River on Rampage The torrential rains on Tuesday of last week caused discomfort and inconvenience to many in the district The low lying lands were lakes of water. Many cellars were flooded and in some instances the water rose so high that furnaces were put out. The Bayfield River, fed by swollen streams, went on a rampage and car- ried great trees, logs, limbs, etc., out into the lake in its muddy current. It rose in height level with the fish- ermen's clocks. They were nervous a- bout their boats and had to tie them more securely. Never, do they rem- ember the river being so high at this time of year. The Goderich and Min - on roads were impassable owing to wash outs and others were too soft to traverse. The foot bridge between Maxwell's house and their refresh- ment stand was washed away and there was a small cave in 011 the north approach to the foot bridge. Womens' Institute Mrs. C.

After all special wartime only one half of the meat produced in ordinary domestic consumption at home. Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must be maintained at all costs. s 4440 4.40444.44., 4.44.44444 Great Britain has to depend more and more on Canada for supplies to maintain even its present low ration rate of 23 cents worth of meat per person, per week. Since the war started the consumption of meat by civilians has increased in Canada. Great defense projects such as' the Alcan Highway and the Shipshaw Power Develop- ment have created new and large demands for meat in areas where practically no demand existed before. Canned meat is required in large quantities by the Red Cross to send to our boys who are prisoners of war. Places like Newfoundland and the West Indies, which previously secured their meat • from other sources—must now depend to a great extent on Canada. The many extra ships of the United Nations now calling at Canadian ports, must be furnished with meat. RATIONING IS INTELLIGENT FORESIGHT --- INTELLIGENT PLANNING Coupon rationing is the only way of ensuring equal sharing of the meat available, for civilian consumption in Canada. Those with lots of money will not get more than their share—and those with less money will be assured of getting their fair share. Rationing will help prevent local meat shortages such' as occurred last year from becoming widespread and continuous throughout the whole Dominion. The incentive for panic -buying which empties butcher shops early in the day, will be eliminated. THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION Fortunately, our meat production in Canada has increased. So, although only half our production will be available for civilian use, it wil mean a reduction of only about 15% to 20% in the average household consumption. The proposed ration of 2 lbs. (carcass weight) per person, per week, has been approved by the country's leading food and nutrition authorities, as ample for the health and nutrition standards of everyone—regardless of age or occupation.
