Restaurants Face Heavy Food Cuts Under Ration System
A Maryland Hotel Men's Association executive warns restaurants must cut servings of rationed foods to 66 to 80 percent. The point system lowers 10 pound can yields from 32 servings to 24 from a 2 pound can. Corner drug stores and hot dog stands may fare better than full course meals as meals, even coffee and roll, are counted as servings. Prices for vegetables may rise due to no price ceilings and high demand. Meats rationing begins March 29, complicating current ration calculations.
