Keep Faith With
Your Boy "Over There
When your boy was so little that all the world was a foreign
country to him, he trusted you to take care of him. You sent
' him to school "and to play and on your littl.errands, and' with
implicit faith he did your bidding.
Now we have sent your boy or. your neighbor's boy out into a '
foreign land, into terrors that he cannot even know and his
faith has not faltered. He knows we will do our part if he does
: his. .

National War Savings
Day
Saving to help our sons is not to be called by the ugly name of
duty or sacrifice. It is love's blessed privilege.
Are we keeping the faith? Are we scrimping and saving and
giving to help our boys do this thing that humanity has asked
of them, and to help them come back to us sane and whole?
Are we doing not only our bit. but all we can?

b every greatly simplified. The extneslon of th organlzat.on will mpose .o
many additional administrative duties upon Mr. Page and executive secre
tary Ltfcas that an increase In the offic staff will also be necessary.
Sugar Regulation Rigid.
In no instance will there be a greater "tightening up" or more rigid en
forceirent of regulations than with those that apply to sugar. Mr Pages
oftice is already receiving from refiner, and shipper, of sugar statements
showing In detail every shipment of .ugar into North Carolina. In the imme
diate future every dealer who handle, sugar will be required to keep an abso
lute record of all sales of sugar from one pound up. No stated rports from
these particular records will be required but such stated report, from these
particular records will be required but such records will be subject to exami
nation by Food Adminietration inspectors at any and all times.
All commercial users of sugar who disregard the rationing plan of sugar
Instituted May 15th will be disciplined. Certificates are being issue only for
sugar supplies up to July first and many commercial users have failed to
apply for blank, upon which to make their sworn statement, and to apply
for certificate, because they have already reached or exceeded thir allot
ment of sugar. Not only, will such users have their supplies equalized after
July first but In the absence of their .worn .tatements by June 16th, they will
be penalised as well. The Food Administration demands ofall commercial
user, of sugar explanation of their status not later than June 15th, and no cer
tificates will be issued after June 15th except under such circumstances as
will satisfy the Food Administration that the delay in making sworn state
ment and applvlng for certificate, wa. Justified and it l. lsdicated that
iom tall explaining wlU be necessary ts bring about this conviction.
Wholesalers or Jobbers who sell sugar or sugar syrup to commercial
users without receiving In exchange certificate. Issued by the Food Admin
tration will have their licence, revoked. Retailer, who make such .ales will
b blacklisted and be put out of business by that process. -.
Going After Profiteers.
The rules and regulations of the Food Administration with regard to
margins of profit on foodstuffs will henceforth be more rlgdly enforced and
through the assistance of the inspectors who will be put in the field, profits
will be checked from the end nearest the consumer. Where the retail price
of a commodity em. to be unreasonable the retailer will be called upon te
bow his margin. If his margin is reasonable the Inspector will go to the
wboltss'.er and if his margin was reasonable the pursuit will continue to the
manufacturer or miliar or other producer. It has not been practicable to
follow thi. course in the past because of the lack of force to make the inves
tigations. To stimulate and render effective the new system, consumers sre now I
vlted to report apparently excessive prices to their County or Township Food
Administrator uid retailers who are charged apparently excessive prices by
wholesalers or Jobbers are Invited te bring such prices to the attention ot the
saae authorities.
One class of dealer, and millers the Food Administration propose, to go
siter eemprises salHers and dealers In corn meal and other cereal substitutes
who have taken advantage of the flour shortage and "50-60" combination sale
to extort unreasonable profits on corn meal and simitar products. The
wheat eon.orvaUoa program has been hide bach by profiteers In corn meal and,
other cereal substhata. and these gentlemen evidntly have something conv
tag te them from Us Food Administration.
