Board, in an address before the Lions Club at tbeir supper meeting in the Trl- vitt parish hail on Friday evening of last week. Tho first reason is to make sure that each and every one gets his fair share of commodi­ ties made scarce on account of the war, The second reason is to re­ duce the total 'quantity of the com­ modity used, Every ton of sugar saved releases a ton of shipping space for war materials, This year it will be necessary to ship 40 per cent of the on eat produced in Can­ ada overseas. In order to do this we must reduce local consumption by '20 per cent. Although meat is rationed we must not increase our consumption of eggs and other com­ modities. We must tighten our belts and live up to the spirit of ra­ tioning, or further rationing of commodities must result. In Canada 525 Local Ration Boards have beep set up. This was done to ease the pressure on the of­ fices of the larger centres and more particularly to bring the facilities of an office dose to the individuals of every community. The Board also provides a responsible group of rep­ resentative citizens who know lo­ cal conditions and if necessary can provide information on individual cases. This board acts in an ad­ visory capacity to headquarters on all matters that may arise in their district. The Local Ration Board serves the villages of Exeter and Hensall and the townships of Usborne, Ste­ phen and Hay. Tlie members are B. W. Tuckey, chairman; R. N. Creech, vice-chairman; Mrs. Earl Russell, Exeter; Laird Mickle and Mrs. R. H. Middleton, Hensall; Ar­ chie Morgan, Usborne; H. K. Eilber and Dr. R. H. Taylor, Stephen and George Armstrong, reeve of Hay. This board serves approximately 10,000 people. The first major effort of •board was the distribution of tion books. The second was receiving of applications 'for sugar for’ canning.- One hundred and eighty-three tons were applied for by approximately 8,900 people. Coupons will be issued for this su­ gar as soon as ftu/lmr instructions are received. ; « Mr. Pickard stated that the local ration office offers the following services: Providing ration books for new applicants, including infants, new residents in Canada and men and women discharged from the services; replacing lost ration books; providing temporary ration cards to service men and women on leave or on subsistence and to visitors from outside Canada; accepting ap­ plications for extra rations required on account of ill health; registration ; name, changes; small permits to farm- the ra­ the BACK THE ATTACK — BUY VICTORY BONDS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiHiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiui Special Values for Thursday, Friday & Saturday Aylmer Choice Peas Large 20-oz. tins ...........
