RATION REVISION
PLANNED BY 0PA

WASHINGTON, March 81. -WD
The Office of Price Administra-
ton tonight announced a revision
of its ration point system whereby
blocks of five red and five blue
point stamps will become valid on
the first of each month.
OPA described the step as a
move to make it easier for house
wives and storekeepers to remem-
Der what stamps are good. The
new system becomes effective to-
morrow, when red stamps K2, IL,
M, NJ and Pr and blue stamps
T2, w, w, W. and X2 become
valid.
All stamps henceforth will be
good during the fourth months fol-
lowing their valuation, OPA said.
Thus the two new blocks will be
good until July 81.
OPA noted that the new system
will mean a reduction of six per
cent in the actual number of red
points civilians will get each
month. This cat, however, will be
reflected in point values, it said.
Under the old system, blocks of
five red point stamps were validat-
ed every four or five weeks. Blue
stamps always have been validat-
ed in blocks of five on the first of
each month.

PRE-EASTER TRADE
SETS new RECORD
By The Associated Press

Pre-Easter retail business in

many items Of merchandise. as
the greatest buying sprees in
years.
Retail sales were particularly
large in areas where war indus
tries augmented already large
payrolls of normally operated do
mestic industries.
This was especially true in the
Charlotte area, where merchants
reported that the heavy buying
has extended over a 30-day per-
iod. The past week, however, saw
the peak of the buying rush.
Merchants at Durham reported
the largest volume of retail East

to wartime scarcity of some COM
