Although the ration list includes 1 i wide variety of foods all meats :'iul cheeses, as well as shortenings arid salad oils, butter and ptargai line, canned fish and nu\ny other i items.- from the point of view of I-the housewife who does the shopping. it really will be a simple matj lor. I All these foods will he rationed vith a single set of stamps. Mr. Johnson pointed out. And the busy housewife will have to cOnsoll nnlv nn? tnM.. ..I' " allies 11) find ouL how many ration points any of those foods will t ? . 11. ? The latest program requires no registration of any kind. added Mr. Johnson. "War Italian Hooks Two are already disti ihutcd-.nml when the. program goes invo effect' on March " 2SI. horsCWives already will have Pad a month's experience in tiie use of the point ration hooks in J buying processed foods," Mr. .Johnson atud; - Neither will cemsuttfef^ j be askid to report any stocks of foods they may have on hand. . One of the few differences between the use of the blue and red stamps in War Ration Book Two : is the (Oder in which stamps will Oe deehrrrd "Valid. ______ When rationin*'- begins the first set of stamps, marked "A", worth Id points?will be vaidl .
