! On account of one of its clerks,
contrary to the stores instructions,
selling a customer six CD pounds of
sugar, a Philadelphia grocery was
compelled by the Food Administra-
tor to close for two weeks, to placard
the store that it was closed for vio-
| lation of the Food Law, and to in
sert an advertisement in the city pa
pers to the same effect. The mer-
chants of Dorchester county will see
from this just what they may expect
unless they very carefully observe
/ the regulations of the Food Admin
istration Some persons think they
can do such things without being re-
ported. No one likes to get friend
or neighbor into trouble, but when
! that neighbor Or friend, deliberately,
for selfish purposes, violates the
Food law, and jeopardizes the lives
Of millions upon millions of women
and children-Iit should be borne in
mind that if one person has a right
to disregard the law, everyone has,
and this law was made to insure a
supply to everyone, to prevent the
greedy from grabbing up the sup
plies then it becomes the solemn,
patriotic duty of 100 per cent loyal
American men and women to report
such things to the Food Administra-
tor. To do SO is only self -preserva-
ton, because food boarding affects
the whole community.
