A.

Foreman,

Sub-Regional
Branches
of

told
the

yesterday
that
the

but

that

to

public.
Mr.
Foreman
paid
tribute
to
the
women
of
Prince
Rupert
for
their
splendid
co-operation
in
putting
Into
effect
the
-jsugar
rationing
plan.
He
also
pointed
out
that
the
organisational
work
done
by
the
AJI.P.
besides
expediting
the
scheme
had
saved
the
government
a
great
deal
of
expense.
Through
a
system
of
subsidies,
Mr.
Foreman
explained,
the
government
had
kept
essential
foods
out
of
the
speculative
market.
A
case
In
point
was
the
purchase
of
a
portion
of
the
Australian
raisin
crop.
The
crop
was
then
turned
over
to
Canadian
grocery
houses
at
government
set
wholesale
and
retail
prices.
The
same
policy
applied
to
leather
footwear,
foods,
tanned
fruits
and
other
essential
products.
In
order
to
complete
the
control
of
all
types
of
materials,
a
government
department
was
now
In
operation
which
Investigated
all
dormant
stocks.
Stocks
which
were
unsaleable
In
their
present
form
were
processed,
while
new
uses
were
found
for
other
Items.
The
government
Intended
to
ensure
that
no
materials
are
wasted
or
used
for
non-essential
purposes.
Mr.
Foreman
quoted
Deuel's
book,
"The
People
Under
Hitler,"
showing
how
every
aspect
of
economy
was
under
strict
government
supervision
even
unto
such
occupa
tions
as
house-wrecking.
It
is
now
Illegal
In
Canada
to
throw
away
any
metal
tube
container.
Last
year
345
tons
of
metal
were
used
In
the
production
or
toothpaste

and
similar
Items.
By

been

he
said
that
this
Is

Im
portant
aspects
or
the
work
of
the
local
board.
Many
proscutlons
had
been
successfully
carried
out
in
other
districts.
,
In
conclusion
Mr.
Foreman
reminded
his
listeners
that
no
matter
how
great
are
tho
sacrifices
made
by
civilians,
that
of
the
soldier
la
Infinitely
greater.
