MEAT RATIONS
SHORTAGE IN BERLIN. « By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON. January 3. The ’ Daily Telegraph" says the meat ration reduction was announced during a week in which housewives in many parts of the country are receiving .-mailer joints as the result of a general shortage which has forced the butchers to make an unofficial cut in the ration well below the is. lOd. level. Many retailers are allotting only Is. 2d. worth. Butchers in one area reduced the ration to sixpence. The shortage is due to the fact that the Ministry of Food was forced to release less meat than usual largely because of difficulties follownig the Christmas distribution. The "Evening News" says some north London butchers were forced to close yesterday because they had no meat and that others opened for a few hours till they sold out. The Ministry has reduced the ration from Is. Kid. worth of meat a head a week to Is. (Id. worth from Monday next. From that date pork and most offals will be included in the ration.
