RATIONING IN CANADA
COUPONS FOR TEA AND SUGAR As everyone knows, butter .is strictly rationed in Britain, but it may not be generally known that the rationing of. butter is also contemplated in Canada. Writing to a friend in Invercargill, a Toronto resident says: "We are gradually getting rationed over here but we have nothing to complain about yet.. We use coupons for tea, sugar, and coffce, and, I expect Ave shall be using them for butter soon. There was quite a scarcity of m'c«it for a while, but it is much beater now. Eggs are getting high in price.''' The shortage of butter and meat in Canada is probably because Canada is neither a cattle-rasing nor a sheepbreeding country. The rationing of coffee mas'- no doubt be accounte-d for by the fact that many Canadians, like the Americans, prefer coffee ilo tea.
