibly" be applied
on registration for another future
ration book.
Not Family Unit"
Groups of girls living in all apart
ment are also rot considered
family unit.s said the spokesman,
and must fill out separate ceclara-
tionS.
The National OPA also announced
today that boxes for Victory"
books were being set up at registra-
zion centerS all over the country so
that consumers could contribute to
the book campaign when they came
to register, Mrs. Philip Sidney
Smith, local Victory" book chair
man, has co-operated with the local
administrators in setting up book

your tact and On your integrity.
