Davies9 Dry Goods Store BUY WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES. PAGE EIGHT MISS E. ORME Richmond Hill Tel‘ We have received a partial deliv- ery of new Spring prints, now dis- played in our windows, scarcity of which we are advised, and owing to war conditions, difficult to ob- tain. Prices range from 200. per yd. 36 inch and guaranteed fast colors. The Purchase of Sugar is Now Regulated by Law I. The ration is 3:4 pounds per person per week, including adults, children and infants, members of the family, boarders, servants, and guests who remain for four days or more. 2. Purchase your sugar in the ordinary way, but not more than two weeks’ supply at a time. No coupons, stamps or tickets are required. 3.. Do not purchase any sugar if you have two weeks’ or more supply on hand. 4. Persons in remote areas who are not able to buy every week or two weeks may continue to buy more than two weeks’ supply at a time, but should fneasure dwir consumption at the ration rate, namely 3/; pounds per person per week. Issued Under the Authority of THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD, Ottawa, Canada 5. Lumber camps and other firms providing board for their employees must see that consumption is restricted to 3/4 pounds per week per person, effective immediately. Vigorous steps will be taken to punish wilful infractions of the law. The penalties provided are imprisonment for as long as two years and a fine up to $5,000 s A prudent precaution, the quantity of sugar which may lawfully be consumed A in any household is now restricted by law to an amount of threeâ€"quarters of one pound per person per week, and it is now unlawful to purchase more than two weeks’ supply at any one time or to make any purchase if present supplies are sufficient for more than two weeks. The maintenance of the new regulation governing the purchase of sugar rests, as the success of all laws in a democratic country must rest, upon the loyal support of the people. Any consumption of sugar in excess of the quantity stipulated by this regulation is not only an offence against the law, but is also a betrayal of the war eflort and consequently an offence against decency. This step has been taken to conserve the satisfactory reserve srock of sugar in Canada and is an assurance to the consumer that there is no reason for heavy buying of sugar. Ration coupons will not be used to enforce the sugar limitations in Canada. The supply of sugar in our country has been under control for more than two and a half years and the homekeeper has always been able to satisfy her needs; she will continue to be able to (1‘0 so and the price ceiling law protects her against any Increase 111 price. Reports received from retailers indicate that in some districts there has been misunderstanding of the requirements of the law. In some cases, people are under the impression that they should at once lay in a suflicient supply for two weeks; this of course is not necessary because a continued supply of sugar is assured. In other cases it has been assumed that a greatly restricted ration is to be made effective in the near future. This is incorrect because The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has already stated that the sugar supply situation is such that requirements of the consumer at the rate of threeâ€"quarters of a pound per week can readily be supplied. As a means of protecting consumers from unknowingly breaking the law, it is suggested to retailers that, for the present, they limit sales to any one customer to an amount of not more than five pounds. Summary of Sugar Rationing Regulations Telephone 119 7. Additional supplies of sugar will be made available for home preserving and canning. 6. Economize on sugar in every way you can; some people can get along on less than the ration. Persons dining in hotels, restaurants, etc., are expected to restrict their sugar consumption. 8. The restriction applies only to cane and beer sugars of all kindsâ€"granulated sugar, icing sugar, fruit sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, etc. 9. Industrial users of sugar, hospitals and other institutions, hotels and restaurants, will be advised by the Sugar Administrator how the sugar restrictions will affect them. 10. Retailers are entitled to refuse sale or to limit sales to any person they have reason to believe is attempting to disregard this law.
