To make use of every resource possible, the federal government imposed strict regulations about the purchase and consumption of goods. In each county, local citizens were put in charge of regulating the market. A parent could not even buy a bicycle for a child without permission, since metal frames and rubber tires were made of scarce commodities. Most groceries were controlled by rationing; that is, individual families could buy only so much of any item each month. Families were issued ration books and could only use the coupons inside for buying certain amounts. Prices were controlled by the coupons, and if a family ran out of coupons before the end of the month, they had to make do with what they had. Since gasoline was needed for the war effort, it was strictly limited. People drove only when they had to. One North Carolinian coped by building an electric car to get to work. Its “two V-8 Ford starter motors” were powered by two car batteries. He steered with a lever and sat in a plywood box. Families again were encouraged to plant “victory gardens” to raise more of their own food. What are some ways North Carolinians sacrificed for the war? Check all that apply.

Markets were not allowed to sell meat.
Residents could no longer use gasoline.
Families planted gardens to grow their own food.
Customers had to use ration books at the grocery store.
The sale of items made from metal and rubber was regulated.
