SUGAR FOR
PRESERVING
The Federal Food Administrator An
nounces the Plan
Especial to the Caledonian)

Especial to the Caledonian)
Montpelier, Sept. 23-Frank H.
Brooks, federal food administrator,
announced today plan whereby all
those households who have fruits or
vegetables to preserve may obtain
sugar. Mr.. Brooks has striven faith
fully to see that first those house
holds which d id not get sugar for
canning last summer could get a sup
ply. Such households have now had
such an opportunity and for the most
part have improved it.
The Food Administration is striv-
ing to see that in spite of the sugar
shortage, fruits and vegetables will
be preserved. To this end, the pub
lie are informed of the rules apply
ing to the distribution of sugar now
available for this purpose
Rules Governing Plan
1. Apply to your local food ad-
ministrator for one of the new "sugar
permits for home canning" stating
how many pounds you need up to 25
lbs. and how many pounds you have
on hand for all purposes. If you
have had any sugar for canning,
state how much and what has been
preserved with it.
2. Do not ask for such a permit
until a few days before you actually
need the sugar.
3. State the nature and quantity
of the fruit or vegetables you wish
to preserve and whether it is home
grown OF to be purchased.
4. Furnish any other information
that the county or local food admin
lstrator may require.
5. When you receive the permit,
take it to any dealer in sugar.
6. Permits will be issued only to
those whom the local administrator
believes will use the sugar properly.
The right is reserved to refuse any
application.
Z. Additional permits may be OBJ
tanned where absolutely required.
Jellies and Jams Not in Favor
8. Do as much canning and pre-
serving as possible, but do it with a
minimum amount Of sugar. Putting
up jellies and jams is not favored, as
| the proportion of sugar necessary is
large compared with the amount OF
fruits preserved.
8. DO not attempt to obtain can
ming sugar permit in order to get
sugar for other purposes. The pen
alties for abusing these permits are
severe, and every pound wrongly
used is one pound less for our army
in Europe and our allies.
10. These rules supersede all pre-
Yious announcements Slight, xaedi.
fications may be necessary.
The public is hereby notified that
they are not to apply to their loca
food administrator until he makes
announcement in the local paper that
he is prepared to issue declarations
and permits, to meet their require
ments.
