OPA Appeals to Home Gamers
To Surrender Ration Stamps

The American housewife has been
placed on the honor system by the
Once of Price administration.
All that OPA asks her to do is to
make ration stamps saved by home
canning invalid.
There will be no OPA inspector
peering over her shoulder to see
that everything is on the "up and
up" If, perchance, she fails to re-
member about the coupons there is
really very little the OPA can do
about it.
Ration points permit the purchase

Food stamps received from the sale
of home canned goods are supposed
to be turned in to local rationing
boards at the rate of eight points a
quart.
Ration boards so far have not
been swamped by housewives COM
ing in to present blue stamps

boards.

presses his appreciation for the
Examiner and goes on to tell of his
life there. 81 have been in over
seas service eight months now and
am stationed on an island in the
South West Pacific. We suffered
many hardships at first but now we
have reached the point where we
are as comfortably set up as most
camps in the states. Our unit Is
living In pre-fabricated hutments
with sky blue walls, screened win
dows and electric lights. We even
have a homemade shower. with
hot and cold running water. which
Is the envy of all the camps on the

Is no social life here. The natives
are OF the jet-black type, and what
they say in the movies about the
south sea Isles isn't true If this
place is any example. Polynesian
girls in grass skirts dancing to
weird native music on the beach In

of movies three nights a week and
