Don’t Mislay War Ration Books Warned in Ohio
Athens County issued a warning from the Ohio State Council of Defense to Leon ard Prater, county rationing coordinator, about not losing war ration books. If a book is lost a petition may be made for a new one, but issuance is delayed two months after the application date. Regulations also apply to those with excess sugar and no book will be issued until enough ration periods pass. Some registrants misunderstood that excess sugar automatically granted new books regardless of consumption length.
