In any Ration Coupon Banking came into . effect Marelt 1st in $,200 branches of the chartered books throughout Can- ada, For the first time Canadian .business houses will now be writing cheques, and the -banks holding accounts, cooresseu in terms of cou- pons for sugar, tea or coffee, or butter, Instead of in terms of dollars and ceots. The system will, of course, not interfere with- the normal method of settling accounts between merchants which will continue to be paid -by cash, bank ohegue, etc. L. B. Unwin, Administrator of Con- sumer Rationing for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board stated that the arrangement is one whereby con- siderable additions to the Ration Ad- ministration's staff will be averted and the details of handling coupons by certain retailers, wholesale houses and suppliers. will be greatly 'simplified. "Coupon -Ration Banking" Mr. Unwin said "will go a long way towards solv- ing the problems of siphoning off, accurately accounting for and prevent- ing dangerous, accumulations of cou- pons." Outlining the system, Mr. Unwin re- marked: "Soon it will not even he novel for a meroiiant to write a ration cheque ,for the coupon equivalent of 1,000 pounds of butter or sugar, tea or coffee, and have- it charged against his 'Ration Coupon- Account' for that commodity. Every retailer wholesalers and pro- ducer or distributor of rationed com- modities is affected. Here is how it work.

Depending on whether his turn- over in foods is large, medium or small he will deposit these coupons in a 'Reition Coupon Bank ,Account', ex-. change them -for a 'Bank Transfer Voucher' or send them direct to his supplier with his order for a--fresh stock of the commodity represeoted. The large retailer, the 'wholesaler, manufacturer and other supplier deal- ing in rationed commodities will have a .separate 'Ration Coupon Account' on the books of his bank for each com- modity, which will -be expressed in coupons instead of dollars. To thes'e accounts he will deposit all coupons, ration cheques and other ration docu- ments received from consumers or dealers, When it is necessary for him to replenish his stock of a rationed commodity, instead of having to send his supplier an immense number of coupons and other ration documents he will simply issue a cheque on his Ration Coupon Account for the nom- ben of coupons his order represents. The simplicity and convenience of this method for both purchaser and' sup- plier will be apparent. In clue course, after checking and inspection, the coupons deposited' at the banks will 'be destroyed in the presence of official witnesses. In addition to those. who sell' rationed goods against' the surrender of coupons there are the hotels, rest- aurants, hospitals and the like who serve meals which include - rationed goods. These concerns operate on a quota and are known as 'Quota Users' and for them and their suppliers the system evolved by the banks will be particularly helpful.
