Butter Ration Going Up
To Half -Pound Per Week
OTTAWA, Feb. 22 — L 13. Unwin,
administrator rationing for the
Prices Hoard, announced tonight
that, barring bud weather or other
unforeseen c•ircunts'tances, the board
will be ahie to resume the regular
butter ration .allowance of half
a pound per person per week by
about the middle or March,
Donald Gordon, chairmen o,'. the
Prices Board, told The Cue achau
Press that "we hope to be able to
do something in the course of the
next two weeks—or not later than
March 15.".
The present butter ration, ao-
complished ,by the elimination of
two coupons which normally would
Sall due in.. February, amounts to
8% mom. per person per week.
Mr. Unwin said the temporary
reduction in the butter ration is
producing the desired results: "The
conservation of supplies which has
resulted will enable retailers in all 1
areas to honor butter coupon No, 9,
which becomes due next week,"
He said stores now are accuma-
Mating ,stoops for this purpose.;
"Current reports of production are
enoounaging, but as this ie the
period of lowest butter production,
supplies Have had to be conserve !
ed in order to avoid a serious r
shortage. The oancellation o'f two
coupons in February has assured
eu,fdcient reserves will be available i
March 1 to permit every person
to obtain the regular eight -ounce '
allowance for coupon No. 9." r
Tea, coffee and, sugar coupons in
the new ration book are dated, and
the first ones become tjegottab1e
March 6. Dates on which the but-
ter coupdh,s become valid and ex- v
Aire will tie announced shortly. '
