Herrick, July 1942 - March, 1946; Dr. Charles L. Richardson, Jan. 2, 1943 - Nov. 10, 1945.
Ration Stamps: An immense Ration Stamp Program for necessities was instituted during the
war. It was an involved system and everyone must sign up for stamps. I had B gasoline stamps,
food (canned), and shoe stamps for each in the family - four members in our case. Sugar was
also rationed. We always had enough except for shoes. One could apply for extra stamps. I had
to ask for extras for the children. I always got them.
Canned food - vegetables and fruits - were no problem because my parents raised beautiful
vegetables. I canned tomatoes, green beans, and succotash as well as peaches, some other fruits
such as grape juice and grape jelly, also squash which made wonderful "pumpkin pie." I
processed the canned goods in a pressure outfit Charley had used years before to sterilize
equipment at his office. The home-canned foods always kept and were delicious.
Meat was something else. My butcher, Ned Hart, always had some meat for me, a few cuts of
beef, a few pounds of ground beef. I always got my share for my family. Our favorite protein
food stretcher was tuna and egg casserole. I made a white sauce, added the tuna, chopped
hard-cooked eggs, some cooked peas and put it in individual brown pottery casseroles with
buttered crumbs on top and into the oven to heat and brown. Adding some fresh vegetables, fruit,
cookies and milk made a satisfying and balanced meal. We were never hungry or without having
a well-balanced meal in store.
Gasoline rationing was no problem. As head of a household I was eligible for B stamps which
gave me all the gasoline I needed.
