Can Buy Coffee
Again Next Week
When the housewives go to mar-
ket during the week from Novem-
ber 23 through November 28, they
will not be able to buy any coffee,
but starting Sunday, November 28,
coffee purchases may begin again
by surrendering one stamp from
War Ration Book No. 1—the book
they have been using for sugar pur-
chases during this year S, S. Pegues,
chairman of the Zavala County War
Price and Rationing Board, explains.
“Retail coffee sales will be frozen
during that one week for the pur-
pose of enabling storekeepers to
stock their shelves for the beginning
of ration sales,” Mr. Pegues says.
In order to prepare for coffee ra-
tioning, he advised, those who do not
have War Ration Book No. 1 or who
have lost it should apply immediate-
ly to the local War Price and Ration-
ing Board.
“When coffee rationing begins on
November 29,” he said, “War Ration
Book No. 1—which mo;t people
probably call the ‘sugar book,’ will
then be used for buying coffee. The
stamp in the book No. 28 and down
to 20 will be the coffee stamps. The
first coffee ration stamp is No. 27,
then in order follow 28, 25, 26, 23,
24, 22 and 20,”
He explained that this apparently
disconnected sequence of the stamp
numbers is to be used because of the
arrangement of the stamps in the
ration book.
“Another important point to bear
in mind,” he said, “is that only those
whose ration books show them to be
over 15 years old may purchase a
pound of coffee for each of these cof-
fee stamps. Persons who have at-
tained the age of 15 years since the
ration book was issued are not eli-
gible to purchase coffee. The reason
for this age limitation is to allow
larger coffee rations for grownups.”
The first ration period will be for
five weeks from November 29 thru
January 3, 1943.
“Consumers who have stocked up
on coffeee will have to count all
above one pound they have on hand
November 28 as a part of their ra-
tion,” he added. “When the consum-
er applies for War Ration Book
No. 2 sometime around the first of
the year he will be required to de-
clare the amouqt of coffeee he.hqd
on hand at the start of rationing and
stamps will be removed from his
book to cover any excess suuply. Thi
means that the consumer will be un-
able to continue coffeee ourchases
until he has used up his stock on
hand at the rationed rate.”
Mr. Pegues explained that coffee
stamps in the ration books of chil-
dren under 15 years of age must be
left in their books and will be sur-
rendered when War Ration Book
No. 2 is issued.
For the benefit of those who live
in remote localities or whore trans-
portation facilities make the buying
of supplies in small quantities a
hardship, Mr. Pegues pointed out
that a consumer may apply to his
Ration Board for a certificate to buy
as much as five pounds of coffee at
a time, but in such instances, of
course, a sufficient number of samps
will be removed by the Board to
cover such advanced rations.
In spite of the shortage of coffee,
Mr. Pegues emphasized that the
price of coffee is controlled by the
OPA regulations and no one should
pay more than a particular mer-
chant's ceiling price.
Mr. Pegues added a word of warn-
ing to coffee buyers, advising them
not to rush to a store on November
39 with all of a family’s ration books
and try to buy all of the coffee the
■tamps in those books might allow.
“There will be enough coffeee for
everyone,” he said. "That is the very
reason why rationing is being start-
ed. Coffee loses its freshness and
flavor if it is kept too long and it
will be far wiser to buy a pound at
a time as it is needed. Stamp No. 27
will be valid for five weeks and most
grocers will have coffee all during
that period any time it is wanted*
