Quotas have 'been reduced from what the' butchers have been used to killing and selling, the butchers pro- tested. Difficulty would probably be experienced in filling their customers' needs, they felt. What atcion should be taken by the association, if any, was left with the executive. It was felt that a meeting should be held in the near future to discuss the situation. Details of meat rationing, which 'is expected to go in effect early in Sep- tember, were explained to about GO retail butchers by E.' Clancy, of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, London. Also present at the meeting were M. J. Bindner and P. J. Rueffer, of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board ration division, Kitchener, C. R. May, London; George Christenson and R. T. Barnes, of the Retail Merchants' Association, Toronto. The new meat rationing system will be changed considerably from that in effect when meat was rationed form- erly. This is due to the fact that cooked and fancy meats, formerly un- rationed, will be included in the new ration plan, and tokens will be issued as change from the regularly issued ration coupons. A deep blue in color, the tokens are about the size of a five-cent piece with a hole in the middle. They have a value of eight per regular ration coupon. Tokens will be distributed to the butchers according to the number of their customers, Each merchant, it is understood, will notify the ration board of the number of customers he serves. He will then complete a voucher indicating the number of to- kens he will require, and will obtain them at the banks. "I should like to see the judge, please." "Softy, sir, but he is at dinner." "But I must see him on a matter of vital importance I" "Can't 'be helped, sir; his honour is at steak."
