BREAD SUPPLIES IN WANGANUI
(P.A.) WELLINGTON. February 10. One or two bakers who do not employ labour in their bakehouses baked bread at Wanganui on Saturday, and they were besieged by thousands of people during the morning until supplies ran out. In one case, in the centre of the city, a queue nearly a quarter of a mile long lined up as soon as the bakehouse was open. Many people went short of their normal supplies for the weekend. In many cases housewives baked their own bread, there being no lack of recipes. One chain store branch supplied a recipe for bread making to each customer who made a purchase during Friday.
Housewives interviewed, almost without exception, expressed indignation that at this stage of man’s progress there should be insufficient bread baked in a country like New Zealand. One woman was very emnhatic in saying that the Atlantic Charter, or any other sort of charter, was so much waste of time if governments intended + o permit such a state of affairs to continue.
