Meat is one of the most critical needs. -- As a great food-producing nation, Canada must, can--and will--help to meet this emergency. That is why slaughtering has been placed under strict control. That is why ration coupons will soon be used again by Canadians to buy meat. There is only one objective:--To reduce meat consumption in Canada in order to provide direct aid for the hungry peoples of Europe. Slaughter Control Farmers who slaughter meat for their own or their farmer neighbor's use are required to submit monthly reports (Form RB-61) and to surrender coupons for the meat they use and sell. Any excess of meat over the farmer's or his neighbor's needs may be sold only to the holder of a regular slaughter permit. The minimum amount which a farmer may sell to such a permit holder is one quarter of beef or half a hog carcass. Sheep, lambs or Calves slaughtered by a farmer for his own or his neighbor's use may not be sold into the meat trade. locker Operators Under the meat rationing regulations, locker operators are required to submit a list of their patrons to the nearest Ration Branch Office. A supply of Consumer Declaration forms is being forwarded to each locker operator who will, in turn, distribute them to his patrons. The patron is responsible for completing the form and filing it with the Ration Branch Office. Consumers must surrender coupons for all meat held in lockers over and above 4 lbs. for each person in the household at a rate of 2 lbs. per coupon. However, no more than 50% of the "M" coupons in the ration books of the consumer and his household need be surrendered. MEAT RATIONING FACTS Amount of Ration will be roughly 2 lbs. (carcass weight) per person, per week. Rationed Meats. All cooked, canned, fancy and "red" meats. Unrationed Meats--beef brain, head, tail, blood, tripe; calf brain, head; pork brain, head, tail, pigfeet, spare ribs; lamb brain, head, tail, fries; poultry, game and fish (canned or fresh). Coupons--brown "M" coupons in Ration Book No. 5. One coupon will become valid each week. Coupon Values--Group "A", 1 lb. per coupon; Group "B", 1 Vz lbs. per coupon; Group "C", 2 lbs. per coupon; Group "D", 2Vz lbs. per coupon; Group "E", 3 lbs. per coupon. Tokens. Tokens, eight of which are equivalent to one coupon, will be used as coupon change. Farmers must turn in to their Local Ration Boards a coupon for each 4 lbs. of meat (carcass weight) they use in their households from their Own slaughterings. So that they may buy other meats from their butchers, no more than one-half of the valid coupons in the hands of the farmer and his household need be surrendered. Farmers who sell meat to a neighbour farmer must collect coupons at the rate of 4 lbs. (carcass weight) per coupon. s your assurance of a fair share, a protection against waste... shortages... inflation: That is why farmers are asked to continue to collect and turn in coupons to their Local Ration Boards--once a month--in the RB-61 envelope.
