Meat Rationing Questions, Answers
Given by Price Administration Office
WASHINGTON, March 24 W)
The office of price administra
tion today Issued the following
questions and answers on meat
rationing:
Q. How many pounds of meat
will I be able to buy for each
person In my family when ra
tioning beglnsT .
A. You are not on a "per
pound" meat ration. What
amount you get depends on
the cut of meat you buy, and
what other rationed foods you
wish to buy with your red
stamps. You will hare 16
points per person to spend
' each week for meats, cheeses,
canned fish, and fats and oils
together.
Q. Will I get more .meat for
my stamps if I buy cuts of high
er point value?
A. Not necessarily. Point
values are determined by a
number of factors In addition
to the amount of edible meat
per pound. Porterhouse steak,
for example, worth eight
points per pound, has a large
bona) beef liver, worth only
six points, has no bone at all.
Q. When rationing begins, can
I be sure that I will find all the
cuts of meat listed on the table
of consumer point values ' in
very store?. :
A. Probably not. In local
ities where there have been
shortages of meat it may take .
little time before markets
will have a complete assort
xnont. However, housewives
can be sure of finding as much
rationed food In any store as
they have points to spend.
Q. Will chain stores, as well
as high-price meat markets, all
charge the same number of
points per pound for the same
cut of meat?
A. Yea. The values are the
same all over the country.
Sliced bacon, boneless picnics,
and most beefsteaks, for exam
ple, will have a value of eight
points per pound, no matter
where you buy them. Just as
pork liver and veal kidneys
will cost five points per pound
in every store.
Q. What should I do If the
butcher cuts off a larger piece
of meat than I asked for and
that costs more points than I
want to spend for meat?
A. As a rule, the. butcher
will be able to reduce the cut
to conform to your available
points. Where this Is Impos
sible, you may be asked to
choose another cut.
I Q. How will the butcher set
the point value of a boned rolled
roast? ;
A. He will weigh the roast
with the bone in to determine
its point value. He may then
remove the bone so the roast
can be rolled if you wish
and the bone is yours.
Q. Must I pay the same num
ber of points per pound for a
whole side of bacon as I do for
sliced bacon I buy In packages?
A. No. A whole slab of ba
con is considered a wholesale
the
cut and will be sold at
"trade" point values.
Q. How will I know how many
points to pay for each cut of
meat?
A. Point prices of retell
cuts will be listed on an offi
cial table of consumer point
values and at least one copy
will be posted in every store.
In addition, each retailer will
have a copy of the point value,
of wholesale cuts. Point val
ues may also be attached to
cuts of meat displayed in show
cases.
Q. May I have round steak
ground for hamburger?
A. Yes. But you must buy
it and give points for it as
steak. You may then have it
ground if you wish.
Q. How do I pay points for
meat which is not cut to just an
even number of points?
A. A fraction of a point Is
dropped if it is less than half
a point, and a full point is
charged If the fraction is more
than one half.
Q. How will I know how many
points I must pay for a cut of
meat If I dont recognize its name
on the table of point values?
A. Your butcher is an ex
pert on meat cuts! ask him
your questions. Many news
papers will carry pictures of
meat cuts and their names.
If your paper does print these
pictures, be sure to cut them
out and save them for future
reference.
Q. May I buy ham, bacon, and

Meat Amounts Depend on
Homemaker's Choice of Cut
The amount of meat under
point rationing that a home
makor can buy per wook will
depend on her choice of cut, ac
cording to Winnlfred K. Olllen,
home demonstration agent.
Since different cuts of meat
have different point values and
cut with larger proportions of
bone have comparatively lower
point values, homemakers will
need to learn to recognise dif
ferent cuts of meat to make
wise choice for her family.
Variety meats such as liver,
sweetbreads, tonguo and kid
neys, are moro perlshnblo and
have lower point values to avoid
possibility of spoilage, How
ever, regardless of the cut of
meat a homemaker may choose,
she will need to stretch the de
licious flavor of meat by com
bining it with other foods. This
will result In more normal meals
and more family satisfaction.
especially to the hard-working
farm and war Industry men and
women.

Chamber President
Warns Country of
Totalitarianism
NEW YORK, March 25 (JPl
Erio A. Johnson, president of
the united states chamber of
commerce, asserts that "there is
some danger that our country
may go totalitarian" and adds
that "if that danger is not avert
ed, the cause of world pence,
too, will be endangered."
Addressing an audience of the
Institute of Arts and Sciences of
Columbia university, the 49-year-old
Spokane businessman
declared last night that "every
time the state subsidises an In
dividual, the state by that act
becomes more authoritative and
the Individual gives up some
right."
