new RATION, GAS
BOOKS TO BE ISSUED
NEXT DECEMBER
VIII Again Use Schools
AS Distributing Agency;
Hope Ii Is For Last Time

War Ration Book Five, smaller
than a dollar bill and containing
just half as many stamps as the
last book issued, will be distributed
through the public schools in Dec
ember, John II. Summers, Director
of the Columbus district Office Of
Price Administration, announced
today. At the same time, the new
"A" gasoline ration book will be
issued.
Distribution will take place at
school houses or other public
buildings from Dec. 3 through Dec.
Is. OPA district office will fix the
exact time for each local area. The
new "A" gasoline books will go in
to use Dec. %, and War Ration
Book Five will be used soon after
the first of the year for food and
shoe rationing.
Mr.. Summers SAID:
1T takes a long time to plan,
print and distribute a war ration
book. That's why we must arrange
now for a book that will not be
used until early 1916.
Supply Still Tight
The supply agenc1es-the De-
partment of Agriculture and the
War Production Board-have told
us that meats and fats, canned
goods, sugar and shoes all will be
in tight supply for some months to
come, and so it looks as if ra-
tion book will be needed at least
throughout most of the next year.
To be reasonably on the safe side,
and avoid the expense of having to
get out still another book later, we
have set up Book Five so that it
can last from 10 to IS months if
needed.
I'VE hope War Ration Book Five
will be the last in the series of
wartime ration books, and that
there will be plenty of stamps we
won't have to use. We cannot
gamble too heavily on that though,
since so many months are needed
to bring a book into being.
THE new book will be much
easier to carry and handle. since
it will be much smaller. The num-
bering and arrangement of stamps
is better, too. All the housewife
and grocer will have to remember
is that stamps of certain number
are good. The new stamps will not
have both letter and number as
the present stamps do.
Job WeII-HandIed

Jumpin' Joe Saveldi, former Notre

weight wrestling title when he
pinned Jim Londos, has drawn Vic
Christy as his opponent for his first
appearance here after a long tour
of duty overseas.
Savoldi, with his scowl and fa-
nous drop-kick, is one of the most
colorful grapplers ever to bounce
and snort on a mat.
Jumpin' Joe comes back to the
mat with the conviction that he can
chase Sharkey or any other pre-
tender to the throne right up the
nearest alley, but Uncle Joe has
given him tough opponent in

Bears and Bee 5 Aces
Sure 10 Offer FIashy
Polio Benefit Game

One Of the top pro teams in the
country and always good for a
fiashy show, the Washington Bears
should be at their best Monday
night at Uline Arena against Comdr
Clair Bees All-Stars. There is that
little matter of last years setback
the Bears have been thinking about
and wanting to avenge.
The Bears, undefeated this season,
have one of their strongest combi-
nations in years and Coach Tarzan
Cooper will start his top five men
with the idea of getting away to a
flying start against the All-Stars.
That means Cooper and Johnny
Isaacs will start at guards; Sugar
Cain, center; Flip Morgan and Pop
Gates at forwards.
Bee, due here tomorrow on off,
cial Maritime Commission business,
hasn't named a lineup and prob
ably won't be able to do so until
his men check in here. The former
Long Island U. coach will have his
choice of 16 players, every one an
outstanding courtman, and un-
doubtedly will use them all. Bees
strategy will be to wear down the
opposition with fresh, fast combina-
tions.
1t will be an all-star show in
more than one sense. The half
time entertainment will feature
some of the best dancers and vocal
lists playing at local theaters and
night clubs next week.
A preliminary game that is an
attraction in itself, Marine Corps
Institute VS.. Fort Belvoir, will open
the double -header at 7::30.

Russell shot 269 out of a possible

Roosevelt, 1926 to 976, yesterday on
the Tech range. The score, if fired
with .30-caliber rather than the %
used in high school matches, would
be good enough to qualify Russell as
a sharpshooter in the best infantry
outfit in the United States Army.
Russell not only was but 2 points
