In Handling Sugar
Nashville That the Food Admins
traitor will not tolerate fragrant VIC
lations Of its rules and regulations by
millers and distributors was shown in
the case against ]. e. Hill, wheat
miller at Adams, whose business vas
suspended from April 8 to April 80 b -
cause he had permitted his customers
to obtain flour In excess Of the maxi
mum quantities allowed. Several CON-
plants were made to the Food Admin
istration that Mr.. Hill was selling and
exchanging flour in violation Of the
rules Of the administration. In addi-
tion his reports to the milling diVis-
lon, showed that he was not getting
the extraction OF flour required under
the law Dr. Morgan, the federal food
administrator summoned Mr. Hill to
appear at his office on April s, wher /,
in cooperation with John w Sneed,
division manager Of the milling diyis-
ion, a hearing was conducted. l. r.
Peterson, food administrator of Mont
gomery county, and Col Neil Glenn,
food administrator Of Robertson couI-
ty, attended the hearing and rendered
valuable assistance. At the close OF
the hearing the case was taken under
advisement and after conference, DR.
Morgan announced that the business
and license of the miller would be sus-
pended for approximately thirty days.
In making this announcement Or. Nor.
gan stated that the food administra-
tion had no desire to punish any one,
but that to tolerate violations Of the
rHles would be to demoralize the
whole food administration in a large
section and this had been the case
with the miller at Adams,
Enforcement Division.
DR.. H. A. Morgan, food admlnistrar
tor, has appointed O'Bryan Washing
ton, of Nashville, one of the most Sue
cessful business men of that city, -
chief Of the division OF law enforce
ment of Tennessee, and Mr.. Washing
ton has entered upon his duties. He
Is giving the major portion OF his TINA
to the work and Is a volunteer, rs-
ceiving no compensation for his ser-
vices. Mr.. Washington will give pa.
ticular attention to all reported viola
tions of the Food Administration. He
will aid the county administrators In
enforcing the regulations.
Waste ln,shIpplnJ.
The Food Administration has issued
an appeal to the shippers and con
signees to exercise unusual care In
loading and unloading freight SO that
the loss from that source may be re-
duced as much as possible. Recently
on shipment of sugar from New Or
leans 900 pounds was lost In the car
due to protruding rails. A little care
and attention woulG have saved this
sugar, and sugar is one Of the products
that our people must have and one
that must be conserved.
