KHOW about xou / ! TVUS f baser PETER He is a man of his word; a man to be trusted. He does not promise unless he can fulfil. ★ He has proved himself a great wartime leader and has won the unstinted respect of the leaders of the other United Nations. ★ He has presented his case to the electors fairly and plainly, without bombast or venom. He has refused to throw mud. ★ He has maintained the fullest support for Great Britain whilst transforming New Zealand into an attacking base for the Pacific, fully equipped with modern, mechanised weapons of war, and removing from New Zealand the threat of invasion. ★ He has placed national needs before personal popularity; patriotism before Party. ★ He has been “big” enough to admit mistakes; strong enough to rectify them. tote ON HIS RECORD, HIS CHARACTER AND HIS PROVEN CAPACITY TO LEAD, PETER FRASER HAS EARNED THE RIGHT TO HOLD - THE PREMIERSHIP OF NEW ZEALAND LABOUR^ 3 1.36 W ■ The Short-weight Loaf FACTS THAT CANT BE SIDESTEPPED The Government’s excuse that bakers were formerly allowed to sell bread at any weight is untrue. The position has always been governed by the following clauses from the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, 1908: “Clause Twenty-six; (1) Every person commits an offence who sells any bread the weight of which at the time of sale is less than the seller represents it to be, or is less than the weight which the buyer demands. (2) Every person who sells any loaf weighing at the time of sale less than four pounds, but more than three pounds, shall be deemed to represent that it weighs four pounds unless he states its true weight to the buyer at the time of sale. (3) Every person who sells any loaf weighing at the time of sale less than two pounds, but more than one pound, shall be deemed to represent that it weighs two pounds, unless he states its true weight to the buyer at the time of sale.” Under this law the weight of bread was always effectively regulated, and bakers were prosecuted for even trifling discrepancies. Every baker was obliged by law to state the weight of the loaf he was selling. Compare this with the Fraser Government technique. A specification issued to bakers by Standards Institute was backed up by an Order in Council prescribing a new minimum weight. Why was the specification not made public? Did you know that the Split Loaf (far the commonest type of loaf) was now to be sold four ounces below its nominal weight? DISREGARD MINISTERIAL CAMOUFLAGE VOTE FOR STRAIGHTFORWARD METHODS.
