Ration Tokens
Due February IL;
Plan Explained

How the new rationing program
using ration tokens, which will go
into effect February ~, will oper-
ate was explained Tuesday by
Major w. E. Holcomb, District Di-
rector OF the Office Of Price Adj
ministration at Jackson.
Highlights Of the plan will be a
uniform 1o-point value for red and
blue, food ration stamps in Ration
Book Four, longer validity periods
for all food stamps and making
change with tokens, he said.
Housewives need not bother
about getting ration tokens for
their use, it was explained, since
merchants will obtain the tokens
and shoppers will automatically re-
ceive them as change for ration
stamps after the new plan goes
into effect.
Brown stamps Y and z Book
No. 81 and green stamps K, L and
M Cook No. - will remain valid
until March 20, and after the new
plan goes into effect, it was point
ed out that these stamps will re-
tain their present point values Of
8, 5, 2, and /. Blue and red stamps
in Ration Book Four, which become
valid with the new system, will be
worth 10 points each, despite the
numbers which appear on them.
Under the new system, shopping
is expected to be simpler for house.

saved both time and paper work,

House Passes
Retirement Act
For Teachers

House passage of a bill creating
a Teachers Retirement System and
providing for a Teachers Retire
ment Fund probably interested
more citizens than any other legis-
lation action of the past week
The bill provides for voluntary
retirement of teachers at the age
of 60 or after 80 years service, and
retirement for disability after ten
years or more of service. The
State pays the full cost of annui-
ties for retired teachers for service
rendered prior to enactment of the
law, and is to match the annuities
created under the system through
investment of four percent of the
teachers pay after the System is
established.
Governor Bailey signed the bill
creating a trust fund for retire
ment of all the states outstanding
full faith and credit, bonds, and
the bill appropriating $21, 427 900 of
the surplus for this fund.
The House last week reconsidered
passage of a bill permitting citi-
zens in the armed forces to regis
ter by mail and to cast absentee
ballots in primaries and general
elections without payment of poll
tax, added an amendment giving
election managers full and final
authority to determine the quail
