December Civilian Meat Supply is Above Normal Happy shopping days are here again for Mrs. America with the end of rationing of meats, canned fish, fats and oils. The days of food rationing are gone forever, it is hoped, but there is one exception—sugar—will continue to be rationed as long as the world-wide shortage exists. Keep all the family's war ration books No. 4. You'll need the sugar stamps that are in them. The current stamp, good for buying five pounds, is sugar stamps No. 38, which will be valid through Dec. 31. THANKS FROM OPA Following recent lifting of rationing restrictions on meats, fats and oils, Paul Barksdale d'Orr, southland district OPA director, in a statement expressing appreciation for the efforts of consumers, retailers and members of the food industry in making the rationing program a success, described the monumental task faced during the past two and one-half years. D'Orr's recapitulation showed that more than 12,000 retailers and wholesalers, 6000 industrial users and 24,000 institutional users, such as restaurants, hospitals, etc., had been served by the southland's more than 130 rationing boards. He pointed out that 508 commercial banks in the district handled the ration bank accounts in the vast program, under which southern California's millions of consumers were served. The district OPA official said that more than 600 million points, including those used by both consumers and institutional users, had changed hands monthly in the district.

"The Los Angeles district OPA office still has a big job ahead on it," he continued, "for although rationing of all foodstuffs except sugar has been discontinued, price control on these commodities must go on until the threat of inflation has passed." All retailers, wholesalers and primary distributors of rationed meats and fats must turn all red tokens in their possession into their ration banks before Dec. 12, d'Orr said. Only the tokens must be turned in, d'Orr explained, and meat-fats red ration stamps may be disposed of by the holders as they see fit. THEY'RE UNCLE SAM'S! Director d'Orr pointed out that red tokens are government property and must be collected to prevent their misuse. Most of such tokens, he said, are held by the trade and by ration banks, and, if surrendered promptly, the government agency will be enabled to rapidly wind up all matters pertaining to the ration program. Tokens need not be counted, d'Orr said, and may be placed either in the standard container or in a sealed envelope. Naturally, he pointed out, no ration credit will be given for surrendered tokens. The red token program began Feb. 27, 1944, when the value of ration stamps was set at 10 points each. Previously, the stamps had been valued at 8, 5, 2 and 1 points each. Purpose of the tokens was to make for greater flexibility in setting point values and making change. State C. of C.

The lower picture shows the metal finish line at Fisher Body's Pontiac plant from which auto bodies now are rolling at an increasing rate. On this same line during the war, as may be seen from the upper view, pedestals for 90mm guns were produced on an assembly line basis.

State C. of C. Scores Surplus Disposal Muddle Disposal of more than $30,000,000 worth of federally-owned surplus consumer goods in Southern California has bogged-down because of confusion and red tape reports to the southern district office of the California State Chamber of Commerce indicate. Major reason is because every step by the disposal agency (the local U.S. Department of Commerce office) first must be cleared through its San Francisco regional office. This problem was supposed solved with announcement six weeks ago that, effective November 5, the local federal property disposal job would be taken over by the Reconstruction Finance Corp. To date no change in disposal procedure has been effected. At recent community conferences on property disposal, arranged throughout Southern California by the state chamber, county and city purchasing agents in dire need of certain items, World War II veterans entitled to special consideration, and dealers eager to buy articles in short supply were outspoken in criticism of the program, a state chamber spokesman said today. Additionally, taxpayers are not getting the possible maximum revenue under the present muddled procedure, the chamber's southern office points out. Veterans desiring to purchase surplus items to establish a business must wait from six to seven weeks for certification from the Smaller War Plants Corp., the agency specifically charged with aiding them. After this seeming needless delay, the veteran who inquires at the local department of commerce office, in regard to purchase of articles handled by that agency gets the answer, "we must check with San Francisco," the state chamber has found. With a flood of federally-owned surplus goods mounting daily, the local situation is becoming ex- To You and Yours All good wishes for a Merry American Christmas.
