Show RATION POINTS ARE CHANGED ON SOME FOODS All dried fruits including raisins and prunes were removed from the rationing program this week by OPA in order to help merchants merch-ants move the supplies they now have on hand and thereby avoid possible spoilage. The removal of dried fruits from the rationing list was a part of the first major revision of the point values of processed foods, which also lowered point values of fruit and vegetable juices and dehydrated soups. The new table of point values became effective coincident with the meats and fats rationing program, pro-gram, which has been functioning satisfactorily in this city since last Monday, March 29. While point value reductions were made on some processed foods, the point values on others, including apple sauce, peaches, pineapple, canned fresh lima beans, were increased above their March levels. Apple juice, like dried fruits, was removed from the rationing ra-tioning list entirely. |
