worst positions. With t be utmost
that could be expected in reducing
eonsumption in the supplying ooun-
tries, and even In- the United King-
dom, only relatively smallquantities
could be provided for liberated 'peo-
ples. Canada's expected supplies for
export were placed, at: 200,000,000
pounds of carcass and boneless beef,
with a Possible additional 25,000,000
pounds if it could be made available;
465,000,000. pounds of bacon; 114,000,-
9000 pounds of canned meat.
In the first six months of this year
inspected plants in Canada slaugh-
tered 735,000 head of cattle and the
Canadian Meat Board- exported the
equivalent Or: 80,000,000 lbs, of car-
,> Dass beef; 255,000,000 lbs. -of bacon;
51,000,000 lbs. of canned" meat.
Not At Full Capacity
As at August 22nd, in the second
six months of 1945 the Meat Board
has secured for export only 3,500,000
Bounds of beef`` The estimated
slaughter of cattle at inspected plants
for the last half of 1945 is 825,000
]bead. This represents a weekly av

In, Ontario in the early~ part of this
Year an average of nearly'10,000 head,.
of Cattle per week were slaughtered
in inspected plants, whereas during
the week beginning August 1.3th
slaughtering totalled • 7,019 head.
At Winnipeg the large slaughtering'
centre Far Western Canada, over 12,-
000 head per week were slaughtered
for a period of some weeks during
last fall. For the week ending August
llth the inspected kill was 7,665 head
and for the following 7,281 head.
It is clear, therefore, that the in-
spected plants from which exports
must 11 be derived are not operating to
capacity. The only point at, which
temporary congestion has developed
was Toronto. This was due to spe-
cial circumstances, including the
temporary absence of labor, the holi-
day on V -J Day and fire in a large
Montreal plant which ordinarily would
have received part of the Toronto
cattle.
The •slaughter of 825,000 head, it is
estimated, will enable Canada to
fulfil her canned meat undertaking
but, even on the basis of restricted
consumption, it will provide only an-
other 80,000,000 poundsof beef for
export. This will leave a deficit of
40,000,000 pounds, without taking into
account the requested additional 25,-
000,000 pounds. In the face of this

position, restriction of domestic con-
sumption seems imperative.
Canada has been consuming; and
will continue to consume, practically
all the top .grade* of beef she produc-
es. Before the war these top grade*
were not consumed in any quantity
in Canada because the bulk of such
beef was exported in live cattle to
the United States. 'If that market
were open today exactly the same
condition would prevail.
Reserves In Canada and U.S.
With the war over -additional sup-
plies of beef, no doubt, will gradual-
ly become available. But the ending
of the war in Europe did not improve
the food situation there. Denmark is
the only country in Europe from
which supplies of meat are being
made available to other countries
and the total amount that Denmark
can supply is only "'a fraction of the
need. The scarcity in livestock feed
and the reduced livestock population
will limit meat output in Europe for
some time and the only livestock re-
serves anywhere are the beef cattle
in the United States and Canada. In
both these countries the number of
hogs has been substantially reduced.'
It is believed that Canada will barely
meet her minimum obligation to Bri-
tain of 450;000,000 pounds ,of bacon
this year.
With reduced hog marketing* as
compared with last year and with
potential 'slaughter' . capacity in in-
spected plants at 40,000 head of cattle
a week, it ,should be possible, despite
somewhat restricted quotas in 'unin-
spected plants, to market all the live
stock in Canada if it is Offered with
some measure of regularity. To ac-
complish this those who do. the mar-
keting have the responsibility now
as before the war of regulating the
cattle How. To prevent stidden ex-
cessive movements the co-operation
of all concerned is necessary.
The Meat Board is prepared to pur-
chase beef ;of all grades not required
for the domestic market at establish-
ed floor prices and there are ample
facilities available to clear andship
all purchases. In this connection, the
minister of labor has announced that
Canadian packing plants will be giv-
en first priority in filling their labor
reeds.
Need 'For Slaughter Control
Reviewing the importance of pres-
ent slaughtering regulations in the
meat rationing program, Mr. Grisdal • .
pointed out that these regulations
which became effective July 9th have
been planned to accomplish three ma-
jor purposes:
The first: To establish quotas in
domestic slaughtering so that just
sufficient meat is retained within
this country to satisfy the need of
the domestic Consumer ration, rough-
ly two pounds per person per week,
carcass weight.
The second: To direct a sufficient
volume of live stock through inspect-
ed killing establishments so that
Canada's meat shipments to starving
Europeans and Great Britain, through
the Combined Food Board, may reach
the highest volume possible.
The third: To protect the Cana-
dian price ceiling regulations by with -
from domestic slaughter, all
meat supplies in excessof domestic
reeds and in, so doing t.,u inimize
the threat of black mar t.
Only meat slaughtered in an in-
spected plant may be sent overseas,
hence the necessity for directing live
stock through this channel. The
amount made available for inspection
will depend almost entirely on the
effectiveness of the control of
slaughter .fbr the domestic market
through granting permits and setting
quotas for almost 11,000 smaller op -

Wilfred Greenwood is confined to
his home with a fractured bone in
his ankle sustained while at work
some days ago. An employee of the
Hesky Flax Products, he was stand-

Steamer To Call At Goderich
Information from the office of the
Chicago, Duluth and Georgian Bay
Transit Company, operating the Geor-
gian Bay Line, is that the steamship
South American will carry approxi-
mately 450 passengers, a mixed group
from Cleveland and Detroit, on its
Labor Day cruise in the 'course of
which a call will be made at 'Gode-
rich, southbound; on Friday, Sept. 7.
In a letter previously received by the
town council it was stated that the
South American was scheduled to ar-
rive here at 9 a.m. E.W.T. and leave
at 11 a.m.—Goderich Signal -Star.
To Be District Public Works Engineer
It is announced from Ottaw that
Lt. -Col. Alex A. Anderson, D.S.O., will
take over the post of district engin-
eer for the Dominion Puhlid Works
Department at London on Sept. 4th.
He succeeds the late Harry F. Ben-
nett, who died a few months ago.
'Col. Anderson is a veteran both of
the first Great War, in which he won
the Distinguished Service Order, and
of the war just ended. He is a gradu-
ate. of McGill University in engineer-
ing. Goderich is included in the area
within which Federal public works
will be in his charge.—foderich Sig-
nal -Star.
RATION COUPON DUE DATES
Coupons now valid are butter 116
to 121, sugar 46 to 62, and preserves
33 to 37 and P1 to P15.
The next group of coupons becomes
valid Sept. 20th. They include sugar
63 and 64, butter 122 and preserves
P16 and P17. •
erators who slaughter only for that
market. As a further protection
against black marketing and as an
effective measure in setting quotas,
all meat sold to the trade must be
stamped 'by a person who holds a
slaughter permit.
As a final authority in matters
concerning the granting of permit or
the setting of quotas, " a -board of
review has been set up which is to
sit regularly to deal with special
cases and to make decisions on the
basis of the facts presented by those
concerned. This board is under the
chairmanship of Donald Gordon, chair-
man of the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board, with J'. G. Taggart, head of
the Canadian Meat Board and Mr.
Grisdale as members.
