And as this rationing even includes the farmer who makes butter on, his own farm, it is important that every aspect of the rationing plan is fully understood by ends farm family. For this reason 'Consumer Information Service repeats some of the more important points of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board Order, • Every farmer who• makes his own butter must register with the Beard as a manufacturer of bunter, This can be done by sending his name and address to the nearest local ration board. All 'farmers must register, stating that they are producers of`but- ter, before 'January 31st. A farmer who sells butter made on his farm, either directly to his friends and neighbors, to consumer custom- ers, or to stores, must cellect the proper number of coupons to cover these sales, The toupons used for•butter ration- ing are the brown ones contained ith `the ration books already in use. A coupon is .good for one half pound of butter per person, per week, Each has definite period in which it is valid, and it cannot be used either be- fore, or,after that period, 'or instance, Spare "C" coupons, numbers 8 and 4 are gobd for a half pound of butter each in the Period from January 8 to January 17, amid so On. All tottpotis collected by farmers must be turned into the local ration board offices at 'the end of each month, What IS More, every farmer who makes his own butter, and con- stunes it at borne must turn in enough coupons each month to cover the but: ter eaten by every member of the, household, at the saint rate of One coupon for each half pound, Any further information about the new« rationiu plan can be had by (;:RED CROSS SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING , Society Has A Most Successful.

J. Mc- Murray, Chairman, announced today. Despite the splendid response given by the -people of Huron County in the recent Victory Loam Drive there .is still .an essential need for more and more money to be loaned to the Gov- ernment by means' of War Savings Certificates and Stamps. A total of 8159 people purchased Victory Bonds in the third Victory Loan compared with 6033, in the sec- ond Loan and 4428 in the first Vic- tory Loan.
