I remember that oleo with the "button" in the bag of white stuff, and how LONG it took to squish, squeeze and knead it to make it all a uniform yellow!!! Thank Heaven for yellow oleo now!!! And the oleo we got then was not as much like butter as what we get now, either!!! -----Original Message----- From: can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-usa-migration-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Paulette Sent: Sunday, July 05, 2009 11:07 AM To: fenenga@connpoint.net; can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] WWII rationing in America I was very small, but remember hearing about the lack of sugar and gas and definitely remember OLEO!! My sisters and I took turns breaking the red capsule and mixing the color in to make the white oleo yellow in the bag. Also remember buying US War Bond Stamps at the post office and filling up a card with them. Some if these things were after we won the war. Paulette E.
