High Lights of Point Rationing This nation's fIk!>Mng forces are k row Iiik. and their requirements of food. clothing and a mm mil lion also aro Increasing dally For those who reiiiuin at homo these things have made rutloniiiK necessary. Katlon:ng on the homo from In eHesnlla! In order to make ait re that the nation's fighting forces Mill have the supplies and I munitions they need Rationing assures all citi/.ens a fair J share of the goods that are scarce hut are necessary to protect their health and to keep them working. Ration111K does not restrict supplies 'Ihe purpose of a rationing program is to make available to all people the larg est possible amount of goods which the war lots unule scarce Halloa ng Is designed to make sure that all citizens shall share and share alike ? that one citizen shall not have more than he actually needs while hls neighhors are unable to obtain what they actually require to remain well- nourished. England's war experience indicates clearly that 1 Point Rationing' is the rationing system that works best in a count r> at win The Pulled States government has decided to adopt the point rationing system, and arrangements now are. being made to Inaugrate this system in a short time Here in South Carolina more than two million copies of the new War Ration Rook Two will he distributed by ratliioiiig hoards throughout the state just before point rationing /'"is under way. N'o person will he able to buy the things lie needs unless he can produce War Ration Rook Two so that merchants may remove from It the number of stamps required to cover the purchases the customer makes. In order to make certain that no one not entitled to this hook shall come into possession of It, the Office of Price Admlnlstrat luti has antioum ed that ' War Ration Rook One the sugar | book must b>- in your possession when you apply lor War Ration Hook' Two Some South Carolinians have! I not yet obtained (he first ration book,' and these have been reminded many I times recently by the OI'A that they iniiht Ki t War Ration Hook One by ! January 15 ho that (hey will be able to qualify for 'War Ration Hook Two I w hen lot al rationing board* begin Is Hill UK H War Ration Hook Two the n. at uniiHiial book of iIiIm war- Is a neul booklet with a brown-shaded muntla coVcr It Is about the same size as the nuktir book, but h 11kh11y wider and more HiibHiantially put together. It eontaiiis the usual blanks for identification of the owner, and there Ih a serial number In the corner. There are several pug eg of blue st.imps and of red stamps. Kadi stamp is marked with a letter of the alphabet and with a number. Two letters of the alphabet have been omitted ? 1 and C so that War Ration Hook Two contains 21 Instead of 26 letters of the alphabet. There Is a reason for placing both blue and red stamps In the book. The blue HtampH will be used when the government begins rationing processed foods such as canned goods, dried I nuts and vegetable, and frozen foods Rationing of these foils will begin In a very short time. I The red stamps will be used for buying meats. Rationing of meat will start some time soon. probably a short time after rationing of pro- j crssed foods begins. Some of the stamp* in War Ration Hook Two hear the number "8" some ''5". some "2". and the others "1". j These numerals represent the "point willies" of the stamps. For example, an " 8 " stamp means that the stamp has a value of S points when it Is taken to a merchant to make a purchase. If the purchases you make have it total "point value" of 16 then you could use two "8" stamps, or if no "X" point stamps are left then three "5" point plus a one "1" point stamp could be used Consumers are advised that it is best to always use the largest denomination stamps first Stamps in War Ration Hook Two have been given different point values because the foods to he rationed will he given various potiit values. Just for example, a can of tomatoes might have a point value of "1". while a ran of peas might have a point value of "2". Or. as another example, a pound of hamburger might have a point value of "a", while a pound of sirloin stake might have a point value of "8". When the housewife goes to Iter! grocer's to huv foods, she will find the "point values" of till foods posted in eonspM nous places on bins, on counters, and at rash registers. She I w ill he able to determine, as she j moves about the stre. how she will "spend her points so as to stay i within her budget. Know ing that sho ! w ill he alloted a certain number of J points during a rationing period, she i will be constantly on the alert for foods that are nourishing ami yet have low "jsiint values." Scare foods will have high point values, of course, while low point values will be given to foods that are plentiful Point Values of certain foods will not remain the same at all times however, for ?ome foods may he plen tiful one month and vory scarce a littie later Point values of foods which South Carolina housewives will want to huy will be announced from time to time by the government, and shop pers will be Informed of changes as they occur The government plans to make such information available promptly so that housewives will be able to buy Intelligently, equipped with knowledge of recent changes in "point values" before they plan their shopping trips. Housewives need to remember that each commodity rationed will be given a point value. Each person will be allowed so many points worth of the commodity in a certain group during La specified period of time. Each individual may spend his points to buy any of the items in a point-rationed group in anyway he likes. Hut when tie has spent all his points for the period, he. will not be able to buy any of the rationed items until the next ration period begins So it will be wise always to play saf?- and not spend all your points during the early part of a ration period. Many housewives may find it wise to "pool" the point stamps for the entire family and then plan to use llietn in ways that will best cover the needs and suit the lasts of all members of the family. Members of the family group who prefer foods with high point values either will have to eat less of their favorites or learn to like other foods whose point values are lower. There will lie problems for every housewife when point rationing begins. of course, but they will be solved when each housewife remembers that this point rationing program on the home front will help the fighting man on the distant battle fronts. Point rationing actually offers every housewife an opportunity to contribute to the war effort?and to Victory.
