Having Violated Regulations

Administrator Emerson last Friday
nm a charge of having procured by
4 instrumentation more sugar for
canning purposes than the regua-

4 cured for canning for other purposes.
The hearing was held in the city
1 hall and Nj. j. Chapman and VIM.
1 Goodyear acted with Mr. Emerson in
I hearing and passing on the evidence.
The facts brought out were that on
I June Is Mrs. Long purchased 100
/ hounds of sugar from j. O. Adams,
at which time she signed the usual
/ pledge to use it for canning pur-
/ poses only On July 13 she secured
permit from County Food Admins
/ traitor Emerson to purchase 25
1 pounds more. She claimed that she
/ told him at that time that she had
1 already had 100 pounds. while Mr.
4 Emerson testified that she told him
4 that she had previously bought but
a rs pounds.
Thursday of last week she asked
for a permit to purchase another %
pounds and Mr.. Emerson called her
1 attention to the fact that she had al
i ready secured more than her allot-
n ment and asked If she could show
the canned fruit in which it had been
used. He testified that she replied
he would have hard work finding it,
1 as she had used it for other purposes
] and wanted to know what he was go
ing to do about it. Mrs. Long de-
MED making this statement and said
I that all the sugar had been used in
1 canning.
Mrs. F. A. Keller and John Gerd-
ing testified that they heard the CON
yersation and that Mrs. Long did adj
l nit that she had not used all the
l sugar for canning.
H. II. Smith, county checker for
/ the Food administration, testified
I that the reports checked by him
! showed that the Longs had bought
100 pounds of sugar from J. o. Ad-
ans on June IT, % pounds on July
ID, and % pounds on July 16, the
last purchase without a permit card.
j. 0. Adams testified that his
books showed the above charges and
that ON August l he had sent a bill to
the Longs including the last item.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Long denied that
they had purchased % pounds OF
sugar on July 16, and Mr.. Adams ad-
mltted that there might have been a
mistake in making the charge. After
he hearing was concluded he tele-
pnoned to the clerk who made the
SAFE who stated that they bought
eght pounds, the family allowance
ior themselves and their hired men
instead OF % pounds for canning pur-
poses, as he had noted in the charge
