VALUE OF FOOD ADMINISTRATION OFFICE. Sugar Situation Would Be Worse Were It Not for Guiding Hand. Perhaps the first important proof to the housewife of the power and value of the office of the United States food administration in this state lies in the present sugar situation, which would be infinitely worse than it is were it not for the strong hand of the admin- istration which is guiding a fair course for the retailers between the, whole- salers and the consumers. Profiteering, hoarding and compul- sory combination sales were all stop- ped short by the food administration's recent orders and during the last two weeks the administration has been forced to act more or less as a clear- ing house for the hundreds of com- plaints that have been received. In every case ‘where a complaint was made, accompanied with sufficient data, an investigation was made. and a remedy applied. The names of complainants have been kept confidential. The handling of the complaints, which were re- ceived sometfimes as late as 10 o'clock at night, has involved a large amount of unexpected work as each firm com- plained against was required to ap- ar and make an esplanation. In addition to the individuals who telephoned or wrote from all parts of Connecticut telling of attempted held- ups requiring the purchase .of some other commodity than cornmeal in or- woes beforc the food administration. Their_stories were much the same, to the effect that altheugh some retailers who buy their goods at wholesale were enabled to get sugar and thus supply their customers, the small dealers were obliged to k turning down their regular custofners = because _those wholesalers who ordinarily supply the retail stores had not received their Proportionate supply. ‘This situation was probably caused by the fact that when the sugar which the government diverted from the New York piers was sent into Connecticut all wholesale buyers, whether they did a retail business or not, got about the same allotment. It is understood that when future consignments from New |CO) York are lreceived the real whole- salers will get a larger portion, which will ‘make an equitable distribution of sugar among the people who need it this matter of a fair and even distri- bution of sugar and other food com- modities at a fair price being one of the chief purposes of the existenca of the food administrafion. Although the food administration has occasionally endeavored to adjust difficulties between wholesaler and re- ‘to prevent waste, hoarding and exorbi- tant prices and to assure an adequate To ihe presemt Subar chormae e n the sugar sho: umtnrd office of the food administra- tion feels it has justified its existence along the lines indicated.

THE WOMAN’S CHORUS WILL SING CHRJSTMAS CAROLS At Meeting of Norwich Music Associa- tion Next Monday Evening—At- tractive Program. The inspirational value of music was neved more needed or appreciated than at this time, when there is a shadow over all. Musical societies are real- izing as never before an added reason for their existence in the practical patriotic services they are rendering. The woman's chorus of the Norwich Musica association on Dec. 17th will give a program appropriate to the Christmas season. Groups of English ana traditional French . carols will he sung. These will be followed by se lections from Christmas church music and modern Christmas music that will afford a strong contrast. The members of the association will then join with the choras in singing familiar chrols. The chorus is com- posed of more than 50 members, with C. D. Geer director and Miss Louise Fuller accompanist. It will be assisted on Monday even- ing by Miss Isabel Mitchell, who will y a violin obligato to one of the carols. Solos will also be given by Miss Olive Riley at the piano and Rafael de Gruttolo on_the ’cello. — Civilian War Activities. Official of the federal government have been requested by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb to make use of the organization of the Connecticut State Council of Defense to the full- est extent in carrying on civilian war in this state. “The writer the governor's letter says, “in ¢ase of any new activity or at. tempt to organize public sentiment i thought to be desirable in Connecticut by your department that you will, be- fore commencing the ne, commu- nicate with him or h ‘the state council of defense here. Asked to Loan Glasses. Since issuing a call, about a week ago, for spyglasses, binaculars and telescopes to be uded on destrovers and other warships in hunting Ger- man submarines, the United States ravy department has decided that these glasses,' whick it first asked as gifts from individual Amerjcans, shall be considered merely loans, returna ble to the donors when the war i over, provided, of course, they have not meanwhile been destroyed or lost. —— BORN TILLINGRAST —In = Westerly, Dec. 917. a son to Mr. Berert B, Tillinghast.
