236 COAL SUPPLIES 1st MAY 1950 to 30th APRIL 1951 THE quantities shown below are not "rations" that you can rely on receiving, but are the most you may buy if supplies are available. More coal and anthracite must be exported to obtain food and raw materials from abroad, so household supplies will still not be as plentiful as we should like them to be. Coke is free from restriction, so use it instead of anthracite wherever you can. Help the nation, your merchants and yourselves by ordering early and taking as much as you can of the quantities allowed during the summer.
