The report concludes with the following recapitulation-of-the four main points of the company's policy for the coming year:' (1) Plant facilities in-the United States and Canada are diverted to 100% war production. "• * (2) Beverage sales will be curtailed by policy of rationing goods to the markets in which they are sold. (3) Inventories will be conserved in accordance with the principle of securing to the company the maximum, benefits of a policy of orderly utilization, (4) Profits inevitably will decline, reflecting the lower volume of sales, but it is expected that they will meet the requirements of the present dividend. <Including has with it Consolidated Income Account, Tears Ended share per stock, payable work not dividend of $1.25 A breeds are immeasurably greater than any it aspires to cure", Mr. Hatch concludes. In the enlarged war effort that is engaging the distilling Industry as a whole, Hiram. Walker-Gooderham & Worts Limited, by reason, of its exceptional productive facilities, is playing its appropriate part. During the year plants produced substantial quantities of alcohol for the United States and Canadian governments for use in the manu¬ facture of smokeless powder, synthetic rubber, and other war material. All plants operated at capacity throughout the year and, in addition to the alcohol produced for war purposes, were able to produce more than enough beverage spirits to replace the gallonage withdrawn from warehouses. Since Oct. 8, 1942, the United States Government has taken the entire production of the company's plants for war purposes. These plants have a distilling capacity of approximately 22,000,000 wine gallons of 190 proof alcohol per year and in the eight months ended October 8 produced more than 7,000,000 wine gallons for war purposes. Under an order issued by the Department of Munitions and Supply, effective November 1, the entire capacity of the plants in Canada have been devoted to the production of alcohol for use in the manufacture of essential war materials and other industrial uses. that and Woodward Iron Co.—Year-End Dividend— Wayne Knitting Mills—$1.25 Common Dividend— from its the situation not likely to Governments generally seem fully have prohibitionists The people are becoming increasingly alive to long as they remain alert the dry movement is letuargy.
