Curtailed Meat Supplies Prompt War Board Calls for Self restraint
The War Production Board's food requirements committee announces a 21 percent cut in civilian meat deliveries for the last quarter of 1942 and asks civilians to limit consumption to 2 pounds per person per week until rationing begins. The plan targets beef 80 percent, lamb 95 percent, and pork 75 percent of 1941 levels, with rationing expected after year start.
