§ Mr. J. HyndThe average ration supplied in Wuppertal was equivalent to 1,320 calories per day in the week ended i9th January and 990 calories per day in the week ended 26th January. For the week just ended the figure was between 1,200 and 1,300 calories per day. The shortages have been caused by transport difficulties resulting from severe weather conditions. All possible steps are being taken to improve distribution so that the deficiencies can be made up and ration cards fully honoured.
