BREAD ZONING ON MONDAY
SEVERAL DISTRICTS IN INVERCARGILL The system of bread zoning adopted throughout New Zealand will be put into operation in Invercargill on Monday. Zones in the city and suburbs will be worked by the seven bakers and baking companies in Invercargill, and the public generally is asked to assist in the smooth working of the scheme by buying through the normal channels of supply. Little change or inconvenience, i r any, is expected. Five weeks ago the house delivery of bread was discontinued, and now shops and stores will receive their supplies from the bakers allocated to the various zones. Each shop and store will receive its daily or periodic quota of bread. Nobody will go short. The system has been designed to assist the war effort by reducing mileage with a consequent saving in the life of motor tyres and the use of petrol. It is estimated that the saving in Invercargill will be a big portion of the former mileage. Such a saving must appeal to the consumer, who, by his co-opera-tion, is thus indirectly assisting the war effort.
