B. BROWN. Mgr. NEW RATION SYSTEM NEAR Tokens Go Into Use Nation February 27; Rules Outlined. Washington, Feb.

22-Shopping rules which have been observ-; ed in a year of point rationing will be discarded a week from today when the Office of Price Administration overharls its food ration system and institutes the token plan. The overhauling wi'l include the introduction of one ration kens for change purposes, the use of red and blue stamps for food purchases and their evaluation at 10 points each, instead of the cur- rent S-5-2-1 values. The old system, which went into effect lest March for canned foods and last April for meats. will continue through this week. Consumers this week will use the brown W.

X. Y. and stamps in ration Book No. 3 for meats and fats and the green and stamps in Ration Book No. 4 for canned and processed 1 foods The green G.

and stamps expired at midnight last night. Each of these stamps will be redeemed at fact value and customers will continue receiving one point paper stamps as change. Beginning next week, however, most of this will be discarded. The brown V. and stamps in Book No.

3 no longer will be good. Brown and stamps will remain valid through March 20, able at face value. In addition, red A-8, B-8 and C-8 stamps in Book No. 4, running crosswise instead of up and down, will become valid for the purchase of rationed meats and fats at 10 points each. For canned and processed foods, green and stamps will continue to be good through March 20 at face value, but blue A-8, C-8.

D-8 and. E-8 samps in Book No. 4 also will become valid, but at 10 points each. For change, shoppers no longer will receive one-point stamps, but one-point blue and red tokens, to remain good indefinitely. Because each of the new stamps will be worth 10 points and because their validity periods will be longer than the current ones.

the new ones will remain good through May 20. OPA experts, who insist the whole system will be simple once a shopper gets in the caution against reckless spending which might unbalance ration gets and leave shoppers without stamps. The OPA also announced that shoppers will not have to exchange their one-point stamps for tokens. Brown, V. and one-point stamps, of course, must be spent this week because they expire next Saturday midnight.

But and one-point stamp will remain good through March 20. Beginning next Monday, grocers and butchers no longer will hand out such stamps for change, but will issue the tokens. Meanwhile, the OPA urged storekeepers to cure their allotments of tokens from their ration banks or face the prospect of being without "change" next week.

Michael Roskovich, known in England and throughout the world as "The Mad Russian" and his home address as Fayette City, is officially listed as killed in action. His death occurred on February 4, over Scotland. according to a message said to have been received by the flier's parents. "We regret to inform you that your son. Lieut.

Michael Roskovich was led on February 4, 1944 over Scotland. A letter will follow." This was the telegram reported received vesterday by Mr. and Mrs. John Roskovich of Arnold City, tragie words which held only heart break, and memories of their boy. Michael, better known as "The Mad Russian' has been in the service almost four years, having entered after graduation from Marion high school.

He has three brothers and a sister, Eva, a member of the W. A. all of whom are in the service of their country. Arriving in England sometime in 1942 after having viewed service all the war from San Diego to Alaska and then a month before that long remembered day. December 7.

Roskovich wanted to become 4 pilot and so he stayed in England. Roskovich was entitled to wear the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters which he received in April of last year and the D.

F. C. He had been interviewed by the staff writers of the Army Newspaper. "The Stars and Stripes" and was entertained in many London homes. Lieut.

Roskovich has soared into another horizon but he will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him, to the men, his buddies who made those famous raids with him as the Mad Russian of necktie cutting, bomb hurling fame will remain as a beacon, a light of hope in the darkness.

Phone 57 THE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY Includes persons uses of a bathtub owns of a house 1920 0 00 0 00 0 1044 AL AND gets about twice as much electricity for its money as it did 15 years ago! STATISTICS are tricky things to' toss around.

Obviously, of a bathtub wouldn't hold water very well! That figure means merely that some 3 out of 5 American homes have bathtubs. Obviously, also, the electric figure applies only to homes that have electric service. But as a nation-wide average of all those homes, it is a fact -and perhaps surprising to many people. Most families own more electric appliances now than they did in 1929. Over the years, as they used more electricity, they earned lower rates and the rates, too, were steadily reduced.

So though your bill today may be as much as it was in 1929 or even more you're probably getting twice as much for what you pay. And remember that the price of electricity has stayed down while most other prices are going up. That makes it just about the biggest bargain in your wartime budget! For this you can credit the electric companies, manned and managed by business people, under public regulation. Their hard work has made electric service dependable and cheap.
