V Women Find Rations of Meat Sufficient Meat rationing is going into its ninth week and Western Ontario reel - dents are taking it in their stride. This is the opinion of W. Harold McPhil- lips, Prices and Supply Representative of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board for Western Ontario. People who doubted if the scheme was prac- tical are now the most enthusiastic supporters, Mr, McPhillips said. In the early weeks of rationing, housewives were buying unrationed cuts in an effort to conserve their coupons. Now, these same women are finding out that the rations are ample for their needs and are cashing their coupons regularly. They have stopped buying the unrationed cuts in large quantities: Hamburg, and sausages, which were moving slowly with the retail but- chers because housewives were buying unrationed and more expensive cats are steadily regaining their popularity said Mr. McPhillips. Across the Surrey fields, their song Brings a new hope to every heart, To meet the challenge of slut hour The church, ea always, plays a part. The bells of England ring again, Their swelling notes sound far and wide The lights are shining out once snore Across the quiet country side The joyous beIls are pealing out A message to the Beasts of men, To come to the throne of grace, To come and worship God again. :Wm.
