PRIMARY PRODUCERS, SUCH AS FARMERS, who produce rationed foods, must collect coupons for all sales of rationed foods and deliver them to their Local Ration Board. Primary producers must also deliver coupons to Local Ration Boards, according to current regulations, against the consumption in their household of certain rationed foods produced by them. BOOK-HOLDERS' RESPONSIBILITIES The law requires that: (a) a book-holder must detach from his ration book and destroy all unused coupons which have EXPIRED for use by him. (b) ration book must be surrendered promptly to the Board if the book-holder dies, joins the armed forces, or ceases to reside in Canada. (c) when buying rationed commodities, coupons must be detached only in the presence of the supplier or his representative. It is illegal to use coupons detached in any other manner. (d) ration books may be used only by or for the person to whom issued. (Severe penalties are provided for mis-use of ration book or false statement in connection therewith). THERE IS A LOCAL RATION BOARD IN YOUR COMMUNITY. If you have a rationing problem, phone, write or visit your Board. A group of citizens serve voluntarily on this Board. Please give them your co-operation.
