Americas enormous preparations

a group of five volunteers, Colonel
Bradley Dewey, commanding officer Of
the gas defense. declared that up to
the time the truce was signed. there
had been produced 100000 masks,
100000 extra canisters, 100000 horse
masks and large quantities of mustard

SUGAR CARD SYSTEM
is DISCARDED
Food Administrator for Vermont An.
nounces That Sugar Sales Are on
Voluntary Basis.

Montpelier Dec. l4.-ln a state
ment today Frank H. Brooks, federal
food administrator for Vermont,
placed the sale Of sugar on a volun-
tary basis, and the card system is
no longer required unless the people
of the town or county desire to con
tinue on that basis. He called atten-
tion TO the fact that in placing the
peoples and dealers on an honor basis
he believes they will consider the
ON S0.day basis only 1t
is not permissible for a householder
TO purchase a barrel Of sugar, nor for
dealers to stock up beyond a S0-day
supply, nor to place signs that peo-
pie can buy all the sugar they want
Mr.. Brooks gives as the reason for
this ruling that in talking today with
the food administrators in neighbor-
ing states he finds that they are all
on a voluntary basis. 1t Is not fair to
the dealers and the public OF this
state to treat them in a manner at
variance with our neighboring states
Washington put out an order that
did not sufficiently consider the New
England situation and It's possible
shortage in sugar until the Cuban SUI
ply arrived
Mr.. Brooks states that he Is very
glad TO release the people OF Vermont
from the card system and to trust
them with their sugar on a voluntary
basis and the dealers to sell no mort
than SOday supply.
