"OSHAWA WOMAN IS CLEARED OF SUGAR-HOARDING CHARGE," Toronto Star. January 14, 1943. Page 8.

"You Are Respectable Woman" - "Explanation Reasonable," Magistrate Says
---
CUSTOM OF 40 YEARS
----
Oshawa. Jan. 14-Magistrate F. S. Ebbs yesterday dismissed two charges laid under the war-time prices and trade board regulations against Mrs. Ella Houlden, Colborne St. E., charged with sugar hoarding, and also with making a false statement with regard to the amount of sugar in her home.
The evidence was heard in November but judgment deferred until the supreme court ruling on the act under which the charges were laid.
Evidence at an earlier hearing was to the effect that Mrs. Houlden on visiting the Oshawa office of the W.P.T.B. on July 14, 1942, to declare her sugar and surrender her ration coupons for the quantity, had told R. F. Aitchison, investigator, that she had only 20 pounds of sugar on hand on July 1, 1942. Later G. A. Edmondstone, a second investigator, visited the Houlden home and found a full bag of sugar as well as some bulk sugar in the house.
Mrs. Houlden testified that she had advised Aitchison of the fact that she had a bag of sugar also but that the inspector had been momentarily interrupted and had not marked down the bag of sugar on his report sheet.
"The statement was not read back to me before I signed it and I did not have an opportunity of looking at it," Mrs. Houlden testified. She explained that she had just visited a physician prior to the visit to the office and that she was dizzy at the time.
On the sugar hoarding charge, Mrs. Houlden told the court that she had been in the habit of purchasing sugar by the 100-pound bag for the past 40 years. She said she had purchased the bag of sugar in the autumn but had not used it in 1942 because of an illness that did not allow her to do her regular canning last fall as in previous years.
"Your explanation for having the sugar in your possession is quite reasonable and as you are a respectable woman with an excellent reputation, I am forced to give you the benefit of the doubt," Magistrate Ebbs told accused.

“Sugar Hoarding Charge Is Made,” Montreal Star. March 18, 1942. Page 3.

Board Official Says Farmers Are Getting 100-Pound Lots
----
Farmers from the outlying districts of Montreal have been coming to market here twice a week of the sugar and returning with 100-pound bags of sugar, in violation of rationing regulations, it has been learned by officials of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
A preliminary investigation has already been made, L. C. Robitaille, local prices and supply representative of the board, stated today. He added that steps are being taken to put an end to this practice which, he pointed out, carries stiff penalties.
It has been a a long-standing custom, Mr. Robitaille pointed out, for farmers coming to market to exchange their produce with jobbers and wholesale merchants various necessities. It was a convenient arrangement for the farmers, but inquiries have shown that a large proportion of them have been coming to Bonsecours, Maisonneuve or other markets in Montreal and regularly returning with nothing but sugar in quantities from one 100-pound bag to several.
According to the sugar rationing regulations, the allotment of sugar is three-quarters of a pound per person per week, he said, so it is quite apparent that many farmers have been hoarding sugar.
"In our inquiry, we we obtained the names of a number of the merchants and farmers who have been dealing in illegal amounts of sugar," he said, "and have given warning that unless the practice stops immediately, severe action will be taken invoking the penalties provided for such offences."
