FAVOURED GROUPS
100 PER CENT OF TOBACCO (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, April 30. While the average smoker will have to put up with a two-fifths cut in supplies of tobacco and cigarettes, the waterside workers, miners and other favoured groups will continue to receive their normal supplies. This was made clear yesterday by Mr. C A Lang, president of the Canter-bury-Westland Retail Tobacconists’ Association. The watersiders, miners, servicemen s clubs end other groups which the Government decreed were on priority so far as tobacco supplies were concerned, said Mr. Lang. Although the output had lately fallen 20 per cent due to power cuts in the North Island, those on priority were still getting 100 per cent on the reduced output. The others suffered in consequence.
