In announcing the new rationing

tion Book No. 2, when in effect and
when they expire during the first
five weekly periods, as follows:

dry fruits and vegetables.
“The meat ration,” he said, “prob
ably will be more than many low
income families will be able to af
ford, although less than the aver
age purchases of middle or rich in
come families.”
In the light of existing rationing
programs, the new plan will bring
restrictions to the largest part of the
typical American diet. Still unra
tioned on the basis of this an
nouncement will be milk, cereals,
fresh fruits and vegetables, bakery
goods, and numerous specialties
such as relishes.
From the customer viewpoint, the
unrationed oasis of food will be the
restaurant or other public’ eating
place. These places will be rationed
on their supplies, but will not col
lect coupons.
Coupon Charges Lowered.
America’s diet thus was tighten
ed up within a few hours after two
other food programs were liber
alized. Coffee rations were restored
to the one pound per person for five
weeks, instead of the current, six
weeks. Coupon charges were re
duced for raisins, prunes, and dried
beans, peas and lentils. Unsealed
packages of dates and figs were
made ration-free.
The 2-pound meat ration estimate,
made by Wickard, was a calculation
of the amount of meat that will be
available for civilians to buy for
home consumption, if divided up
equally without regard to types of
cuts. Since meat killed by farmers
for their own use will be unration
ed and since customers will not
have to give up coupons to eat in:
restaurants, Wickard said the to
tal civilian meat supply will aver
age 2 1-4 pounds a person per
week. Last year’s consumption was
a little over 2 3-4 pounds.
Actually every person, regardless
of age, will get—at the beginning,
at least—16 ration points to spend
as he chooses on meat, cheese, ed
ible fats and oils and canned fish.
He may use more or less of his
points, as he desires for meat in
stead of the other items, and the
weight of meat he gets for his points
will also depend on whether he
buys steak or spare ribs.
Use Red Coupons.
Although the initial allotment
will be 16 points per persons per
week, consumers will be allowed to
accumulate and use their points
during approximately a month’s pe
riod. Thus, in the week beginning
March 29th, each person will be
able to use only 16 points—the Red
“A” coupons in his No. 2 ration
book. In the following week, he
will be able to use any left-over
points, plus another 16 points—the
red “B” coupons. He can keep on
using these left-overs plus each
week’s allotment of points until
April 30th, when all of the cou
pons of the first four weeks will
expire together.
One difference between this sys-

tern and the canned goods coupon
plan is that butchers and stores will
be able to give “change” in cou
pons to customers having an inexact
number of coupon points to pay for
a purchase. On canned goods, no
•< c j ian g e ” j s permitted and coupon
payment must be exact.
Poultry Not Rationed.
Meat rationing will apply to all
products—fresh, cured, smoked or
frozen—of cattle, calves, sheep,
lambs and swine. Not rationed will
be poultry, game, horsemeat, fresh
or other fish not contained in seal
ed cans or bottles, and inedible fats,
such as soap.
Cheese rationing will cover most
types except cottage, pot and sim
ilar “soft or perishable cheeses.” If
divided evenly, the cheese supply
under rationing would provide each
person with about one-tenth of a
pound a week, but this is expected
to vary widely according to indiv
idual tastes.
Similarly, the butter supply will
average about 4 1-2 ounces a per
son per week. But anyone will be
able to buy more or less as he de
sires within his total of 16 points
per week for all of the items on the
new ration list. Margerine, shorten
ing, salad oils and canned salmon
or tuna fish are other items in this
group.
Because meat cutting cannot be
exact, coupon costs will be figured
to the nearest full point value. A
piece of meat that figured to 9 1-4
coupon points, for instance, would
cost 9 points. If it figures to 9 3-4
points it would be counted as 10 j
points.
The point values of prunes and
raisins were cut from 20 to 12
points a pound to stimulate sales of
existing stocks before warm weath
er causes spoilage. Point cost of
dried beans, peas and lentils was
lowered from 8 to 4 points a pound
because of improved supplies, es
pecially due to imports from Mex
ico.
