Uniform food allowances will go into effect throughout Ontario as part of a new government policy announced by Hon. David A Croll minister of public welfare. The policy seeks to remove discrimination from municipalities and raise allowances in about 90 percent of them while permitting some reductions such as in Toronto township. A family of four would receive about $5.25 weekly, deemed fair and based on current prices, and households may earn up to one third of the monthly food allowance without deduction.
