Sugar Ration Cards 4 Meet with Approval

The sugar card ration plan is working well in Southeastern and Westward Alaska. With but few exceptions the system is meeting ap- proval and individual consumers are keeping we'll within their monthly allowance of two pounds per per son, and doing 1t cheerfully and willingly. 4..-e,
 Now and then somesone complains about having to come down town to get a card that he or she can not live on two pounds per month; :; that they think it strange the gov ernment doesn't give them all the sugar they want. Thank God that these unpatriotic individuals are in the minority.
 Sugar must go to the soldiers and the Allies and the people of the United States must show the same spirit of voluntary sacrifice which they displayed during the wheat-saving campaign.
