JUDGE ALBURY ISSUES EDICT TO

Thousands of manpower hours

AS a result of this movement,

were arrested yesterday by Con-
stable Jose Espinosa, who covers
Justice Esquinaldo's district.

LONDON DEMANDS
YOUNG DANCE BANDS
(By Associated "ress)

LONDON, Feb. 20.-''Too old at
forty" is written over the en-
trance to most of Britain's dance
bands. Youth is in demand, re-
port dance circles, because people
who listen and dance to the music
are generally allergic to grey
haired orchestras. AS a result,
many young London dance band
players. earning an average of
$28 weekly before the war, are
now getting up to $3.50 for a "a
hour week.
They are not all experienced
players, said a Musicians Union
official, ''but they are young and
good-looking. Some have been
invalided out of the forces, others
are medically unfit to serve"

FAIR SHARE FOR EVERYBODY
Point Rationing Guarantees You and Every Other
Person A Fair and Equal Share OF Scarce Foods!
By CHAUNCEY w. BUTLER
State OPA Director

( Floridians will fall in step with
the about home front effort of
their British allies when the point
rationing system goes into effect
in this country, February %
But our rationing program will
not be identical with the one the
British have been using since
May. 194l. Certain points of the
English system will be utilized,
but the point rationing system as
Florida's citizens will know it
will be an American plan, design
ed by Americans for conditions in
America
3. Our important difference will be
if1ss the way meat rationing will
besflandled When meat rationing
starts here, at some later date, it
will be under the point system.
The British do ration meat, but
they do not use point system for
it.
Unlike" the English who first
used the point system to buy
clothing. Americans will first use
the point system only for pro-
cessed and canned foods. No
clothing rationing plan has been
announced yet by the Office of
Price Administration
Yet in basic ways the English
and American systems will be
alike. Rich and poor, old and
young, baby and adult will have
exactly the same number of
points to spend on rationed foods.
Like British housewives, who,
according to reports by reliable
observers, have learned to well
come the point rationing, Florida
homemakers will find that it pro-
vides them an equitable share of
rationed foods for the family din
ner table.
When they go to the store to
buy food. Florida shoppers will
have to think about two prices,
the cash price and the point price.
Whether they can afford the cash
price depends upon their pocket
books. Whether they can afford
the point price depends on how
many stamps are left in the ration
book. Naturally. the more low
point items chosen the longer the
total number of coupons for any
period will last.
