PERMITNEEDED The Price Board issued an order' last Tuesday placing under permit all slaughtering of livestock for the sale ofo sheat. The measure is designated to obtain more complete control of meat supplies throughout Canada. The order specifies that after Janu- ary 1, 1943, "no person shall unless he has previouslyobtained a permit from the foods administrator (J G Taggart) or anv other person authorized by the board, operate an abattoir or slaughter -house, or slaw ghter livestock er have livestock sia'. ughtered for him if the meat so ob- tained is sold or ,offered for sale ix fresh, frozen or other processed form." This order does not apply to any fanner or livestock produeer,. who slaughters livestock for his hou- seholdconsumption only. But it he slaughters animals for retail or other sale, n a public market or Qiihexwiseo- a permit is then required. Dead and Disabled Animal's REMOVED PROMPTLY Phone: Collect: Exeter 235. Seaforth 15 DARLING and CO. Of CANADA LTD. (ESSENTIAL WAR INDUSTRY), ,STAT EME NT about In spite of the fact that in some Canadian cities butter supplies recently have not been sufficient to meet the greatly increased demands, the situation does not constitute an emergency: nor is it as serious as some people seem to think. There are two main causes for these temporary and local shortages: For the past year we have been consistently using 10% to 15% more batter than in normal times— with consequent disturbance to the distribution' of our butter supplies. Many people have been buying more butter than they currently need. The limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fact that if every home would .reduce its consumption of butter by only one ounce per person per week (for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a week)—or if we reduced our national consumption to the peacetime rate --the shortage would soon disappear. There is no Reason for Panic Buying • It is unpatriotic and unnecessary bOurs to the nearest grocery store. HOW TO SAVE BUTTER AT i1EAL-'CMI. 1. lTse hatter only for spreading On bread. 0. Never use butter just out of the refrigerator. Wait until it is soft enough to spread easily. 3. Add a small 'amount: of milk when creaming butter for . sandwiches. IN COOKING 1. Do not use butter in baking and cooking, when lard, shor- tening or meat dripping can be used. .l7se level measurements of butter.... Guesswork means waste: 3. When adding cheese to a cream or white sauce, use only half amount of butter stated in recipe. 4. Use paper wrappings from but- ter to grease baking dishes, 5, Do not use butter for re- warming vegetables, 6. Serve meat gravy to avoid the use of extra butter on potatoes. 7. When adding butter to vege- table dishes, add it sparingly. Do not melt it and then pour on, for housewives to rush out to beat their neigh - Butter wilt not be rationed to meet the present situation. Butter production is actually above normal for this time of year. The Board itself is taking special action which it is believed will speedily restore normal supplies in retail stores. These supplies will however be adequate for normal consuinption, if housewives in all parts of Canada co-operate. Yqu can help in these wags: Scrupulously avoid waste and' extravagance. Waste is wrong at all tithes. In time of war it is sabotage. Reduce present eonsunliption of butter by at least one ounce per person per week --(for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a week.) Do not buy more than Set needed for immediate use. $Iw
