MEAT RATIONING
BRITISH PREPARATIONS British "Wireless LONDON, Feb. 5 Officials of the Food Ministry to-day stated that the Minister, Mr. W. S. Morrison, will announce the commencement date, and the quantity, of meat rationing very shortly. Adverse weather conditions have affected transport, which is largely concerned in the working of the scheme. Meat control, which began on January 15, is working smoothly, and there have been very large supplies of imported meat available. Mr. H. S. E. Turner has been appointed director of livestock and homeproduced meat, and Mr. R. S. Forsyth, director of imported meat, says a United Press Association message. Both have been associated with the New Zealand meat trade.
