On the revised table, all dried
and dehydrated fruits have been rt
moved temporarily from rationing
and point values of all fruit and
vegetable Juices and dehydrated
soups have been lowered sharply,
The new table also shows in
creases in the point values of
some half dozen items of general
use, including apple sauce, peaches
pineapple, canned fresh lima beans
and tomato catsup.
Other than these changes, the
table remains approximately the
same as for March.
The Chairman of the County
War Price and Rationing Board,
declared that the first month of
operations under the new program
was a sort of "working test" of
the system, and said that changes
in the table are intended to Iron
out difficulties apparent ' in the
supply and demand picture as re
lated to point rationing.
The removal ot dried fruits from
the ration list and the reduction
of the value of fruit and vegetable
juices were effective because these
food items were not moving as ra
pidly from grcoers' shelves as was
contemplated. On the other hand,
sales of the, items whose values
were increased were larger than
anticipated.
The new table of point values
fa.- processed foods is available to
retail merchants through the local
post office. Printed on the rever
se side is the point chart for
meats and fats. Storekeepers who
sell goods falling In both ration
ing programs may obtain two
