Show Citizen's To Be Asked To Install Voluntary Rationing In Their Homes Every home in Utah is being visited vis-ited by 4,000 block leaders of the Utah Council of Defense and members of the Minute Women of the conservation division of the War Production board this week to install in Utah a system of voluntary meat rationing. The plan is simple. The Government Gov-ernment has found that adult consumption con-sumption of meat must not exceed ex-ceed 2 pounds per week. It is depending upon the patriotism of the women of Utah to see that their households use no more. The rationing includes beef, pork, lamb, mutton and veal, except ex-cept such specialties as heart liver, kidney and brains. It does not include chicken, turkeys, geese, ducks, fish or game meat such as ducks, bear, deer, antelope, ante-lope, wild geese and rabbits. A family can eat all it wishes of the latter. Each family is allowed 2 pounds pre-cooked weight, including in-cluding bone and fat, for each person in the family over 12 years, 1 pounds for those 6 to 12 years and pound per week for those under, 6. If all families maintain this schedule, there will be plenty of meat for all. Block leaders will distribute pamphlets explaining the rationing plan and suggestions for the best method of complying. It is up to the honesty, fairness and patriotism patri-otism of the family to regulate Itself. Each family should ration itself immediately. It is not necessary to wait for the block leader to call. |
