Ration point values September generally shows decreases for meats and canned and . frozen fruits according to Mrs. R. L. McKean, community service member mem-ber of the Salt Lake War Price and Rationing Board. One of the most important in-, creases in point values was that of raising creamery butter from 10 to 12 points per pound, the community service member raid Also for first time, OPA made a distinction between farm and ; creamery butter, assigned the j value of 6 points per pound to the farm product. Another important change was the restoration of driec prunes, , raisins and currants to the pro-1 cessed foods rationing list. These items were taken off the ration charts some months ago when hot I weather threatened spoilage to the remainder f the 1942 crop. They were restored to rationing as the 1943 crop moved to market. mark-et. The change in point values reflect re-flect changes in the food supply situation, the community service member said "The generally prevailing decreases of one to two points per poun( in meats show an improvement in the supply sup-ply of meat caused normally at this time of the year by the us- ual heavy marketing of range! meat animals. The higher point value for creamery butter reflects a more restricted supply of the' item than in the pa3t." The War Food Adminstration has found that the consumption of butter near producing areas ' was so great at 10 points per pound that serious shortages were create 'n distant markets. The board member stated that this increased demand along with the production decreases of 5 per cent under August estimates accounted account-ed for the butter point value increase. in-crease. In the case of processed foods for which blue stamps are used, the point value increases for canned can-ned and frozen fruits are accounted account-ed for by unexpected consumption consump-tion of these commodies while anticipated stable demand for canned and frozen vegetables allowed al-lowed maintenance of most point values of these items at the previous pre-vious month's levels. |
