the “magic eye” which locates
moving targets despite fog, cloud,
darkness or distance. Canada has
played an’ outstanding part in

. making this weapon for Allied

For instance, the gov-

and optical instruments valued at

No Extra Rations

e °
For Welcoming

The Ration Administration is
receiving many requests to pro-
vide rationed foods to organiza-
tions tendering official welcomes
to returning service men and wo-
men.

While in hearty sympathy with
such receptions, the board points
out that it is unable to gr ant any
extra allotments for such’ fune-
tions. . Rationed foods are just
not available to meet the demands
that’ would’ be created by such a
practice. The rations set for con-
sumers of butter, sugar and pre-
serves are based on
supplies available and anticipated
production. - If these commodi-
ties are drawn from. such stores

; it simply means further reduction

in the rations to consumers.
Promoters of such receptions
must, therefore, arrange to pro-
vide the necessary refreshments
from the individual rations of the
organizations concerned.
