Weights and Measures Men Protect /Christmas- Shopper Against Raw Deal [0 Sar Seva’ Liew “i Soe

By JEAN TABBERT HOLIDAY SHOPPERS need have no fear they'll be “gifting” a box of short candy . . . candy, that is, that weighs less than the amount stated on the label. The Department of Weights and Measures in the city hall guards confections sold locally as carefully as a watchdog looks ‘aftér his family. The “protecting” {s done to carry out a state law that says a net weight must be stamped on every pre-packaged article, More than a month ago the department made its annual check of -pre-packaged candies and fruit cakes. It looked over 9374 articles sold in downtown department and sweet stores and did the same thing in neighborhood independent stores, groceries and the city market. Working in pairs, representatives of the department divide the town: up in districts 80 they're sure to cover it thoroughly. They check each store twice a year, especially to see if the scales are in precise working order,

Short Stock

When the staff was testing fruit cakes, one shop's supply was found short. Investigation proved there had been no malice involved... The-mixing ‘method had been changed so the proportions of fruit and flour when baked made the difference in weight. Since’ the shortage was caught. before holiday buying began in large quantities, the condition was remedied and the pocketbooks of Indianapolis housewives left undamaged. The checkers must .. from 10 to 100 articles in each store to catch variance. now they're covering grocery stores, especially checking. bagged oranges and potatoes.
