4 6 8 JAM RATION SPECIAL FOOD FACTS A special ration of jam will be available for the three four-weekly rationing periods starting September 19th, October 17th and November 14th. In each of these periods housewives will be able to buy the ordinary preserve ration and in addition an extra pound of certain jams (the list is given below) on each ration book. This has been made possible because last year, when we had a bumper plum crop, the Ministry of Food and the manufacturers took the pre- caution of preserving large quantities of plums in the form of pulp in case this year's fruit crop should fail.
