STORM SPOILED TRIP

Those who went from Milford to
wilmington last Monday to attend the
circus and enjoy a days outing in
automobiles, wound up the trip about
l a. m. Tuesday, after being six and
seven hours en- route home. The
cause was the wind storm which
passed over the upper part Of the State
that evening. Trees and telephone
poles we're blown across the road in
several places. which had to be cut
away before the autos could get
through. and the roads we're slippery
and dangerous to run over in upper

According to the food administration
there is plenty of sugar in this eoun-
try for all immediate needs, but be-
cause of the apparent determined
effort Of housewives to buy in excess
Of their needs for the object Of storing
IL aWay. the administration warns both
grocers and consumers Of the conse-
0uences of acting dislOyally-that IS,
by boarding sugar.
Complaints have come to the food
administration for Delaware that
housewives apply to grocers for
quantities of sugar greatly in excess
of their needs. When they are refused
by grocers who are Obeying the regu-
lations of the food administration.
which is not more than pounds OF
sugar at a sale. the customers often
remark that they can buy ten pounds
somewhere else.
To sell more than pounds OF sugar
at a time is a direct violation Of the
food administration rules and the
grocer doing so is cOurting much en-
barrassment as we'll as being branded
as unpatriotic and disloyal to Uncle
Sam.
BY selling 3 pounds Of sugar at one
NAV ask two days in succession for
that amount. The grocer can deter
mine what the ordinary normal needs
of the customer are and to eYade the
law by selling five pounds to GUS
toner on six days Of the week would
be Just as great a violation as selling
80 pounds at one time.
If the housewife in preserving time
needs more sugar, she can get 1t by
obtaining a certificate certifying tnat
the sugar is needed.
Then the grocer may sell her the
amount needed and yet he a loyal pa
triotic merchant.
II has come to the attention OF the
Food Administrator that some grOcers
are soliciting sales of sugar by ask
ing their patrons when they order
other groceries if they do not neeG
sugar.
The Food Administration believes
that it is better for grOcers to sell
sugar only to their customers. Some
housewives have been going from
store to store, according to reports
buying sugar and for no other pur-
pose, it is charged, than to hoard 1t
The Food Administration will moi
tolerate such acts. 1t has the author
ity to seize the sugar that may bt
boarded and this would also STAMP
