70 1Vd0,
 The apparent shortage" Is duo to two principal causes--the greatly increased civilian purchasing power and the heavy demand for military forces and lend.lease. After mili- tafy and lend-lease demands arc met, civilian supplies will remain ct about the pre.war level. Lcss Meats, Canned Goods
 It b true, tho food officials said, that civilian supplies of some foods especially meats and canned goods will Do less than normal. But, they contend, adequate quantities. Of substitute foods are available to maintain . reasonably good diet.
 Total meat supplies arc expected tO Dc l5 to i7 per cent above the high ie42 levels, and oile-third larger than tho l03b-i03o average The military and lend-leaBc require- inontS will total not more than one- third of the supply.
 There are iO0,O00,00O more hens on farms than the 420, ,20i 900 avers age from io32 to io42 and the supply Of chickens for market will be 26 per cent above normal. Military and lcnd. lease will take only c small percentage of the supply.
 More Balanced Dlet
 Under rationing of scare coin- modities the average civilian will be able to obtain q more balanced diet than during the lGtter part of iD42 and early io43 when unrestrict- cd buying exhausted available sup. plies of many foods, tic officials said,
 Consumers last year had Q Spcnd- able income 9 per cent larger than their io3b.io30 average, according to Agriculture Department figures, The io43 Spcndabie income iB ex- pectcd to show another big jump, 1t b not surprising to food officials that the demand for food has bounded upward.
 Production Of food crops this year ct levels called for in farm goals would result il total supplies nearly 50 per cent above the I036-io30 average, according to ofiicial eSti- mates, The total would be 10 to i6 per cent above last year.
 The Agriculture Department, in summarizing the 1893 food outlook, said it will Do difficult to obtain the 2 per cent increase asked on milk because of the labor shortage. Even f the milk goal iS reached, produc- ton Of cheese, condensed and eyap- orated milk, and ice cream, will Do below ie42.
 Mere MiIk Expected
 Butter production may Do about the same or somewhat smaller than in ie42, depending on milk produc. ton, while the consumption Of fluid milk Is expected to be substantially larger.
 The supply Of fresh fruits. except citrus and apples, may bc smaller, Canned vegetable supplies will be sharply smaller. Commercial truck crops for fres1 vegetables, however, ig expected to Dc larger.
 "On the basis Of present eSti. mates" the department said, wt ap- pears that the per capita civilian supply Of grains (except fice), poul- try, fats and oiig (exciudi1g butter) |, fuid milk and potatoes will Dc above ie42.

 Light on Whole Night

Julius Dorfman, proprietor of Q store ct 07 Bank street, was fined $50 and costs by Judge John l., Qaifney in city court today in the first case to be tried here of vioiG- ton of the city dinout ordnance, Through his counsel, Attorney Perry Qralc0rtein, Dorflnan pleaded Tlolo contOndcro to the charge.
 Attorney 0raeiCrstein told tho court his client had either "unin- tentially or accidentally" left the Neon sign in front of tho store burning the night of February i7 when he closed Up and went home. Martin o. O'Rourke, chairman of tho blackout and dimout commit- teO of the defense council testified that no had found tho light burning and summoned Dorfman from his home to put 1t out.
 Attorney draclersteln read from c newspaper clipping . quotation from Chief Justice Harlan Stone Of the United States Supreme Court In which tho Jurist remarked that courts should take war conditions into consideration in rendering dc. cigionS and should maintain c nor. nal balance. City Court Prosecutor Frederick W. Palomba asserted that the ordnance was adopted for the protection Of the city, and that c violation, regardless of intent, con- stituted Q serious infraction of de- fetlge measures
 In imposing sentence, the court compared the case with the famous World Series game which was lost because runner failed to touch first base, stating that oftentimeS what seems to Do c small matter may have serious consequences.
