said:
Your customers will expect but

tioning is ended. But don't expect
everything you order for the next
few days or even weeks. Do the best
you can to bring back previous serv-
ice, but the dairies are going to have

End Of Meat Rationine
Fails 10 Bring Rush
On Stores in District

The abrupt curtailment of meat
rationing has caused no rush of
business in Washington meat mar
kets, a survey revealed today, most
of the city apparently still is~mak-
ing meals out of the Thanksgiving
turkey.
A District Grocery Stores spokes-
man said, I'VE have been getting
more meat steadily in the last few
weeks and the end of rationing will
not affect our stocks because we
order a week in advance. There
is plenty to 60 around and none
of our stores has reported a rush at
the counters"
Hotel caterers, however, reported
q great influx of calls from hotels
and restaurants demanding twice
their normal allotment and better
grades of meats. The District Hotel
Supply Co. reported that restaurant
and hotel owners seem to think the
situation has eased up, but it
hasn't" The company is filling
orders as best it can, giving indi-
vidual clients better cuts on a per-
centage basis.
Differ on Supplies.
Smaller store owners differed
widely in their statements, some re-
porting scarcity, others plenty of
meats. All agreed that the rush
of business most meat countermen
expected did not materialize.
A. & P. had no more meat on hand
than before, but neither had it an
ticipated rush. The same was true
at grocery stores throughout most of
the city. One butcher explained the
apparent calm with which city shop
pers had accepted the end of ration
ing this way:
Everybody breathed a sigh of re-
lief, but most of my customers have
too much turkey left over from
Thanksgiving to be filling their ice
boxes with beef or pork yet.
All Right With Him.
Most of them will be eating tur-
key hash, turkey croquettes and tur-
key fricassee for the next few days.
It's all right with me-"
Butchers at a Giant Food Store
said they had just as large crowds
as before, but were able to handle
them faster because of the end of
delay from ration point transactions.
Some stores stopped using the num-
bered cards which kept order in lines
at butchers counters during the ra-
tioning period.
Bacon was rarely to be seen in dis
play cases. Pork appeared plentiful
at Center Market, Fifth and K
streets NV, but housewives were
buying in larger quantities than
usual there, and the supply was be-
ing exhausted, butchers said.
