S. neighbors have been telling about their meat ration. ing sufferings. A grimy one was the case of the dog carrying a bone while a housewife said to her hus- band, Watch where the buries t and I'll set the water on to boil", Now we are being given an opportunity to find if the jokes seem so funny when they are happening to us. iAs a peaple we are inclined not to laugh quite as much as our neigh- bors( our one humorous magazine, Goblin, died more than a decade ago) but we have had considerable exper- ience in suffering and will not droop unduly under this new form of it. Our morale tends to be solid rather than high. Meat rationing will not find us going around acting funny by meditatively stroking plump pussy- cats or licking our chops at the sight of a passing rat rnan;, but meat rat- ioning, as with the many wartime re- strictions where we .showed our great neighbours the Way, will be borne along with all the rest of our share of the world's troubles. After all, we put up with the Canadian winters, so we can stand anything. - -
