Food Organisers in Britain
REPAIR OF WAR-DAMAGED CHURCHES (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 20. As part of the preparations against the risk of invasion, the Ministry of Food has appointed in certain parts of Britain voluntary food organisers to look after local food, supplies should the communities in which they live be isolated by the enemy. Such a voluntary food organiser would be responsible for conserving and fairly distributing food within his area until communication with the permanent Ministry of Food organisation had been restored. Over 50U volunteers have already been appointed and further appointments are being made as the scheme is expended. The discussion of questions relating to the repair of war-damaged -churches between, the War Damage Commission and representatives of various Christian denominations and interests resulted in the setting up of the Christian Churches Main Committee composed of two representatives of each of ten bodies represented at the negotiations. Expenditure was authorised on Temporary repairs up to £IOO in the case of each individual building on condition that the work carried out was reasonably
necessary as a temporary measure and thaJt the cost was reasonable. The cost of demolition work carried out for the safety of the public will rank for payment as temporary repairs.
