Point Rationing System Seen
as Solution in Restaurants

The point system of food and
other rationing is the federal gov
ernment's answer TO cities with
special population problems, the
Board of Commerce was told today
by Office of Price Administration
representatives.
Restaurant quotas are based on
their December 1912 purchases
which appear to be adequate for
Ipsilanti needs, says the Board
OF Commerce in pointing out that
the population has not greatly in
creased here since that date.
Paul Ungrodt, secretary Of the
Board of Commerce, says Local
citizens who have facilities for eat
ing at home should do so and not
make an effort to save their ration
coupons. The people who think
they can eat fourth and fifth meal
in the restaurants are not cooperat-
ing and will surely upset the gov.
ernment's plan. The people must
realize that we are in war. That
they simply cannot eat as much as

Just how far the order would 60
and whether it would provide a
weapon TO forestall a threatened

a matter OF speculation.

Their present contract expires
at midnight March 81. Unless a
new contract is in force. miners
generally will fail to report for

Hints we're already abroad that
the government planned to take
over more drastic control of coal
mines. Secretary OF Interior Ickes,
who also is solid fuels COORDINATION
