December 1918

Jam Rations to Remain – It is understood that the Ministry of Food have decided that
the permission to sell poultry and rabbits without coupons, given temporarily for the
Christmas season, is to be made permanent.
The statement that after Monday next jam may be sold without coupons is incorrect. In
these circumstances it is understood that the Consumer’s Council are opposed to any
alteration, and until their next meeting in the second week in January it is not expected that
any decision will be reached.
In order to meet the difficulties of retailers who may have stocks of canned salmon on their
premises which do not comply with the requirements of the Canned Fish (Retail Prices and
Distribution) Order in specifying Grade 1 or the variety of fish on the label, in accordance
with the schedule of the Order, the Food Controller gives notice that the regulation for
affixing a tab-label bearing the designation “Grade 1” to such stock is waived until after
February 1, 1919, provided the grocer or retailer charges the price fixed by the Order, and
displays the list of such prices in accordance with Article 5 of the Order.
