FOOD FOR BRITAIN
HOW SURPLUS COUPONS CAN HELP Much has been heard about collecting more food for Britain by sending in not only our spare coupons but also those which we have refrained from using. In order to facilitate this system locally and help those who are anxious to make available more foodstuffs for Britain, boxes have been placed in grocer’s ships in Nelson and into these people may drop the much-needed coupons. Butter coupons must have attached the name of the grocer with whom the donor is registered. Coupons should not be placed in the boxes until after their currency has expired. This is necessary so that no unauthorised use can be made of them, and so nullify any self-denial on Ihe part of the giver. It would be preferable to have coupons during the week following the end of each four-weekly ration period. When meat and butter coupons are not used by anyone in New Zealand the foot', they represent is then definitely available for export. When sugar and tea coupons also remain unused they enable New Zealand to draw on less from overseas and so make more available for others.
