The Wingham Advance-Times, 1943-03-25, Page 7MSTF0nElvigNT FOOD How do they get away with this, with that? Even your own friends ,say, "They can't do this to me, I -wasn't hoarding," You've heard plenty of that stuff. And Fred A, McGregor, grey haired, soft spoken Enforcement Administrator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, at Ottawa, tries to help find the answers, There's noth- ing he fears more' than to have his personnel labelled Gestapo and such 'things.. MRS. A. S. CUSSON is now in perfect health. She had stubborn indigestion, constipation and biliousness with bad breath. Fruit-a.tives stimulated her liver-made her feel years younger.

The price could be increased as with beef, lamb and some other products which have a seasonal price range and which required higher pric- es to maintain supply, or, thirdly, qub- psirdiciees. were added to the existing You remember how the latter was done extensively in the case of milk, dairy products and a number of can- ned items, such as tomatoes. Action with respect to maintenance of supply has been taken mainly in conjunction with or, in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture. In the case of essential imported foods, he pointed out, the same general prin- ciple is applied, to subsidize imports if the price ceiling threatens supply or to lift ceilings from, the threatened products. There it is in a nutshell, and I hope there's a kernel in it. And he added, did Mr. Taggart, that the most common practice of im- ports has been for the Commodity Prices Stabilization Corporation to bulk purchase at the best, possible price and then sell into the domestic trade at whatever price is necessary to maintain ceilings. The determination of requirements and the management of distribution has been the responsibilities of the Foods Administration They control prices and keep up supplies of food for the civilian population, and, to as: sist other government bodies, it also acts to requisition or otherwise acquire food for the soldier boys and girls and other priority needs in cases of particular commodities which are in short supply. Mr, Taggart made it sound so hum- drum 'that I lost my appetite for din- ner. And there's not a secret.

PAPOOSES WENT DOWN FIGHTING Lucknow Sepoys Won Juvenile Group „Title. Score Of Final Game 2-1 Battle right to the finish Alf, Lock- ridge's Papooses lost the final and de- ciding game for the Juvenile group honours. The Young Indians al- though defeated gave all they had and with lady fortune smiling their way things might have been different, This in no way takes any of the glory from the lads of Lucknow. They are a fast aggressive club that finish their plays nicely and they bad to be good to take the Papooses, A large crowd were on hand for this important game in the Lucknow arena on. Wednesday evening, Both tearns had plenty of backers. The game played on a semi sticky surface was fast and Tory Gregg who handled the game kept the kids on their toes. Wingham went into the lead in less than six minutes of play in the first period. Bell was the marksman. That was the only score in this stanza which was featured by close checking and some fast break-aways, It Was clean good hockey with no penalties. Lucknow tied it up in the second period while Templeman was serving a penalty. The period was under way about five minutes when Templeman was banished. Lucknow pressed hard and were rewarded when B. Chin notched 'one. It was a rebound batted by McLeod who had'no chance on the play. Play lagged a bit times dur- ing this period only to break out in lightning fast play. In the dying minutes of the period Hall was penal- ized but the Indians could not, try as they could, get a counter. Both teams played a bit cautious to start the final period and both sides lost chances to tally. Lucknow got the break about 'half way through the canto the Chin brothers getting credit for the play, brother Bill netting the disc. Lucknow put on a defensive act after this and were successful in holding the Indians off. Bell was sent to the hoosegow at the three quarter mark but his side kicks held the Sepoys at bay. This was a great game for a juvenile fixture, in fact the series as a whole was good. The local lads did not come out on top but they nearly didso and they gathered a lot of splendid exper- ience and coaching. WINGHAM-goal, McLeod; def., Lockridge, Bell; centre, Hilbert; r.w., covered with colored charts, Butter rationing? All part of the over,all, picture we had, he- explained. Figure - it out; more lunch pails, more sand', wiches; more civilian workers, armed forces; Red Cross necessities; Alaskan. Highway; 'LLS.A., troops in .Canada; commitments to West Indies and Newfoundland. Why, the use of fluid milk increased by 10% over the pre- vious year. Onr per capita consump- tion of butter in Canada is 26 lbs., while that of cheese only 4 lbs., and it takes two of cheese to make one of butter, Beef? Yup, he .