One person may obtain books for all family members at the same address. Applicants must present war ration book three to obtain book four, with replacements available for lost book three. Book four uses green stamps series A for November 1 to December 20 and sugar stamps 29 for five pounds through Jan. 15, while blue stamps from book two (X Y Z) expire Nov. 20. Green stamps differ only in color and size from blue stamps, with same point values 8 5 2 and 1, and replacement foods use green stamps like blue stamps did.
