Among the highest point-value
items on the list are dried prunes
and raisinS. a pound package Of
each costs 20 points. The low
est point values are set for baby
foods. A four or five-ounce can
is valued at only one point, and a
can Of from five and one-half to
nine ounces al two points.
Brown said that the point val
ues reflect a critical shortage of
canned and procesSed foods avail
able for civilian consumption in
1913 and 1914. The shortage. ne
said. is due principally TO heavy
requirements of the armed forces
at home and abroad as well as TO
lend-lease shipments.
OPA officials said the present
point values were set on the basis
Of known supplies and estimated
consumer tastes. They admitted
that the points were fixed on the
assumption that not all members
of the civilian population will use
all their points,

INCREASED TOUGHNESS

They added that stocks are
large enough TO enable every
coupon to be honored even if the
entire population uses all its
points, but warned this would
mean a stiff increase in point val
ues for April and subsequent
months.
Officials warned also that any
notifications of the general scheme
of point values in forthcoming
months are likely 10 be in the
direction of increased toughnesS
rather than reiaxat ton.
In other words, you are not
likely TO get more than the pres
ent ration of canned goods for the
duration, and you may get con-
siderably less.
There will be notifications each
month of point values according to
supply and demand. For example,
If there is a heavy demand for
canned peas. the point value will
be raised in April CThis is merely
an illustration and does not mean
that the value of peas will be