-admitted a tight position there,- but remember that in general there is nothing in its over-all position in Canada which would dic- tate -it if we. had no respinsibilities to the 'United, Nations. It is obvious that we cannot maintain higher con- sumption levels of meats than others of the United Nations, say the United States, It 'is unlikely that we will avoid meat rationing in the trend of events,. he says, and that takes in beef, Pork, bacon, veal, lamb and mutton. With the new feeding programme,- however, he is certain we will have more beef in the long run. Now, co-operation is the slogan. • As I got up to leave he shook hands and said with a smile: "Remember, fellow, we are still the best fed' people in the world." I had had bacon, 2 eggs for breakfast. Could have had more. How in heck can we grouse sincerely? - About Foods Administration And now I'll finish this with a few words about talking with Foods Ad- ministrator Gordon Taggart, who was shortly leaving his job and Ottawa to sit in the agricultural driver's seat in Saskatchewan again, His staff includes men of expert knowledge of the various food com- modities, directly from farm arid var- ious food processing and distributing industries. "The food administration staff determines what to do," he said, and much of the action which follows may be carried out by regional offices of the Board, enforcement or ration- ing divisions, You see; food supply naturally divides itself into two gorups, food of domestic origin or imports. When domestic supply is threatened as a re- sult of lower price established under the --ceiling, either of three things is WRITTEN S.PEcta4Y FOR THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS OF CANAPA JIM CAMBIAL Editors, the SUN sw;FT cntiFt6tgr saatiaTelieWAN anything else they do try to get an honest statement of fact from the en- forcement counsel in each regional division, and they do insist on getting "local colour" with it. Personal cir- cumstances are taken into consider- ation, All the administration does, he says, is pass on a case to decide whether it should go to the courts or not. Then the law does the rest. Kicks-Well Founded, and. Unfounded "We have to watch out step, too, from those whose toes have been step ped on; who make spite charges again- st persons they may have a grudge against, many, -many of which have' been investigated and discovered' to be unfounded." And in the converse, he showed Inc the file and memo, where he had just° that day personally tele- phoned an old foreign-born woman in Montreal to apologize for the actions of an investigator who was too smart altogether. "We couldn't handle the job of en- forcement if the public didn't co- operate," he pointed out, "but thank heaven 95% of the people are doing a real enforcement job with us." A small percentage, of course, are defiant and won't play ball. Some of it, he claims, is pure carelessness of 'regu- lations to be observed in business. "What of the future?" I asked. He hitched closer to me to emphasize the point as he warned that more difficult times are ahead, with dangers of "black market," etc. "Tell the people they are only helping themselves and they can be of tremendous help to us as the more critical times approach. We would rather have compliance than enforcement any time." From, Dec 1, 1941, to Dec.. 31, 1942, they had 1;552 prosecutions for the whole of Canada, and 1,438 convic- tions. You and I who know what's going on can reason it out for our- selves whether they are a Gestapo gang or an administration to check with firmness. Britnell Views Foods Situation I hate to hurry on with so much material of interest available; but the series is just about finished, I might give you a few thoughts from Dr. G. E. Britnell, economic advisor of the foods Administration, tousled headed, earnest fellow whose office walls are elping to House' Canada's War Workers WHEN the huge shell-filling plant came to his town, Charles Hunter got to thinking about the critical shortage of housing . and about the two large cottages he owned. It wouldn't cost much to mod- ernize and sub-divide them to make comfortable homes for four families. He talked it over with his bank manager, who extended him a $600 loan. With the money, Hunter not only converted his cottages but took part of the loan, along with some of his rental income, to remodel another house to accommodate eight single individuals. With the aid of the bank Hunter helped to pro- vide urgently needed homes for war workers. He has now paid off all but $100 of the loan. A very small amount paid out for interest has thus enabled him to more than double his former revenues. Such modest, highly useful loans typify the con- tributions that the banks make to Canadian enter- prise. The above story is an actual case-only the name has been changed. He realizes, of course, that an in- vestigator in your region, invested with new unaccus- tomed power might throw his weight around a little and, by gosh, that's hard to stomach. But supply of men, can- F. A. McGregor able, is thin, says Mr. McGregor. They keep checking on the checkers, even; sometimes it takes time to find out. "VVe can't decide local cases in an ivory tower in Ottawa," he said. Whether it's on rentals, hoarding or More than 5,000 experienced bank men out of 14,433 have gone into the armed forces since war began. This throws a greater burden on remaining staffs and new employees. Do your banking early in the day. Pay small bills by cash instead of cheque wherever possible. it all helps.
