ONE FRESH EGG
Lean Rations Will Prevail In Britain RESTRICTIONS ON TRAVEL Rec. noon. CANBERRA, this clay. The British people are excited because one fresh egg will be allowed to everybody this Christmas. This is reported by the leader of the United Kingdom food mission to Australia and New Zealand, Mr. Bankes Amery, who said Britain's fifth wartime Christmas would be the most austere of the war. "The whole nation is looking forward to a two-day holiday," added Mr. Amery. "Family reunions will be difficult because the trains are much reduced and no petrol is allowed for private motoring, even at Christmas." The ration of butchers' meat for Christmas week would remain at only l/ 2 worth for each adult and 7d worth for each child. No large ioints would be provided for families. About 500.000 turkeys had been made available, but they would not go far among 47,000,000 people. Restaurants were prohibited from serving turkey, except on Christmas Day.
