THE STORY BEHIND •
MEAT RATIONING
Food is a weapon of war, and we must share our supplies with those who
are fighting to keep the war from our shores: After all special wartime
demands are taken care of, only one half .. of the meat produced in
Canada will be available for ordinary domestic consumption at home.'
Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must be
maintained at all costs.
.11
•
•
Great Britain. has to depend more and more
on Canada for supplies to maintain even its
present low ration rate of 28 cents worth of
-meat per person, per week.
ASkEIBSIN.•
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.
-r
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. -
'r
THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Fortunately, our meat production in Canada has increased. So, although gnly
half our production will be available for civilian use, it wil mean a reduction
)f'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 fol;•,
the -,health and nutrition standards of everyone—regardless of age or occupation.

Just a few closing words of thanks
to .all the officers and officials who
helped to make our travels so agree-
able, 'and who spared no effort to
meet our slightest wish to see any
special activity; also to the editors
and readers who have written ex-
pressing their appreciation of the ef-
fort to tell them what is going on lot
Britain.
And so we leave our Canadians and
others in Britain, with a feeling of
confidence that when the time. comes,
they will acquit themselves with
glory. As General McNaughton told
us at our last conference with him,
"They are holding the outposts in the
defence of Canada"
In Lincoln Cathedral, there is a
chapel dedicated to the heroes of for-
mer wars; and under some old battle -
scarred flags, held together with net-
ting, I found these words on the wall:
"A moth-eaten rag, on aworm:-eaten
pole,
It does not seem likely to stir a man's
soul;
'Tis the deeds that were done, 'Beath
that moth-eaten rag,
When the pole was a staff, and 'the
rag was a flag."

Back From Florida
Mr. and Mrs. Alex Crawford re-
turned on Saturday. from Florida
where they have spent the winter.
For some years `Mr. and Mrs. Craw-
ford have been winter residents at
St. Petersburg and Alex says that the
weather was .fine but that we in Can-
ada dp not know it but we are living
in clover. Many of the things that
were plentiful in other, years are now
scarce due to the war. When a wo-
mart starts shopping she has to sub-
stitute in many cases and then walk
and walk before she has any luck.
Alex said that they, expected that this
condition would become better as
they travelled north, but it did not.
Alex cleaned up on all the prizes at
the bowling club this year, so when
he, goes back next year he map find
