What Britain Thinks Of Canadian Bacon One of the Dominion Department of Agriculture staff now with Canada's active forces overseas dropped into a British grocery store the other day. Through the window he had seen several Wiltshire sides on display and he decided that this was the place to find out what a typical small grocer thought about Canadian bacon. As soon as the grocer learned that the soldier had formerly been in hog pro- duction, he went out of his way to show him around the shop, saying, "Your Canadian bacon is in higher favour with our ettStOttideS t11411 before!' The grocer and his Ildipdrati at- tratiVe gild —showed the visiting soi. diet how they tut the sides to into retail 'NM Virg, they tbilloVe the ribs—once at a, 611 then the thotilder NEW AIR CHIEF The youngest air vice-mai:21-ml In the history of the MAX'. is Hr :y Broadhurst, pictured ABOVE. He is in command of the Allied air force in the western desert. and ham bones and short shanks, They worked quickly but with such care that hardly a particle of bacon was sacrificed. No wonder British retailers take great care in boning a Wiltshire side. All the bacon they are allotted each week is four ounces for each customers plus ten per cent for bones. The Canadian soldier observ- ed that the entire Wiltshire side was handled as if it were gold. And Brit- ish consumers relish it, eagerly buying their four-ounce ration every week. In this four-ounce ration everything is included—cuttings, trimmings, and what is important, every ounce of fat. No matter how badly she may want good lean bacon for her household, the British housewife has to take her share of this fat. To encourage the • production of lean bacon, the British :Ministry of Food pays a premium for the most desirable grades of Wiltshire: sides. These can be obtained °Misr from hogs whose carcasses grade Grade A carcasses are permitted only: specified amounts of fat, length, and other kinds of conformation, and they must be within the weight range o' 140 to 170 pounds. Canadian farmers know that their reward in marketing hogs at the required weights is not only in the premiums but in the satis- faction of supplying the British people with bacon in its most economical form. SPECIAL RATIONS AVAILABLE FOR ALL FORCES ON LEAVE' Up to March 6th rations were not. granted to anyone needing them for less than seven days. But since that date a new temporary ration card has • been issued. It is really one card dos- ing the work of two and food dearer should be acquainted with it, It starts out as a two-week ratio., coupon sheet issued to service men, ,sr- women on leave or civilian visitors. from other countries. Those needing rations for four or six weeks may baves two or three of these sheets in theErs possession. Each contains. 1 sugar coupon 1 tea or coffee coupon 2 butter coupons 4 spare "A" coupons 1 spare "B" coupon and 2 spare "C" coupons. By tearing one butter coupon from.: the corner of this card and cancelling - the spare coupons, the Ration Admin- istration has hit upon an economical" way of making a five-day temporary; coupon sheet, particularly useful tss men of the armed forces on five or ten days' leave.
