Rationed Food
No Hardship Yet,
Britisher Says
Post's Correspondent
Finds His Half-Pound
Of Butter Sufficient
(Continued from Page 1)
but now the days when that liberty
was enjoyed as a matter of course
seem very dim and distant.
Note the least effect of rationing is
the abundant proof of the conten-
tion that you have only to put some-
thing out of reach in order to make
everyone want it.
We will take sugar, for instance.
If you want to make marmalade you
may get a permit, by showing the
invoice for oranges you have bought,
which enables you to buy three
pounds of sugar for each pound of
oranges.
The Food Control Officers have
been astounded’ by the number of
housewives who seem to have a
passion for marmalade just now!
Marmalade-making would look like
a national sport. Some suspicious
Food Control Officers see in it a
liking for extra sugar, rather than
for marmalade! -
However, so far we cannot grum-
ble, though, naturally, most of us do.
I have the dubious advantage of
remembering the rationing in the
last war. You might say I was
reared on a ration-card, for I was
at school at the time and not only
dresses on them as part of my war-
effort, but did a great deal of the
family shopping with them.
I remember very vividly spending
whole mornings standing in queues
in various parts of Reading. First,
we would find a shop where they
were queuing for butter; then a
rumour would spread that a shop
about a mile away had been lucky
enough to get a bit of tea and off
we would trot to the tea queue. I
turned home with a little butter, I
thought there could be no greater
achievement open to man—or, as
it happened, boy.
I remember the bread that was
like sawdust and the artichokes that
we had, when we could get them,
instead of potatoes, and: the sac-
and all the other ‘instead ofs’ of
that time. Believe me, we old
campaigners are not complaining as
yet. \

Who Figured In Fatality
The license of Stanley Hilstolsky
of Wyoming R. D., who was driving
the motorycle on which David Mah-
ler was riding when he was killed
on the Luzerne-Harvey’s Lake high-
way last July, was restored by
Judge John J. Aponick this week.
David and his brother, Paul, both
of Orange, were passengers on Hil-
stolsky’s motorycle when it skidded.
David was killed and Paul was
seriously injured. In November Hil-
stolsky’s license was suspended.
“To penalize an operate because
he was unfortunate enough to be
involved in a fatal accident, through
no fault of his own would work a
great injustice,” Judge Aponick |
ruled “Although three persons were
riding on the motorcycle, which was
built for two, there is absolutely no
evidence that this fact was a contri- |
buting cause of the accident. The]
mere fact that the motorcycle skid-
ded does not itself constitute evi-
dence of negligence upon the opera-
tor’s part.”
