National rationing plan for processed foods outlined
The Office of Price Administration under the Agriculture Department directs nationwide rationing of nearly all commercially processed vegetables and fruits. A point system, similar to Britain, will govern purchases with blue stamps in Book Two. Each person from birth to old age gets the same points per ration period, usable in any store, with periods announced in advance and stamps labeled by period letters.
