coal orders and said the nation s
coal problem is solved. The solid

MED this. But there was no
doubt that the cut would help
civilians.
The Army also announced
more meat is being released for

market 10000 jeeps and vast
quantities of other articles. 1t

The Office Of Defense Trans

over taxicabs, rental cars, auto

Rationing Comes To An End
On ALI Foods Except Sugar
Public Should Take Care OF
Ration Books For
Sugar Coupons

Ashe county people as well as
others throughout the nation re-
ceived the welcomed news as the
Government announced the end
of all rationing of food except
sugar, effective Saturday morn
ing.
But with Christmas approach
ing and thoughts of candies and
cakes still remote, many declared
they missed sugar more than any,
thing else. AS many pointed out,
few people in the county have
suffered from the lack of red
points, since Ashe county people
are essentially live-at-home peo-
pie and produce much of their
own meats.
According to the official an
nouncement red points no longer
will be required for beef, pork
veal, mutton, canned fish, butter
lard, shortening, margarine or re-
lated oils. Sugar rationing will,
continue indefinitely.
The announcement was made
lby Secretary of Agriculture Gin:
ton P. Anderson with the concur.
renee of Price Administration

which have been banned from
serving meat and butter because
of ration violations. OPA stated
that these privileges are au-
tomatically reinstated. But crimi-
nal prosecutions already under

out.
Anderson said the only reason
rationing on butter, fats and oils
is being ended is that a continu-
alton would require a completely
