Use of Clothing Coupons
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Mar. 9. It is officially stated by the Rationing Controller (Mr. J. E. Thomas) that M and O clothing coupons will be available for the duration of the war. Coupons for expectant mothers, liesides being available at all rationing offices, will now be issued at maternity hospitals and Plunket Society branches. These coupons are specially marked to enable drapers to give preferential rationing of baby wool and similar materials in short supply occasionally. The special coupons issued recently by the Prisoner-of-War Inquiry Office to next-of-kin of prisoners of war for the purchase of wool have now been cancelled, as wool must be purchased only with official prisoner-of-war clothing coupons and Armed Services ration cards issued to next-of-kin.
