So I took a stroll clown to the Consumers Branch of the Wartime Prices Board and said "How about it?" Got talking about the rural women in relation to price control and rationing. Found that re- presentation of rural women in Con- sumer branch committees is taken seriously, For instance when it came to granting extra rations for tempor- ary farm help, their wishes were real- ly considered. Arrangements have been made for farm women to obtain extra rations, whenever they serve 12 meals or more.
