Increase by May *‘ In Butter Ration GORDON‘Sâ€" GOOD GLASSES 49 Ontario St. S. KITCHENER It is considered unlikely that the butter ration will increase beyond the six ounces for some time, for a very tight butter situation still exists in the Dominion. Summer production is expected to be conâ€" siderably higher than it is at the gresent time and would allow for a igher ration. However this extra amount will likely be used to build up the butter reserves so that there will be a "butter bank" when norâ€" mal production drops off during the winter months. The Prices Board announced an upward scaling »in several comâ€" modities as well as butter. Pork frices may be expected to jump rom four to six cents a pound on various cuts, while the boost of $5 a ton on steel to the primary mills, y oo d e o e n en e will result in an increase on many consumer goods No matter what your age, good glasses will improve the way you feel, by alleviating eye strain; they will also improve your appearance. ..

Mon. Tues. Wed. Ottawa.â€"It is now expected that through the increase in prices and a seasonal upturn in production, that butter ration will be increased about the week of May 1.
