NO RELIEF
IS SEEN BY
FOOD BOSS
County Food Administrator says
People Must Cut Down Ice
Use if Supply is to Equal
Demand.

Unless ice users of the city cut
down on their increased consumption
the emergency here may not be re-
lieved under q week or ten days, ac-
cording to a statement issued this
morning by county food administrator
C. M. Hollingsworth, The situation
has been growing more serious since
the break down in machinery at the
/ Chickasha Ice and Cold Storage Co,
last week until the supply available
here cannot reach more than half the
demand, the administrator says.
In addition to limiting the ordinary
sales of ice to city customers and
cutting out cold drink stands and
many other classes of ice buyers in
the business districts, shipments to
the smaller towns of the county have
been cut to the minimum. For the
last few days a twenty-five pound
maximum for each day has been OBJ
served by all houses in the residence
part of town and but one ice box,
selected by the food administrator,
has been operating down town.
Ice for the comfort of tho family
at the expense of the dealer in cold
drinks, etc, has been the slogan fol
lowed out this week in the distribu
tion of the supply on hands. All 9th
er towns of the county that come
within the shipping zone prescribed
to the ice company by the admins
tration must observe the same re-
strictions as Chickasha Verden, Po-
casset, Tuttle, Amber and Ninnokah
depend upon the Chickasha plant for
ice and the local supply has been ap-
portioned out in shipments just large
enough to supply the necessities Of
each place.
The first of this week refrigerator
and meat cars were shipped here
from Oklahoma City for icing when
they should have been supplied at the
starting point. This practice will be
cut out entirely, Mr.. Hollingsworth
states, even if the matter must be
taken up with the state food admin
istrator.

may be able to supply the demands
in a week or ten days bit the ice
waste must be cut out or we can
hope for no relief whatever" the adj
