Decides 0n Drastic Liquor Rationing Plan

HALIFAX, Jan. ll -- 1UP) —- The most drastic liquor rat- ioning plan in any Canadian Province, limiting individual--. weekly purchases to either 26 ounces of spirits, two quarts of wine or a dozen quarts of beer, will go into effect throughout Nova Sootia next Monday.

In a statement late today, chairman A.S. Mahon of the Nova Scotia liquor commission said the action was taken to as- sure "fair distribution" and having rqard t0 the desirability of limiting the sale and con- sumption of alcoholic bev- erages." Mr_ Mahon returned n few dhys ago from a conference at Ottawa between Fcdcral au- thorities and Provincial liquor commission representatives

The now stringent rationing Intern will be enforced by means of new-type permits. providinfl spaces for clerks to record a purchases Previously no permits were required for the purchase

beer or wine and customs s had been permitted pur- abuse similar quantities eseh

registration eer- tlficates must be shown before permits will be sold, the state-

ment said.

(Officials declined to omnlent immediately whether this would exclude merchant seamen and the considerable "floating" pop- ulation of servicemen from other countries from urchasl lup- plies at comrniss on stores.

During a two-week period of “sdiustment" of the permit system, stores will be open from l :30 sun. to 6:80 p.rn., Monday to Fridag‘ inclusive, instead o! the 12:8 to 6 p.m. hours which have applied for the past k months.
