TINNED FRUIT
Sir,—l was informed at the grocery store at which I am registered that no peaches would be supplied unless three ration books were produced; in such a case two tins of pears and one tin of peaches would be issued. This is a quite inequitable arrangement as it means that those people with only one book can never obtain peaches at all. I would like to know if the rule about the three ration books is made by the grocer or if it is an order by the Rationing Department. If the supply of tinned peaches is short, the fairest way is to supply this fruit to the first who make application. Latecomers would then have to take what is left. —I am, etc..
EQUITY,
