Association Chief Says

Hoarders today were blamed for
canned milk shortages in some
localities.
Charles F.. Boyd. secretary of
the Retail Merchants Association,
said canned milk deliveries had not
decreased 10 retail outlets. He said
his organization had not been in
formed OF boarding, but pointed
out that the lack of supply in some
areas could be laid only TO that
cause.
"Rationing automatically will
take care OF the situation" he
said. Until then the grocer
must determine the amount each
person can have"
-Df.Bruee Douglas heaithd de-
partment head, said he did not
believe current shortages of milk

He compared the reserve militia
units to the English Home Guard,
organized in support Of the British
Army, with every able-bodied man
not otherwise engaged in defense
service armed and determined to
protect their homes and loved ones
against enemy attack"

had considerable military training,

such arms and equipment as can be
spared from the primary require

Army" and added an increasing
amount OF serviceable arms and
equipment not considered sufficiently
modern for overseas use would be-
come available for the Reserves.
