Community Service Report No.8" Raiton points for all rationed meats, including pork, must be collected dv farmers, whether sold of given to friends, neighbors, relatives, retailers or anyone else, Hamer S. Culp, chairman of the Salt Lake City war price and ra-tiining ra-tiining board, said this week. The War Food Adminstration recently lifted its restrictions requiring re-quiring that a farmer secure a permit to slaughter hogs intended for sale, the chairman said. This did not mean that pork has been placed on the point-free list of foods. In order to stimulate the consumption con-sumption of pork, OPA recently reduced the point value two points per pound and the War Food Adminstration Ad-minstration temporarily lifted the slaughter restrictions on pork. The allowance of meat-fats points per pound for every pound of salvage fats turned into retailers re-tailers beginning December 13 should also increase somewhat the purchase of meat. A farmer may find out what point values to charge by consulting consult-ing the current table of consumer point values of meats and subtracting sub-tracting two points from the amount listed by OPA in Order to allow for the recent two-point reduction affecting all pork items The only exceptions is for carcase car-case or side pork cuts, which were lowered but one and one half points. Ration points collected by farmers farm-ers formers for the sale of meats and fats should be mailed to the local war price and rationing board, together with a report showing the sales of rationed meat-fats during the month. Citizens Cit-izens are urged to observe scrupulously scrup-ulously the rules for home-slaughtered home-slaughtered meat. Otherwise, large amounts of food will travel illegitimate illegi-timate channels an build up a huge black market, depriving the armed forces, lend-lease, and legitimate leg-itimate consumers and retailers of needed supplies. Local war price and rationing boards are encouraging members to form listening groups for the weekly address of Chester Bowles, Bow-les, OPA administrator, Washington, Washing-ton, D. C. over Station KUTA every Tuesday at 8:15 p. m. Mrs. A. L. McKean community service member of the Salt Lake City war price and rationing board reported re-ported this week. These weekly reports to the nation on war price and rationing ration-ing measureres to shorten the war and to advoid ruinous inflation, infla-tion, explain the background of OPA and give advance informt-tion informt-tion on changes in policy. After the discussion, listening groups can hold an open forum on issues of the day and thereby develope a lot of valuable consumer information. |
