WRITES FROM ENGLAND
Relatives in Elimville of Lieut.
Bessie Bell, army nurse, have re
ceived a V airmail letter which ar
rived from England in eight days.
It was written on Easter Sunday
morning and part of it is as follows:
‘‘Would like the address on the
Exeter paper changed again as I
miss it. I suppose everyone is out
in their spring clothes today—or is
it too clold? We had a very nice
Easter service at our church here
this morning and you could hear
the church bells ringing in the sur
rounding villages. No doubt you
heard over the radio about the
church bells ringing today for the
first time since the beginning of
war. It is beautiful here just now;
the trees are out so nice and green
as well as many in blossom, although
is is very windy—too cold for Eas
ter clothes, even if we had them.
We hope to get our new khaki uni
forms real soon. As far as I know
I am getting all your letters and I
am .answering each one. Hope
everyone is well.
Love,
Bessie

THE STORY BEHIND
MEAT RATIONING
Food is a weapon of war, and we must share our supplies with those who
are fighting to keep the war from our shores. After all special wartime
demands are taken care of, only one half of the meat produced in
Canada will be available for ordinary domestic consumption at home.
Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must be
maintained at all costs.Canned meat is required in large quantities
by the Red Cross to send to our boys who
are prisoners of war.
Great Britain has to depend more and more
on Canada for supplies to maintain even its
present low ration rate of 28 cents worth of
meat per person,' per week.Places like Newfoundland and the West Indies,
which previously secured their meat from
other sources—must now depend, to a great
extent on Canada.
Since the war started the consumption of
meat by civilians has increased in Canada.
Great defense projects such as the Alcan
Highway and the Shipshaw Power Develop
ment have created new and large demands
for meat in areas where practically no demand
existed before.
The many extra ships of the United Nations
now calling at Canadian ports, must be
furnished with meat.
RATIONING IS INTELLIGENT FORESIGHT- INTELLIGENT PLANNING
Coupon rationing is the only way of ensuring equal sharing of the meat available
for civilian consumption in Canada. Those with lots of money will not get more
than their share—and those with less money will be assured of getting
their fair share.
Rationing will help prevent local meat shortages such as occurred last year from
becoming widespread and continuous throughout the whole Dominion. The
incentive for panic-buying which empties butcher shops early in the day,
will be eliminated.
THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION

Fortunately, our meat production in Canada has increased. So, although only
half our production will Be available for civilian use, it wil mean a reduction
of only about 15% to 20% in the average household consumption.
The proposed ration of 2 lbs* (carcass weight) per person, per week, has been
approved by the country’s leading food and nutrition authorities, as ample for
the health and nutrition standards of everyone—regardless of age or occupation.

wJ ▼ E met on Main .Street. Jim had his
usual ready smile, even when he got telling
me liow hard up he was.
"Seems funny,” he said, "I’m earning
more these days, but I just can’t seem to
keep it.
"Taxes, Victory bonds and all those other
things coming off my pay.”
He paused, then went on slowly.
"At least it seems as though I can't save
anything. Actually, of course, those war bonds
are my savings. I’m glad I’ve salted away a
few of them. And you can count me in on the
Fourth Victory Loan too!”
