Ban On Gift Of
Hams Is Lifted
The ban on gifts of hams, jel
lies, preserves and other rationed
foods was lifted today by the OPA
and a further effort made to make
rationing fit the practical needs
of American families.
This action means such gifts
will be permitted this Christmas,
the first under war-time ration
ing of many important foodstuffs,
and will assist charitable organi
zations in carrying out their tra
ditional gift-giving at this season.
In addition shoes may be given
away point-free beginning today.
Henceforth housewives may give
rationed foods bought with their
own ration stamps to other con
sumers or to charitable organiza
tions. Charitable organizations re
ceiving these rationed foods from
individuals may distribute them
to needy families without collect
ing ration stamps.
In announcing the change, Dis
trict OPA Director M. E. Raw
ling said: “There were some per
fectly good reasons for the old
rule against giving rationed goods
without collecting stamps, but
they were outweighed by the ar
guments for making this ration
ing program just as simple and
practical as possible for Ameri
can families. Under the new plan
we’re free to do as we please with
the food we buy with our ration
looks.’’
Rawlings said that while the
change becomes effective with the
Christmas season, it will continue
in effect indefinitely.
The gift provision does not ap
ply in any way to denltrs. jobbers,
manufacturers or other commer
cial food handlers.

SUNDAY IS FUNDAY
with the Big Sunday Magazine
You can keep going all day In the big Suit
day Magazine. Do you play Crossword
Puzzles? Well there's a superdooper puz
zle to try your wits. Do you play bridge,
or want to learn? Culbertson tells you
the Intricate how. Do you write poems, or
think you could? Then spend some time
in the Poet’s Corner, strictly for amateurs.
And never, never miss “Letters Home"
from the boys at the fighting front. Here’s
the war in Intimate detail, first hand, and
all the facts that will pass the censor.
4 Bis Sections
Eighty-six per cent of the people who open
the Sunday Magazine read "Letters Home,”
so they must be good. A lot of folks read
the Book Reviews and more read "Ne
braska Scene," a collection of homespun
opinions on current events from prominent
Nebraskans, compiled by John Bentley.
The Magazine is a panoramic review, one
of six big feature sections in a big Sunday
newspaper. It carries short stories by such
writers as Mark Hellinger, articles by na
tionally recognized authorities like Con
stantine Brown, columns by Walter Win
chell and Damon Runyon, and state fea
tures by Carlyle Hodgkin and other well
known local writers.
