GET READY FOR
FOOD RATIONING
t |
Stokes Rationing Board Issues
Information On Point Katioro
ing That Starts In. February.
i
Mrs. D. C. Kirby outlines com-
ing process:
Point rationing will start in
February for canned, bottled and
• frozen fruits, vegetables and jui-
Ces, dried fruits and soups.
Announced now because food
industry and public must learn
system before operation starts.
Boards will be main source of
accurate information on system.
These are the steps:
1. Rationing will be preceded
by short freeze so that retailers
can stock up and make ready.
2. During freeze every man,
woman and child will be issued
War Ration Book 2.
3. The blue stamps in Book .'J
are fpr processed food.
4. The letter of the alphabet
on the stamp indicates when it is
good.
5. The number on the stamp in
dicates its point value.
6. Every man, woman and child
will receive the same number of
points less cfecfuction for excess
t stocks. ' • ■ .
7. It will take both money and
points to buy rationed foods.
8. You can choose What you
want to buy with yotjr points.
No justification' vfofr hoarding.
All rationed food: except home
canned you own will have to be
declared before getting a ration
book, and stamps will be deduct
ed by boards.
You won't have to declare home
canned foods. Encourage home
canning. '
A list of canned foods to be ra
tioned will be sent you soon.
Boards will have help. It will
take a million and a half volun
teers to handle registration. Bu
many organizations are going to
help.
Remember food is important in
y war strategy. A soldier eats
twenty per cent, more than a civ
ilian. Our men in Africa had to
have 100 days emergency food
supply. The Russian Armies are
winning with American foods.
Point rationing
everyone at home his fair aharc
of rationing foods.
