ISSUANCE OF RATION COUPONS
IN DELAWARE CENTRALIZED

All ration coupons issued for
consumers in Delaware are now
sent to the applicant directly from
a ration currency issuance center,
recently established in Wilmington.
All the IL War Price and Ration
Boards in Delaware except the one
in Milford now send orders for ra-
ton coupons to the issuance center
in Wilmington and the coupons are
sent directly to the consumer. The
Milford board will be included in
the new system Wednesday. Char
les w. Hardesty, Delaware district
OPA director, explained the state
issuance center was set up to ex-
pedite delivery, for accuracy in ac-
counting on statewide basis, and
to reduce possibility of loss or
theft of coupons at local board Of
fees. The boards already using
the new issuance center are: Will
mington, New Castle, Newark, Mid
dletown, Smyrna, Dover, Harring-
ton, Seaford, Georgetown and
Frankford. Under the new system
the consumer goes to his local

board with an application for ra-
tion coupons. If approved, the ap-
plication is listed in a transmittal
order, with other approved appli-
cations, and sent to the new issu-
ance center. The center, which
has a staff of experts, mails out
Immediately to the applicants, the
number and type of coupons ap-
proved by the local board. When
the stock of the issuance center
gets low, new supply is ordered

ton Office at the New York region
al Office. Under the old system
the local boards, requisitioned the
New York regional distribution
center for their estimated ration
coupon needs. Consumers de-
mands were filled by the boards,
each of which had a stock of cou-
pons on hand. Under the new sys-
tenn local boards will handle no
coupons except furlough food and

BUTTER PRODUCTION LOW
Output for Month of May Lowest
Since Year 1928

Butter production in May was
about per cent less than the 49,
,OO0-pound output in May last
year and the lowest since 1928, the
War Food Administration said.
Consumer demand continued at a
low level because of the 24-point
per pound ration requirement.
Fifty-five per cent of the May pro-
duction was set aside for govern
ment purchase. The milk flow ap-
preached a seasonal peak at the
end of May, but manufactured pro-
ducts markets continued firm,
principally because of demands of
the armed forces and lend-lease.
While cheese production was heav-
ier than a year ago, there was
practically no change in the short
supply for civilians due to the gov
ernment set-aside requirement of
65 per cent for May.

TAX STAMPS
New $500 Stamps viii Be
Placed on Sale at Post Of
fees Saturday, June 9
MUST BE ON BY JULY 1ST

Joseph d. Nunan, Jr., Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue, an
nounced Monday that the new
$500 Automobile Use Tax Stamps
will be placed on sale in all post
offices and Offices of collectors of
internal revenue on Saturday, June
8, 1945. The law requires the
owner of every motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
to buy this stamp and to display it
on the vehicle beginning July l.
1945. The law provides both cash
and Jail penalties for failure to pay
this tax. To protect themselves
against unnecessary penalties
Commissioner Nunan advised own
ers of motor vehicles not to be
misled by false rumors alleging
that this tax has been repealed
The stamps will be sold over the
counter at all post offices and of
fees of internal revenue collectors
In addition, collectors of internal
revenue will fill mail orders wher
accompanied by cash, money or
ders or certified checks. Personal
checks cannot be accepted for the
purchase of revenue stamps. The
law requires that the stamp be
prominently displayed on the mo.
tor vehicle on and after July l
1915. Where possible, the STAMP
should be placed on the windshield
as recommended by the proper of.
ficials of each State. Motorists
will find that the stamps usually
will stick better if they damper
the windshield instead of the
stamp. Motorists who desire to dc
so may reinforce the stamp with
adhesive tape or similar aids. Te
protect themselves against loss ol
theft, Commissioner Nunan advis
ed motorists to keep a separate
record of the serial number which
appears on each stamp. Motor
! lists also are asked to write on thu
back of the stamp the make, mod
ell. serial number and State license
/ number of the vehicle.
