ARE YOU BOARDING?
A question that is frequently asked
is "Just when is one hoarding?" The
food administration has answered this
question in a very satisfactory man.
ner ANY person who buys more food
stuff than he customarily keeps at
home in peace time is defeating the
food administration in its purpose to
secure a just distribution of food and
in its great endeavors to reduce
prices" This, however, does not ap-
ply to sugar for canning, but people
are asked to car their fruit in a thin
syrup instead of preserving it this year.
