operated without the S. auto use
tax stamp which was supposed to have
been purchased by automobile owners
by July I, has been announced by the

federal stamp, and the internal rev.
enue official in Cumberland said
similar steps would be taken in his
territory.
The agents would "call attention"
of the motorists to their violation, and
the Baltimore official indicated it
might be "little early" to put on
strict drive for enforcement of the
regulation.
An estimated 100000 Maryland
motorists have failed to purchase the
stamps. While 417,Sl9 automobiles
and trucks have been registered in
the state thus far this year, the as

Persons who fail to obey the regu-
lation are guilty of misdemeanor
and subject to fine of $25 and costs
Enforcement of the regulation is up
to federal authorities.

OPA Regulation
Allows Farmers to
Sell Their Butter

The local War Price and Rationing
Board announces that although butter
is frozen in the markets this week, the
Office of Price Administration has
issued a statement to the effect that
farmers, who have no refrigeration,
will be permitted to sell butter to
their regular customers.
1t has also been announced that,
contrary to previous regulations, no
stamps or certificate will be required
to purchase dried beans and peas for
seeding purposes.
The local OPA office further an
nounces that renewals of all transport
mileage rations will be mailed direct
to the holders of certificates of War
Necessity Therefore, attention is
called to the fact that it will not be
necessary for truck owners to call at
the local Rationing Board for their
renewal ration books, and it is
especially requested that they not do
so, as all Interruptions at the office
will only delay the work Of the office
force in preparing and mailing these
transport rationS.

Persons To Get Two
Pounds Meat Weekly

Americans facing meat and fats
rationing got the news yesterday that
each will have to get along on an
overall total Of two pounds a week,
or less, if only such items as butter
and the better grade meats are pur-
chased.
But one who is willing to take cleo
margarine instead of butter, beef
livers instead of beefsteak or pork
spareribs instead of pork chops can
have larger share.
The list puts butter, sliced bacon,
cheese and most of the better cuts of
beef together at points a pound, but
other meat products range on down
to as low as I point a pound for pigs
feet and pig ears. Each person is al
lowed Is points a week.
Dried beef will go for II points per
pound. Boneless ham slices and Ca
madam bacon call for II, and bone
less whole hams or pork loins for 10.
In the 9-point class are boneless sir
loin steak, dry salami and hard dry
sausages. All canned fish is points
a pound.
An official table Of consumer point
values is being published in today's
issue.
