RATION BOARD

When this war will have been
won We will find that one of the
most unhappy memories will he
our experience with local ration
board. Just as the "meatless and
wheatless" days of Herbert Hooy-
er almost ruined his political ca
reer so will we harbor our griev-
ances with the ration board.
f. The Ypsilanti board, we under
stand, was inaugurated to save our
citizens a round trip to Ann Arbor
for their ratiohing, and at first,
was only temporary arrangement
at the City Hall all run by volun-
teer help. When 1t was moved TO
Huron St. two volunteers became
paid workers by Civil Service. at
pay and hours far beneath those
OF a war worker. Orders were
given by Ann Arbor, and j. T.
Linsher of that ration board was
also our Chief Clerk, who In turn
was under Detroit. II those In
charge here refused extra mileage
extra food points, it was because
OF printed instructions they were
following. The disappointed appli
cant would soon learn that Anr
Arbor tempered justice with mercy
and would modify the rules. Oul
Ypsilanti workers feared TO take
that liberty. Letters were sent
to superior officers and while some
complaints were justified, many
probably were spite work. The
work grew in volumes. Only -four
paid workers were ever employed
and two of those have been or
since May, 194S. A few faithful
volunteers came regularly. Those
were given certain work to dc
and were never permitted to &c
to the counter. Those people wait
ing in a long line could not com
prehend why acquaintances Of
theirs did not leave their desks
and wait upon them. The reason
Is obvious. New printed instruc
tons are received by the paid
workers who sometimes have had
no time to become informed and
volunteers may give the wrong ad
vice or application blank. II a vol
unteer will give a certain tim,
