Groceries Open to Noon,
Close This Afternoon

Charles N. Ketchum in an interview
with an Intclligcnccr reporter says tho
fuel administration order does not say
that grocery stores and stores selling
fnodstufS must close. but does say that
lit is the desire. however. that all food
stores close at noon Monday unless the
public food supply would he in danger
thereby" The local committee does not
feel that tho food supply OF Wheeling
would no in danger
This decision is left entirely with tho
local committe". and it's interpretation
of the order Is very clear in that tho
food supply In Wheeling would not he
impaircd by the stores closing. and docs
hereby request them Ia close al noon
Monday.
Several ct tho stores kept opnn last
Monday afternoon. and tho criticism
they were subjected to was posSTly not
heard by them hut was heard by many
outside Of their stores. and they undouhr-
rdly will gain more by closing than they
will by remaining open.
Any grocery stores or stores selling
foodsluffS that remain open will he do
Ing an unratriotic act and will undoubt-
edly be severely criticised.
