If the 4,000-ton average is maintained, the extra 600 tons will consist of medical and welfare supplies, newsprint, and extra coal (for a few essential industries and emergency heat in private dwellings).

There were even, in some parts of the country, known Loyalists who lived throughout the war alongside patriotic heroes, only visited and warned if they became too outspoken or charged too high prices.
