Shoppers Shun
Coupon Use for
Luxury Foods
No Difficulty Found
BY Stores on First
Day Of Point PIon

The point values Of foods. and not
money or personal preference, will
be the principal factor determining
the future American diet, 1t was
evident today.
District grocers reported that
shoppers who used their blue cou-
pons for the first time yesterday
bought mostly those canned foods
low in point value. This was as
It. should be, OPA officials pointed
out, since the higher point values
were placed on some foods because
OF their scarcity.
Stores here yesterday reported no
great difficulty with their customers
IN adhering to the point system.
Some customers, grocers said, were
not completely familiar with the
regulations and with the point
values, but they were willing to
listen to explanations.
Buyers Are Cautious.
Significant was the fact that prac-
tically every evidence of an inclina-
ton to hoard food had given way to
extreme caution in buying. There
was no rush to use up the blue A.
B and c coupons which are valid
during March. On the other hand,
stores handled only their usual
Monday business, and most OF the
customers were said to have used
stamps with miserly reluctance.
Baby foods, which have a low
point value and which must be pur-
chased regularly, moved more quick.
ly than other rationed items. Lux
ury" foods, like dried prunes and
canned pineapple, probably will re-
main on grocers' shelves for q long
time since housewives are hesitant
to forfeit the large numbers Of
points required for these goods.
Inconsistencies in the point values
of certain items in relation to others
were quickly noticed by the alert
housewives. For example, they dis
covered they could buy a 10-to-l4-
ounce box of raisins for IS points,
while a 15-ounce box would cost
them 20 points. They also discov-
cred they could buy four 3-ounce
cans of mushrooms for points,
while single 12-ounce can would
cost them points.
Occasionally housewife would
come into store and blow" her
self TO q few cans of foods with
high point values because her FAM
lily happened to be especially fond
OF that product. One woman in
Baltimore spent the entire months
coupons for her whole family on
pork and beans because it was the
hrst time In many weeks she had
seen this item on her grocer's
shelves.
Restaurants Register.
Beginning yesterday and through
March 10. proprietors Of restaurants,
hotels. boarding houses and man
ayers Of all institutions serving
meals. including the schools, were to
