WARTIME MEASURE
CONTROL OF BAKERIES CONSERVATION OF MAN-POWER [United Press Association] AUCKLAND, sth December. ‘Control of the bakery business is a wartime measure designed to reduce petrol consumption and costs, and rationalise the industry so that the drain on man-power for war purposes will cause less dislocation than would otherwise be the case,” states the Minister of Industries (Mr Sullivan) in a letter reply to an inquiry by the secretary of the Auckland Bakers’ Union, Mr E. J. Watson. Replying to rumours mentioned by Mr Watson, the Minister states that the rationalisation changes will be gradual, designed to avoid dislocation of employment or proper service to the public. Moreover, no strict form of zoning was being effected at the moment, although such a course might be necessary if emergency compelled it. No new bakery might commence operations without consent.
