NEED FOR RATIONING
OUTLINED TO LIONS CLUB
The need for rationing and price
control in Canada was ably pre
sented by Mr. J. W. McLeod of the
War Time Prices and Trade Board
at the Lions Supper meeting in the
Trivitt Parish Hall on Friday eve
ning of last week. The function ol‘
the Board is to see that as far
as possible there is an equitable
distribution of the available supply
of any commodity and to prevent
inflationary prices. Speaking of but
ter he said there were 100,000
pounds a week going to the prison
ers of war overseas and that it was
a sound policy to keep an available
supply always on hand. Sugar, he
said, was an ammunition of war,
great quantities being required.
There was a sugar pool of a number
of the nations, such as Great Brit
ain, China, the U.S,, Canada, etc.
Canada receives her share and it
is alotted accordingly. The meat
situation is being controlled as far
as refrigeration facilities will per
mit. The wool and cotton situation
is acute. Wool enters into practical
ly all clothing requirements and
the armed forces must be supplied
with warm clothing, so that the
domestic supply simply cannot be
filled. The same is true of leather
and footwear. Another problem
creating a shortage is the lack of
skilled labor to meet the demand.
When emergencies do not exist con
trols will be dropped, said Mr. Mc
Leod.

Parkhill Lions Club were guests
at the meeting, and were welcomed
