tersh;n Examination.
 While the state food administration is restricting the sugar supplies Of the retail merchants Of Killingly. as elsewhere in Connecticut, who is go- ing to restrict the purchases of the retail customer?
 This is the question that now looms large for those who have been mak- ing a study Of the situation. The re- tailers are obligated to obtain sugar certificates from the food adn1inistra- tor and forward the same, properly endorsed, to the wholesalers or sugar brokers before sugar can be obtained, but there is no such effective checking up system to keep tabs on the retail tayers, and the result is that the re- tail dealers are already beginning to ind themselves in difficulties in deal ing with the trade.
 It has been officially stated that the sugar allowance per person is to be three pounds month, but that and that alone is not sufficient, events here are already proving. For instance, d Danielson man and his two sons are employed at Goodyear On one day the father appears at the store of Al ma F'orcier and buys two pounds of sugar. The next day he comes for two more pounds and is refused. The next day one of the sons, living at home. comes for two pounds and the next day the other son appears and wants two more. Neither get it. In the meantime the trio, father and sons. repeat their efforts and buy su- | gar of other dealers in Dayville and ] in Danielson. And madam, who re- mains in charge of the home here in Danieison, SCOUTS the grocery stores of 1 this place. getting as many pounds out l of each store as she is able tore suit many pounds of sugar. stored l stored away.
 The family boasts of it's success in l beating the sugar regulations, and l those who listen go out and try to do 1 likewise. This means that many fam | lies begin sugar hoarding. And it al so means that the families who are honestly endeavoring to live up to the food administration as to the use oI sugar find themselves in q position where they will be facing an actual shorta ge. in the not distant future. As human nature is not easily changed. it has been suggested that sugar rationing be put in force IS the only faiT method for ali, and that q sugar card system be established. Un- less this is done. or some other effec- tive means found. tb6 regulation oi the sale of sugar. in KillingIy is going to be a farce.
 The situation is not pleasant for the retailer and it is not fair to, those Whc are trying to do the righc thing an abide bv. the rulings being laid ,dovl for the use of sugar.
