Late last week Supt. Harney was informed by the FWA tha't because of a drop in attendance at The Office of Price Administra- tion, which gave the public a Christmas gift of extra ration points two weeks ago to buy pork products during the holidays followed up with a similar gift for New Year's by validating Spare Stamp 2 in Ration Book 4 for the! purchase of five points' worth of pork and sausage. The new stamp, which is valid; through Saturday, Jan. 15, will not be good, however, for buying smoked or cured pork, such as smoked ham or bacon, which needed for lend-Iease and rrvli- tary use, or for sausage canned or in glass. It replaces Spare Stamp 1, issued Dec.

They estimated that more than 100,000.000 pounds of pork were bought i throughout the country through use of Spare Stamp 1.

It also was announced that the War Food administration will soon release to civilians about 440,000 cases of canned pork and the schools, the per capita cost was above federal standards and the program in this city, therefore, would end Jan. 15.
