Blue Token System
Will Be Abolished
After Sept. 30
Use of blue ration tokens will be
discontinued October 1 in line with
the sharp reduction of the amount
of processed food under rationing,
according to the Office of Price
Administration.
Chester Bowles, OPA adminis
trator, said that in the future pro
cessed food point values will be
set so that most items will have
values in multiples of 10, "enabling
housewives to use their 10-point
blue stamps without point change
being needed."
War Mobilization Director James
F. Byrnes has announced and it
went into effect September 17 that
practically all canned and bottled
vegetables and fruit spreads will
be removed from rationing. Only
canned fruits and a few other items
will continue to require points.
In a modification of present
usage of the 1-point blue tokens,
OPA announced that between Sep
tember 17 and October 1 retailers
will not give blue tokens to custom
ers as change. Also, during that
period shoppers will be able to
spend blue tokens only in units of
10.
Housewives will be permitted to
pool their tokens during that time
to make up groups of 10, OPA said,
but fewer than 10 will not be ac
cepted. None may be used after
September 30.
The blue tokens, together with
red ones for meats and dairy prod
ucts, have been in use since Feb
ruary 27.'
