for cooking and heating will be re-
moved from rationing October Is,
the War Production Board and the
Office of Price Administration an
nounced recently.
Rationing of oil and gas stoves will
be continued, the agencies said, add
ing that supplies of these types "are

Current inventories of coal and
woodworking stoves, on the other
hand, were reported as substantially
larger" than at the beginning of ma
tion-wide stove rationing in August,
1943.
Quota restrictions governing the

No Increase
In Sugar
AllOtments

Many complaints have been re.
ceived by the Maryland OPA, thai
the allotment of sugar for home can.
ming Is not adequate, particularly for
rural families and that much fruit
and fresh produce will be wasted, be-
cause of lack of sugar to preserve
the food. After consulting on this
problem with the Regional and Ma
tional OPA officials and with the
Maryland VIA, the following joint
statement was issued by the Mary
land OPA with the Maryland VIA.
No increase in the allotment of
sugar for home canning is contem-
plated. The supply of sugar is not
sufficient to permit any additional
issuance for this purpose The nation
al allotment for home canning SUI
gar was 100000 tons according to
VIA, and by the end of June the
local War Price and Rationing
Boards throughout the country had
already issued nearly 100000 tons.
Further, according to OPA, had ev-
CtJ 4NO. fO ou6oi oIdulp Ill oil INO.
4 War Ration Books been used to
buy 5 lbs. of sugar for home canning,
100000 tons would have been used.
ALL indications at present that sugar
issued for home canning purposes
will exceed the amount allocated for
the country.
Any additional ALLEGATION would
have to be granted at the expense of
other programs in which sugar plays
an important part, particularly the
manufacture of munitions, of indus
trial alcohol, and of synthetic rubber.
1t must be realized that supplies are
just not available.
Maryanl OPA figures show that
through July 1914, 100000 lbs. of
sugar for home canning had been
issued, as against only 100000 lbs.
for the same period last year, or IS
times more. However, II times as
many applications have been receiv-
ed.

Modern COmmu-
nications System
For State Police

Provision has been made for the
installation by the Maryland State
Police of teletypewriter system
connecting all of TIE Maryland bar
racks with the headquarters at Pixies
Vile. The new system not only will
keep the various barracks in com
slant touch with each other by writ
ten message, but will also connect
directly with the Baltimore City
Police, with the Metropolitan Police
Department at Washington, with the
Virginia State Police, Pennsylvania,
and through these connections will
cover all of Delaware, New York,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and
Maine. The completed system will
make available to our State Police
$50 police stations throughout the
area described.
The work of the police involves a
tremendous amount of cOmmunica-
ton between the various barracks
which heretofore has been largely
handled through long distance phone.
The new system will have a stimuli
taneous connection with headquar-
ters to all of the barracks areas for
written messages and the records
will be permanent without the clefi-
cal work of those now performing the
duty of TRANSFERRING the verbal mes
sages into a written record. 1t will
also effect saving in the expense of
these many telephone calls.

Salisbury College Opens

The State Teachers College at Sal
isbury opened for the twentieth an
nual session on Monday, September
il. A good enrolment is expected
this scholastic year, since Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor has advised to
the effect that State policy waving
tuition fees in State Teachers Col
leges will be effective with next bud
get" While limited amount of tu-
ition will be charged during 1944-45
it is evident that the total tuition
cost for graduation will be lessened
by $500. 1t is expected that this re-
duction in total tuition costs will aid
materially in meeting the great need
for elementary teachers especially.

Blue Ration
Tokens Out
October LIST
Processed Food Point
Values To Be Cuaged
On Multiples Of Ten

Use of blue ration tokens will be
discontinued October in line with
TIE sharp reduction of the amount of
processed food under rationing, the
Office of Price Administration has
announced.
Chester Bowles, OPA administra-
tor, said that in the future processed
food point values will be set so that
most items will have values in null
tiples of ten, enabling housewives
to use their ten-point blue stamps
without point change being needed. +"
James F. Byrnes, war mobilization
director, announced that effective
September II all canned and bottled
vegetables and fruit spreads will be
removed from rationing. Only canned
fruits and few otker items will con-
tinue to require points.
In a modification of present usage
of the 1-point Blue tokens, the OPA
announced that between September
II and October l retailers will not
give blue tokens to customers as
change. Also during that period shop
pers will be able to spend blue tokens
only in units of ten.
Housewives will be permitted to
pool their tokens during that time
to make up groups of ten, the OPA
said, but fewer than ten will not be
accepted. None may be used after
September 80.
The blue tokens together with red
ones for meats and dairy products,
have been in use since February 81.
Bowles urged housewives to use
blue tokens promptly so hat they
will not lose ration buying power
when their use is discontinued.
