Major Browne was a member of the CBC an- nounce stall at Ottawa before joining Coupons of Dairy Butter Makers letters of inquiry being re- ceived by the Ration Administration of Wartime Prices and Trade Board, it is apparent there is some miscon- ception of the butter ration regula- tion they affect farmers who produce dairy butter. T'o clarify the situation the Ration Administration has issued the following explanation: Every producer of dairy butter must register with his local ration board, from which he receives a re- gistration card. Producers of dairy butter are not rationed in respect of the butter they produce and consume in their houschold, Producers of dairy' butter must not use their coupons to acquire butter except to the extent that the amount of butter they produce and consume in the household is less than the total legal ration of the family, In other words, if the ration is eight ounces per person per week, and the farmer produces butter at the rate of four ounces per person in his family per week, half of the household's coupons may be used to buy butter and the other half must be surrendered to the local ration board, ) However, if the farmer's production is at the rate of more than eight ounces per person per week, he may consume all of it, but in that case he must surrender all of the family's cou- pons.
