FRANKFORT STORE CLOSED BY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

For failure to obey the regulations imposed by the federad food administration, the Frankfort Fruit company’s store on South Main street, operated by Salem and Napoleon Zarick, was ordered closed last night for a period of ten days. The order was issued by John H. Miner, cpunty food administrator. Zarick was notified that he must keep his place closed until further notice. Charges against the Zarick’s was made by Irving Webster, publicity man for the state food administration. It is said that Webster visited the store yesterday and purchased seven pounds of wheat flour. For substitutes he was given four 1pound cans of corn. Canned corn is not a subsititute and after the purchase was made, Webster notilred Mr. Miller, the county food administrator. According to the food administra-, tion many complaints have been lodged against the Zaricks for failure to live up to the regulation imposed but heretofore they have been dealt with leniently.
