USE OF COUPONS IN NEW BOOKS
The A 1 and A2 coupons in the new ration books became available for the purchase of butter yesterday. They can be used until November 14, but not after that date. The special Y1 coupon used for butter purchases last week when the rationing scheme was announced is no longer available. The first four tea and sugar coupons in the new books can now be used. They will expire on November 28. The special Y2 coupon is available for the purchase of the extra allowance of sugar for japi making. Rationing officials at the Chief Post Office stated yesterday that the instruction issued by the Rationing Controller (Mr J. E.
