Books Big Job

OTTAWA. Feb. I --(OP)— RA- tion administration officials of the Price; Board today termed as “probubl the biggest priming job ever tac led ln Galleria" the pro- duction cl the new ration books whichanasoontobs lsauedtc Canadians.

Ten companies wm engaged by the King's printer to publish the 17-page book with its specially- dyed dxeets of green, pink, orchid, bull and grey paper, the Prices Board said.

The new book contains aia more pages than the old and differs from it chiefly in that the design of each coupon ls more clearly defined and printed on both sides, with a paaterxi which includes a small maple leaf in each corner.

“Ilia special dyes will be diffi- cult. if not impossible, to duplicate or copy." the Board said. “when detached trom the page, the single coupon resembles a stamp.

“Twelve million copies are being issued. Weighing 2'10 bone they would fill nine box cars. Filed singly the books would reach ll miles in the air, and their 144,000,- ooo page; would form s ribbon more than 3 1-2 inches wide stretching rive times across Can- ode."

Each book contains one green sheet ct tcs and coffee coupons, one pink sheet of sugar coupons, two purple sheets o! butter cou- pons, four bull sheets of spare "A" one blue sheet o! spare "B", two grey streets of spare "C". one sheet of instruction regarding canning sugar, one application tor canning sugar, a return postcard and ohange-of-address card.

"Before receiving the new book, consumers cl rationed commodities must. llil 1n the detachable card at the bad: .01 ration books no. i". the Board said. " _ must be completed with name and address; and ago if under l6 years; serial number of the book and signature or the bolder; and must be pre- sented with the present. ratlonbook to those in charge of distribution throughout.
