llew Ration “Books To Be Distributed Dctpber l4-21

OTTAWA, Allg. 27 -- (GP) -The Prices Board announced today that ration book No. 5 will be distribu- ted to the Canadian public the week of Oct. 14-21. and said coupons w.ll be included in the new book to co- ver “emergencies that may arise."

K. . Taylor, co-ordinator of the Foods Administration, said the situation regarding rationed com- modities was examined regularly every few months to determine their position in the light of any new developments-A study now was be- ing made of the preserves ration pic- ture to s99 what action should be ta- ken should the sugar supply situat- ion become worse.

Mr. Taylor said he believed the sugar situation in 1945 was likely to be "tough". However, crop prospects could not be accurately forecast un- til abnut the end of the year. Europe was likly to require large allocations of sugar out of the 1945 crop.

The board's announcement said it. was generally felt that it would be wiser to reduce the quota of sugar to industrial users than to cut the regular ration to consumers.

Officials said the butter situation was unlikely to become any better.

n lilo first seven months of this ycar huttcr Production fell by l0.- 3001100 pounds or 5.5 per cent com- pared with the corresponding months of i043. Creamery butter consumpt- fion has increased 20,000,000 pounds in the same seven-month period.

Officials said a stock-taking of the

tea and coffee situation will be made some time this fall. In April, coupon values ivrre raised to four ounces for tea or 16 ounces for coffee. with lwo coupons valid each month. Previous- ly coupon values were two ounces for tro and eight ounces for coffee, with‘ two coupons valid every three wee s.
