81 Years Ago
The August 31, 1944 Colorado Transcript reported a recent change in the gasoline rationing policy. “Those using their cars to drive to and from their place of employment will be required to show that they have a share-the-ride group before they can be issued gasoline.”
During World War II, America directed almost all labor, materials, and industrial capacity to the war effort, producing munitions, food, uniforms, vehicles, and shelter for the troops. Consumer goods were almost impossible to get, and rationing was in force.
Truck tires were also in critical demand. Only 425 tires had been allocated to the state of Colorado.
Lumber was scarce, but farmers were being given a special exemption, allowing them to buy small amounts (up to 300 board feet) of lumber for essential maintenance and repair.
