HOW THEY DO RATIONING
IN ENGLAND TOLD BY
AMARILLO SOLDIER
Somewhere in Engand,
June 22, 1944
Deer Folks:
I was talking to Mrs. Harris,
my landlady, the other day, about
tlhe Englsh rationing of food and
materials. She gave me some de-
tai information on what they may

HOW TO BE WARM
NEXT WINTER
You can make scarce fue 1 go
further next winter by preparing
your home for winter now, be you
owner or merely a lease-holder,
tihe Federal Housing Administra-
tion says; and FHA title loan will
enable you to borrow enough money
to pay for both materials and
workmanship needed to insulate
your home, to repair your heating
pliant, to install storm windows—
up to as much as $2,500. You can
borrow enough for any or all of
these things without down pay-
ment, without security and with
three years in Iwlhieh to pay, FHA
says. Get best prices on jobs you
want done, then get your local

SOM^L FOODS AGAIN
RATIONED
The OPA has restored rationing
to best cuts of lamb in order to
get better distribution among cus-
tomers, and it has restored point
values to certain types of cheese
and canned asparagus, peas _ and
tomatoes, which were unrationed
for two weeks because of large
stacks on band.

BUYS $50 BOND EACH MONTH
When the War Finance Divi-
sion of the Treasury sent Fay Mc-
Dougal, Fairmont, W. Va., farmer,
a letter urging hijm to huy_ Fifth
War Loan Bonds, Mr. McDougal
wrote back—“Beg to reply I do
not have to be asked to buy more
war bonds. I have a son in service
in Italy, who is buying a $100
bond each month. I bought 67.)
worth of bonds last year on a sal
arv of $1,400.65. I have averaged
a $550 bond per month so tar this
vear. I do not see 'where I can do
better than the above average.

Vincent Urbanczyk is home on
furlough to help his father with

loan to cover the entire bill.
Mrs. Holt Barber is here from
Miami looking after wheat har-
veting on the Seiber farms.
Of course, White Deer and sur-
rounding communities will do their
part. We hav’nt failed aid to our
fighters yet, and we’ll not fail to
raise our quota this time. We can
look our'boys in the face without
embarrassment when they return.
The good wheat harvest will help
the war effort, and after the rush,
the purchase of War Bonds is ex-
pected to meet, the quota assigned
the White Deer district.
HOUSEWIVES HELP
SAVE EGSS
The extra egg-buying of Ameri-
can housewives has made it possi-
ble to save the 25 million dozens
of eggs thiat were in danger of
spoilage a few weeks ago for lack
of storage space, War Food Ad-
ministrator Marvin Jones said.
Retail stores and newspapers were
of Great help in calling attention
to the problem, he said.
PROCEDURE FOR
SELLING USED CARS
Newly established ceiling prices
for used passenger cars and certi-
ficates of transfer required on all
sales may be obtained from local
War Price an dRationing Boards
or ear dealers, the Office of Price
Administration announces.
Prices vary by three geographi-
cal zones. After July 10 any seller
iand tihe buyer of a used oar must
jointly fill out a transfer certifi-
cate giving the applicable maxi-
mum price, the adtjual selling price
and other details of the s<\le. The
purchaser then files the completed
certificate with his local War Price
and Rationing Board.
Ensign Gilbert Tubb is here for
visit to homefoiks before beii

law, Mrs. Eugenia Bertrand.

THESE THINGS ARE
HARD TO FIND
Busy, busy as can be! Wheat
growers are shoveling wheat on the
j ground. No oars, the elevators full
of the golden grain, and every one
rushing here and there to bring to
a close the biggest wheat crop in
several years, is the report on
every hand.
Yes, without fail they will buy
War Bonds to the limit, but not
even our boys on the fighting front
who know w)hat a big harvest in
this country means, expect the
combines to stop for a trip to
town. Our quota will likely not bo
reached Saturday night, but “ E ”
5th War Loan Bonds purchases
can still (be made during July and
icounted on our quota. This will be
done when wheat can be hauled
to town and marketed.
Several have already purchased
5th War Loan Bonds but not near-
ly enough to reach our quota. It
is hoped that the car shotagfe will
soon be relieved enough so that
all ican do what is expected.
The Review pledges to its sub-
scribers the purchase of 5th jWar
Bonds with all money paid on sub-
scription during the rest of July.
The local newspaper’s only means
of exisitance is revenue received
from subscriptions, advertising
and job printing. We know we give
to our readers more, little as it
may seem to some, actual service
to White Deer community than
any other newspaper published.
Our limited field makes each
paper printed, cost us as much per
jpaper as the larger city papers.
You don’t expetet 'the daily paper
to give you a copy of their paper,
and yet they make as much off of
each copy they sell as your local
paper does. We are grateful to
that large list of subscribers who
say our services to help the eom-
munitv is worth! all and -miore than
we ask, $1.50 a year or 5 cents
per copy.
We will appreciate your renewal
at this. time. Why not send the
Review to that hoy in the service?
