RATION POINTS FOR MEMBERS ARMED FORCES HOME ON FURLOUGH

   Soldiers on furlough will not leave a large gap in the food supply of their 
families at home if they follow the procedure outlined yesterday for Cochran 
Field Soldiers by Lieut. John Rosenthal, stationing officer.
   Information from OPA, according to Lieut. Rosenthal disclosed that a member 
of the armed forces had but to present his furlough papers to his local 
rationing board and state that he is to be home for seven or more days.  For 
that period he will be allowed 16 points for each week or fraction thereof.  
He will also be allowed one pound of coffee for the period and one half pound 
of sugar for each week thereof.
   Back of this plan was the thought that when a member of the armed forces 
arrives home on furlough his family usually goes " all out " to do things for 
him.  The best food and entertainment is usually provided but now in case of 
food.  It would work a definite hardship upon the family, thus the 16 point 
ration.
