Britons Find Gifts Scarce Ami Costly

By STUART UNDERI-IILL (Canadian Prose Btlif Writer) LONDON. December 28 — (GP)-

Early shoppers who raided stores for Christmas presents almost before autumn was in the air fared well In Britain this year but for tardy buyers the prospect was grim.

"Best Christmas since before [he war," said p man WhO did hi] buying before the November bud- get raised purchase taxes and the intensified export drive diverted more supplies from the home market.

"Worst ever." moaned his neigh- bor, who waited until mid-Dec- ember to join gift-seeking crowds He found shelves bare oivmany products which had found their why hook to the stores during the summer, but now are unlikely to be seen again until the dollar crisis has eased.

Prices of toys and luxury gOOdI have been going u/p steadily since the war. Although some early bargains reported. December shoppers were paying five and six times 1939 prices and boasting of their purchases.

A quick cruise oi a department store toy section revealed such examples as a celluloid doll priced at 34s. ($4.50). a school-bag 80s. and a ludo set. 3s. A small wooden rocking-horse bOrc a £6 price tag. Flimsy Christmas cards sell quickly at elcpensive prices and gadgets manfactured In backyard plants, at many times production cost. Anything in good supply has a ready sale and one salesman reported a heavy demand for chromium soap-holders for hang- ing in the bath - price £3 3s.

Jtoglstered. regular customers at liquor vendors got first call on meagre. most-expen- slve-ever supplies of spirits, and butchers had long waiting llstA for turkeys.

Nine thousand tons of turkey were imported from points as widely seperated es Hungary end South America. but most consume a were scared off by prices ranging up to iis. ad. ($1.33) a pound. One alternative was chicken. in le- duced supply due to s serious outbreak of fowl pest in Britain. Government bonuses of ration- ed foods were on the light side.
