How to get your NEW FOOD RATION BOOKS and CLOTHING BOOK Four jobs are being done all in one this year— the issue of the new Clothing Book, the issue of the Personal Food Ration Book, application for the General Food Ration Book and also an inspection of Identity Cards. Special offices throughout the country are now open; their addresses are advertised locally. Look at your IDENTITY CARD. If you have made any alteration to it, or if it does not give your present address, the first thing you should do is to take it to the nearest National Registration Officer.
