If a person knows his way around there isn't much necessity to "queue HAROLD' PAIR up." Be well-known to the butcher, the grocer, the fruiter and greengrocer, a couple of tobacconists, a pub or two and a store selling spirits and you don't run short unless the supplies are unobtainable. Even more fantastic than the queues is this ability to get what you want If the store-keeper knows you. This is not boasting, aiinougn the statement is based ou personal experience shopping for a group of Canadian Press bachelor flat-dwellers. Friends noted and commented on the same situation. As To Cigarettes The current cigarette shortage brought impressive proof of this. Generally we had sufficient, thanks to the old newsdealer who. delivered the papers every morning from the little store nearby. Although casual purchasers were refused cigar-ets, he managed to. give up a pack from a drawer beneath the counter. If cigarettes were needed at night, Tom, the publican provided them surreptitiously. The devious ways Londoners obtain their cigarettes now have supplanted those personal bomb experiences which became such a bore during the heavy air raids last fall. Tom has handed over cigarettes in a sealed envelope, described as a personal letter. He's passing them over the bar by hiding the pack under a bar cloth and pretending to cleans .the bar until the coth Is in front of you. He's even given the cigarets In the men's room because the bar was filled and he didn't want the crowd to see he had a Exchange of jokes In the butcher shop and the odd six-penny tip to the young assistantr-help make one persona grata there. It meant meat was always there when one called Saturday and often a good supply of eggs over and above what was obtained from the grocery store. Down on Hoarders The grocer too does his best. If they get canned fruit, always scarce, a tin Is saved. This grocer, Incidentally, maintains there Is no need for shopping queues. He blames the situation on hoarders who travel from shop to shop to snap up sup plies. "You've had; a good morning," he observed caustically one day to a woman trying to fill a basket al ready overloaded with tinned stuff purchased In other stores, Greengrocers are particularly good people to know In summer when you want tomatoes and po tatoes. Otherwise the tomato queues Is the only resort. Prices of tomatoes and new potatoes were contrplled with the result that al ways happened in cases of control led food prices the article became scarce. In early July new potatoes were so hard to obtain that; the food ministry released supplies of old potatoes.
