Farley, Regional Superintendent of Ration­ ing for Western Ontario, states that there are two distinct classes of meat slaughterers. The first is where a farmer or other person obtains a Licensed Slaughterer’s Permit, holder of this permit must report monthly to the nearest branch of the Ration Administration. The other class includes a farmer who slaugh­ ters meat for his own consumption. He should register at hig local ration board and receive registration card. He is only permitted to sell’ to neigh­ boring farmers for consumption on their own premises. He must report at the end of each month the amount of meat slaughtered during that month and at the same time include coupons on the basis of two pounus per coupon for meat consumed and on the same basis for meat sold to neighboring farmers In neither case is it necessary to surrender more than 5 0 per cent of coupons in the household. Say you saw it in the Times* Advocate. $ Lou Neilly is a typical Ontario farmer with 85 acres just north of Bradford, Two of the Neilly sons joined the R.C.A.F. One son was killed in service. The other is a Flight-Lieutenant on active service. A bond buyer himself, Lou Neilly personally sold $200,000 worth of Victory Bonds in the first four loans to people of his own township* * • 0 When Lou Neilly leans across a fence and chats with neighbors he often talks about Victory Bonds, and that it’s everybody’s duty to buy them. He says something like this—bis message to you: ’'The biggest chore in my life is doing what I can to win this war. I want my son and. his pals, your sons, to get everything they need to do their job over there*—wherever they are. I want too, to put aside what savings I can into Victory Bonds to give my oldest boy a fresh start when he takes off his uniform. You can put savings a great many places, but there is only one place where your savings will give our boys in service the help they need now. Everybody knows that Victory Bonds are as good as dollar bills—and that you can borrow on them any time you need cash—but we should buy bonds as out duty to out fighting men?’ GREAT DANGER IN TMJNMING “THE WAR IS WON” The war could still be lost if we adopted the attitude that all we have to do is coast along to a final victory. Nothing is farther from the truth because we have as yet scarcely turned the corner. The need it still for a greater effort than has yet been made. TEA.■h Ami.mm. have still a long, long way to go before we reach the heart of Ber­ lin. Norway, Denmark, Holland, Bel­ gium, France, Austria, Pelland, Roumania, Greece, a big slice of Russia, three quarters of Italy are still in the hands of the Germans. A large .part of China, Burma. Ma­ lay, the FhiUipines, Dutch East In­ dia, and hundreds of islands of the Pacific are still in the hands of the Japanese. All these have to he won back. In fact the main battles are just beginning, The heaviest fighting is still to come, The greatest ex­ penditure of munitions is still to be made. The greater need of money and more money is more urgent than ever. That is why you are asked to buy Bonds, and More Bonds than you ever did before. Buy all you can!
