U.S.A. RATIONING
SAVING TO STOREKEEPERS 35,000,000 DOLLARS A YEAR The butcher, the grocer and other retailers selling rationed goods will save 35,000,000 dollars a • year on bookkeeping and clerical expenses through general use of fibre tokens in point rationing, according to Mr Walter Straub, national director for food rationing in America. The new discs, about the size of a threepenny piece, were circulated’ in February. Under this new arrangement every point ration stamp wlil be valued at 10 points. When the tendering stamp is issued, the housewife will receive in return token valued, at one point each, instead of paper stamps. It is believed the tokens will not only save retailers money in terms of time spent counting and assorting stamps, but will also obviate the need of issuingration books as often as otherwise needed.
