Eat Mutton For Victory, Scully Appeals
(Special) SYDNEY, This Day. Australian greyhounds may have to sacrifice their beef ration for the war effort. Beef 4 supplies must be carefully distributed to ensure adequate meat for tinning for the Allied forces in Australia. The racing greyhound, for his size, is the most voracious beef-eater in the Commonwealth, according to a Commerce Department report. Because of the shortage of beef and the surplus of mutton the Minister for Commerce (Mr Scully) is appealing to Australians to “Eat Mutton for Victory." Regulations to conserve beef supplies will be issued and if the appeal does not have the desired effect feeding beef to dogs will be banned. Beef tinned and in concentrated form for iron rations is the staple diet of the fighting forces, particularly the Americans, who have been unable to cultivate a palate for mutton.
