You might be referring to "rationing." Supplies that were critical to the war effort, or that required production resources that were critical were "rationed" to civilian populations in order to distribute the limited amounts equitably. Families were provided "ration cards" for various products: gasoline, butter, shortening and grease, rubber items, meat, sugar, etc. The ration cards were issued to families and individuals depending on need, not wealth. This also helped to limit price inflation in these items. The system was not perfect. There was an active "black market" in rationed goods, but penalties for getting caught were severe, and most people considered black market participation to be extremely unpatriotic. Makes one wonder about the present crisis in oil and gasoline, doesn't it?
