The new point system of ration
ing is somewhat similar to the ra-
tioning method used in England
Such a system is necessary when
rationing most items of food.
Each consumer will be allowed
to use a certain number of ration
points during stated period Fol
instance, the OPA may announce
that 48 ration points will be al
lowed for the purchase of canned
foods of all kind in a single month
! The point value of differen
types of food will be announced
at the same time. The consumer
will then have the choice of buying
just few items with a high point
value, or taking a lot of items with
low point value.
Meat is to be rationed unde,
the point system, also High value
will be assigned to scarce meats
such as beef-while other meats
such as veal, which are easily OBJ.
talnable will take fewer points.
