While there are still shortages of certain food items, the general food picture is somewhat brighter now than it was at this time last year. according to a recent Wartime Prices and Trade Board survey in the Central Ontario region. Surplus lamb, killed in the fall, are beginning to be used up and lamb will not be as plentiful as it was a month ago. Anyone wanting a chicken can get one whereas turkeys are becoming difficult to buy. In the field of vegetables, Canada has been able to import from the United States sufficient potatoes to take care of current needs and to« matoes have been coming in from Mexico and especially from the Bahamas. There is plenty of white Canadian cabbage and there are im- ported vegetables such as California cauliflower, Texas broccoli, brussels sprouts, and some imported green beans. Because this last group is all imported, the prices tend to be fairly high. There is a certain amount of spinach but it is beginn- ing to rise in price. Root vege- tables, such as carrots, turnips and parsnips, are readily available. Despite current rumors to the contrary, there is enough coffee in Canada to supply our needs for 10 to 12 months and there is_no pros- pect of this commodity being 'ra- tioned. There are also ample stocks of tea and cocoa on hand. NOTICE OF SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING Beef and sausage are probably the meat items most readily obtained at the present time. All cuts of beef are available, as are all kinds‘ of sausages. There are fair quantities of smoked and cooked meats, except perhaps cooked hams, and there is a limited amount of bacon on sale from time to time. There is enough butter to supply rationing requirements but other fats and oils, due to world short- ages, are still difficult to obtain. Corn syrups and honey can occasion- ally be bought but they are not by any means plentiful. Aside from Brazils, there are more nuts on sale than there were last year and the price is lower than it was then. Tenders fo snowplowing will be received up to he o’clock pm.
