ROANOKE RAPIDS HERALD

One of the most complete and
nicely produced Industrial Ed.
tons has just come from the
press of the Roanoke Rapids Her
aid in the form of a fourteen
page insert issue attached to
their regular Friday publication.
This is printed on extra heavy
white paper and is in every parti-
cular a credit to our sister town
of water power production, and
in which, we too, take pride in
same being attempted during a
time when there is a greater ten
dency to contract rather than ex-
pand, especially in advertising.
A copy of this extra edition is
on view at The Commonwealth
office and is worth the while of
any of our citizens glancing thru
its pages, for it demonstrates the
reason why Roanoke Rapids is
doing such big things. Its lead
ers are men of strong vision and
are not considering the moment
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1918-07-12

but are building for a great fu-
ture.
This is as it should be and we
glory in the fact that Halifax
county is filled with men who
are big enough to carry the bur-
dens laid upon them without
complaint, but rather do these
burdens make them greater and
more energetic citizens, accept
ing their responsibilities and
even more energizing them.
We have such men in this COM
munity- Roanoke Rapids has them
too we are glad to see, and be-
cause of them, and what they
stand for, Halifax county must al
ways be a banner county in a
glorious state.

New Sugar Requirements From
Food Administrator.

County Food Administrator
R. c. Dunn is anxious that nc
dealers in sugar, or hotels, res.
turants, boarding houses, hos.
pitfalls or other institutions shall
find themselves in such position
after July Is that they can
not purchase sugar, the order
is perfectly clear, stated Mr..
Dunn.
mo dealer in or user of sugar
can purchase sugar since July /.
except household consumers. All
retail dealers, hotels, restaurants
boarding houses, hospitals, coun-
ty homes and other institutions
are included in this list. All of
these should write without delay
to the sugar division of the Food
Administration at Raleigh stat
ing the nature of their business
and asking for proper blank
forms upon which to file their
statements. When these state
ments have been made out and
returned to Raleigh the Sugar
division will send certificates for
the sugar requirements of each
firm or institution.
The attention Of all dealers in
sugar is called to the require
ments that all dealers must keep
an absolutely accurate record of
the names of purchasers and of
sales and Of quantities of sugar
and are further reminded that
the maximum quantities of five
pounds to the country household
and two pounds to the city
household must be rigidly obser-
we'd.
Sugar dealers are required to
sell sugar only to their regular
customers and to confne such
customers, even their regular
customers to a minimum not ex-
ceeding three pounds per person
per month. The two pounds is
not an arbitrary allotment for a
week or any other period because
the size of families vary. Some
larger families will require two
Or three two pound purchases a
week.
Beginning July |, eight inspect
ors were put into the field by the
Food Administration and they
will be able to check up the
records of dealers and ascertain
the names of any users of sugar
who have been purchasing from
iealers other than their regular
!"
