Merchants Delivery Service
In Serious Danger!
Local Rationing Board Chair
man Dudley C. Smith met with
tlj?%lerchants association Thurs
Ta!^raight and gave some very per
tinent facts on the rationing situ
ation, especially the gas and tire
shortage.
W e gatner irom tms miormation
that the delivery service is in
great danger of being cut out,
unless we as merchants, and our
patrons cooperate to the fullest ex
tent to cut down on deliveries.
As there is no provision made for
delivery trucks to receive tires.
There has been some criticism as
to the amount of canning sugar
that the local board is issuing,
so after Mr. Smith’s information
as to how the board arrives at
this amount, and the information
he has from the State Economics
Dept, we as a group feel that this
matter is being handled on a fair
basis. Also we want the public
to J®pw that we are cooperating
*1T. my he board to the fullest ex
teriw as they are sacrificing their
time and effort for the good of
us all.
