CLOTHES RATION
ISSUE OF NEW BOOKS
THE PROCEDURE FOR SUGAR
Coupon books which are to be issued next Monday—six weeks earlier than originally scheduled —for the second half of the rationing year, will be l anded over on production of the old ration book, which, however, will be retained by the holder in order to keep unused coupons till they are required for purchases. For the second half of the rationing year, the “0” coupons are to be used for clothing and footwear. “M” coupons from the first book can be carried over for use till the end of May next in conjunction with the “0" coupons in the second ration book.
Sugar coupons, for which the registration of consumers is required, will be cancelled, instead of being cut out, as has been the past practice. after the issue of the new books. Under this system, each retailer is placed on a quota based on the number of registered customers on his sugar list. Cancellation can be carried out by the retailer in ink, by rubber stamp, or the method best suited to his business. This also will apply to large residential establishments such as hotels, which deal direct with wholesalers.
