7-DAY OVER LAP PERIOD
To aid consumers who may run
out of ration stamps for processed
foods before the first ration period
expires, the Office of Price Ad
ministration has provided a 7-day
overlap period_..the last week of
M^fch—during Which (time con
sumers may spend both their first
period and their second period
stamps.
Stamps A, B, and C are valid for
the first period and may be used
from March 1 thorugh March SI.
Stamps for the second period may
be used from March 25 through
April 30. During the overlapping
period March 25 through March 31
stamps for both March and April
may be used. After March 31,
however, Stamps A, B. and C will
not be valid.
In explaining the overlapping
period, OPA pointed out that it
will help consumers who have a
few low value stamps left at the
end of the ration period. These
stamps, which might not be suffic
ient to buy any desired items, can
be used with stamps of the second
period for the purchase of any of I
the rationed foods.
Consumers are reminded that
since storekeepers cannot give
them change in points, they should
whenever possible, use high value
stamps first rather than those of
low value. For example, in buy
ing a can of peas worth 16 points,
they should use two 8 point stamps
rather than an 8, a 5, 2 and 1 point
stamps.
