[or-roots] Government Ration Stamps 1940s

[E V Barnes]

Every family had one.  Butter, Meat, Eggs, Gasoline, shoes hard toget, no vehicles produced
fall of 41-46.  Gasoline had A, B, C. windshiled
stickerthere may have been more.  We used to
watch the P-38's and P-39's in mock dogfights
over the skys of Oakland.  Later the Blackwidow
could be seen going out in the eveing sky.

There were several false alarms.  One Jap sub
did fire on the southern coast.  Did little or no
damage.  

During the middle of the war my father's shop
repaired a buick that had been side swiped by
the flatbed carrying a minature Jap sub.

  Is there anyone on the list who knows how Government Ration stamps were issued around 1944-1945?  Who were they issued to?  How old did you have to be in order to be issued the stamps? How quickly could they be issued?  Please contact me offline and I can give you more information. Thanks!
