The statement, which is self-ex- planatory reads as follows: "Under Order A490 regarding slaughter- ing a. great many farmers who kill livestock for their own use only or perhaps a few head for their own immediate neighbourhood have ap- plied l0l‘ all interim permit. To date these have been granted upon request. I am instructed by the Foods Administrator to request that you cease issuing permits to those in this category. Retail butchers and those in business irl a legitimate way should continue to be cared for if application is made. For all those who do not appear to be regular operators cf a butcher- ing business or store or who have not. been mlerating a slaughter flollsc, applications should be care- fully considered.

“It is our intention wpoll review- ing the permits issued to cut rath- er severely all those who are not operating as a means of livelihood. Complaints have been received that. holders of interim permits are now taking advantage of the 0p- porlullity of selling a larger num- ber on the domestic market than formerly. It is our intention to discourage this practice a; much us possible. You should, there- fore, carefully scrutinize each ap- plication to determine whether or not the applicant has been in a regular business. We also feel that sufficient time has ela/psed for all those who intend making applica-
