BIG IMPROVEMENT

ON THE FOOD FRONT

IN

BRITAIN

NEW IMPROVEMENTS IN BRITAIN'S FOOD SUPPLY WERE ANNOUNCED YESTER- DAY BY THE MINISTRY OF FOOD.

The price of a 4-lb. white loaf of bread

will, with certain small exceptions, be re-

duced from 81⁄2d. to 8d. from October 6.

The Ministry also announced that the U.S. is sending a million cases of canned salmon under the Lease-Lend facilities while Canada is also sending one million cases.

This, with considerably increas- ed imports

of canned pilchards und herrings, will mean that dui. ing the third year of war the available supply of canned fish will exceed even that of pre-war years.

Controlled prices of several kinds of fresh fish are now being reduced.

A fine o of £8,000 was imposed at Bow Street on Louis Abramovitch, mer- chant, of Park Road,
