"Point Rationing of Foods" is a Warner Bros. cartoon sending an important message from the government of the United States. Narrated by the ubiquitous Robert C. Bruce, this cartoon deals with the scarcity of food during wartime and the requirement for American citizens to do their part by utilizing ration stamps for grocery shopping. I hadn't yet been born during the Second World War, so I can only imagine that this point rationing might have been a true burden for some folks, but our troops sorely needed the support.
Although this cartoon is primarily educational, it occasionally injects a little humor & liveliness into the proceedings. For example, I laugh at the scene in which four people hurriedly walk into a grocery store and walk out carrying different amounts of food, one heavyset man carrying a gigantic pile, one scrawny man hunching over with nothing to carry. I also enjoy the scene depicting a woman swaggering out a grocery store after using her ration stamps.
That's about all I wish to write about "Point Rationing of Foods", except that it exists as a bonus cartoon on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 Disc 3.
